The Matrix Resurrections [4K Ultra-HD] [Blu-ray] [2021] [Region Free]

Bought this was great film and good quality

The fourth instalment of any movie series requires a specific link with what has gone before, as well as a narrative that introduces something different. Matrix Resurrections just about manages to fulfil both objectives. Its link with the previous three movies is in the basic thesis of the series, that there is a reality behind and beyond that experienced by humans.In the first movie, Matrix, we are introduced to a mysterious force known as The Matrix. It is an existence where subterfuge, control, and domination reign supreme. It is a matrix almost beyond comprehension. It is a world where humans live, but it is a world of deceptions - an elaborate scheme of evil cyber-intelligence. This is the world into which the main character of the series, Neo (played by Keanu Reeves) ventures, led there by a beautiful female Trinity (played by Carrie-Anne Moss), and joins with a group of rebels, led by the charismatic warrior Morpheus (played by Laurence Fishburn). The Matrix movie has a mythological element, whose truth needs to be discovered, whose illusion needs to be confronted before it can be destroyed, and the power of The Matrix can be defeated. This requires much thought, risk-taking, and courage as humans fight to stay alive - to escape The Matrix. This gives the movie much of its action.In the second movie, the first sequel, Matrix Reloaded, we are given more information about the ‘real world’ and the last human city of Zion. The urban reality of Zion features encounters between humans and the artificially intelligent bad guys. Martial arts strongly feature in the action. So too, there are several motifs that become prominent, including love and truth, purpose and reason, as the main characters seek to follow the courses they have chosen. Particularly, it is Neo who assumes the heroic figure as he seeks to find a way to defeat The Matrix and save humanity.The first sequel leads on to a second, The Matrix Revolutions. In this conclusion to the Matrix trilogy, we find Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity battling to defend the city of Zion, the last real-world city, against the onslaughts of the machines that have enslaved humanity. Neo learns more about the powers that he possesses, and he seeks to put them into practice as he faces the consequences of the choices he made, as evidenced in the previous movie, The Matrix Reloaded. The action is explosive and the excitement of the first two movies in the series is maintained, with some of the complexity of the trilogy’s plot lines being tied-up.The fourth film to appear in the series, Matrix Resurrections, is not so much a third sequel, but a postlude to the series. The human opposition to the matrix has remained, and that opposition is resurrected in this fourth movie.For Neo to truly know himself - is he a physical or mental construct, is his life real or an illusion - Neo will once again need to enter The Matrix. However, he is unaware that The Matrix is stronger and more dangerous than ever before; but Neo knows what he must do. The pursuit of his objectives makes for the dramatic and exciting conclusion to the four-movie series.Each of the movies in the Matrix series is produced with excellent Blu-ray and superb Dolby Digital sound. The movies are still available in their various single or series formats, and all at budget prices.

Well made but a bit superfluous?It expresses views that some reviewers have made about the first films.Also, it offers the idea that the original Matrix is a successful game first.Some good set pieces & extras but I am not sure this really adds anything?Also, there are some notable absences.

I have rewritten this review because my first review was based on watching this film once. This rewritten review is after I’d watched the film twice and realised my expectations had meant I’d missed important aspects of it. I’ve incorporated both reviews so you can see my initial thoughts and what changed when I watched it again.I originally said that the storyline “lightweight, with a drawn-out plot that was barely coherent, and ultimately, disappointing in the extreme.” Well… I was wrong. I said this because this latest Matrix film has extra layers to it, was even more of a mind twist. The original films were about living in a virtual world and not realising that it’s virtual, and I approached this fourth film expecting the same. However… how can I put this without giving too much away… it’s like this film knows that it’s a film about the Matrix. There’s an additional perspective that is also pointing to something… I’m working extremely hard to try to avoid giving anything away! Suffice to say, once I’d realised that there are some extra very interesting levels to this film, only obvious to me on the second watching (I’m not normally this slow at picking up things. It’s embarrassing!)The mental angst of certain characters is a part of the multi-layered complexity in the film, and it’s worth thinking about why it happens.My first review was so scathing. I hate to think that I was part of stopping anyone from enjoying the film because of what I’d said, so sorry to you and Keanu Reeves for that. I am at fault for approaching this film with preconceptions based on the first films. I am a very good demonstration of how one’s own inner content can affect and colour what one sees… which is, ironically, one of the things that the Matrix is about!So, I’ve gone from two stars to five, and the only thing I’ve changed is myself! How cool is that!

GREAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!
