Last night the boys and I saw the Matrix Resurrections movie.
…no bueno.
Apparently 20 years of advancing in CGI and sci-fi concepts was not enough. For me, anything other than the first movie is dead to me. LOL I don’t know what I was expecting, but it wasn’t what I saw. I think it was the type of thing where a franchise has to revamp for a new generation and was trying to get the balance between homage and Easter Eggs to the old movies but also add new characters and a contemporary setting.
It fell short for me. (No offense if you liked it.) The four of us tried our best but it descended into yelling at the TV, arguing among ourselves and trying to join the dots on the confusing parts. Confusing your audience does not make it an epic, intelligent film. It’s just annoying. Then came the jokes about Lawrence Fishburne not reprising his role as Morpheous, with the replacement being a flamboyant thinner and younger guy none of us really liked. The only time we got to see him in his final form(!) was a statue featured in a scene….and we deduced that it’s where the budget was spent, rather than good CGI/hiding the wires and the script.
Then came the memes in the group chat.
My favourite parts of the night were hanging out with my dudes and eating what was called a “Honey butter burger.”
We’re all now in this haze between Christmas and the new year. I don’t even know what day it is. Feels like a Sunday. All. The. Time.
TLDR:
*I’m tired,cbf. Need sleeeeeep even though this is the final blog for the year.
*despite my week being a rollercoaster, I know you don’t want to hear about losing my car keys for 5 days and being stuck at home, the 40degree celscius weather, the fact I got mum’s doggo a lion mane to wear or that I had a medical procedure involving 4 people staring down my hoo-hah for half an hour.
So with this, I will see you on the flipside. Let’s hope the world gets better next year.
