In under five minutes, Lana Wachowski and Co. Gruttadaro: The “What’s The Matrix about?” scene. It wasn’t as good as the OG, but hey, Neo still knows kung fu. Lara: I actually really liked the Morpheus-Neo fight scene. Anderson rebooted as a successful video game developer going through life.īaker: The best moment of the film was afterward, when I went straight to YouTube for a dose of very patient videos explaining to me what I just saw and I learned that the guy who plays Chad is (a) Keanu’s stunt double from the very first Matrix (b) is the director of all four Johns Wick and (c) is named Chad.

Ramgopal: The more subtle stuff with Neo at the beginning of the movie is at least chaotic and somewhat interesting.
Lindbergh: Exactly what we all expected it to be: a montage set to “White Rabbit” in which game designers debate the essence and meaning of The Matrix as an executive played by Christina Ricci presents focus-grouped keyword associations with the Matrix brand, highlighted by the delicious line, “The top two being ‘originality’ and ‘fresh,’ which I think are great things to keep in mind as you begin working on Matrix 4.” (The “ Matrix is …” brainstorming montage is absolutely brilliant.) This is maybe the most meta moment in an established franchise since Wes Craven made Freddy Krueger a fictional movie villain who invades the real world to terrorize the cast of A Nightmare on Elm Street in New Nightmare. Surrey: The opening half-hour with Thomas Anderson as a video game designer being forced by Warner Bros. ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ Is the Anti-sequel Sequel 2.

Miles Surrey : Resurrections boldly takes the mantle from The Last Jedi as a blockbuster more interested in interrogating its franchise’s legacy than in giving fans a rush of nostalgia. Katie Baker : A meet-cute in a coffee shop named Simulatte? This movie is a rom-com.ĭavid Lara : Imagine if they redid the original Matrix but couldn’t get Laurence Fishburne.Īrjuna Ramgopal: A sad reminder that sometimes it’s best to leave a franchise dormant instead of resurrecting it. What is your tweet-length review of Matrix Resurrections?Īndrew Gruttadaro : The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced this is one of the smartest movies, if not the smartest movie, I’ll see in 2021. There is much to discuss, to say the least.ġ.
Matrix Resurrections isn’t a normal sequel. Are we talking about The Matrix or The Matrix Resurrections, Lana Wachowski’s 2021 sequel to the revolutionary action flick? The fact that you can’t tell is the point. There is no Neo-just a man named Thomas Anderson who’s yet to take his red pill and realize that he’s living in a fabricated world.
