It is convincing that “Spider Man: No Way Home” should be the largest and only film across the globe on the week when The Matrix Resurrections is released. Both these films are mega budget films with meta sequels that feed on the audience’s collective familiarity in their own respective franchise. One is poison while the other is an antidote. So in this context let us have a look at The Matrix 4 review.
The Matrix: Resurrections Plot
This is the fourth film in this franchise and the Matrix marks the return two decades after it excited the sci-fi arena globally along with a Meta resurrection plot that is relevant and potent. The matrix 4 trailer release date was scheduled for December 6, 2021. Here is The Matrix 4 trailer.
Before we go into The Matrix 4 review, let us have a look at the complete cast of this film.
The Matrix 4 cast include:
- Keanu Reeves as Thomas Anderson / Neo: The prophesied “One” from the last version of the Matrix, Neo has been fixed by the machines and reintegrated into the latest version of the Matrix, with his memory suppressed for keeping him under control. In spite of sixty years having taken place since the sacrifice of Neo, he has only aged twenty years because of the modifications of machines to his body.
- Carrie-Anne Moss as Tiffany / Trinity: Neo’s romantic interest who was released from the Matrix by Morpheus in the initial film, and killed at the end of the Machine War.
- Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Morpheus: An alternate variant of the hacker who released Neo from the Matrix. The role was portrayed by Laurence Fishburne in the last movie
- Abdul-Mateen II also shortly portrays a depiction of Agent Smith inside the modal formed by Neo, which is based upon the suppressed memories of Neo of both the Morpheus and original Smith.

The Matrix 4 Review: How It Went?
Now that the plot and cast are known to you, let us have a look at The Matrix 4 review. Initially, it was the epic reunion in the recent Spiderman franchise and now there is the resurrection of the Matrix. Get the vinyl pants, leather jackets, motorcycle boots, futuristic sunglasses, and bikes back for the Matrix universe here. Need we illustrate more? For filmgoers, last December was loaded with some severe nostalgia. The last time this occurred was two years ago when the Terminator series witnessed the return of Linda Hamilton. Is the Matrix resurrection worth the wait?
Before the Red, green light of Squid Game, there was the red and the blue pill. Life revolves around choices, isn’t it? It has been more than 20 years since the Wachowskis explored the conflict between humans vs AI and left us gloriously tangled in its complicated world of simulated reality. Via Neo (Keanu Reeves), the audience was forced to question their own existence and two lives. In this age and day of super intelligent machines, the Matrix 4 plot becomes all the more appropriate and thought provoking. Lana Wachowski drives Thomas/Neo on a trippy ride once again, where he evaluates himself after losing his control of reality. Only the Wachowski mind can cook a story as complicated and stimulating.
While the visionary visual effects, action choreography offered this film a cult status, they overwhelmed the core idea of the film. This time near, Lana steers the movie in the philosophical area compared to action with Neo-Trinity love at its center. This operates as a double edged sword, as the iconic operation is not as much as you would have liked and that does pinch. Scenes, though in transit, feel terribly long and dreary in parts.
Keanu Reeves provides an impression of self-doubt. You wonder if he is not completely confident about returning to this rage character after two decades. Carrie-Anne Moss is more in synchronization with her role even after all this time.
The Bottom Line
After The Matrix 4 review, it can be concluded that this one is a trippy reboot that is both exhausting and exciting. It also needs the audience to have a background of the series. We recommend you revisit the trilogy before you start to watch this one. The Matrix 4 release date was scheduled on December 22, 2021.
