this is a heavy-footed reboot which doesn't offer a compelling reason for its existence other than to gouge a fourth income stream from Matrix fans; This movie is set up to initiate a possible new series, but there is no real creative life in it
teetering between a meta-reckoning with the legacy of the first trilogy and a sincere blooming of a whole new story that feels boldly romantic, Lana Wachowski's first solo feature is a thrilling triumph
miserable "Matrix Resurrections" is the worst sequel so far; it's aimless, vocabulary-filled, talky tedium; The fourth flick looks dollar-store cheap and during the battles, you'll wish you were watching "John Wick" instead
it's the boldest and most personal franchise sequel since "The Last Jedi"; A devastatingly sincere movie about how love is the best weapon we have to make sense of a world that fills our heads with the white noise of war and conflict on a forever loop
it's a do-over without a full share of wonderment, but still a lot of fun; Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reunite for a sequel that's surprisingly romantic
if you loved "The Matrix", go see this one; "Resurrections" leaves plenty of things unexplored. And there's nothing here to inspire hope that, should Warners or whomever insist on more sequels, they'd be worth seeing
even though Laurence Fishburne's absence is a sore spot that's never fully explained, "The Matrix Resurrections" is a breath of fresh air in a time when reboots are a dime a dozen
an ingenious, inventive and era-defining sci-fi movie from 1999 has now, with this latest and long-awaited misfire, produced yet another truly horrible sequel
"The Matrix Resurrections" is a recycling dump of murky effects, indifferent action and a crazily cluttered, relentlessly repetitive narrative. It's Groundhog Day in cyberpunk
"Resurrections" suffers from an identity crisis, going from being supremely fun and knowing to weirdly pedestrian. It's a slippery mish-mash— entertaining in big bursts but ultimately a little hollow
"Resurrections" can't compare to the original film, but it is a lot of fun; The duo [Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss] make sweet romantic music together, and it's satisfying to see them back on the screen
