Maybe try not sitting in a shitty place? The appeal is obvious, if you're sat in a good spot (just as with any theater), it's gonna look and sound amazing.
Why are there even seats that are shitty

Nah for me they've done well to keep some core in Neo/Trinity and introduce new characters everywhere else. My guess is this is another iteration of the Matrix, perhaps one of the 1-6 where their work enables V7 to do it's thing.What? I think you are going to be disappointed then
Sitting in a shitty seat, Imax or not, is gonna be shitty. So yeah.So it’s only good for people who sit in the centre seats at the back and it’s generally known that its a shit experience otherwise?
Because life sucks Sol and we live in a world where Ted Lasso gets awardsWhy are there even seats that are shitty
I think this too. Weaving and Fishburne are much older gentlemen and probably wouldn't make sense for them here. I'm sure they'll be back in a role like Mark Hamill in the new Star Wars saga if this film is a success and they green light more.I think I read that Weaving was done with the character a while back, while Fishburne probably doesn't have it in him to pull off the no-doubt extensive fight scenes. Reeves has proved himself still well capable of that in the Wicks.

What taking the red pill does to a man.
They literally just replaced Morpheus with a younger black guy.
Fishburne has been in most of the John Wick films with Keanu, wonder why he isn't in this.
He died in another piece of canon
Has Grant Morrison written some new Invisibles comics then?No, I'm confident this will be as good as the original.

A lot of first Matrix is nicked stuff from Grant Morrison Invisibles. Can't find the link but this is old Morrison interview from 2005
DRE: This may be old news but was the controversy over The Matrix films being like The Invisibles blown out of proportion?
GM: It's really simple. The truth of that one is that design staff on The Matrix were given Invisibles collections and told to make the movie look like my books. This is a reported fact. The Wachowskis are comic book creators and fans and were fans of my work, so it's hardly surprising. I was even contacted before the first Matrix movie was released and asked if I would contribute a story to the website.
It's not some baffling 'coincidence' that so much of The Matrix is plot by plot, detail by detail, image by image, lifted from Invisibles so there shouldn't be much controversy. The Wachowskis nicked The Invisibles and everyone in the know is well aware of this fact but of course they're unlikely to come out and say it.
It was just too bad they deviated so far from the Invisibles philosophical template in the second and third movies because they blundered helplessly into boring Catholic theology, proving that they hadn't HAD the 'contact' experience that drove The Invisibles, and they wrecked both 'Reloaded' and 'Revolutions' on the rocks of absolute incomprehension. They should have kept on stealing from me and maybe they would have wound up with something to really be proud of - a movie that could change minds and hearts and worlds.
I love the first Matrix movie which I think is a real work of cinematic genius and very timely but I've now heard from several people who worked on The Matrix and they've all confirmed that they were given Invisibles books as reference. That's how it is. I'm not angry about it anymore, although at one time I was because they made millions from what was basically a Xerox of my work and to be honest, I would be happy with just one million so I didn't have to work thirteen hours of every ****ing day, including weekends.
In the end, I was glad they got the ideas out but very disappointed that they blew it so badly and distorted all the Gnostic transcendental aspects that made the first film so strong and potent. If they had any sense, they would have befriended me instead of pissing me off. They seem like nice boys.
Hopefully it's so bad that it's good but really looks like another nostalgia cash out.
A friend watched the trilogy for the first time a few months back and is very excited for this. So at the end of December I'm fully expecting a giant tsunami wave of Omicron to enter every single one of my pores as the packed audience cheers for the Mr. Anderson line.unironically excited to risk omicron and watch this

The Matrix has borrowed from a few sources - content wise the Grant Morrison Invisibles link is undeniable. The aesthetics people are saying they nicked from the Blade movie in the 90s. The underlying philosophical questions from the movie, i.e. what is reality, what is the nature of being, what is choice etc they borrowed heavily from the Landmark Forum (of which both the Wachowskis attended in the US). This was a new iteration of the EST training done by Werner Erhard in 70s.A lot of first Matrix is nicked stuff from Grant Morrison Invisibles.

King level answer.

Have the Wachowski's actually made anything good since the first one? I'd say it'll be pure muck.

Oh thats a good shout, totally forgot about Blade. Tbh I don't really mind the very heavy handed borrowing as the most important thing is the end result and the first Matrix is pretty much a flawless film.The Matrix has borrowed from a few sources - content wise the Grant Morrison Invisibles link is undeniable.

Maybe that's the twist.Kinda wish he shaves off the beard. So he looks like Neo and not John Wick.
Would explain why he's so damn good at killingMaybe that's the twist.
Nah, V For Vendetta was a decent film. Not amazing, but definitely enjoyable.V For Vendetta was a adaptation from Moore's comic book and a average one at that.

Deffo - first one is a work of art. I watched it again recently for the first time in donkeys and it’s aged so well, and is still so pertinent given we’re living in a faux Matrix.Oh thats a good shout, totally forgot about Blade.

I think there’s truth to what you’re both saying. It’s a decent movie (great cast!) but the comic book is so much better, and the changes they made in putting the film together really watered it down.Nah, V For Vendetta was a decent film. Not amazing, but definitely enjoyable.
