Unnecessary sequel
Summer of 1999.

Pre Millennium.

Just at the start of our current high-tech always-on society.

And The Matrix was released, becoming hugely influential in the process and popularising the concept of 'bullet time'.

Both the sequels (Reloaded and Revolutions) were released during 'the year of the Matrix' in 2003, doubling down on the philosophical ponderings of the first movie (in particular, during Reloaded, with the whole still-to-this-day confusing Architect scenes), with Revolutions also seemingly leaving the trilogy with nowhere to go.

Until nearly 20 years later, when one of the two Wachowski siblings decided to resurrect both Neo and Trinity in this.

I's very much a film of two halves, with the first half in particular hugely self-referential (lots of nods and winks to the audience, and even clips from the earlier films shown on TV screens within the movie), while the second half settles down more into your standard action fare.

Whilst enjoyable enough, it lacks anything to match the sheer pizzaz of the first movie, or even the Freeway chase/burly brawl/chateau fight from the second or the Neo Vs Smith showdown in the third.
