I LOVED the Matrix movies. Heck, those movies are the true source of where the "Neo" part in my name came from. Fifteen years ago (yikes, has it really been that long!?), I was a freak for those movies. XD

I don't want to spoil anything, especially since it sounds like you guys didn't watch the trilogy, but let's just say it ended in a way that didn't feel that satisfying. The fact a fourth is now on the horizon makes the situation interesting because now it can kind of redeem how the whole thing ended, as well as revisit the unique and interesting concepts and features that the trilogy presented.

I can say that watching the John Wick movies gives me vibes about the Matrix trilogy (especially considering Keanu Reeves has the starring role in both trilogies). Lots of gun play, underground societies, crazy stunts, and dark themes definitely brings back the memories.
