This came out in 2015 but is so 90s in so many ways, can’t believe the Wachowskis were basically like, what if a movie about rollerblading…in the air?
This is soooo many movies in one:
* A Cinderella story
* A remix of The Matrix
* A rom-com about meeting a wolf-man from the wrong side of the tracks
* A bureaucratic comedy
* A psychosexual drama about wanting to fuck your mom
* A dystopian drama about capitalism’s final boss form and what happens when you let billionaires colonize space
* A mecha anime
* A Bee Movie™
I feel like the Wachowskis’ action sequences work better at a closer scale — I miss the legibility of the first two Matrix movies — it seems like the larger the canvas and the more things are onscreen, the harder it was for my eyes to follow.
Wild that Eddie Redmayne did that voice and the Wachowskis were like, yes, more of that please
