They only made one matrix movie
Hard disagree.
2 had some pacing issues, but all 3 are amazing works of science fiction, the last 2 suffering from understandably not being able to top the first movie's reveal of "Your entire existence was a lie." 2 and 3 expand on the lore while visually presenting deep philosophical concepts, but as studios have learned, trying to appeal to the widest audience means not challenging your audience.
They have since gone so far with that lesson, it has lead to stuff like the new Star Wars trilogy, a plotless trainwreck of endless appeals to nostalgia so blatant I'm surprised they didn't have force ghost yoda turn to the camera and smile impishly like austin powers.
2 was trash because 3 didn't save it when it could have.
Hey the second wasn't good but I wouldn't lump it with the other two
Which one?
First one of course
The next ones are:
- The Matrix Reduced
- The Matrix Reused
- The Matrix Recycled
- The Matrix Retired
The Matrix Ribbed (for her pleasure)
The Matrix Diagonalized The Matrix Transposed The Matrix Decomposed
The matrix trilogy:
The Matrix
Animatrix
The Matrix 4
I say the matrix movie because I only vaguely remember the first one.
I remember the first one just fine, its the other that are blurry
There is only 1 movie and it's The Matrix. The fuck you talking about "trilogy?" You must be confusing The Animatrix with the real movie. It's the only way.
The trilogy is far better than the latest abomination of a movie that came out a few years ago. I felt like that one was created solely to cash in on the franchise name.
Yeah, it was. They even said so in the movie. It could only have been more obvious if Lana Wachowski had looked into the camera and said: "Yes, I am only making this movie so that the studio doesn't make it worse."
I like the theory that she purposefully make it so bad the franchise was killed but in a way that executives would still think it's a great movie that will make a lot of money.
Until someone will "reboot" it. 😒
Shame they only ever made the one movie though.
True.
Honestly, that comic just didn't age well.
I say the Matrix Trilogy because Matrix Revolutions is an antimemetic cognitohazard inconceivable by the human mind.
I say The Matrix Trilogy because Resurrections had so many references and clips from the first movie that it doesn't count as its own film.
I say The Matrix Nonalogy* because there is one movie and several short films in The Animatrix (The Second Renaissance was needlessly cut into 2 parts)
(*no I don't)
I say the Matrix Cliff's Notes because Animatrix is better than the rest of it.
Nah, there was only one. It's a shame they didn't make more.
If both Wachowskis were not involved, then it's not canon. Everything else is just heresy.
That’s the best argument I’ve heard so far
