Social media users rated the video materials and analyzed the presented fragments of the film.
Some people liked the presentation itself.
“The teaser for the new Matrix 4 is just brilliant!
I can watch it all day and never cease to be amazed.
And this feature over time ... I confess, it blew up my world, "- wrote one of the bloggers.
However, the idea of posting additional content was not appreciated by all fans of the franchise.
“So the trailer for the new Matrix is out tomorrow?
All this work on the teaser site just for the hype for a couple of days?
Sounds like a waste of energy.
Why not wait at least a week?
Youtubers will have time to shoot video reactions and so on, ”another author wonders.
Some users try to guess how the new movie will turn out.
Some people were pleased with the presented footage.
“Unlike other sequels I've come across, Matrix 4 has definitely managed to capture the energy of the previous films, it really feels like a modernized version of the original Matrix style,” the viewer notes.
However, some bloggers, on the other hand, are not overly optimistic in their forecasts.
“The Matrix 4 teaser teaser raises ... concerns.
Many shots aimed at nostalgia have flooded modern "soft" remakes, in the spirit of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
I really want to be wrong, but I’m already used to not harboring unnecessary hopes, ”one of the users shares his suspicions.
Many authors paid attention to visual solutions.
“Welcome back, Neo!
It's stunning and beautiful ”;
Matrix 4 suddenly seems very real, and it looks amazing.
Visually incredible.
Lana will push all the other blockbusters, "- note the authors of Twitter.
A number of users drew attention to the similarity of Neo with another hero played by Keanu Reeves - John Wick.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, the premiere of the fourth films of both franchises was scheduled for the same day, but later filmmakers reported that the production of "John Wick" was postponed until the end of the filming of "The Matrix".
Hi Wick,
how are you?

"The first official shot from" Matrix 4 "tells us that John Wick took both pills and is ready to knock all the crap out of the AI!" - suggested one of the authors.
Another blogger said that he witnessed the filming process.
“A year or two ago I was in San Francisco and saw one of the scenes in this film being filmed.
A wonderful and timeless franchise, ”he wrote.
At CinemaCon in August 2021, selected journalists and industry representatives were able to see the full trailer.
The Hollywood Reporter authors Aaron Coach and Caroline Jardina note that the visuals of the trailer are reminiscent of the original films.
According to them, the video shows that the main character of the franchise, Thomas Andreson, visits a psychotherapist and takes blue pills.
Apparently, he does not remember what the Matrix is, but he notices that something is wrong with the world around him.
The hero does not understand the obsession of those around with smartphones, and he has to receive a red pill from the hero Yahya Abdul-Matin II.
