An average movie

They used to call themselves 'The Wachowski Brothers' and nowadays, they go simply by 'The Wachowskis', probably due to the fact that one of them changed gender in the mean time but I'm digressing here. The Wachowskis once managed to make one of the most influential SF features ever made and, even if I'm not a huge fan, I can't deny the impact 'The Matrix' had and still has. Since then, for more than a decade, they have kept making some big budget features but all of them were either some critical failures (The Matrix sequels) and/or some huge bombs at the box-office (pretty much everything else they directed). Well, this last directing effort managed to be both, it was trashed by the critics and it was also one of the biggest flops released in 2015 and, to be honest, I don't think it really deserved better. Indeed, even though the whole thing had some potential, basically, half of it was filled with some murky dialogues trying to explain the complexities of this alien world (pretty much the same trick they used in 'Inception) and the other half was filled with some rather underwhelming action scenes. All in all, this mix was just so boring. On top of that, I think it was a mistake to include our world. Indeed, it was completely unnecessary and because of this choice, the characters had to spend way too much time explaining how those 2 different worlds could exist side by side like this. Anyway, to conclude, I have to admit that the whole thing did look pretty but it was still a boring mess and I don't think it is worth a look.ย
