The self-referential meta screenplay is mildly amusing in the first half hour of this fourth "Matrix" installment. However, it soon wears out its welcome and becomes overly muddled with ludicrous complexity that 14-year-olds will think of as philosophical depth. The bending-over-backwards bullet dodges and the wall-running somersaults quickly become tiresome. Keanu Reeves' iconic Neo somehow keeps the film watchable, but it does remind us that the original "Matrix" was never anything more than a very cool 1999 action flick - not a religious experience that some nerds would have you believe.
