So it turns out The Matrix Resurrections is a love letter SPECIFICALLY TO ME and validates ALL OF MY FEELINGS about the sequels. It is a perfect movie and I want to smish its perfect little movie face and then give it a kiss on the nose.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

(Going way back because apparently you asked me a question a month ago and I ignored you like an asshole? Sorry!)
How far through the book does the movie get?
Dune 1 ends with Paul and Jessica going with Stilgar to Sietch Tabr after the fight with Jamis.

That is most excellent news about Matrix. I have a serious love of the first one and didn't want to risk damage to my affections.

If you are a fan of the first one but not the sequels then Resurrections is probably not for you. Which is okay because it's for me and I will love it enough for all of us.

I really loved them all! But the first one is my greatest love. Just a big ole Matrix fangirl.

Ok, watched Matrix Resurrections today and it was awesome! For context, I did not love 2&3, but this one totally worked for me.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. We had rewatched the trilogy a couple of weeks ago and I wasn't quite sure where they would take it but both the new directions and the meta really worked for me (even though I'd get very confused when I thought about the tech or world-building too much).

I started thinking of it like Narnia, sort of. Like a portal fantasy, I guess? Hard to let go of that cyberpunk sheen that was so exciting about the first one, but made me feel better.
