Various unsatisfying video game-related shorts.

It's honestly not worth bothering with.

A man deports half-demons back to hell in an attempt to bribe his way into heaven, but an escalation in their activities draws him into a greater struggle.

A phenomenal movie from many angles.

John Wick returns to alternately ruin and end his friends lives in the hopes of leveraging an obscure rule to free himself from .. whatever their assassins society is called.

It's adequate, but has nowhere near equality: I think one unimportant woman dies on-screen and then the body vanishes, another gets hurt, and this has to be the most brutally misandrist movie I've ever seen. Feminist approved!

A hacker learns reality is not as it appears.

A sci-fi ripoff of elements of Lucid dreaming, with elements taken from the Neuromancer/Shadowrun "cyberpunk" genres.

A pioneering movie for special effects, which have held up quite well, and its general pot and atmosphere. Technically not original for science fiction fans, but great nonetheless.

One of my favourites, although I really wish the actor playing Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) was good looking.

A series of non-cannon short animated films inspired by The Matrix - (1999 movie).

Better than the main series in some cases. I rather love every one of these short films.

A mailbox sends objects back and forth through time, and it's discoverers only think to write love letters.

Very well-paced and thoughtful; highly recommended.

Reality is poised to unravel for some reason, and only a song can save it for some reason.

Nonsense, and also a terrible sequel-sendoff.

Neo and Trinity are alive because of science fiction magic, and their minds are blue-pilled again because they create lots of energy for the quota of an AI guy.

The writing is bad, the filmmaking is bad, the in-movie lore is awkward and poorly explained, it has callbacks to earlier movies which strip it of uniqueness, the characters are bad, and the acting is mediocre (sometimes because the characters are bad).

This is not a good movie, either as a standalone movie or a Matrix movie.

Mediocre bullshit, with terrible choreografoo, shitty effects and generally shit all around.

If you like the first one you'll dislike this one. You'd have to love it to even tolerate this shit.

  • Properly titled John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum

47 samurai are exiled when their master is framed, and vow revenge against those responsible.

A decent enough movie; watchable and forgettable.
