I'm not sure how is this possible. It's a pretty solid film. It's not perfect, not as revolutionary as the first Matrix, but it's definitely a great and well though through production that deserves attention from the fans of the trilogy.

With this being said, I'm surprised to see that much negativity, and so many people suggesting NOT to go and see the film. This really seems like a deliberate action against the Matrix. Who's behind it? Is there another film that needs attention and fights for it by brining down Matrix? I don't know. But I seriously doubt that all these reviews are people giving their honest opinion.

My suggestion: go and watch it. To me, the characters were not as likable as in the old days, but nevertheless I enjoyed the flow and the entertainment value. Plus, seeing those mature actors reunite after so many years (I was 15, when the first Matrix came out) is a very special and nostalgic moment.

So, after reading the reviews here, I actually thought this would be a waste of time. But I'm glad I was wrong. It's been a great movie to watch. And I hope to see another sequel from Wachowski.

P. S. I've been watching it in 4K and this imagery is so realistic that I wish they somehow made it more cinematic, because you often feel like you're on a movie set. Just a bit too realistic to my taste. Two things should never be done to a movie: frame rate above 24-25 fps, and that digital quality that is so crispy it feels like you're there standing behind the camera.

There are no ups and downs to this movie. It's kind of a contemplation on a subject of getting older and having relationships at the same time. Do people change, do their values transform? Some humour goes along with it. And a poor delivery of sound with numerous f-ups by the soundman. Overall, considering it's a low budget movie made in Latvia, I'd say it's pretty good. But on an international level I'd give it a solid five out of ten. The drama lacked spice to me.

As an open minded guy, I'd say it doesn't matter much, if you're a religious believer or not, since this movie questions topics that are equally adequate for both. You basically can decide for yourself, if you think this life is fair or not and if it's really worth carrying your pain for the rest of your life. The answers given in this movie will surely not fit everyone, but they seemed pretty reasonable and even logical to me. So, watch this with an open mind. I too for a few minutes there felt like I've been fooled into diving into some religious ridiculousness, a sort of fairy tale for kiddies. But the seriousness of questions and emotions, experienced by the main character, changed my perspective. It's a good movie with a pleasant aftertaste of a time well spent.
