THE MATRIX 4 Officially Titled THE MATRIX: RESURRECTIONS and Trailer Description!
Warner Bros. announced that the title of The Matrix 4 is The Matrix: Resurrections. They also premiered the first trailer during their presentation at CinemaCon, and we were there to witness that awesomeness! Holy shit! This movie is going in a direction that I did not see coming, and it’s going to deliver an insanely epic story!
We are going to post a reaction video for it later, but here’s what the trailer entailed.
The trailer opens up with Neil Patrick Harris talking to Keanu Reeves in a therapy session in a future version of San Francisco. It seems that Neo is trapped back in the fake world, much like he was before he entered the Matrix, but he is feeling that something is off, he’s not quite comfortable with where he’s at. Reeves asks, “Am I crazy,” to which Harris responds, “We don’t use that word in here.”
We then cut to a scene where Neo comes in contact with Carrie Anne Moss’ Trinity in a cafe and she asks, “Have we met?” There is obviously something going on here where they are slowly realizing they are trapped in the Matrix, a world where they don’t belong.
There’s a shot of blue pills spilling in a sink, and at the same time, Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” song is playing. At one point there’s a shot of Neo looking at himself in a mirror and his reflection begins to distort and turn into an old man.
There’s a part where Neo is looking into the sky watching a flock of birds flying around as he tries to analyze it. We then see him in an elevator with a group of people on their phones, and he is looking at the reflection of everyone looking at their screens.
Things take a hard turn here, and a younger Morpheus played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II shows up telling Neo that it’s “time to fly” and then hands him a red pill. Neo also meets a person with blue hair who has a tattoo of a rabbit and they end up walking through a mirror.
He ends up in a dojo, which is on a lake, with Abdul-Mateen’s young Morpheus character and he says, “The only thing that matters to you is still here. You’ll never give up.” Then they start to spar, and at one point Neo hits this Morpheus character super hard in the chest sending him flying out of the room.
From here, there are some wicked cool and explosive fight action sequences, you know, like you’d expect to see from a Matrix movie!
So much action, so many radical visuals flying into my eyeballs! It was a lot and hard to take all of it in, but there is some cool stuff here that is going to once again raise the bar in visuals for movies and fight scenes. Neo and Trinity end up escaping the Matrix and end up back in the real world, though, where they are continuing their fight. We just don’t know exactly for what yet.
There’s a shot of Neo and the blue-haired character on a train, and a sniper from afar fires a bullet at them and it flies through the train toward them. Some of the visuals we see are fields of people plugged into the Matrix. A shot of Trinity being unplugged in the Matrix. At one point the blue-haired character jumps over a car in slow motion. We see Neo holding bullets in the air. There’s a helicopter that launches a missile at Neo and Trinity. While that happens Neo changes its direction mid-air and shoots it into another helicopter.
The final shot is of Neo in an office with a man in a business suit who is played by Jonathan Groff. He says, “You’re going back to where it all started. Back to the Matrix.”
The movie looks insane and any fan of the original Matrix movie is going to be blown away by what this trailer throws at them! I’m super stoked! Oh! And Keanu Reeves kept his John Wick look for the movie.
The film will also star newcomers Christina Ricci, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Jessica Henwick, and Toby Onwumere.
The Matrix: Resurrections was directed by Lana Wachowski, and it’s set to drop into theaters on December 22nd.
