Jason Kehe at WIRED today — "The Real Reason Matrix Resurrections Bombed" . . . . "Lana Wachowski’s film practically burns with mirrors, with self-scrutiny. The very first shot is of an upside-down someone walking toward us. It’s a reflection, it turns out, in a puddle. We’re in for inversions and reversals, Wachowski is signaling, and not just cinematographically. The first third of the movie or so recapitulates the events of the first Matrix, but badly, unconvincingly. 'Why use old code,' one character asks, 'to mirror something new?' The movie critiques, even hates on, itself. It looks in the mirror and doesn’t like what it sees." . . . . |
