There hasn’t been anything truly original in Hollywood in years. The film industry is rife with sequels, prequels, and reboots, with very little emphasis on original ideas. And unfortunately, this leads to lackluster movie releases. Despite this pervasive problem, audiences had high hopes for “The Matrix: Resurrections.” The fourth installment of the franchise releases soon after 18 years since the last movie. Plus, “The Matrix” has taken on a cult following with diehard fans eager for more content. But now that momentum may come to a screeching halt. Some early critic reviews for “The Matrix: Resurrections” are quite terrible. Reviewers describe the fourth movie in the franchise as being, “another truly horrible sequel.” Even fan-favorite lead Keanu Reeves isn’t enough to save this movie. The Daily Beast called “Resurrections,” “sillier than Zuckerberg’s Metaverse.” Reviewer Nick Schager wrote, “ Devoid of its trademark style, action and depth, it’s a pointless follow-up that falls back on cheeky self-referentiality in order to justify its existence.
