My kids are 11 and 9 and have no idea what the Matrix is. I feel like this is targeted at me.
It might be a little too violent for the 9 year old. Especially the deaths of Switch, Apoc, and Mouse. "Not like this" his hard.
-
Unfortunately, your kids can't be told what the Matrix is. They have to see it for themselves.
-
Leaps off a tall building

We have 8 and 10 and we have just been thinking that maybe the 10 year old could handle it. Sadly the 8 year old is really sensitive so no time soon.
-
10 years old is entirely too young for this film. Mature 13-14 year old is definitely the earliest anyone should watch this.

I hate my local theater because they never participate in this stuff but they're still playing Twisters which has been available on VOD for weeks now.
Edit
For the record I'm not knocking the quality of Twisters. I thought it was a pretty good summer blockbuster. I'm more knocking the quality of my theaters programming choices, playing movies to empty rooms while never doing special events.

Man, that movie sucked so hard. It was extremely disappointing.
-
I really enjoyed it, saw it twice. was a classic summer blockbuster with good actors and the CGI for the storms was insane and really well done
-
It was significantly better than the original film at the very least. Both of them were stupid but at least the new one didn't make me hate the main character the whole time.

Maybe. But at least they're milking a very good cow this time rather than an inbred goat (another sequel).
-
Another? Was there more than one film?
-
-
Well, they already did that not too long ago. So seeing them do this is more like "well, the sequel didn't work, what else can we do to milk this even more?"
Is there a plan to show all of them in this anniversary? Because the first one on its own is not quite enough, I feel. It opens the story of the movies that follow.

I just got The Art of the Matrix in the mail the other day. I was/still am obsessed with this movie/series.
-
Great movie. Wonder if they'll make a sequel someday.

As an out of work union filmmaker, unless you want the film industry to die, please don’t pay for this. It encourages studios to stop making new content, simply rereleasing their old content. The film industry is hanging on by a thread as it is right now. Many of us are going to leave to start new careers FAR too late in life to be taken seriously.
I understand your point, but for most of the year more than half of every cinema screens are showing marvel/disney trash that even your average movie goer is sick of. Going to one of two screenings of an old, actually good movie isn't going to make or break the industry.
Do what you want, brother.
The industry is broken. The marvel shit and allowing the studio heads to deeply involve themselves in the creative process through nepotism and ego are what brought us here.
They don’t even care if the content is good anymore. They have insurance. I worked on Madame Webb and got the sense that they knew it was going to bomb. They have stockpiles of the good stuff to fall back on if they get desperate for money.
The Matrix was made in a time that will never happen again.
Anyway, it is my opinion that going to see this movie actively encourages the film industry to continue their fall into mediocrity unchecked. If one dislikes the super hero shit, don’t go see anything until they put out a new movie. Thats just my advice. Again. Do whatever you want…
I'm just here to say I appreciate your insight.
No problem. Thanks for your compassion. My colleagues and I sincerely appreciate it.
