I stopped watching after the first 45 mins on an international streaming site.
It was basically akin to "SW: The Force Awakens" where much of the original movie was re-hashed (& also, re-played in the background for contrasting effects), with a bunch of silly fight sequences and the same lengthy expositions.
When Thomas Anderson/Neo was re-released from the Matrix for the 2nd time, he appeared to be less inspired and motivated as in the original film. This is where Trinity (as Tiffany in the Matrix) was suppose to rise in power. Anyways, I was done long before the "The Matrix: The Rise of Trinity" took hold, to unleash the power of feminism onto the real world of living humans.
This is just another SJW tripe sequel/reboot. We've seen enough with Star Wars & the Terminator series to fall for it again.
I'm laboring through the woke, reborn computer game sequel "The Last Of Us 2". In the first one, adorable little girl Ellie is protected by the kind, protective, long suffering Joel as they slay zombies and human erratics through a apocalyptic hellscape.
In the sequel, darling little Ellie has become Piss Ant Millenial Adolescent Ellie discovering her lesbianism, I shit you not. She's a competent computer game mass murderer, but what a sullen, oxygen depleting, bratty, spoiled and self centered little lesbo she is. Kindly Joel who takes interminable shit testing from her is clubbed to death with a golf club by baddies, who she can then pursue with a campaign of carnage. So, White Male destroyed for the woke, competent lesbo female, as ad nauseum these days.
Who gives a shit? They weren't good movies from the first ones. Trying to mind fuck simpletons does not make it a good movie. Reeves is overrated as well. Never understood the love of the franchise. It sucks.
Matrix jumped the shark on the 2nd one. And they originated the subliminal sjw crap. Every bad guy is pale fucking white male while nearly every good person is black or Asian.
It's ok if it's subliminal because ultimately, the hero was still Neo, despite the presence of the Architect, the Merovingian, and Agent Smith as the perennial adversaries.
Elevating Trinity (or Tiffany) to superstardom is pathetic because she contributed very little in the original series besides being Neo's main squeeze. In effect, if Neo was 50 and not a horny guy in his early 30s, he could have done it entirely without her.
Even the most hardcore Matrix fans saw that Carrie Ann-Moss was a sideshow with a hokey love that would not have made it, in any wannabe Dr Zhivago type of film.
