Anyone watched this yet? H and I did tonight on HBO Max. Be prepared, spoilers ahead.
I love that Lana Wachowski came back for it. But the absolute best part was the line about how WB forced it to make more money.
I enjoy what bits she pulled in from the original trilogy. Same buildings, some of the same characters, similar scenes. The black cat being named Deja Vu.
I do like that they bring in that both worlds need to coexist for real peace and progress to occur. And that they bring programs into the real world to live their own lives. Niobe is right that us vs them is a dangerous mindset. But she's also a little blinded by her fears.
I do miss Hugo Weaving as Smith, but Jonathon Groff was a great choice. And it fit that the remade him in some way so that he would forget his original self.
Overall, it was a great sequel. It could have been shit. I think it would be without Wachowski.
