Science fiction themes, action violence and coarse language

From visionary filmmaker Lana Wachowski comes "The Matrix Resurrections," the long-awaited fourth film in the groundbreaking franchise that redefined a genre. The new film reunites original stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss in the iconic roles.

Return to a world of two realities: one, everyday life; the other, what lies behind it. To find out if his reality is a construct, to truly know himself, Mr. Anderson will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more.

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. If he's learned anything, it's that choice, while an illusion, is still the only way out of -- or into -- the Matrix. Neo already knows what he has to do, but what he doesn't yet know is that the Matrix is stronger, more secure and far more dangerous than ever before.

Stars: Keanu Reeves Carrie-Anne Moss Yahya Abdul-Mateen II

Rating:

Even in its turn-of-the-millennium heyday, the multi-film phenomenon known as The Matrix was only ever comprised of zeros and ones.

Now, with a belated fourth instalment coded into the program, all you will see are zeros everywhere.

To put it politely, this utterly baffling and compellingly awful sequel goes mighty close to becoming the worst movie of 2021.

All that is holding The Matrix Resurrections back from total oblivion is the comforting nostalgic rush long-time Matrix fans will feel once they see franchise figureheads Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reunited once more.

While the pair do emerge from the wreckage of Resurrections with their dignity intact, they (and the fans) deserved better than this irksome train wreck.

The action unfolds in the present day where Neo (Reeves), now a game designer, is about to be dragged back into the alternate dimension which still haunts his heavily suppressed memories of the old days.

While we wait for him to fully cross over to the land of dark glasses, long black trench coats and (sigh) "bullet time", Neo keeps accidentally crossing paths with a woman who looks a lot like his long lost gal pal Trinity (Moss).

An interchangeable crew of drab support players are never far away to complete two jobs.

The first is to participate in the movie's many weirdly over-edited combat sequences. The second is to huff and puff their way through longwinded explanations of what is supposedly happening.
