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'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Our wings are not tired.
I really loved them all! But the first one is my greatest love. Just a big ole Matrix fangirl.

I’m glad to have that preparation, Jess. And I’m happy for you!

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.

Ooooh. Sounds like it's imaginary Gene Kelly, which is even better! Holland as Astaire is making me very happy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love both of those ideas!

Seriously? Physically they have got it completely the wrong way round. They should swap roles.
(It's like when tall Nicole Kidman played short Princess Grace, and short Naomi Watts played tall Princess Diana. They should have swapped too, though I doubt that would have made the films any better).
