As a sequel to a classic science fiction film restarted 22 years later, “The Matrix Resurrections” is finally released!
The difference in this restart is that “The Matrix Resurrections” is not only shown in movie theaters, but also online simultaneously on streaming media.
The first wave of word-of-mouth “The Matrix Resurrections” has been released: not too surprisingly, the word-of-mouth of “The Matrix 4” is quite polarized.
Those who liked it scored 100 points and praised it was another milestone; those who did not like it were very disappointed, scored low points, or even 0 points, and thought that this was just a remake of the first “The Matrix”.
“The Matrix Resurrections” is the real finale this year.
For many viewers, the “The Matrix” series, which was launched in 1999, has already surpassed a simple science fiction movie.

It contains science, religion, philosophy, semiotics… it has made people more interested in exploring it, and it seems that it is an outdated work of God.
It is incredible that “The Matrix Resurrections” can restart shooting in 22 years. Coupled with the original cast, Keanu Reeves returns to play Neo and Carrie-Anne Moss returns to play Trinity, which makes movie fans feel like a dream.
Therefore, in fact, the feelings themselves have magnified the expectations for “The Matrix Resurrections”, which has also led to such a common bipolar word-of-mouth psychology.
Like it: what you sell is feelings!
Dislike it: the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
To be objective, take a look at the current scores of three overseas film scoring websites “The Matrix Resurrections”: Rotten Tomatoes 69% freshness (representing professional film critics), IMDB 6.6 points, MTC professional film critics 65 points (100 points system), The audience scored 5.7 points (10 points system).
The above performance just shows that the word-of-mouth of “The Matrix Resurrections” is very polarized, which leads to basically staying near the passing line after the score is neutralized.
——-Friendly reminder: The following content involves some spoilers, enter with caution! ——-
First of all, movie fans have very different opinions on the evaluation of “The Matrix Resurrections”.
Criticism is mainly focused on critics’ belief that “The Matrix Resurrections” is just a remake of “The Matrix 1.”
In addition, the audience made complaints about the action scene, thinking that the film was a hodgepodge, and that it was the director who slapped the face himself.
This kind of polarized comment is not only reflected in ordinary audiences, but also in professional film critics.
Critics of “The Seattle Times” and “San Francisco Chronicle” both gave “The Matrix Resurrections” a perfect score of 100 points.
But film critics on CNN and “New York Post” gave ultra-low scores of 30 and 25 respectively.
The headline of the CNN film critic who scored 30 points is: “The Matrix Resurrection” takes the red pill, but works more like a sleeping pill.
He believes that “The core of “The Matrix” has always been based on its grand love story, and the faith of the Trinity (with the help of prophecies) helped Neo to accept his destiny. Although this still exists, this new film is so chaotic, then , What is left? Stylized movements, stunts and appearances. Although there are some visually eye-catching moments, these are offset by the inexplicable part, like a large-scale close-range battle that makes people It is difficult to distinguish who is doing what to whom, so the excitement is reduced.”
The critics of “The Hollywood Reporter” gave it 70 points. He commented that “This is the most wanted sequel in Hollywood-almost the same as the first one, but with enough novelty to prove its existence.”
“Regardless of what happened when Neo seemed to sacrifice himself at the end of the third film, he is now back in the virtual digital world, living again as the 20-year-old Thomas Anderson.
Anderson is a successful video game designer, and his greatest creation is (getting this) a trilogy of popular games called The Matrix.
Part of Anderson’s personality knows that these games are stories of his real life. But he often went to see a psychiatrist who did not want to be named. He gave him medicine (blue pill) and helped him resolve violent incidents.
In these events, he believes that the whole world is a virtual reality from which he needs to escape.
Anderson did not completely give up the fight against The Matrix-he wrote some code in which artificial intelligence roles played different roles in scenarios where he couldn’t stop thinking-but professionally speaking, this is his distant past.
Saving the Trinity became the sole focus of this movie. As the mission progressed, we pieced together the way Wachowski reimagined some of the characters in the original “The Matrix” trilogy. Most of these reimaginings made sense. “
“The Seattle Times” film critic Soren Andersen, who scored 100 points, gave a very high evaluation of the film. The title is: “The Matrix Resurrections” Comment: Lana Wachowski cleverly re-deconstructed the original.
He believes, “So far, the first “The Matrix” movie is the best. In 1999, it redefines sci-fi film production, and the two sequels released in 2003 did not really meet the standard. They just extended and enlarged the original. , But it did not reach the height of the first world-breaking.
“The Matrix Resurrections” is essentially a grand love story between the male and female protagonists.
With the development of the story, the two people began to painfully and slowly try to remember, and then rekindle their once great love.
What is reality? It is the key question in The Matrix. “
The film critic Mick LaSalle of “San Francisco Chronicle” also scored 100 points. The title of his film review was “Forget about understanding “The Matrix Resueeections” –just enjoy it.”
He believes that if you want to really understand what happened in “The Matrix Resurrections”, you need to watch the first three “The Matrix” series of movies in advance. “But even so, it may be difficult for you to concentrate.”
“It’s more likely that “The Matrix Resurrections” is a modern “Alice in Wonderland” that operates with dream logic, and even its creators don’t even know its exact meaning.
This movie takes advantage of our common paranoia that nothing is real, but it is also our desire for a less real world.
Because it can open the door of the broom closet and enter the hotel room in Paris, overlooking the Eiffel Tower.
Or let a mirror become transparent, forming a door to a new world.
Or just sit on the recliner and think about it and defeat an annoying enemy.
This is the charm of multiple reality.
In the end, it is the ideas that play a role in “The Matrix Resurrections” that makes us sit in our seats contentedly for more than two hours, not actions. “
It is worth mentioning that although he scored full marks, he still made some minor criticisms of the action scenes of the film.
He believes that “The Matrix 4, like all the movies in this series, has too many fighting scenes, giving people the feeling of deliberately lengthening the movie.”
However, the more polarized the reputation of the movie, the more it is necessary to see it by yourself, and all other people’s viewing experience can only be used as a reference.
For “The Matrix Resurrections”, you might as well look at it in a way to open the layout.
And to say the most powerful part of “The Matrix Resurrections”, you can borrow the words of a professional film critic: “22 years later, I am still thinking about “The Matrix”…”
Do you like the previous “The Matrix” trilogy? Will you go to see this “The Matrix Resurrections”?
