In December 2021, the Matrix saga returned to the cinema, 18 years after the last installment, revolutions. This surprise sequel, titled Resurrection, was directed by Lana Wachowski solo. Indeed, Lily refused to participate in the adventure, believing that the original trilogy had come full circle.
“I didn’t want to go back to something from the past, to find a path that I had already explored. It didn’t satisfy me emotionally. It was like putting on old shoes, I didn’t want that.”– Lily Wachowski confided at the press conference.
Matrix Resurrections, still starring Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss as Neo and Trinity, takes us back to two parallel realities, our everyday lives and the world hidden there. To know for sure whether his reality is a physical or a mental construct, and to truly know himself, Mr. Anderson will have to follow the white rabbit again.
And if Thomas…Neo…has learned anything, it’s that such a decision, however illusory, is the only way to escape the Matrix – or enter it… Of course, Neo already knows what remains. done What he doesn’t know is that the Matrix is stronger, safer, and more powerful than ever. Like a sense of deja vu…
Bring the Matrix to life!
18 years after the end of the saga, the resurrection of the Matrix unfortunately did not achieve the expected success. The feature film grossed just $157 million at the worldwide box office against a hefty budget estimated at $190 million. The community has been massively shying away from this 4th installment, but it’s been rehabilitated more and more over time, and it definitely deserves a second chance at streaming!
With the recent rise of artificial intelligence, The Matrix 4 has a new level of reading, following the line of sight of previous episodes. However, it really stands out from the trilogy with its original, melancholic and affecting sides. It’s a new matrix that we’re seeing on screen, different from what we’ve known, and that’s definitely one of the reasons why the public is paying attention to the film.
This new matrix is dominated not by green, but by a splash of color, the opposite of the original trilogy. “The dominant color of the matrix was green because old computers displayed green text on a black background. So the matrix was green”explained director Daniel Masachesi in the premiere columns.

Battles and philosophy, let’s go!
However, the philosophical dimension of the Matrix saga is definitely there, as are the battles, which are still impressive. Keanu Reeves, Lana Wachowski and their team of Thomas Anderson/Neo’s martial arts style was radically different from John Wick’s. Indeed, this action franchise clings to the skin of Keanu Reeves, and a clear distinction was definitely needed.
“I have the opportunity to work again Tiger Chen Hu – I have already collaborated with him for the trilogy. It was interesting for him to study so many different styles (laughs). I also have the opportunity to work Eric Brown Who Trained Me on John Wick”Keanu Reeves explains.
“It was great to have a Western and Eastern approach and use their experience and coaching to allow me to play the fights. If I had to sum it up, I’d say it’s a rough but rough style. And sweet.”The actor points. In addition, the film is also worth its new characters, especially Neil Patrick Harris as a delicious bad guy, Jonathan Groff as Agent Smith and Jessica Henwick as Bugs, the strong hero.
So it’s time to take the red pill and get back into The Matrix on Netflix!
