What’s New on HBO Max in December 2021

In early 2003, it looked like The Matrix was about to be the next Star Wars – a sci-fi franchise with enough fanatic enthusiasm and cosmic knowledge to last for decades. The first film, a 1999 box office hit, to become more popular only on DVD (becoming one of the first must-buy films and perhaps appropriately helping this medium establish itself as a VHS replacement ), and the anticipation was high for the sequels being shot. in a row and scheduled for release one after another, but then these films did come out, and the reception was … mixed. The Matrix Reboot scored the highest ever score for an R-rated film, but confused critics and audiences alike with itsdense world-building , quirky effects, and a hated mid-film dance break . By the time Matrix Revolutions came out, the franchise, which seemed to be the last a few months ago, suddenly felt incredibly dated, and the shiny vinyl outfits became less and less cool with each passing episode of the action. And I say all of this as a sequel apologist – more than any other mainstream sci-fi franchise, The Matrix is unappealing because of its sleeve (and sunglasses, and knee-high boots, and a black plastic trench coat, and a black plastic trench coat, and on the sleeves with anime elements) and …). I personally like that it takes a lot of hesitation and the pursuit of big ideas and big emotions instead of small details like “really trying to have fun.” Still, the franchise is a franchise, and The Matrix has enough name recognition to be reborn, albeit with only half of the original writer-director pairing – Lana Wachowski is flying this solo with the help of Sense8 co- creators David Mitchell (writer, who wrote Cloud Atlas , not a comedian) and Alexander Hemon. The trailer hints at deliberately repeating favorite moments from the first film and re-emerging old friends and new faces, and possibly old friends with new faces (the much younger Yahya Abdul-Mateen II takes on the role of Morpheus from Laurence Fishburne.), But he is looks no less esoteric than the sequels (and of course Wachowski’s post- matrix work just got weirder). Is this a sequel? Is this a reboot? Both? It probably doesn’t matter if you’re still open to the franchise – and it will still air on HBO Max on December 22nd.

Other, mmm, funny things will come in December: a high-profile adaptation of Emily St. John Mandel’s award-winning post-apocalyptic novel Station Eleven (December 16), which follows the devastated Earth after the assassination. a virus that we hope looks better than another high-profile adaptation of the famous Earth source material this year after the massive killer virus ( Y: The Last Man , canceled before the first season ended); and the series finale ” Insecure” (December 26), which is reason enough to once again swallow the entire series. Here’s a list of everything that’s coming (and going) on ​​HBO Max in December 2021. Headlines with (HBO) next to them. available on HBO and HBO Max; everything else is exclusive to HBO Max (although The Matrix Resurrections , like all streamer daytime and premiere dates, will not be available to customers on an ad-supported plan).
