Excellent analogy. You actually grasped more than you realize. I encourage you to watch it again in a few days with the 40,000Ft mindset. It is a VERY meta heavy film, but it also shit's on nostalgia and calls people out for being easily manipulated and controlled by emotions. This movie was a normie honeypot.
Better than you expected? There was not one memorable scene or character and the movie ends right when the story should be getting going. They reunite the team and then it just stops.
I myself found it ok....at best. The action is so compact and squeezed together, while in the original (and first sequel) these scenes were wide open, with a greater sense of grandeur. I found it hilarious that in a movie where they are trying to reclaim the "red pill" from the conservative/conspiracy theorists, they drop even more red pills to the masses.
And?
It was better than I expected, but not good enough to recommend. It reminded me of the fake steak that Cypher wished he could enjoy.

WTF
What can I say? My expectations were low.
The story seems to have been setup to invite more sequels.
