‘Matrix resurrections’: expected return of the chosen one 18 years later

The Matrix is ​​popular, its producers know very well why it works and they understand why it has so many followers, so many that they turned the saga into a cult one. Matrix Resurrections -which can already be seen in Ecuador- maintains all the style of the first installment: the slow motion, the score and paradoxes. Director Lana Wachowski – this time without her sister Lilly – and Warner Bros dismantle all elements of the saga. This fourth installment makes a lot of references to its predecessors in much of the film.

As in the previous ones, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprise their rolesBut there are also new characters and also different actors playing old roles. In this proposal, Lana Wachowski decided to return to action and wanted it to be through the front door after 22 years after its premiere in the cinema. Admittedly, the Wachowski sisters franchise managed to continue its story with a fourth feature film that will not disappoint its army of fans.

The story goes like this: 60 years have passed since the sacrifice of both characters -Neo and Trinity- in the third part of the saga, but somehow both reappear in the plot, a proposal in which meta references and vocation prevail. of romantic history. Let us remember that the genesis of this film comes from the mourning of its director over the death of her parents and some friends. This led her to think about possible scenarios for the “resurrection” of her two characters Neo and Trinity. There are a couple of unexpected cameos. At certain moments in the film, the seriousness disappears and the explanations are almost useless so the philosophical talks and the philosophical talks are left behind. Matrix resurrecciones provides a show, although the latter has divided critics on social media.

Some have pointed out that “the sequel does a lot to reinvent the long-running franchise and, at the same time, manages to be moving, heartfelt and visually stunning.” Others wonder if some wild changes “may not have paid off in certain cases.”

The film also draws attention to fashion stylization It was so iconic from the start, but with an update. Morpheus in particular goes wildly technicolor.

Also gone is the emerald and black Oz-like color scheme that defined the world of computing. Instead, Lana Wachowski’s tape retains a certain vibrant look of Cloud Atlas Y Sense8.

Characters

Keanu Reeves: Thomas Anderson / Neo is now a citizen of San Francisco, has a new job, but lives with a lot of confusion around the facts that he has daily in his reality. It is through the appearance of a handful of characters that he again has the possibility to take the red pill or the blue pill. “It’s time to fly,” says Morpheus, now played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

Carrie-Anne Moss: For her performance, Tiffany / Trinity is engulfed in adrenaline-pumping scenes and fireworks that many will easily recognize. He also has his intimate moments with Neo. Perhaps, the chemistry of this couple is part of the best passages of the film.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II: Now he takes on the role of the remembered Laurence Fishburne, in his character Morpheus. Yahya adds some humorous touches, but without spoiling the character. In addition, he puts his own signature on a younger version of the same character. Nostalgic people will continue to miss Fishburne, but don’t be disappointed as he “appears” in the film, but is not part of the cast.

Jessica Henwick: Bugs, the one with blue hair and a tattoo of the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland. He is the character who insists on contacting Thomas Anderson after a revelation. She admires Neo.

Jonathan Groff: Agent Smith, partner of Thomas Anderson and also Neo’s nemesis. This time his character is a version that exists under the logic of the new film, but lacks the memorable seriousness of Hugo Weaving’s relentless performance.

Neil Patrick Harris: He plays the therapist of Thomas Anderson, who has him medicated and gives him support so that he can better distinguish what appears in his dreams and what they have in reality. Like Bugs, The Analyst is a new character created by Lana Wachowski especially for this fourth installment.
