The Matrix trilogy started with a bang and went out with a whimper. Now 18 years later, Thomas Anderson (Neo) is a renowned creator of a popular computer game trilogy who is haunted by odd memories. Is this his real life or is he back in the Matrix? After two pointless sequels, the last thing the world needed was another Matrix movie, and in that respect this reboot does not disappoint. The fourth feature is utterly useless and so boring throughout the 150 minute running time that I found myself constantly drifting in and out of its over-convoluted plot. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are back, Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving knew better and stayed away.
