Matrix 4 Coming Soon

[The Dark Knight]

There's reactions online but this one stuck out for me:

The minute I saw of The Matrix 4 was epic. It looks like it might even over-deliver.

Keanu Reeves looks fantastic as Neo. Neo & Trinity were WRECKING SH!T by the end!!! Motorcycles, helicopters, rocket launchers, jumping off buildings in incredible slow-mo.

MATRIX IS BACK!

I think there could be something to the studio waiting to see if a release is financially viable. The Suicide Squad bombed. No Time To Die is meant to be good, but will it make the money they want? Doubtful. These films were made to be seen on the big screen, and the experience outside of that setting just isn't the same. I want to see Resurrections and I loathe delays. But I also want it to be an event that gets the attention and results it deserves.

But how long do we wait for that?

Buckle your seat belt, Dorthy...

A teaser is floating around on Twitter.

There are other teaser variations. Here's a compilation of three more.

The interactive angle is very clever, and I think it blows Spider-Man away quite honestly.

It should be noted that the official poster says 'only in cinemas.'

Edit: Correction. Only one poster says that, the others still promote HBO and the official twitter account is still holding to the HBO MAX release.

For the record, the red pill and blue pill teasers can be seen at https://thechoiceisyours.whatisthematrix.com but that wasn't apparent to me when I posted a couple of days ago.

Anyway. So, today's the day. The full trailer. We'll see how this goes.

Oh yeah, something else.

Oddly enough, one of the issues I find myself most fixated upon is bringing Don Davis back to do the score. If this movie series has a John Williams, it's Davis.

Oof. So, the long and the short of it is that Don Davis isn't coming back. Rather, the film will be scored by Johnny Klimek and Tom Tykwer. This bit of news was announced a couple of days ago.

Honestly, I'm rather disappointed in that. But the show must go on, I guess.

I'm not going to get spoilerific, but the trailer confirms all the details I've read about the movie. This is a shiny and polished trailer being towed by a vintage Aston Martin or Rolls Royce. The themes we're all accustomed to are there, but what strikes me above all else is how fun it feels. It's brighter (check the last scene of Revolutions for reference), the cinematography is gorgeous and in terms of raw power, this seems to be Neo's strongest filmic depiction. We've seen telekinesis abilities before, but they seem to be supercharged even further. Honestly, with the way they're doing the callbacks, and with Neo and Trinity back together, this feels like a victory lap for the franchise. If it really does end here, I'm sure to be leaving the cinema feeling good.
