Our take on The Matrix Resurrections

Lana Wachowski returns to the world she and her sister built, following a Neo haunted by strange memories until his life shifts and he finds himself back inside the Matrix. This 2021 sci-fi action film is as interested in reflection as in spectacle, folding its own legacy into the story and asking what it means to revisit something you thought was finished. Expect kinetic set pieces alongside a more melancholy, self-aware tone. It suits viewers already invested in the saga and curious to see it reopened rather than newcomers looking for a clean entry point. Best approached as a meditation on memory and reinvention dressed in familiar leather and gunfire.
