The Matrix: Resurrections
Things being...sequels to sci-fi flicks? if so, I can think of several more that worked pretty well...
Point being, sequels to an all-time movie have about as much a chance as landing as a 747 on a country road.

Sorry I didn’t list all the sequels that worked. I’ll link my Excel the next time 🙃

How many past film references can you make in one movie!!!
We've all seen the matrix (1999) you dont have to tell us how it goes!
Also did this devolve into a simulation inside a simulation movie like the Thirteenth Floor? I didnt stick around to watch.

I have to say, what i only enjoyed in this film , are the nostalgia flashbacks, it just doesn t have the same feel of the first film, the atmosphere of the first film is just not here, the movie is a convulted mess and a flimsy remake of the first film, sorry but it has to be said.
The matrix should be kept as a standalone film, the 1999 one that is, period

"Reimagining" is just a nicer word for remake. This is the stupidest idea I've heard since the announcement of Scarface getting remade again.
For example, a lot of people love John Carpenter, but hate the remakes of his movies, even though Carpenter himself gave permission. No one criticizes him for doing that though and no thinks he sold out along with the new filmmakers who in the remakes.
wish me luck i be watching it this afternoon on my computer 😬 i let u know if i like it or not 😧

I had mixed feelings about Resurrections. I didn't think it was necessary to make another Matrix sequel, but then the trailer was quite intriguing. In the end it was... OK. I didn't love it, it's a very flawed movie. But I didn't hate it either. It lacks both the simplicity and the depth of the original movie. The meta jokes went too far and were just cringy. There were too many characters and not enough character motivation or stakes. Don't ask the question ''why...?" about anything anyone does in this movie and it is just about OK. There were some cool bits in it (the name of the coffee shop raised a smile) but a lot of the time it felt like the first draft of a script that needed a lot more work. Jessica Henwick is good and it was kind of nice that they kept the Neo/Trinity love story at the core of it. I hope they don't try and resurrect it again for any more sequels.

Can anyone explain, without watching more than once/looking it up, what the rules are for getting in and out of the Matrix in this film?

That sounds like the kind of thing I'll notice on the first watch. I focus on world-building instinctively. When I saw Inception, I couldn't believe people found it hard to follow. Of course, most of that went to my short-term memory, and I haven't seen it in years.

OK, don't ask the question "how...?" either...

On a side note another actor I can't believe I didn't recognise, Jonathan Groff from Mindhunter (Holden), I knew he was familiar, I guess cause the characters are so unlike each other.

I don't think it was explained. They used a mirror at least once to get out with the comment that they no longer need hardwired phones. Nothing was explained on getting in, but that wasn't covered in the original as characters all just appeared when phones rang.
It appeared that Bugs and Morpheus exited during their jump from the building in the opening sequence, but that wasn't explained or confirmed really. I think they probably just survived the fall and found a proper exit, after, given how well Bugs navigated her fall while sliding down the vertical sign against the side of another building she jumped from.
Awkward shot though, their transition from their fall to the Matrix code dive, I would agree; but maybe writers/director figured they had shown enough exits in previous movies that they didn't need to rehash what is probably understood already. Maybe run time was a favor if it was cut? Maybe it was just for the shot.
I can't remember any other entrance or exit shown. Just that characters were already in or out.
Perhaps a bigger question, if you want to pick, would be how did Neo survive destroying the Construct he and Morpheus were in after pulling him from the Matrix. One, he was already barely surviving in the real world. Two, the displays in the ship exploded which I would assume meant the computer hosting the Construct should have gone out too. Instead of showing it, they just cut to a wake-up shot and glossed on by what happened.
