Leave your thoughts about The Matrix Resurrections.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleIn the end, it’s the ideas at work in The Matrix Resurrections, much more than the action, that keep us contentedly in our seats for well over two hours. |
| The Seattle TimesSoren AndersenWachowski has taken the familiar and modified it in such a way to make it seem new. It’s a brilliant act of transformation. |
| The AtlanticDavid SimsWachowski’s gamble is that viewers will enjoy a film that’s heavy on philosophizing and introspection as long as it retains the emotional, romantic hook that powered the first movie. Reeves and Moss sell their reunion as Neo and Trinity persuasively, glowing with the overwhelming chemistry and affection that Wachowski needed to push the film beyond cynicism. |
| PolygonJoshua RiveraIt’s an agitprop romance, one of the most effective mass media diagnoses of the current moment that finds countless things to be angry about, and proposes fighting them all with radical, reckless love. On top of all that, it is also a kick-ass work of sci-fi action — propulsive, gorgeous, and yet still intimate — that revisits the familiar to show audiences something very new. |
| Little White LiesLillian CrawfordReeves and Moss are magnificent at resurrecting Neo and Trinity, and they blend exquisitely into Lana Wachowski’s matured style of filmmaking. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzA weird, hilarious, romantic, messy, violent and upsetting manic spectacle, Lana Wachowski’s sequel-reboot-remake encapsulates every emotion of this supremely messed up year. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichIf Spider-Man: No Way Home is the poison, this is its antidote. |
| Slant MagazineKeith UhlichWhere the love story was a means-to-an-end afterthought in the first Matrix, it’s now the crux of the tale, and the emotional undercurrents are so intoxicating that it more than makes up for the relative inelegance of the action scenes. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Angelica Jade BastienThe Matrix Resurrections might lack the ground-shaking originality of its 1999 predecessor, but it manages to chart a stunning, divergent path, philosophically and cinematically. |
| Rolling StoneK. Austin CollinsI was moved, impressed — far more than I expected to be. The emotional engineering of The Matrix Resurrections is exacting and rapturous. |
