The Matrix Resurrections Ratings & Reviews
- Nathan MagretaJuly 23, 2025This was a solid rebirth type movie to such an amazing franchise.
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 17, 2024What is there to say here? It's a very obvious joke on the franchise, which was forced to get more sequels. So, it's not exactly the point to call this movie good or bad, when the whole point was to ruin the franchise. If you are curious, just go in watching this for the joke that it is. However, I'd argue that would be pointless too, because even then it's a pretty miserable watch.
- Brad.Plex.January 8, 2025I think there's actually a good chance this movie was made intentionally to ruin the franchise.
- showson1July 20, 2025I am a huge fan of the original matrix. I saw it at least 10 times in the theater and countless times since then. I know some people don’t like this installment, in the series, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had much more of that classic matrix feel, than matrix two or three did, and I enjoy it from start to finish every time I watch it.
- Andrew CloutJuly 4, 2025Hurts watching this after the most masterful of trilogy’s. Should be deleted and forgotten about.
- Michael SurberMay 12, 2025I rewatch this movie frequently. I loved all three of the original Matrix films and this is a fitting afterward in my opinion. It's not perfect but I still think it's a brilliant film. Loved getting to see Tiffany break free from Chad probably the best, lol. Great in 4k quality along with a dynamite soundtrack to go with. It gets better every time I watch it.
- grantssMay 31, 2025Unnecessary, convoluted, nonsensical mess. Despite being wholly unnecessary – the original trilogy ended 18 years earlier and ended badly – this film initially had some potential. The Matrix-within-the Matrix concept was interesting. Most of all it seemed like Lana Wachowski was going back to what made the original Matrix so brilliant and the next two films at best okay: clever, original concept and engaging plot development rather than mindless action scenes. So much for that. The plot quickly becomes too convoluted for its own good and soon doesn’t make any sense. The film also reverts back to what made Revolutions so weak – action scenes for the sake of action scenes, all so perfectly choreographed and repetitive they become very tedious, very quickly. Dialogue is laughable at times, to the point that you can sense the actors losing interest in their lines! On that note Keanu Reeves seems to be phoning it in and the remaining cast aren’t much better. Avoid.
- Darren WebsterApril 7, 2025I've been a fan of the Matrix since watching the first one in 1999. Being a gamer and going into technology, the tech noire behind it dragged me in, the philosophy of it kept me rewatching and analyzing. Digging at the strings of what was really going on behind all the flash and pazazz of the first films. Now to say Resurrections is bad is disengenious, because it isn't necessarily bad. It is at first. I remember watching this during the pandemic and thinking "what a stupid piece of fan service hot garbage." Then I watched it again. I started picking up on something the film, very honestly, just flat out tells you. WAKE UP. Resurrections does what the first films never did. It told you flat out, on the nose, in your face that we live in a prison already. It literally tells you this and spells it out for you. There's no hiding behind the curtain because it burns the curtain down. See, everyone remembers the first 3 films for ground breaking special effects and amazing set pieces and a good vs evil, underdog coming up story. But what most forget, or just flat out didn't grab on to was the message it was trying to tell you. Resurrections gives you all that special effects and mostly awesome set pieces, the good vs evil story just like it's predecessors. But what Resurrectiosn does better than the first 3 films is what they had originally wanted to do in the first place, namely, expose the lies and the trap we're all in. It's almost ironic that to tell us that we're all in a prison that it had to tell it through a medium and a piece of technology directly tied to it. It's funny that The Analyst explains out exactly how we're manipulated today to feel certain ways and why it's essenbtial for controlling the population, even though for him it's about more BTU's from the copper-tops. Is some of it a bit... Silly? Most certainly. Replacing Mr Smith with a guy that looks like he belongs on the set of Bay Watch was silly and while I love Neil to death, he's just not that great of a villain. The shrink's the bad guy... Yeah... I'm really scared. The "real" world Morpheus, likely cause Fishbourne was like "naw fam, I don't need a paycheck" is pretty pathetic, don't get me wrong, Mateen did his best and there were a number of occassions where he nearly nailed it, but he's just not Fishbourne. Smith's return was just a crotchety shadow of her character and her reaction and treatment of Neo doesn't make sense. Some of the "friendly machine" designs were absolutely out of place, like something you'd see in an anime, not in a Matrix film. I will say this though, I really, really liked Bugs. She's a GREAT addition to the world and Henwick did a bang on job. Okay, last part, soundtrack. It passes muster. Barely. There's some really nice throwbacks to the original soundtrack. I especially liked the easy listening version of Clubbed to Death. But unlike the original films, the soundtrack here is mostly forgettable. Maybe it was a budget thing. One thing I really missed was the different camera treatments that you got in the predecesors. The slight tinting towards green while in the Matrix and a good use of film grain to push the idea that you were inside the simulation. Back in the real world it was all blue and cold feeling, lonesome even, bleak, desperation. This one was missin those sybtle bits of cinematography which is a real shame. Overall, it's not bad once you've watched it a few times and looked past the fake paint job that is plastered all over it and really try and see the message it's trying to tell you.
- MamboNumber5January 15, 2025This movie was pretty ass but the first half was super intriguing and the movie is shot beautifully. The meta commentary on WB as a studio is fairly clever
- Eric BakkeOctober 12, 2024An unnecessary sequel that might have been better for Warner Bros to stay away from, yet it still manages to be an entertaining watch, exploring intriguing themes along the way.
