Dec 21, 2021 · A reboot of the Matrix franchise with philosophical flourishes and grandiose set-pieces, but also a convoluted clip show and a weakest and most compromised film yet. The film follows Thomas, a video game programmer who returns to the Matrix and reunites with his love interest Trinity, while Neo and Bugs face new challenges.

This is a spoiler-free review of The Matrix Resurrections, which hits theaters and HBO Max Dec. 22.
Nostalgia naysayers are often quick to trash remakes, reboots, or long-lead sequels. They call them blatant cash grabs or cheap tentpole vehicles solely meant to play into decades-old excitement. Statements like those can be easy to dismiss but, unfortunately, fans who were skeptical of another Matrix sequel are proven right when it comes to The Matrix Resurrections.
There are good parts, of course. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss returning as Neo and Trinity is a dream come true, and the new players make delightful additions to the cast. Jonathan Groff eats up every scene he’s in as Smith, and Jessica Henwick’s Bugs might actually be the best part of Resurrections. And the weird version of Morpheus portrayed here probably wouldn’t even begin to work if it were anyone other than Yahya Abdul-Mateen II in the cartoonish suits.
In fact, I’d go so far as to say that The Matrix Resurrections is made up almost entirely of good ideas. The problem is that it’s not a good movie. It’s a bunch of individually neat ideas stacked in a trench coat like a bunch of kids trying to buy a ticket to an R-rated film. Cleverness is met with laughably bad execution at nearly every turn here.
This attempt at “deep” meta commentary seems to come at the expense of the fight scenes — something that the franchise was, up to this point, known for. We know Reeves still has the chops given the impressive fight choreography of the John Wick franchise, and all of the new players added in Resurrections have proven on-screen fight abilities. Why, ...

The Matrix Resurrections is the kind of film that will go down in cult history because it is so laughably bad. Truthfully, I can’t even say it’s unenjoyable because I spent so much of its overly long runtime giggling over how jaw-droppingly misguided the majority of it is. And, even with how rough it is, folks looking for that nostalgia will get ex...

The Matrix Resurrections is a bunch of really good ideas stacked together to make a bad — and sometimes ugly — film.
