Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe teaser site WhatisTheMatrix.com came back online on October with the returning Choose Your Reality section where visitors chose either the Red or Blue pills and they would be treated to a unique teaser for The Matrix Resurrections, it also featured exactly 2,880 unique variations of dialogue for both versions because the teaser would detect your time and then read it out mid-teaser.
- GoofsExactly at the 30:16 mark, Trinity's reflection is seen on the glass table she and Neo are having coffee over. This is a completely different person, Trinity's DSI, to show the viewers how Neo sees Trinity and how she really looks to everyone else, a subtle proof Trinity's digital self image has also been altered by the system.
After realizing this, the story Trinity tells Neo about her telling her husband Chad she looks like Trinity, and her husband subsequently laughing about it makes perfect sense as her DSI looks completely different.
- Quotes

Written by Don Davis
This series sadly has been one of deminishing returns, and I was hoping that this 4th entry would break that decline... but sadly it does not. The most annoying thing is that the plot works... I can completely get behind the idea of the old matrix being a video game inside the new matrix. However, an utter slew of problems just drag the film down into a large pit of mediocrity despite this. The first problem is that aside from Neo and Trinity, the rest of the characters are 100% forgettable, including Morpheus (who is a new actor). Then there's the action, which is lukewarm at best. I get that Keanu is older now and perhaps would struggle with the high-octane stuff... but it looks like he isn't even trying half the time.
But by far the biggest problem, is that the film 100% focuses on the love story between the leads and everything else is half baked. I get that it was important in the original trilogy, but even then it was just one aspect of a larger story. This film drives and drives the Neo loves Trinity plot point so much it begins to irritate, and since you obviously know they will fly off into the sunset together, the whole film just feels like its going through the motions.
Overall this feels like a wasted opportunity to resurrect (sorry) this franchise and if you skip it you will miss precisely nothing. Disappointing...
