A large portion of The Matrix Resurrections is about digging into the memories of not only Thomas Anderson but the audience who watched these movies 20 years ago. While the flirtation with nostalgia is interesting, the commentary on the entertainment industry in general is a little too obvious for a world that is already elbows deep within it.
The core of this movie is what really matters and that's Neo and Trinity. The progression of their story makes absolute sense when taking the entire franchise into context and ultimately gives us a Matrix movie that is far more personal than we've had before. They are not pushed aside to prop up newer characters and when I walked out of the theater I was not thinking about the action or special effects but instead the beautiful relationship between two human beings that reminds us what true love is all about.
