Matrix: Should not be Rebooted

Whoever thinks that the Matrix franchise should be rebooted should be stuffed in a box and dropped from a high altitude over a sea of acid. The Matrix trilogy changed the way we as people see the world. O.k maybe for a lot of people it wasn't that deep, but you can't sit there and say that it didn't change your life. The Matrix offered unique camera graphics that were never seen before in film. For example, Trinity's slow motion kick that left fans with their mouths dropped wide open. Due to the uniqueness of the graphics, multiple movies and shows replicated the stunts in their own unique ways.

The concepts of the Matrix had people scratching their heads and asking for more at the same time. It challenged people to open their minds to new and incredible opportunities. The plot challenged people to think. It wasn't too difficult to understand, unlike Watchman where I am still confused as to what the plot is and why the movie ever had to be.

The Matrix is a classic example of a film or franchise that was meant for a certain time and that time only. It's like remaking the Titanic: what would be the point of retelling such a major story if the original was told so darn well? Doing something like that would ensure no justice to the original and it would not make anywhere near as much as those films have made.

There are an assortment of franchises that need rebooting. I don't even condone a sequel or prequel. Adding any small bit could mess the whole thing up. If it is done, I guess the Wachowski brothers would think it's the best thing to do, but they haven't said anything about it. I'm glad that rumors of a 4th Matrix were just rumors. I don't think there is any more room left for story with this franchise. There is such a thing as milking a dry cow, you get no results. The Matrix era has come and gone, let's not disturb what has already been made good history.
