The Matrix Resurrections Reviews

A sophisticated, compelling addition to the series.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 19, 2024

With its unique story that is meta and heartfelt and tons of action, The Matrix Resurrections is the best film in the series since the original

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 29, 2024

If “The Matrix Resurrections” works, the goal is simple. We want Anderson/Neo to emerge from his funk, to find love, to be happy inside or outside the Matrix. We do not need him to be a savior for humanity. By saving himself, he saves us.

A sleek, meta, & complex return to this franchise makes for an ALMOST Perfect sequel even if it’s second half could of been stronger

Lana Wachowski delivers a surprisingly meta, self-aware movie about the original trilogy packed with bold, fascinating ideas but an absolutely terrible execution.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 25, 2023

The Matrix Resurrections can be merited for its attempt to honor its predecessors, even if it becomes distracted by trying to please its parent studio.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 23, 2023

I especially love the costuming in the film. This isn’t a standard legacy-quel, and it’s all the better because of that.

Out of everyone in Resurrections, my two favorite characters are Jessica Henwick as Bugs and Jonathan Groff as Smith. They give the best performances in the movie, though the whole cast is strong, and they offer us something fresh within the Matrix lore.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 30, 2022

"Resurrections is a film that argues against its own existence while bringing new weight to a universe that has captivated audiences for two decades."

Never mind blue pills and red pills. The bitterest pill to swallow is the fact that The Matrix Resurrections is okay but it is not The One.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 12, 2022

At best, The Matrix Resurrections comes off as a bad parody. At worst, it ruins The Matrix films that came before. I hated every single second of it.

| Sep 18, 2022

The ways in which it was commenting on itself and how the world has evolved since the last film came out, and the state of entertainment, and the world, and politics... I felt like I was on the same page and that made this an enjoyable viewing for me.

| Sep 11, 2022

A high octane, nostalgic thrill ride with a little bit too much self awareness and an unnecessarily convoluted (even by Matrix standards) plot.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 22, 2022

“Resurrections” is a slog, overburdened by endless exposition and lacking anything that feels remotely fresh.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 16, 2022

Daring, evolve[s] its franchise while mining nostalgia with care and savvy, and make[s] the utmost of its biggest strengths — Reeves and Moss, clearly, who could melt faces with their chemistry.

... Distills brilliance and intelligence. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jun 28, 2022

An uneven film that starts out unprejudiced and self-referential, comfortably and happily winking at the first three films of this saga, but then gets stuck in and endless loop trying to explain the unexplainable. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jun 17, 2022

There's no denying the aspiration to create a story that revels in both provocative themes and thrilling large-scale entertainment.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 5, 2022

The Matrix Resurrections evolves the original trilogy's anti-capitalist metaphor and places it front and center for all to see, ensuring that no one can look away from it's message that only community and resistance can save the day.

| May 30, 2022

A tetralogy was not achieved. The Trilogy remains intact.
