I'm gonna go with 2.

It had the most action IMO and I really enjoyed the addition of certain characters:
Marovengian, The Twins, Train Conductor, etc. That highway chase and shootout scene was and still is Epic!

And you?

Toss up between 1 and 2. 1 because of the story and it's ahead of its time in 1999. 2 has way more action. My favorite scene in 2 is when Morpheus kills the 2 ghosts. That's a bad ass sequence.

For me it'll always be the first one. At the time hadn't seen anything like it. It was revolutionary for its time, and it had you guessing what would happen every step of the way. The story was new and fresh and a little weird but always intriguing. While 2 was good, we already knew what to expect by that point, so to me it didn't have the magical aura of the first one.

I'm excited for this latest one mainly because of just how long it's been since the last one was released. Very curious to see what effect decades of advancement have on it.

#1 for me. It was way ahead of its time and fresh. I liked how there seemed to be an undercurrent of Biblical themes in it without being overt (even though it most definitely is not a Christian movie). Even now if it comes on TV, I tend to get suckered into watching it again.

Favourite scene in #1 is definitely the lobby scene, absolutely fantastic.

#1 by far for the reasons said above. 2 was ok. 3 was trash.

Did anyone see The Thirteenth Floor? I believe it came out the same year as the Matrix and is also about living in a simulated universe. I saw it a loooooong time ago so I can’t remember exactly but I THINK it was pretty good. More of a drama less action.

I am more excited about "Matrix Awakens" tie-in, which is a Playstation/Xbox demo showing what is possible in the next generation of open-world console/PC simulations. It blew me away, and I hope we won't have to wait too long for PC sims based on that groundbreaking rendering engine.

Not a good look: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.the...w-keanu-reeves

Real shame but there was little chance of them catching lighting in the bottle like the 1st film, and damn the 1st one was just about perfect.

I don't give AF what no "critics" say!

I will be seated in my Home Theater at 8pm tonight with snacks and root beer with my system cranked up for THIS!!!!
The only thing, they missed a great Name opportunity: Resurrections is cheesy.
They should have called it "Rebooted" for multiple reasons.

Did the critics say it’s bad? I plan on watching this soon after walking my dogs.

I don't need to wait for the critics to tell me that it probably won't be very good. Watching the trailers I was just like "meh". Nothing looked new or original and they're simply milking stuff they brought out years ago when it was a game changing movie event. It's kind've played out IMHO. I will still watch it at some point since it's going to be free on HBO Max.

LOL. Here's a little sampling of one review:

"There's more just than a glitch in the Matrix. The entire server is down."

Marcus, I fully understand your desire to watch the flick and break in the new TV, etc. Lol. However, I think a better title would probably be something like:

"Matrix 4: Overplayed. Blue Screen of Death"

I feel like they have been doing that ever since the 1st movie.

It feels like all Hollywood does now a days is just recycle old movies and tropes.

I am sure I will enjoy the movie to a degree, the Matrix is a fun 'world' in general. It just seems from the trailers and reviews they reused A LOT. A prequel to the 1st Matrix movie would have been better IMO. A lot more interesting and so many places they could go with it and introduce new actors/characters.
