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.

Não sei se foi o roteiro que falhou, se foram as próprias actuações em si, se foram os efeitos gráficos, mas acho que o filme tinha potencial de ser uma coisa boa e eles simplesmente desperdiçaram essa oportunidade.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s obvious if you stop for a second Lana made this movie a Micky take & to try and prevent Warner Brothers making more and more sequels. It’s supposed to make you cringe and p*** you off. It’s basically a blatant rewrite of the 2-3 done in the manner the marketing t***s wanted with a happy ending that’s cheesy. I thought it a great middle finger to sequels that stands NOT as a part of the originals just a *** off WB. Note I don’t see the need to watch it a second time though.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Love Is.

POW! CRACK! SWISH! BOOM! DEJA VU! IMPEDING DOOM!

18 yrs have passed in the "our" world since Revolutions, 60 yrs in the Matrix "real" world, & "The Matrix" franchise as we knew it has been cleverly turned into a video game series.

Trivial video games, coded & created by none other than, our high-flying digital superhero, Neo "The One", who is once again his Matrix friendly "Thomas Anderson". Blue-pilled & despondent, coding his faint memories into even more controlled actions via a game controller.

It is utterly depressing. Defeating. Bitter disillusionment. As Agent Smith (Anderson's new business partner) would say, "It is inevitable."

But within the Matrix, reoccurring paths are taken & those faint memories are slowly reawoken with the help from new character "Bugs" & a "Thomas Anderson" digitized memory of Morpheus.

Soon after, Thomas (Neo) & Tiffany (Trinity) are reunited, rescued & released from the Matrix human copper-top pods & suddenly the Matrix is not just another video game.

The fight for freedom once again is set in motion between our human heroes & Matrix bots. And in dire need & perfect prophecy, Trinity harnesses the power of the Matrix to fly, saving them from free fall & inevitable death.

Triumph ensues for our beloved couple because in the end, & in the beginning of it all, through the complex codings & philosophy, religious undertones & flying bullets, love is the overarching theme of "The Matrix".

Love is what binds, breaks & bonds us all. Love is a belief in one another - a thought, a memory, a feeling, & conquers all. And with the two of them together, they are fully formed, complete, & unstoppable. Together they are, "The One."

As the evocative end quote states, "Love is the genesis of everything."… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Even at their most tedious points, the original trilogy was always engaging at some level. You were invested Neo's story, and wanted to witness it to its conclusion. But now there is this. A movie not just incredibly cynical or on-the-nose regarding Hollywood throwing out remakes and reboots, but a movie that makes everything that happened in the trilogy utterly pointless. Further, Matrix Resurrections looks like a TV movie. From the slowed-down from 24fps action (typically you shoot at a higher framerate for slo-mo) to the mediocre action scenes that could be from any streaming action movie. And brace yourselves for the laugh-out-loud wire work in the final scenes. Yes, we've gone from the mind-bending bullet time of the original movie to actors visibly bouncing on hidden wires. One of the most disappointing movies I've watched.… Expand

This is what happens when people disconnect from their sense of art and the autonomy, patience or care it demands. It's all just really either a bunch of amateur or Hollywood actors happy to a easily get Matrix status / money, no soul.

It's just really a trash movie pin-pointedly designed to make you never look for a continuation of the Matrix trilogy ever again. I guess this is also a way to do it.

It would have been way better to just let a new story or destiny unfold, characters never seen before and let people write & direct it who aren't way above 30 years old and haven't been busy smelling their own armpits and farts since 2003.… Expand

It was unexpected, had some very nice fresh elements, and the writing was actually solid in parts (in other parts it was terrible). It engaged my imagination, and that's all I would have asked for.

I'm sad that they didn't bring the OG Morpheous (Fishburne) back as he's one of my absolute favourite actors, and let's face it, if he's going to be playing as a video game character why not make him into a young rendered Fishburne character? It would have made sense.

I also didn't like some of the fan-pandering and nostalgia-mongering but thankfully this is overshadowed by some great cinematography and thoughtful plot points.

The first half of the movie is actually kind of excellent, and I'm not at all bothered by the lack of good action scenes as we get enough of those from just about every other movie that comes out.

It probably won't age that well, but it's better than Reloaded, easily.… Expand

The Matrix Resurrections probably doesn't need an introduction but I'll give one anyway. It's time to return to a world of two realities, the seemingly real world and what lies behind it. Mr. Anderson (Keanu Reeves) must follow the white rabbit once again, cue the guns and slow motion bullet time. Look I'm sure we can all agree that The Matrix is a brilliant movie but with two bad sequels that we'd all prefer to forget exist at all. When a franchise ends up with more bad movies in it than good ones it's probably time to call it a day and move on to something else. Well that's what should happen but it's not what ends up happening, we're living in a constant stream of remakes and franchises so is it any wonder they decided to have another crack at The Matrix? I got caught up in the hype, sure didn't we all? The chance to see iconic duo, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss onscreen together again with Lana Wachowski directing. There was so much damn potential and what did we get? Rubbish, that's what we got. Enough already, let the franchise die and stay dead.

The Matrix Resurrections is desperately living in the shadow of the original. Surprisingly there's a good bit of footage from the original in this sequel. So much that I ended up feeling like I'd rather be watching that instead and if I had known what this was going to turn out like I probably would have stuck to the first movie and not bothered with this unnecessary sequel at all. The opening felt like a remake and as the story progressed the less invested I became. The Matrix gave us ground-breaking stunts and memorable fight scenes but The Matrix Resurrections gave us nothing we haven't already seen before only better. I loved whenever Neo and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) were onscreen together but aside from that it's an overblown mess. The decision not to have Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving reprise their roles as Morpheus and Agent Smith was a huge mistake in my opinion. If you're going to use people's nostalgia to get them to see another sequel then you better get the original cast back. Yes I was excited to see Neo and Trinity again but leaving out Fishburne and Weaving felt wrong. Absolutely no disrespect towards Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Jonathan Groff. There's nothing wrong with their performances but there's not a whole lot you can do with a badly written script, and a story no one asked for. Yes it looks impressive visually but that's not enough to save it.

I'm annoyed at myself for getting excited for a new Matrix movie. Well I learned my lesson now and I'm going to go back to just acknowledging one Matrix movie. The Matrix Resurrections is not worth your time and not recommended. For that it's only getting 3/10, for Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss. As for the rest I'm already trying to forget I've seen it.… Expand

But it does it well, really well, with a healthy dose of self humor. The visual layer and its ascetics are in line and not in the way of the message. A message that may be a hard pill to swallow as it demands reaction - either You ignore it or acknowledge and take responsibility for the problems that are shown straightforward. Acting is top-notch and sounds along with narrative layer, again having a good dose of auto irony and humor. You may have a different feeling and opinion about the movie, but I am sure that within the time it will only get more and more respect and understanding. At least I do hope it will, otherwise we are really f. up.… Expand

"Everything with a beginning has an end Neo... UNLESS you own the rights to a succesfull blockbuster franchise and care more about producing low effort sequels to keep te money coming in!" That's what should have been on the poster for this"Everything with a beginning has an end Neo... UNLESS you own the rights to a succesfull blockbuster franchise and care more about producing low effort sequels to keep te money coming in!" That's what should have been on the poster for this Abomination of a movie. "Not like this..." would have been tasteful too.

The Matrix Resurrections is fan fiction, written while making burned toast by people that did not understand the original movies. The point of the matrix is that not everything is the way you think it is, just because someone tells you it is that way. Are you making genuine choices, or are you fooled into believing that you make your choices? The problem with humans, to keep them happy in the matrix while the machines use them as batteries, is that they need the illusion of choice to accept the simulated reality around them.

The Matrix trilogy is one of thé, if not the best, movie franchise to have included strong philoshycal and religious imagery into its movie without ever saying it out loud. The subtlety with which this has been implemented in the movies is so good that you can watch the original movies ten times and learn something new every time. With Resurrections you are guarenteed to want to slice your own wrists a bit more every time you watch it.

Philosophy, religious imagery and strong themes like choice, love and destiny are gone in favor of futuristic and comedic elements like programmes that have actual emotions instead of seeing them like a word in their program. Neo is trapped in the matrix with Trinity who has been brought back to life for the second time in the franchise, only to serve as a plot point and to suddenly have powers like the One. A new version of the matrix and its new architect try to harnass the power between Neo and Trinity as there are 'power shortages', and the machines now wage war amongst each other... which is by far the dumbest idea to have been introduced into this movie.

Zion has been rebranded through the powers of CGI and is now called IO. Morpheus is dead because Laurence Fishburne was smart enough not to return for this travesty, and Agent Smith is played by a new actor because Hugo Weaving was also not touched in the head. Jada Pinket Smith returns as Niobe, with some of the worsed de-aging make-up i've seen in a long time. Even though IO is huge, we only ever really see one particular platform where almost every IO scene is shot... very lazy. The same can by the way be said for most of the movie. Small sets that copy parts of the original movies are used for its scenes, and most of the world is CGI.

I'm not sure what to say. If someone told me the story of this movie and asked me if it would make for a worthy sequel, i would have told them to seek medical attention. This is the same dumb, lazy and out of touch sequel **** like Independence Day Resurgence, The Predator and Alien Covenant. One of the Wachowski brothers might have been involved in this, but it sure seems like none of the original creators were.

I hate this abomination. I'm glad i didn't have to watch this in theatres. **** you Warner Bros. **** you Keanu for accepting this disgraceful movie rol. 1/10. Better ideas have been cancelled, just like this should have been.… Expand

At least it felt somewhat like a Matrix film in concept but not visually. I don’t mean the visuals are bad. The visual effects look good and so does the cinematography but it’s missing that iconic green tint. This is obviously a minor issue but it impacts the film a lot. The green tint is iconic to the trilogy and it not being here makes the film feel like it’s lacking something. A lot of this film feels like it’s lacking. The story is really weak and contrived and it’s meta commentary is awful. It’s possible to do meta commentary on your own films/genre right, look to the Scream films for that, but it’s awful here. They make fun of the tropes but then do the exact same thing without a hint of irony. It feels like they forgot there was meta commentary to this film. It’s my biggest issue with this film and it really drags it down. Some of the action doesn’t necessarily suck but it isn’t great either. It’s hard to tell what is going on and it’s filmed in such a bland way. The performances are fine. Keanu Reeves is being Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Ann Moss is fine. Neil Patrick Harris and Jonathan Groff are standouts but I take issue with their characters. Groff plays Hugo Weaving’s role from the original films but he just kinda starts being Agent Smith. There isn’t any build up prior and he just becomes him. The issue I have with Neil Patrick Harris’s character is due to his presentation on screen. They lower the frame rate whenever he is on screen and it looks awful. They lower the frame rate a lot in this movie and it never looks good. This film really didn’t need to have been made but at least it has some sort of message which is more than I can say for Revolutions. I probably would recommend passing on this movie and just watching the original again.… Expand

An incredibly cynical look back at the last 20 years or so. Not just of the Matrix, but society and how film and technology has been affected as well. The film is so cynical, intentionally so, that it inevitably goes over casual audiences.

The middle part is the worst: fast edited action and the feminist elements are annoying (women everywhere, especially in the top positions) and the political correctness also. The ending is ok.
Technically the movie is on great level, but they are not revolutionary (remember the first Matrix...). The story is good, with some clever connections the the first 3 matrix movies. The not so serious dialogues in the beginning about the sequel were a bit out out of the place in the serious world. And it would be better to show a completely different part of the matrix story with different characters and not the old Keanu Reeves and even older looking Carrie-Ann Moss. I didnt enjoy their love story in this movie either: If they love each other so much, they should be together since a long time. In addition Jessica Hanwicks as Bugs and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are without charisma (remember the charisma of Laurence Fishborne?) and Janda Pinkett Smith as Niobe is also annoying.… Expand

Agent Smith: "Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world, where none suffered, where everyone would be happy? It was a disaster. No one would accept the program, entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world, but I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through misery and suffering. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this". On such a nihilistic premise it was not possible to build anything, it vanified any hypothetical attempt at emancipation as it had already been performed and falsified. The saga was more or less usable and enjoyable on condition of forgetting one of the worst screenplay inconsistencies in the history of cinema or, vice versa, of interpretating it as the demonstration of the truthfulness of the basic assumption. "Matrix 4" is a bogus product, added almost twenty years later without any valid artistic reason: metatextuality avoids the fundamental dilemma, the disquisition on free will is already stale in itself and in any case Lana has the modesty not to take it seriously, the love story between Neo and Trinity had already touched quite another emotional peaks in the mutual resurrection of the first 2 episodes, the criticism of the geek generation who wanted to change the world and instead became its new ruler (and slave) is euphemistically weak, the rejection of a binary logic ("two-valued", Boolean algebra, the Parmenidean and Aristotelian "aut aut: tertium non datur") reiterates the allusion to gender fluidity in cast, actor roles and audience. The rest offers no substantial novelty (CGI, action scenes, characterization of the protagonists).… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Meet the new improved NEO!!!

Well kind of; he can't fight, he can't use any powers and is no longer the hero. He can stop bullets; which he does over and over again and a completey useless punch. By the end, you are hoping one of the bullet scenes loops takes him out to end both his misery and the audience. By the end he is completely subservient to trinity; apparently she was the hero entire time. Not forced at all; made complete sense (sigh).

All the scenes are utter rubbish; jumble story that is forced and looks like a college class production. Something about humans and love conquers all with just terrible plot points that go nowhere. Acting and directing at all time low. The opening scene is just terrible and jumbled; it's like they shot everything in a 20ftx20ft set only.

The good:
+1 star - for any scene with neil patrick harris, he really did a great job and any of his scenes were well done. Made a terrific "bad guy". Unfortunately that is about 15mins of movie.

Some nostalgia and cut backs to old movies; probably best parts.… Expand

Or, les deux précédentes (suites) partaient déjà totalement en vrille après le tout premier, lequel tenait plus ou moins debout, demeurait bancal mais tel un somnambule, continuait de déambuler ardemment et de nous en mettre plein la vue sur le fil de l’incrédulité !

C’est que le Matrix 1, celui de 2000, avait pour lui non seulement ses effets spéciaux stupéfiants mais surtout une réalisation… prodigieuse ! ici, dans ce Matrix 4, c’est clairement la douche froide à cet égard : montage trop nerveux, ralentis moins bien faits, moins spectaculaires et surtout plus rares ; enfin, le côté artistique est bien moins réussi, moins frappant, le cadre, la photographie, les couleurs même !…

Sans compter l’absence de Fishburne et Weaving qui apportaient chacun dans leur registre énormément à leurs personnages ! leurs ‘remplaçants’ ne sont pas à la hauteur et les ‘nouveaux’ sont anecdotiques. Au mieux. Reeves a l’air lessivé ici (c’est vraiment toi, John Wick, on ne te reconnaît pas !) et Moss un brin endormie… je crois qu’ils n’en ont rien à battre en fait : ils prennent le fric de ce super nanar et basta !

En tout cas, l’espèce de scénar qui prétend nous occuper pendant deux heures et quart (hors générique de fin de presque…. un quart d’heure !) pédale à la fois dans la choucroute, la nostalgie maladroite et le fan service décérébré. C’est dire ici que la Matrice tourne à vide presque aussi vite qu’elle a commencé et qu’après un démarrage lent, elle cale au bout d’une heure… et ce qui se déroule ensuite sombre dans un certain ridicule, pour ne pas dire un ridicule certain.

Une seule bonne idée dans le lot, si je puis dire, celle du psy… qu’on n’avait pas vu venir. Mais de toute façon, une suite directe après les si médiocres Matrix 2 et 3 ne pouvait aller que droit dans le mur, surtout après un hiatus aussi long (18 ans après le 3 !).… Expand

It reduces the previous three movies to nothing, the first half an hour constantly makes fun of this movie existence. The acting, the cgi, and some of the fight scenes are really decent, but the writing, oh my good the writing, is just awful. The 4 is a generous 4 and it is mostly because it constantly reminds of u of how much better the prev 3 movies is.

First half of the movie felt like it might have something interesting about it storywise (even though it did feel like many scenes were so called fan service and only there for fans to remember how cool Matrix was when it came out etc), butFirst half of the movie felt like it might have something interesting about it storywise (even though it did feel like many scenes were so called fan service and only there for fans to remember how cool Matrix was when it came out etc), but second part felt a bit dumb and even more with many scenes just repeating past movies and no real substance to the movie. I know that many expected action type thriller and thats why put even lower ratings, but I did not really expect that and to me this felt similar to last Matrix of original trilogy in many ways (I dont rate it highly). Anyway, it was watchable, but nothing impressive or on level of first Matrix at all.… Expand

I'll get straight to the point, as the film itself does: The Matrix Resurrections wears the trappings of a cyberpunk/post-apocalyptic Jesus-monomyth love story just like and following the continuity of the original Matrix trilogy, but it isI'll get straight to the point, as the film itself does: The Matrix Resurrections wears the trappings of a cyberpunk/post-apocalyptic Jesus-monomyth love story just like and following the continuity of the original Matrix trilogy, but it is first and foremost a work of metafiction about the original franchise and the cultural impact it has had in the intervening two decades.

While the first film was an anarcho-socialist manifesto and an allegory for capitalism's use of cultural constructs like gender (and race and sexuality: there's a reason all of the bad guys are *White* men - when they don't appear as literal machines - fighting a multi-racial, queer-coded group of good-guy revolutionaries) to control the masses, as flippantly described in throwaway lines here during an early montage set to Jefferson [Flying-Machine]'s "White Rabbit," this is a film about what has become of the film industry (and video games to some extent, though the gaming commentary is more about the culture and "gamers" as a population) and the sociopolitical implications of the Death of The Author concept as it relates to The Matrix specifically, which - rather unexpectedly for an ultra-leftist transgender manifesto - has been misappropriated by a vicious Right-wing fanbase that may in fact constitute a majority of its fans (though this can also apply to franchises like Star Trek and Star Wars, which have overt socialist utopian and anti-imperialist messages, respectively, that one hell of a lot of their fans somehow managed to ignore).

The commentary is far less subtle (and less esoteric - no need for a Classics or Medieval History minor to understand the references here) as a result; for example, the context for the production of the film itself is explicitly described as part of a film-within-a-film (well, game-within-) discussion, right down to naming the actual publisher. We still get some broader discussion of the Plato's Cave nature of reality, and there IS a central philosophical theme*, but unlike the original film, it's primarily in service of criticism of media corporations (especially interactive art as a monetized Skinner box), tech bros, the normative bias of the mental health industry, fandom (especially entitled obsessives and the manosphere, which I can all but guarantee is why Bugs has dyed hair; search "manosphere dyed hair" if you're blissfully ignorant of their bizarre fixation), and the broad fascist resurgence of the post-2001 era (I suspect that Lana has read Bob Altmeyer's The Authoritarians, given some of Neil Patrick Harris's lines).

So those going in looking for post-apocalyptic sci-fi, a beat-em-up action thriller, a monomyth arc, or even a love story are bound to be disappointed. Intentionally so. The plot is haphazard and shallow (think video game fetch quests); the character motivations are similar (literally fan worship or being a programmed algorithm; the latter, again explicitly discussed in dialog, is a metatextual reminder that you're watching actors following a script); the fight scenes are lackluster, often framed without a sense of real threat or consequence and cut so the action is difficult to follow; and discussions of the history of the dystopian "real world" - and shots of it - are short and perfunctory. Essentially, this film takes all of the elements that fans of the previous films might have latched onto while ignoring the core political message and dials them way back or eliminates them entirely; the result is more likely to appeal to fans of The Guild than, say, Joe Rogan.

The execution isn't perfect, but it does what it intends, entertainingly. If you like metafiction and hate a large portion of The Matrix's fanbase - and post-industrial capitalism - as much as Lana Wachowski does, you may well enjoy this film. If you don't, you'll almost certainly react like the commenters describing it as "woke trash" - somehow missing the extensive in-your-face use of the same waking up metaphor that informed *that* phrase in the original film, including the use of RATM's "Wake Up" as closing music (a cover of which closes out this film as a final callback and middle finger to fans who hate that a sequel isn't simply the original work).

*There is a consistent philosophical theme throughout the film: a discussion of human brains as algorithm processors - not altogether different from computer programs - the loops on which we operate, and how the systems of control that are the main focus of the previous films are constructed from these loops. It's not groundbreaking - most of The Matrix's philosophy is hundreds to thousands of years old - and was explicitly discussed in similar terms in, for example, Mr. Robot (appropriately so, as the latter shares at least as much with the former as with Fight Club), but it is a consistent philosophical theme that is interwoven with and reinforced by all of the various textual elements.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Remove the faux philosophy of Reloaded and Revolutions, and throw in a dash of scathing real-world commentary, equally targeted at the studio machine and at the frothing audiences that demanded its existence, and you get The Matrix: Resurrections. I guess it's arguable whether this film is 'canon Matrix' or an experiment in using an existing film franchise to make a statement about the nature of impractical and unneeded sequels to completed stories. There's a very clear subtext in the film that Warner Bros strong-armed the Wachowskis into making a Matrix sequel and told them if they didn't do it, they'd do it without them (and we've all seen how that turned out for George Lucas). To me this is a much more clever and cutting Matrix than the last two that is more focused on present-day societal problems and how we interface with media. It's extremely metatextual, and takes critical swipes at large portions of its own audience. Some will love it, some will hate it. Personally, I found it refreshing and about time some creator with clout said something about what the endless fart stream of unnecessary sequels is doing to the movie industry and to people's minds. There was also a handy parallel between the film's Matrix and today's internet and how it makes people act and think.

There are fresh new concepts like some magnetic nanoparticles that allow programs to take a physical form in the real world (cool!), and not ALL the machines are evil, which paves the way for interesting human-machine relations. I liked all the new characters and loved that Agent Smith was portrayed by a different actor this time. I personally like that they didn't bring back the entire old cast because I'm getting sick of seeing all my childhood heroes grow old, unflattering and fat, as is done in many other film rehashes. If I want to see Hugo Weaving's deft performance as Smith I need only to boot up any of the original three films. Watching it again for the member berries would have done nothing for me, so it felt nice to change it up. They kept the primary actors/characters, wrote some out, and reimagined others. The new characters were more fresh and enjoyable than many of the trilogy's original side characters, though they're no more or less throwaways overall than your average film side characters. I feel as if many people haven't seen the original trilogy lately and are looking back at those films through rose-colored glasses. Aside from the first film, they aren't as good as anyone remembers. The fights in them aren't all as good as people remember, either, and the new ones in this film are on par. I think it goes over people's heads that the "Morpheus" in this film is not actually Morpheus, but a program Neo created for his video game from his vague memories of Morpheus and with dashes of Agent Smith thrown in. It's a new character who is simply named after Morpheus. The actor did a very good job playing a character that was a bit of a mashup of Smith and Morpheus (the fusion of their personalities was fun) and I enjoyed him a lot. Bugs is the show-stealer of the new crew, however, because unlike many characters in this series she blunders more often and has a bit more of a novice edge, making her seem actually vulnerable and enhancing the dramatic tension of fight scenes. I liked her charm and humor, and that the film overall had more wit and humor, not as over-serious as its predecessors. NPH is a great villain.

At the core of the story is really just a heartfelt romance between Trinity and Neo. It ended with flashes of Magnolia and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, and I wasn't sure where it was going to land, but was happy with it ending less bleak than the last one. As for claims that the film is woke, I didn't see it. The messages and humor take jabs at all sorts of groups and felt nonpartisan overall. There's a subtle jab at MAGA that might trigger you if you're balls-deep invested in the MAGA slogan, but there are as many parodies of snarky liberal hipsters, so I don't really see the big deal. The cast of the film is full of lots of women, many races, and a handful of gays, but it's never politicized. Any "feminist" moments in the film are pretty practical ones I think any rational person could get behind (e.g. don't judge me unfairly just b/c I'm a woman), not the horribly artificial gender tiffs and male-character-bashing of films like The Last Jedi. I'm sure this will result in many downvotes, but I think there are two reasons this film is getting lambasted.
1) It should never have existed, and rather than the creators simply folding to audience/studio demands to make it or watch someone else make it (and potentially ruin the trilogy's legacy) they wrote a film that directly addressed the issue.
2) This went over people's heads, or they simply don't like that the creators decided to do that instead of just trying to churn out some needless sequel.… Expand

Nobody expected anything good in the plot department here - after all, even the 2nd Matrix was good only in action and visuals. But this time they've totally failed even in the technical department. No style, no visuals, mediocre and boring action scenes, bad choreography, mediocre operator work. Special effects are bland, sometimes horrendous, especially when they show robots up close. And we're comparing movies with 18 years of difference.
On top of that, the new actors are all dull. Lame new Morfeus, lame new Smith, lame Merovingian, lame and boring new main heroine and hew crew. Barney Stinson seems like the only good new addition, but he can't carry this trainwreck.
The whole movie feels like a parody - check this out, we can do similar scenes as in the first movie, but worse. Well, good for you, but why don't I just go and watch the first movie then?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked some twists in this film such as Smith being suddenly helpful then being a huge a-hole again and the scene where bots were used as bombs was ridiculously disturbing and reminded me of The Happening, a movie that seriously scared the s**t out of me. Sadly, this movie is in the realm of dumpsites.

I dislike this movie for the reasons numbered below.

1. There's not much action and the fight scenes felt so weak.
2. Neo just waves his hand at those bots to defeat them to the point it becomes unbearable to watch. We all know Keanu can still do some badass martial arts right John Wick?
3. Gunfights dominated this movie. The way they replicated those action scenes that made The Matrix Trilogy iconic was cringy and weak.
4. Does the camera man have some kind of mild epilepsy or somethin'? His seizures seem to occur when people fight in front of him. This almost feels like I'm watching those horrible Bourne fight scenes again and I almost puked 'cause of all the camera shakes and the infuriating throw-impact cuts. RIP action-focused cinematography.
5. Trinity being the one who unlocked her flight powers first before Neo smells like feminist agenda to me. It's fine that she was the key to Neo's Ultra Instinct mojo but her being set as more powerful than Neo at the end didn't feel right. What was she, The Two? Or The 0.5?
6. Knowing the fact that nothing actually improved after all those sacrifices in the previous films almost made me shoot the screen with a shotgun. In fact, everything went down to s**t 'cause humans were forced to hide even deeper, Zion got f****d up real bad, the Matrix was still infected with that God-awful version of Smith, and bots were added to f**k things up even worse 'cause Smith can easily infect them no matter the distance. What did Neo accomplish? Humans being able to grow strawberries with the help of rebel machines who sided with humans after his sacrifice in Revolutions? Dafack (face palm)
7. The Brass Against rendition of Wake Up by Rage Against The Machine in the end credits was an abomination for me. I hate it and it made me hate this movie even more. Murdering a masterpiece is unforgivable. This film was a 5 before I heard that song but I decided to give this a 3 for I detest that rendition at the end. The original song was already perfectly used in the first Matrix movie.

If I can choose to forget one movie I'd choose this one. They should have stayed at Revolutions. It's funny though how Neo in this film didn't want to make a 4th game about The Matrix. The filmmakers should have listened to Neo.… Expand

So let's be clear it was ok as in average. Not good or bad. Just meh. For fans of keanu Reeves and the matrix enjoyable at times. At times.

The cgi is poor and the sound and music forgettable. The action scenes are bland and confusing. The story is very messy but with interesting ideas poorly executed. The acting was good but only in that they all tried their best but didn't have much to do. Keanu and Carrie look great as older people which is nice (for them). Laurence Fishboner doesnt return because Lana doesnt like him but that scientology nut returns...Will Smiths wife and she's quite good. Hugo Weaving was meant to be in M4 but also had a falling out with Lana so his part is played by that chap from Mindhunter. The problem with this is Hugo is meant to be part of a story twist but they forget to make changes to accomdate the new actor swap so the twist falls flat leaving audiences confused.

But it's a very odd film and not what you expect. A middle age love story in some ways. The ending is surprisingly romantic. But the two have no chemistry or even less than they had before but I get the feeling they respect each other which is nice. Though trinity is the new lead but she doesn't have one scene without keanu which seems odd. For a film about female empowerment the latter is contrary to that theme. The problem is...I believe Warners were going to make this film. Without Lana and Lilly (who co made 1-3). And (now) sister Lilly, wisely said 'no I've done that and dont wish to return'. So Lana made this film I believe partly out of spite. She is on record saying she 'didn't want to make it but she did under duress' clearly to stop others from tampering with some thing so personal to her and her transition / life journey. And honestly ...this is very prevalent in much of the writing... especially in the middle. They literally do a meta parody naming Warners and stating they are forcing Keanu (Lana) to make matrix 4 (video game) and he (she) says I don't want to and they insist so keanu (lana) considers suicide. I mean that's some fudged up ship. Then keanu (lana) says I feel i put too much of myself in the games (films). So this entire film is kind of a middle finger to the studio and sadly it's to the films detriment. It could have been cleverly interwoven into the matrixverse but instead it's likely intentionally blunt with a possible wish to kill the franchise. I feel the fans deserved more but who really cares as we can watch the first 3 any time we like.

So when...if ...you watch 'The Matrix 23: ReReLoadedRevolutionsRenovations' maybe consider all this and you'll have an easier time understanding what the hell is going on. But you'll still be confused as much of it is a confusing mess....But possibly this is the one time in a film that the mess is intentional. A mixed bad 5/10 better than I thought it be… Expand

Matrix Resurrections is an extremely well-done film that has a solid story that covers both what you'd expect out of a follow up to the Matrix Revolutions but also spends the early part of the movie dealing with the meta text of what it means to make a new matrix movie and the glaring problems with reboot and sequel culture. This is a far more meaningful film than any late sequel/reboot to come before it (perhaps because one of the original authors is involved, thank you Lana).

The only problems I see people regularly complaining about that are reasonable relate to the use of CGI and the cinematography, simply put this movie just doesn't look as good as the previous entries however that is purely down to the way the scenes were shot and edited, the sets, the costumes, and the concepts are all great. Still, such a thing is a minor complaint and I'd suggest anyone using that as a reason to give this movie a low rating is missing the forest for the trees. This movie is deeper than its action, just as the previous Matrix films were about so much more than their set pieces.

Oh, and if you dislike the movie because it's "woke"; congrats, you failed to understand that the whole series has always been "woke" from the start. Your prize is this dunce cap. Enjoy.… Expand

In comparison to the enormous deception that were movies 2 and mostly 3, I really appreciated this "resurrection". The sense and writing were clearly superior. Also, for me, this new film had a lot of symbolic resonance (Resonance: that makes sense to me; Symbolic: or metaphor). I like it.

I presume our memory of The Matrix (I) stops a lot of people from just letting themselves be immersed and appreciate a different chapter and take on the story. Is it not also a sign that we have become so spoiled and saturated that we cannot appreciate decent (but not great) movies and give them horrible scores?… Expand

Trainwreck of a movie. Bad ideas, bad attempt at connecting with the franchise, bad fights, recasts lack charisma. Both bad Matrix movie and bad movie in general. Stay away

La presenza della regista non è minimamente riuscita peró a limitare il danno. La cosa che più mi da fastidio è la totale mancanza dell’atmosfera presente nel film, rovinata con una fotografia totalmente fuori luogo e da classiche battutine all’americana, ormai sembrano quasi obbligatorie in ogni film. C’è poi da dire che, per quanto io ami Keanu Reeves, ormai non è più in grado di sostenere ruoli del genere. Per quanto sia forse impossibile raggiungere il livello dei precedenti Matrix (del primo specialmente), mi pare inconcepibile che gente del mestiere abbia potuto far uscire una roba de genere. Imbarazzante..… Expand

Whilst Keanu ostensibly reprises his role as Anderson/Neo, it would be more accurate to say that he's playing Lana Wachowski, as much of the movie is, essentially, Lana talking directly with the viewer, about what The Matrix means to people and why a fourth instalment in the franchise would be pointless and disappointing and why she simply won't make one.
Towards this end there is an unenthusiastic continuation to the story, but just as it goes nowhere and feels empty, we're constantly being told by Keanu/Lana why a sequel is such a bad idea, even as it happens before us.
I think it's pretty funny that a movie that so clearly states its intentions, over and over again, is so bashed by the exact same people that the movie tells us it's not going to try and placate.

This isn't The Matrix 4; this is a two hour admonishment of the way movie studios and franchise fans, force artists to make garbage sequels.
It's not subtle. The message is front and centre and delivered astonishingly effectively. Anyone not understanding that deserves to be unhappy that they didn't get The Matrix 4, because the joke is very clearly on them.… Expand

Not even his chemistry with Trinity worked so well. Speaking of Trinity, actress Carrie-Anne Moss was the one who had an excellent performance and stole the show, and the character Agent Smith who came from an incredible role with Hugo Weaving, now played by Jonathan Groff and was terrible, didn't make any presence. of impact, not even feeling that villain.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before watching the movie, I was confused about some of the criticisms. however after watching in person, it turned up to be outstanding! I realized I was misleaded by some reviews. The true is, a little patience you need to watch the matrix 4.

If you are a serious audience, you should be able to appreciate about what the movie going to tell after one hour's watching. The movie has a deep structure, not a shallow one. simply amazing!

I have to salute to the writer, you are awesome as usual. you did a really good starter for a new trilogy! no disappointed!!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like the attempt at a super meta sequel, but it falls flat. Kind of wish the film had continued on with the first half premise and done away with the return to reality/rescue trinity part. Could have been interested to just have a whole film where its Keanu trying to figure out what's real and then maybe just at the end bring some actual doubt of reality into things. Might have left things open for an 5th film.… Expand

There's no real story being told here, It's just a way to attempt to revive a franchise that was definitively capped off with a third film nearly two decades ago.

The CGI, at times, looks worst than the films made 20 years prior, Action scenes are brought down with tons of needless slow-motion and the cast does nothing but feeds into the cheesiness of the film. As a fan of the original films, Just leave it alone. This film does nothing but reminds us that some franchises should just be left alone.… Expand

This movie comes across as an attempt to use the franchise for attention or to simply not leave warner bros in control of making the next sequel which is literally brought up in the movie and I can fully believe would be the actual reasoning behind the making of this sequel, the only way this could have worked is if it was broken up into a mini series for TV and all the different plot points taken and extremely expanded upon like with the animatrix which had some great ideas and didn't require neo or trinity and still added alot of lore and thought to the overall world, the cinematoraphy, the soundtrack, the fight scenes, even the majority of the dialogue is just so subpar and I notice the positive reviews focus on this power couple aspect, but that was already established all this does is reasserts that again with a dreary plot and so much fan service it almost offends the senses even to those that love it, many of them comparing spiderman to this as if for some reason they cannot understand that spiderman did not take an unsteady boot to it's franchise and delivered on what fans would have liked to see while still surprising them, the matrix gives the beloved fans of it's franchise nothing they wanted and every surprise is more of question of why? why would you make this? why not create a new movie to explore what you wanted to say because this was just not it at all.… Expand
