I can't defend Resurrections though.

I can. It was a great flick. They were in it to milk one more payday out of it, but I still enjoyed where it went.

In contrast, I felt Rel and Rev were a bad Aliens2 to Matrix's Alien. Full of action, none of the pacing. The wachowskis should've hit up the writer who wrote the stolen Matrix manuscript for a sequel instead, but they woulda had to pay her.
