To call this movie a surprise would be the biggest understatement of a whole pop-culture generation.
The more powerful we've been becoming as a species, the more torn we've been growing to be - as individuals as much as groups / communities / societies.
Skin colors, genders, poor vs rich, liberals vs conservatives, order vs chaos: We've never been able to explore and purposefully use our own consciousness as we are today. And what have we mostly been doing so far? Exactly what the creators of this movie almost flawlessly portrayed.
Does the CGI suck quite a bit more than one time? Yeah, sure. Are most of the plot and some of the side characters a bit shallow? Yep, they are. Nonetheless, this is a GREAT movie!
As far as I can tell, most of us running away from reality has always been (one of) the most challenging issue(s) of our existence since we became sentient. To mirror that challenge in form of stories, particularly the ones about a hero / heroine, is something we've been doing forever. And what can I say? The story is FLAWLESS!
The fact, that soo many people seriously hated this movie and some even felt offended by it, tells a lot about our current state of mind as a whole.
Here: I did it. I didn't spoil anything. So, go and watch this movie. If you can, do it with your significant other and talk about it, later.
If you - like I had been doing - have been living like Neo & Trinity since the original trilogy, buckle up & enjoy the ride. Afterwards, get back to work!
