The matrix is a watch experience that I will never forget. It was the first R-rated film that I had to see in the cinema. I was twelve years old when it came out in March 1999, and my grandmother took me to see it. None of us knew what we were facing, but I was fascinated (and sometimes fear) with what I saw in the theater. A striking and unique film that combines science fiction, action and philosophical dilemma into almost perfect entertainment. That’s art. And Wachowski’s siblings have tried to imitate it since then, with various levels of success. The resurrection is the best of the sequel. So far. However, it still feels unnecessary and fails to do enough to guarantee a return visit. The universe matrix.
The resurrection does its best to make a story that is quite different to justify its existence. However, it was afraid to deviate too far from the original trilogy, very dependent on flashbacks and exposition. With desperately trying to remind the public how awesome the agreed matrix. Remind us to that feeling we get when we first saw it in 1999, hoping Spark would be carried into a new film.
For the first time with the film matrix, Lana Wachowski only took the director’s role. His love for the world he created with his sister and a frequent collaborator, Lilly Wachowski, was proven. The deal with the old character is done with a loving touch that pays tribute to their story, when he explores new possibilities. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss were born to play Neo and Trinity. They glide back to scrolls like perfect sized gloves. This is their performance and chemistry of those who take stories to the next level. The matrix doesn’t work without them, and they give their best franchise until now.
Trying to explain the matrix for someone who is not familiar with it, it’s not an easy task. And the understanding of the matrix that is relatively strong, and its function is needed to fully enjoy the resurrection. This is not a type of film that you can watch without the previous knowledge. Doing that undoubtedly will make you get lost and confused during the duration of two and a half hours. My advice is to replay the original trilogy (yes, even the revolution. Sorry.) Before sitting for the fourth episode. The resurrection constantly reminds you of past events, but the story is too complicated to succeed.
Neil Patrick Harris (how did I meet your mother) joining the cast. His appearance is exactly what you expect. Mixed smooth and lowered and excessive tones. Sometimes a little abrasive, but it is quite suitable. The resurrection tone is very different from whatever matrix film we have seen before. This is meta and much more dependent on comedy, which seems to be a trend today. Nothing matches the original. No one expects it (and if you do it, you will be disappointed). But the resurrection is an increase. The correction of the course of the Abysmal Final we received with Revelation. 6/10.
