REVIEW
There is a sense that this film seems consciously aware (like some 'sentient entity') of its own set of problems. There is very much the constant running theme of duality, identity and it's a constant struggle with it. It's a film that wants to be both a meta-comedy short film, on modern reboots and franchise sequels, as well as 'A Matrix movie.' That boat has long sailed, as demonstrated in the previous sequels. Instead, it reaches a comfortable averageness, pit stopping constantly down memory lane, and in doing so, reminds us how you can really never recapture pop culture zeitgeist, only reminding us of 'a simpler time' in the modern cinema-scape. It's an impossible task. There are moments, to be sure, hinting at new concepts of the lore it could explore, that could prove to be interesting, you get the impression there are pressures for a new trilogy again, but the box office numbers seem to indicate it's time to put this franchise to sleep.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.msbreviews.com/movie-reviews/the-matrix-resurrections-spoiler-free-review
“The Matrix Resurrections is one of my biggest disappointments of the year. Lana Wachowski delivers a surprisingly meta, self-aware movie about the original trilogy packed with bold, fascinating ideas but an absolutely terrible execution.
From the dreadfully unfunny, cringe-worthy brainstorming sessions about the previous films to the heavy-handed, headache-inducing exposition, the director constantly tries to tell the viewers how incredible the original trilogy is, forgetting to create a compelling, captivating story for this new installment.
The gorgeous visuals and impactful score aren’t good enough to elevate the shockingly average, choppy action sequences. Despite remarkable performances from Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, and the standout Jessica Henwick, Resurrections just didn’t work for me.
If you’re a fan of the franchise, I obviously recommend watching it. Just be aware that this isn’t a new The Matrix movie, but instead a film about the actual saga.”
