The Matrix Resurrections | Reviews
It’s really good, it's outrageously bananas, it's a wildly literal commentary on sequels, reboots and more - with absolutely compelling roles for Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss.

The Globe and Mail
A weird, hilarious, romantic, messy, violent and upsetting manic spectacle, Lana Wachowski’s sequel-reboot-remake encapsulates every emotion of this supremely messed up year.

Too tortured, too inconsistent, to offer a cohesive experience, much less an enjoyable one.

The Guardian
Where the original film was explosively innovatory, this is just another piece of IP...

Independent
It happily revisits and remixes all the familiar elements in ways that seem more attuned to the needs of characters than to the demands of spectacle.

If you loved The Matrix and hated the sequels (or simply found them unsatisfying), go see this one. Have a blast.

Roger Ebert
A reboot with some striking philosophical flourishes... but... also the weakest and most compromised Matrix film yet.

Entertainment Weekly
It's a do-over without a full share of wonderment, but still a lot of fun.

Bloody Disgusting
A modern update that builds on its legacy with surprising and often funny tenderness.

The Matrix Resurrections is really good – and it’s also outrageously bananas
Wildly literal commentary on sequels and reboots is more weird, more self-aware, more fun.
