The Matrix Resurrections is a 2021 American science fiction action film produced, co-written, and directed by Lana Wachowski. It is the sequel to The Matrix Revolutions (2003) and the fourth installment in the Matrix film franchise. Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Lambert Wilson reprise their roles from the previous films, and they are joined by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick, Jonathan Groff, Neil Patrick Harris, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The film is set sixty years after Revolutions and follows Neo, who lives a seemingly ordinary life as a video game developer having trouble with distinguishing fantasy from reality. A group of rebels, with the help of a programmed version of Morpheus, free Neo from a new version of the Matrix and fight a new enemy that holds Trinity captive.

The Matrix is a good example of franchise that got worse with each film, so much so I didn't even see the newest film. I lost interest in the franchise and felt it was too long a wait for a new film. The negative reviews from various KZfaqrs made me glad I didn't watch it, but I am glad to see Doug finally talk about it.

Fun Fact: When he was first asked if he'd be up for a fourth Matrix movie, Keanu Reeves wanted to do it immediately. But he also admits that he was baffled and had no idea how it would work. He told Lana Wachowski, "but I'm dead," referring to the end of The Matrix Revolutions. However, Reeves also said that he was quickly won over by Wachowski after her pitch and that she wrote a wonderful story. But based on the critical reception and general audiences' feelings on the movie, after seeing the film, everyone is just as perplexed as Reeves was when he first read the script.

@a7000zo Жыл бұрын

I loved Resurrections. To me it works slightly better than Reloaded and is definitely the most insightful installment since the first, even if not everything sticks the landing. If the action was better choreographed I would've loved it even more. I know there's some people that say the choppy editing was also an intentional choice, but too much self awareness can backfire and result in alienated feelings.

No Stunt Double: According to Keanu Reeves, Neo and Trinity's tandem leap from San Francisco's 44 Montgomery Street building, was mostly accomplished without CGI effects. Even though the building is officially 43 stories high, they had to climb a further 2-3 floors to reach the rooftop. The pair made the jump as many as twenty times over a two-day period with body descender cables attached.

One of my main gripes of Resurrections is that it had so many interesting ideas but... didn't want to explore them. Machines fighting machines? Awesome idea! And it... gets all of one or two sentences describing it. Agent Smith (or any program really) gaining their own will and desire to fight the Matrix? Awesome idea! And 'Smith' spends most of his runtime just... fighting Neo. 'Morpheus' also gets massively shafted imo when it comes to actual impact on the movie. Humans actually learning of their past history and how to harvest real food again? Awesome idea- ripe with potential! And then... it's openly insulted by the movie it takes place in. It just feels like there was a lot of potential that nobody actually wanted to tap- all so we could get Neo and Trinity basically replaying the original movie but in a mirror.

@simranbiryani3068 Жыл бұрын

If it had been all about the machine wars it would have been incredible. They could have just set it far in the future with a completely new cast of characters. The Neo/Trinity story was already complete, there was no need to bring these characters back.

@philseven1351 Жыл бұрын

I disagree, Resurrections had many good ideas, but could only explore a few in great detail, such as: -Morpheus being a program created by Neo that gained sentience in the modal simulation. -The Analyst, a new antagonist that manipulates people through emotion and uses their greatest strengths against them such as convincing Neo the life he lived was nothing more than a video game he designed and that he now suffers from mental illness. -The meta commentary and critique of Hollywood, the entertainment industry as a whole, and the NPC social media obsessed consumers that act as mindless drones that can't think for themselves and simply follows trends. Even the idea of bots in the matrix that manipulate real people could be a critique of social media that also uses bots to manipulate people. -The power struggle/politics of the machines to control the matrix and energy production was discussed in the movie, though there wasn't much actions scenes of the actual war, if that was what you were expecting. Resurrections had the difficult and time consuming task of needing to pick up, explain, and continue the characters and 60 year time gap that Revolutions left off at, which leaves very little time to go into deep detail for every concept presented. At the very least Resurrections setup the ground work to further explore those ideas if there were to be any more sequels (which is unlikely). Rogue programs that do not follow the Matrix such as Smith is an idea already established in the original trilogy, they're called exiles like the Merovingian.

The Matrix series never managed to match the first film's "the world is a super-realistic VR simulation" mindfuck twist. They tried to keep things thought-provoking in the sequels with a lot of "fate vs. free will" philosophical themes, but none of it was as shockingly revelatory. The Matrix Resurrections suffers from the same problem Reloaded and Revolutions did, but also makes the mistake of being way too self-aware and self-referential for its own good. And yes, the action scenes are severely, bafflingly subpar for a Matrix film.

And when he plays characters that don't talk much (John Wick for example) his weird line delivery actually works because a man of few words is gonna sound weird when he talks.

Let's face it, the best Matrix movie was Dark City. Also, minor thing on Paul Atreides not bringing peace to Dune is the point.

What would be a great take on the Matrix concept, would be to make the machines the good guys: The machines are programmed to do the most good, for the most people. The Earth is able to support ~10 billion people under current human needs; by putting humanity into a simulated world, they reduce human needs to pure chemical and electricity, and thus can support a population well beyond that limit. The "free people" are substantially draining resources by living outside the simulation, endangering the trillion in the machines' care. The machines have already tried reasoning with them into returning to the simulation, without success, and have had to resort to extreme force overtime.

Honestly, when I first heard they were doing a fourth film and even saw the trailer, I thought they might be doing something similar to Doug's idea of a Matrix-within-a-Matrix (a Matrixception, if you will). I thought the idea of Neo not having fully escaped and instead plopped into another Matrix where they continued to feed off him and reality slowly breaking through might have been interesting. Maybe making him choose what reality to stay in. I haven't actually seen the film yet, this was my first insight into what happened and what it was really about. And I gotta admit, the first third, like you said, seems like the most interesting part. Questioning reality and relating that back to simulations and such. Hell, they maybe could've continued with that theme. Especially with Trinity. Again, haven't watched the scene, but first impressions from here - she chooses somebody she doesn't fully remember yet instead of her family? Or even if she does remembers him, is there any lip service given to those virtual children she had? It might have been cool if Neo was more on the side of 'THE MATRIX IS REAL' and Trinity was the opposite. Perhaps ending without her choosing to stay in the simulation because she was so attached to it and Neo was in and out of realities - nothing is confirmed to be real or not. And it's all down to choice. But then again, didn't the AniMatrix do something similar? Could be they decided to make the Matrix real so they didn't get into too much trouble with the pills idea - 'if you're on medication get rid of it so you can see past reality'. Not a great message to send out, I suppose. Eh, just throwing ideas around (Hollywood, hire me) Anyway, great review as always!

@shmikex Жыл бұрын

It would have been fantastic if they treated this as all being in Neo/Tom's head. What I did like is when they had glimpses on how the people in the Matrix actually view Neo and Trinity and had other actors playing Tom and Tiffany. It even makes sense when they're in the coffee shop and she remarks how she feels she looks exactly like Trinity from the game but everyone else waived it off. It's because they both see her as Trinity but everyone else sees her as Tiffany. I still wish they had just done a John Wick/Matrix crossover, where it gets revealed that the John Wick world is the next iteration of the Matrix they put Neo and Morpheus in. Hence why John Wick is basically unkillable. That was always my fan theory. He felt grief from the loss of his wife (Helen/Trinity) and wanted to live a peaceful existence after his years of killing, until he was provoked.
