It’s been 18 years since we saw Neo ‘The One’ save humanity from robots in a sci-fi world where we’ve been enslaved by the machines and we no longer know the difference between reality and illusion! I haven’t told you anything new until now and you’ll feel the same after watching the first half an hour running time of the recently released film ‘The Matrix Resurrections’.&nbsp;

Keanu Reeves’ Neo is back where he started off – being Thomas Anderson, only now he is no longer the illegal hacker of 1999 but a video game developer for Warner Bros (yes, that plug is there) who has made games that are (wait for it) the Matrix trilogy! And now he’s being asked to make a sequel to the trilogy (yes, the makers are being smug here). But does he look good!

Neil Patrick Harris is his analyst who’s fooled him until now and made him believe that this is the real world (where he’s making video games) while being controlled by machines that want to keep him away from humans who want their minds to be free (because they know what happens when Neo does his magic– from flying to beating his enemies with all the fighting skills possible and always escaping the agents).&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-the-matrix-resurrections-leaked-online-on-torrent-sites-days-before-india-release-438732" hreflang="en">'The Matrix Resurrections' leaked online on torrent sites, days before India release</a>

Then there’s Trinity oops Tiffany who Thomas meets everyday at the same cafe but does not recognise. Only that he does but has no memories of where he knows her from. Both Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss have aged gracefully and look old and we’re not complaining. Their chemistry sizzles like old times.

Film’s director Lana Wachowski brings together nostalgic elements that bind the film together but lacks the punch that the first film had…but to be honest, how many sequels live up to their predecessors? She brings the dingy industrial spaceships, robots with metal tentacles back to show what the real world looks like – much like what you’d remember from the original film. There’s also lots of action (obviously) and some kickass stunts but somehow it all pales in comparison to what we saw in the 1999 film. One thing good, however, is that the humans in the illusive world no longer need telephone booths to jump to and fro. So that’s quite a relief, given we’ve jumped two decades since the first film came out.&nbsp;

Also, probably because these days we see so much meta stuff around us that the idea of machines and Artificial Intelligence taking over our world doesn’t seem so dystopian anymore. Maybe we have accepted that fate already? Or is it fate, really? Maybe, all this is just an illusion and we’ll find a glitch soon.&nbsp;

Priyanka Chopra also finds a credible mention as she plays Sati. While her screen time is less, she gets a meaty, chunky role and she does justice to it. She plays a crucial role in getting Neo and Trinity together as the actress proves her acting mettle yet again.&nbsp;

The Matrix Resurrections movie review: Slow but worth it

Sci-fi franchise 'The Matrix' will return for a fourth film with Keanu Reeves reprising his role as kung fu-kicking, shades-wearing hero Neo, studio Warner Bros said Tuesday. 
 
Lana Wachowski will helm the project, returning to write, direct and produce the latest installment of the hugely popular series about humans trapped in a virtual reality by machines, which has netted more than $1.6 billion worldwide. 
 
"We could not be more excited to be re-entering 'The Matrix' with Lana," studio chairman Toby Emmerich said in a statement sent to AFP. 
 
"Lana is a true visionary -- a singular and original creative filmmaker," he added. 
 
Lana and her sister Lilly -- who were formerly known as the Wachowski brothers, Andy and Larry, before switching gender -- directed the original trilogy. 
 
Warner Bros did not specify if the new film would be a direct sequel, saying only that it was "set in the world of 'The Matrix'," and did not give a release date. 
 
The original films followed a band of rebels who battled intelligent machines in a future where humans are enslaved within the Matrix -- a virtual reality that resembles the contemporary world. 
 
Reeves' Neo was a hero on a mission to save mankind. 
 
The dark fantasy featured a mix of pseudo-eastern philosophy and Western mythology, spectacular fight scenes and lavish special effects. 
 
"Many of the ideas Lilly and I explored 20 years ago about our reality are even more relevant now," said Lana Wachowski. 
 
"I'm very happy to have these characters back in my life and grateful for another chance to work with my brilliant friends." 
 
Carrie-Anne Moss will also return to her role as Trinity, the studio said Tuesday.&nbsp; 
 
The original film turns 20 this year, with special screenings planned in the US later this month. 
 
The third film in the series, 'The Matrix Revolutions'&nbsp;(2003), was the first film to be released simultaneously around the world at the same hour.
