Actual things on its mind. Actual great cinematography without that muddy digital sheen. Actual performances. Wachowski's a terrific director.
Won't be surprised if this movie gets the same treatment as the sequels: most people don't like them at first because they compare them to the one they liked... then a decade later, people watch and think, "holy shit, compared to what we have now, this is fucking dynamite." I'm choosing to buy stock now before the reassessment occurs, lol.
Give me gorgeous messy thoughtful studio filmmaking like this over safety, over nostalgia, over Netflixification seven days of the week and twice on Sundays. Even when I wasn't sure how I felt about a sequence, I was still thinking "goddamn, no clue where this is going, how fucking exciting is this??"
