I watched Matrix Resurrections on HD Blu ray a couple days ago. Overall rating: meeehhh. Not worth buying on HD Blu ray.
Spoiler alert: I'll try to avoid major spoilers but it's hard to convey much information without giving away some of the plot.
First, the plot was contrived, especially at the beginning. I realize that's like saying Bugs Bunny cartoons aren't very realistic, but I was unable to to ignore the sensation that I was watching a movie. I can't think of a great way to say this, but during some movies I get immersed in the movie and temporarily forget I'm watching a movie. Resurrections wasn't one of those movies.
It seemed like Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss were going through the motions with just enough effort to lay claim to their paycheck. The romance aspect of the plot also seemed a little over the top. My impression is that this was done to appeal to women, but the chemistry wasn't there.
There are some interesting twists once you get past the initial doldrums. Without giving too much away, I did like the way some of the original characters were worked back into the plot.
The sound track seemed so-so. I've been frogging around with the sub levels at my lake house and I had then adjusted down quite a bit. I suspect it would have been better with a bit more bass.
In an attempt to provide some context, to me Resurrections was not as good as the first three matrix movies, and well below both Bladerunner movies, below Inception, below both Total Recall movies, and below Edge of Tomorrow. It might be in the range of Terminator 3 (my least favorite Terminator movie).
If you're a Matrix fan it's probably worth streaming it for cheap, but it's not an HD Blu ray keeper for me.
Feel free to critique my critique. I couldn't figure out how to accurately convey my impressions of the movie.
