I only just got around to finally seeing this 
Honestly it reminded me of the other Matrix sequels. There were some cool aspects but like 2 and 3 it kinda gets bogged down in an overly convoluted storyline and just isn't very coherent. But I was giggling at the unsubtle mockery of Hollywood reboots complete with a jab at Warner Bros

We're living in a society where everything has to be perfect. We consume social media and marketing is shoved down our throats on a daily basis. We are at a point now where we have become oblivious to it. I think the intention of the movie was to bring us back to our imperfect and terrible reality. We watch movies to escape it but when we watch something that is our own reflection, we are disgusted. The cast were purposely bad, the storyline was purposefully meaningless. The jokes were purposefully cringe. Lana knew exactly what she wanted to do. Make one of the worst reboots ever and she achieved her goal. I think it's one of the reasons why Lawrence wasn't invited back. But here's the thing, the fact that the movie is bad beyond words makes it revolutionary. It wakes us up. This movie was making fun of modern society. The terrible jokes, the catrix, the awful acting, the nonsensical storyline was all purposely planned. Lana knew everyone would hate it and talk about how bad it was. and that was the whole point. People are going to pick apart this movie for the next 100 years trying to understand why it was made the way it was and what we can learn from it.
