I'm happy SOMEONE is enjoying it. Because it... christ it was awful. I had no expectations for it, and it felt like some big budget fan fiction tripe. Almost a parody.

But I've come to understand that whether you enjoyed it or not comes down to what you decided the film was about, early on.

For me, I assumed it was all in Neo's head. Especially the bits outside the Matrix. So I didn't bother investing in or even taking seriously any of it, expecting it all to crumble around as Thomas Anderson's fantasy life collapses on him by the end.

But uh... then the credits rolled, and I realized all that nonsense was "real". Huh.

Haven't seen it but other movies or shows like the witcher, I liked a lot but apparently a bunch of internet people are about to start a revolution over how horrible they say it was. Same with the recent Star wars movies, they were all great for me except the one about Solo. I've learned to remind myself that my experience and taste can and will be different than the crowd. I watched seasons of shows in great enjoyment and then apparently I was not supposed to! Don't let others' reviews and opinions set your expectations, people tend to see what they're looking for.

I enjoyed the parody. Visual aesthetic of the original but at high resolution (might rewatch in 4k for the fun of it)

Since I had no idea what the plot was I didn't form many future expectations. I think the dialog won't hold up well long term
