Review of The Matrix Resurrections (2021) by Michajsen — 21 Jan 2022

Love Is.

POW! CRACK! SWISH! BOOM! DEJA VU! IMPEDING DOOM!

18 yrs have passed in the "our" world since Revolutions, 60 yrs in the Matrix "real" world, & "The Matrix" franchise as we knew it has been cleverly turned into a video game series.

Trivial video games, coded & created by none other than, our high-flying digital superhero, Neo "The One", who is once again his Matrix friendly "Thomas Anderson". Blue-pilled & despondent, coding his faint memories into even more controlled actions via a game controller.

It is utterly depressing. Defeating. Bitter disillusionment. As Agent Smith (Anderson's new business partner) would say, "It is inevitable.".

But within the Matrix, reoccurring paths are taken & those faint memories are slowly reawoken with the help from new character "Bugs" & a "Thomas Anderson" digitized memory of Morpheus.

Soon after, Thomas (Neo) & Tiffany (Trinity) are reunited, rescued & released from the Matrix human copper-top pods & suddenly the Matrix is not just another video game.

The fight for freedom once again is set in motion between our human heroes & Matrix bots. And in dire need & perfect prophecy, Trinity harnesses the power of the Matrix to fly, saving them from free fall & inevitable death.

Triumph ensues for our beloved couple because in the end, & in the beginning of it all, through the complex codings & philosophy, religious undertones & flying bullets, love is the overarching theme of "The Matrix".

Love is what binds, breaks & bonds us all. Love is a belief in one another - a thought, a memory, a feeling, & conquers all. And with the two of them together, they are fully formed, complete, & unstoppable. Together they are, "The One.".

As the evocative end quote states, "Love is the genesis of everything.
