Ever since 2015 with the release of The Force Awakens, every studio that owns even the slightest bit of nostalgic IP is concocting ways in which they can leverage it for profit by way of the legacy sequel. So many of these films are made to stroke the ego of their predecessors filled with empty callbacks and easter eggs instead of furthering the characters and themes and, most importantly, making a good film that necessitates its existence rather than selling nostalgia as a product. While a truly GOOD legacy sequel is rare, Lana Wachowski's The Matrix Resurrections or The Matrix 4 came along and challenged the very nature of what studios, corporations, and even audiences are comfortable with, in the age of unoriginality in blockbuster entertainment. In so doing, Wachowski crafted one of the smartest blockbusters of the decade that comments on an evolving system seeking to control us by means of comfort, desire, emotions, feelings, our complacency as a cog in the machine, and how it affects the most vulnerable of us the most, specifically, those in grief. Matrix Resurrections is a great movie that brought back sincerity, love, brains, and craft to tentpole filmmaking; it's the anti legacy sequel we all needed and the template for how studios should approach franchise filmmaking of this caliber going forward. While yes, the new Matrix movie won't be for everyone, it's nice to see a film with something to say that continues on the themes presented in the original while not trying to recreate the original. Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his The Matrix Resurrections review and explains why the matrix resurrections is better than you think, why the matrix resurrections is a necessary sequel and why the matrix resurrections is the best legacy sequel we've gotten so far. Enjoy the matrix resurrections explained!

🎞 About The Matrix Resurrections 🎞

To find out if his reality is a physical or mental construct, Mr. Anderson, aka Neo (Keanu Reeves), will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more. If he's learned anything, it's that choice, while an illusion, is still the only way out of -- or into -- the Matrix. Neo already knows what he has to do, but what he doesn't yet know is that the Matrix is stronger, more secure, and far more dangerous than ever before. The film is written and directed by Lana Wachowski and also stars Carrie-Anne Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick, Jonathan Groff, Priyanka Chopra, and Neil Patrick Harris.
