The Matrix Resurrections (2021)


Director: Lana Wachowski. Cast: Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Neil Patrick Harris, Jada Pinkett Smith, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Christina Ricci, Lambert Wilson. 148 min. Sci-fi/Action.

  • Instead of "Resurrections", this should have been titled "Extinctions". It's a horrible movie, which makes you think who in their right mind thought this was a good idea.
  • The regurgitation of the prior trilogy's best hits (with desperate inserts from those movies ... a phenomenon not even dared by Star Wars Episode IX!), with a garbled confusing story-line, grotesque characterizations (Agent Smith is now a fun-loving boy, the French noble is now a mad bum) and overlong screen time, nails the coffin on this (dead) 20-year-old franchise.
  • We now know that Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving (Morpheus and Agent Smith from the old trilogy) and Lilly Wachowski, are smarter than Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Ann Moss, and Lana Wachowski. There can be many reasons for their absence here, but to me ... they just stayed away.
  • Will possibly end up as my worst movie of 2021.
