The Matrix: Resurrections
To find out if his reality is a physical or mental construct, Mr. Anderson, aka Neo, will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more. However, the matrix has grown stronger, more adept, and more secure than the world bank.
Lana Wachowski returns with another banger to one of the most iconic movies of the 2000s, “The Matrix Resurrections” which is more of a means to an end for those who were curious about the events after Neo had fought with the machines.
So most of our questions had been answered by the end of the film, firstly that Neo had lost to the machines after the third installment but not all was as bad and hopeless as we may have thought. Some machines decided to join the humans and coexist with one another, whilst most stopped attacking the human cities.
Real humans are thriving now, peace has been restored and even fruits are possible to grow with the coexistence of both parties working together but at the cost of two very important lives.
Neo and Trinity were captured after the battle at the Machine City (01) and the machines found something interesting when bringing together Neo and Trinity within proximity of each other and as such, they decided to use them to improve their matrix system.
I sincerely enjoyed this film because it answered a very important question regarding Neo that I had been questioning for quite some time. Neo has been constantly regarded as “The One” throughout the Matrix trilogy yet Neo always had someone that gave him the strength, the courage to push forward and that person is Trinity.
Neo was never The One on his own but one piece of The One and together with Trinity they become The One. I loved seeing the end pay tribute to the first film where on the rooftop Trinity is ambushed by the Agents of the Matrix, I’d go so far even to say it’s the same building.
The new cast is exceptional, you got to give credit where it’s due with Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Morpheus, Jessica Henwick as Bugs, and the main antagonist of the film, Neil Patrick Harris as The Analyst. Each played their roles remarkably. Agent Smith’s much younger look yet oozing that psychotic calmness is a clear reminder to our favorite agent.
This film deserves more credit than it’s given by its haters. I recommend watching it whenever, wherever with whoever.
