The Matrix Resurrections, 2021 - ★★★

In some ways I love this. It embraces meta, franchise storytelling—the style of the age—and takes it to the max. But you’re not supposed to like it or pretend it isn’t happening (unlike, oh, every other blockbuster for years).

It does what popular art is supposed to and speaks to the culture. It’s made more interesting by its coming out so close to the ultra-meta No Way Home, whose celebrated embrace of multiverse storytelling could use some analysis.

It’s wonky though. Messy. Not entirely sure about it? I want to see it again, so that’s a definite plus.
