The Matrix Resurrections
Rent & Buy
Plagued by strange memories, Neo's life takes an unexpected turn when he finds himself back inside the Matrix.
What critics thought
Resurrections landed as one of the most divisive blockbusters in recent memory: supporters found Wachowski's self-aware, emotionally sincere approach a worthwhile reinvention, while detractors saw a film creatively hollowed out by franchise obligation and excessive self-referentiality. Audience reception landed even colder than the critics, suggesting the film's meta-commentary played better in theory than in the multiplex.
“Wachowski brings this unapologetic earnestness and sense of pleasure to The Matrix Resurrections, which is also a welcome reminder that big action films can be well lit, stunningly designed and, yes, colorful too.”
Katie Walsh·Los Angeles Times
“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.”
Matt Singer·ScreenCrush
“Really, Resurrections doesn't do much to remove the anticlimax that hung like a cloud over the cinema auditorium at the end of the third film in 2003. This movie is set up to initiate a possible new series, but there is no real creative life in it. Where the original film was explosively innovatory, this is just another piece of IP, an algorithm of unoriginality.”
The Guardian
“The Matrix Resurrections is a bunch of really good ideas stacked together to make a bad – and sometimes ugly – film.”
