The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Everything we needed to know about the Matrix and the struggle between man and machine we got in the first movie. But here we are with a 4th showing up.
I guess they are trying to hide some of the plot but really it looks like a rehash of the 1st. But then they could use the excuse of "oh the matrix got rebooted" or something, since, it's like computers and stuff.
The trailer does make the movie look cheap somehow. Like it's made for TV.

I'm going to throw out a very early prediction: young Morpheus (Yahya Abdul-Mateen) ends up being evil and/or under control of "the matrix" or whatever.
Though the film is not as criminally poor as "V for Vendetta," which the Wachowskis wrote in 2005, it struck me as more insidious. There's something about the ululating crowds who line the action in color-coordinated rows; the desperate skirting of ordinary feelings in favor of the trumped-up variety; the confidence in technology as a spectacle in itself; and, above all, the sense of master manipulators posing as champions of the little people. What does that remind you of? You could call it entertainment, and use it to wow your children for a couple hours. To me, it felt like Pop fascism, and I would keep them well away.

If you don’t care for movies 2 & 3 (or somehow thought they were unnecessary), why would you expect to like this one? To me, the first 3 are just one long movie, and i enjoy them. Let’s see how they’ve taken it, but I am rooting for this one and hope it opens up a new chapter.
