Review: ‘Matrix Resurrections’ rewrites its programming

Associated Press  

How deep does the rabbit hole go? Despite two largely disappointing sequels, “The Matrix” still hasn’t quite gone out of style — neither its long leather jackets nor its sci-fi vision of an illusive reality beyond what’s in front of us. So when green lines of code again rain down across the screen in the opening of “The Matrix Resurrections,” it’s a little like a warm bath. This “Matrix” movie isn’t feverish with newness like the innovative original but pulls from a later chapter in life: the midlife malaise of feeling like you took a wrong turn somewhere long ago. But if defying one’s heteronormative programming and entering the Matrix was once a balletic finesse, in “Resurrections” the battle is blunter and the tone less exultant.

‘The Matrix Resurrections’ movie review: Maybe it wasn’t necessary to go down the rabbit hole again?

The Hindu  

My favourite part of The Matrix Resurrections is The Merovingian’s tirade against today’s digital natives. There is the red pill and the blue pill, green lines of code, white rabbit, illusion of choice, and even a black cat called ‘déjà vu’ for goodness sake!

Firstpost  

Language: English “The body cannot live without the mind” — Morpheus, The Matrix The Wachowskis created something incredibly iconic with The Matrix. There was not anything like that until then, and even the subsequent The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions tied in the storylines neatly — conflicting viewpoints on this, obviously — leaving us with a clear possibility of …

ABC  

The Matrix wasn't the first text to suggest that human life might be all, like, one big computer simulation, maaaaan, but its clever synthesis of high-concept sci-fi, martial arts and questionable sunglasses landed with some serendipitous timing. Resurrections has a fantastic first act: a high-wire piece of storytelling bravado that sees Wachowski and her co-writers David Mitchell and Aleksandar Hemon …

Imagine this reviewer sitting across from you, stretching out her hand to offer the either-or choice that ensnared the imaginations of millions over the past 22 years. What can be said is that the film is more successful in some of its aims than others, and feels more essential than 2003's one-two punch of "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix …
