To find out if his reality is a physical or mental construct, to truly know himself, Mr. Anderson will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more.

To find out if his reality is a physical or mental construct, to truly know himself, Mr. Anderson will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more. And if Thomas…Neo…has learned anything, it’s that choice, while an illusion, is still the only way out of—or into—the Matrix. Of course, Neo already knows what he has to do. But what he doesn’t yet know is the Matrix is stronger, more secure and more dangerous than ever before. [Warner Bros. Pictures]… Expand

Reeves and Moss are magnificent at resurrecting Neo and Trinity, and they blend exquisitely into Lana Wachowski’s matured style of filmmaking. Read full review

Where the love story was a means-to-an-end afterthought in the first Matrix, it’s now the crux of the tale, and the emotional undercurrents are so intoxicating that it more than makes up for the relative inelegance of the action scenes. Read full review

Katie Walsh

The result is a swift, self-reflective, often funny and always original reimagining of the material, which sees Wachowski reassessing the existing characters and lore of “The Matrix” while embroidering the text with new ideas and details. It’s less of a reboot than a remix, and this time, it’s a bop. Read full review

The thing that carries The Matrix Resurrections through some of those rough patches instead is Wachowski’s obvious affection for the characters, and the actors’ reciprocal love for this world and its endless intellectual curiosities. Read full review

Wachowski is still full of ideas, even if she doesn’t always wrangle them into a strong plot, and there is much to enjoy in this revisit to one of cinema’s most original worlds. Read full review

The Matrix Resurrections is an incoherent, narratively sloppy mess. Read full review

Incredible in very unexpected ways. Looking forward to watching it again. There is a lot going on that isn’t just surface deep.

I would say it is OK. If you like Matrix 2 & 3, this one is fine. It expands on the story and lore and introduces some minor new stuff. If you're looking for something that blows your mind like Matrix 1, then you're gonna be dissapointed (and probably you already don't like 2 & 3 either, soI would say it is OK.

If you're looking for something that blows your mind like Matrix 1, then you're gonna be dissapointed (and probably you already don't like 2 & 3 either, so why see 4?). It's entertaining, action sequences are cool, etc. In my opinion it's what you would expect. Not outstanding, but in my opinion not that bad as some people say. Average. Main low points: We don't have the real "Morpheus" and "Agent Smith", and that sucks.… Expand

Overall this is very bad and I think it was a mistake to make this. If we are looking for positives, there are decent special effects and we learn a tiny bit more about the machine world and their motivations. That’s about where it ends. Even the first point about the special effects isOverall this is very bad and I think it was a mistake to make this. If we are looking for positives, there are decent special effects and we learn a tiny bit more about the machine world and their motivations. That’s about where it ends. Even the first point about the special effects is countered by the fact that the effects in the first Matrix were pretty revolutionary when it came out, but now in 2021 there is really nothing special and in particular the characters look very silly when they are flying. Next, the endless pointless shooting and fighting scenes in this movie really highlight a fundamental issue with this entire story, which is that it makes no sense for the humans and machines to be fighting in this way. Both the fights themselves and the reason for the fights are severely lacking. There’s are dozens of times in this movie when 10+ guys with automatic weapons are unloading on the good guys from feet away and I’m pretty sure no one got hit by a bullet the entire movie. We are supposed to just accept this because Matrix. As I watched all these nonsensical scenes it really makes you think, why is this even happening. In this future dystopia where machines have enslaved the whole human race, why are they even bothering to punch and shoot each other inside the simulation. It does not appear to be lethal for either side and really just feels pointless and silly. Next, The dialogue was pretty garbage; just lots of cliche throwbacks (“I still know Kung fu” are you kidding me!?) Well I have a lot more thoughts that head into spoiler territory but overall I think this movie was unnecessary and has tarnished the overall quality of the trilogy. I can’t give it a 1 because I made it through the whole movie but damn it was dumb.… Expand

Worst movie of the year 2021. The chosen actor are not fitting the Matrix Universe. Everything needs to be some sort of "Hipster" Crap. Hate this movie.
