This isn't flogging a dead horse, this is beating the hell out of the zombified remains in the hope that you can get something usable.
Lana, the Matrix trilogy should have remained that, a trilogy. The fourth film was absolutely dire and announcing a fifth one sounds like even more inept necromantic filmmaking. If you are hell bent on milking the franchise then make the prequels, at least then you can make an interesting story about the rise of AI and the rising tensions among humanity leading to the war.
