Matrix 4 gets a release date

Resurrections' Box Office Failure Kills All Hope For The Matrix 5

The Matrix Resurrections has earned mixed reviews from many critics, but its disastrous box office take has likely killed any chance of a Matrix 5.

The box office failure of The Matrix Resurrections has likely killed any chances of a Matrix 5 happening. For nearly 20 years, basically everyone believed the Matrix franchise had ended for good, at least as far as the main movie series. The Matrix Revolutions brought things to a pretty conclusive finish, with Neo and Trinity both seemingly dead, and at least temporary peace having been brokered between humans and machines. While that film was very divisive, it did at least seem to provide closure to the story.

Then along came The Matrix Resurrections to end 2021. Keanu Reeves was back as Neo, Carrie-Ann Moss was back as Trinity, and even Matrix co-creator Lana Wachowski returned to direct. Many had high hopes for this grand return to the matrix world, but, sadly, the response to The Matrix Resurrections has been mixed at best. Reviews from critics, while far from terrible, were also far from great. The response from audiences was arguably even more divided, with there seeming to be almost no middle ground between loving the sequel and hating it.

Those who did enjoy The Matrix Resurrections held out some hope for a Matrix 5 to materialize. Despite Wachowski and Reeves downplaying the possibility, the ending of Resurrections clearly leaves the door open for another adventure with the reunited Neo and Trinity. Unfortunately, The Matrix Resurrections' box office haul has been anemic, earning a mere $125 million worldwide after several weeks of release. That makes it far and away the lowest-grossing Matrix movie to date, and it would have to earn $300 million more in theaters to even overtake The Matrix Revolutions' worldwide total.

If you make a bad movie...
 
It had its moments but I didn't enjoy it. Too meta. Too on the nose.
 
Stupid movie. Just a nostalgic cash grab
 
Matrix Revolutions: "We're as bad as the franchise will get."

Matrix Resurrections: "Hold my tiny espresso."

Jeez, what pile of sh*t
 
Also got round to watching it last night, was total crap. Hated every second of it. Somehow they made it feel like a low budget movie. The previous movies had a lot of wow moments, this had nothing. The fight and gun scenes all looked fake and stupid. All the characters are totally forgettable, so much so I cannot remember any of the new ones names.

They even managed to f'up Rage Against the Machine's Wake Up!
