After 18 years, Lana Wachowski returned to direct the fourth sequel to The Matrix, The Matrix resurrections, and we finally know if it was worth the wait. The Matrix Reloaded e The Matrix Revolutions have their fan base, but most agree that neither movie was a satisfying sequel to the 1999 classic. 1s563h
The Origin of the Resurrection 3y4f1n
For years, Warner Bros. dreamed of making another film”Matrix,” but the Wachowski sisters — architects of a cyberpunk classic whose appeal rests largely on bending the rules and questioning authority — resisted the pressure, insisting they had said all they wanted to with the three original films. Let's not forget: at the end of the trilogy, Trinity he died, Neo sacrificed himself and humans were freed from their virtual shackles, meaning that anyone hoping to continue that story had their work cut out for them.
This explains a clever moment of self-awareness at the beginning of the film, in which, in said scene, employees of a San Francisco video game company sit around a corporate conference table, thinking about how to build the Matrix saga. "Our beloved parent company, Warner Bros., has decided that they will make a sequel to the trilogy “with or without” the creators."
Well, if you can't beat them, them, or so director Lana Wachowski seems to be telling us.
Nostalgia 2a654
While Matrix Resurrections isn't perfect, it's a definite step up from the previous two sequels and more worthy of the Matrix name. The film is packed with great performances, extensive nostalgia, and satisfying action. More important, Keanu Reeves e Carrie Anne Moss slip back into their roles so seamlessly you'll have a hard time believing it's been nearly 20 years since they donned the black trench coats.
If you're not a big fan of The Matrix, Matrix Resurrections it's not for you. It's fueled by nostalgia with jokes and comedic moments that never slow down. Jokes include internal calls as well as references to how fans have reacted to the franchise over the years.
If you're wondering if you should rewatch all three original movies, we highly recommend him to catch the jokes. However, as far as the film's plot goes, Wachowski does an excellent job of reminding you of what's important in the previous films, and you should be able to follow along pretty easily without doing your homework.
Parts of Matrix Resurrections are a little confusing, but would it really be a Matrix movie if you got it all the first time? For a movie that needs to explain how its two dead, main characters are alive again while introducing new characters, things are surprisingly clear.
Cast 442r63
The additions of the new Agent Smith and also of Yahya Abdul Mateen II like Morpheus are unexpectedly effective. It never feels like the movie is struggling to justify why Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving aren't playing the roles they originated. While it's hard not to lose his magnetism, each new actor shines in his own way and at the height of his previous performers.
J e Neil Patrick Harris are extremely well scaled. You can't help but wonder if Wachowski purposely picked two Broadway stars with the boisterous talents that give them so much stage presence. Jessica henwick is the perfect embodiment of the new generation Matrix and we can only hope that his career continues to take off.
the return of Jada Pinkett Smith not only is it fun for Niobe fans, but the star's five-hour makeup transformation to make her look older was well worth it. And to my greatest satisfaction, the entire ing cast comes from Lana's previous partnership, with the beautiful cast of Sense8. Honestly it was amazing to see everyone on screen once again.
Conclusion 60664y
At the end of the day, fans come to see The Matrix for some mind-blowing action, and Matrix Resurrections delivery. Nothing will beat the original because it changed the game, but the new effects felt faithful to the 1999 movie without being overdone. Technology has obviously come a long way in the last 20 years, and Wachowski does a great job of utilizing what's available while making it flow with what's come before. Plus, if you love explosions, the final showdown will have you cheering in your seat.
For some people, the biggest attraction of Matrix resurrections it's the return of Reeves and Moss, and their chemistry hasn't diminished in the slightest over the years. Reeves already joked that the movie leans heavily towards their romance, and he wasn't exaggerating. For a large part of the movie, Neo is only homesick for Trinity from afar, and even that will be enough to appease the senders. Innovative action and creative storytelling has always been the crux of what makes Matrix popular, but it's the love between Neo and Trinity that gave the original trilogy its heart and soul.
While Matrix Resurrections has its flaws, it's a great return to a world that has shaped so many movie fans. Wachowski delivers a sequel worthy of the Matrix name that is fun, funny, and romantic.
