![]() ![]() This trailer goes out of its way to establish that Neo and Trinity still share a special connection. If that’s the case though, then what are we to make of this Neo’s fixation on Trinity? Perhaps then the version of Neo that we see in this trailer is merely the next in a long line of interchangeable saviors. It’s possible that The Machines are liquidating Neo’s corporeal form for energy or more likely to be used as material to create the next “One” for the new Matrix. How interesting then, that this trailer presents a moment in which Neo’s body appears to be under the influence of the machines in the real world once again. The last we see of Neo is his body in the real world being dragged off by the Machines for purposes unknown. The Architect and The Oracle then allow for the creation of a new Matrix so that the tenuous status quo can continue. He allowed himself to be consumed by Smith and the two sides of The Matrix’s equation canceled each other out, ending this iteration of the program and preserving the survival of the real world. Neo was ultimately able to defeat Smith by recognizing that the Matrix craved order. Neo, knowing he was the only entity powerful enough to stop Smith, cut a deal with the Machines dominating humanity to leave the human city of Zion alone in return for his help. In that installment, the existence of both The Matrix and the real world were threatened by the rogue program known as Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving). Though The Matrix franchise is fit to bursting with supplemental material like videogames, comics, and animated shorts, the cinematic story ended in 2003’s The Matrix Revolutions. These are all valid questions that take us back to the ending of the original trilogy. It’s understandable why The Matrix Resurrections would want to bring things back to some semblance of a status quo, if only even to better capture the rhythms of the first film, but how did Neo get here? Due to his status as The One, did the Machines allow Neo some agency in deciding his future? Now that Trinity was gone, did he decide to be plugged back in? ![]() Anderson visiting with his therapist (Neil Patrick Harris), gobbling down bottles of blue pills, and even meeting Trinity (Carrie Anne Moss) in a coffee shop. The trailer leaves no confusion that when the fourth Matrix film picks up, Neo will be back in The Matrix’s artificial world, living out his life as the lowly office drone Thomas Anderson once again. How did Neo (Keanu Reeves) make it back into The Matrix anyway? In the meantime, however, there’s one urgent question that needs to be addressed. ![]() All of Den of Geek’s sentinels are hard at work in Machine City right now breaking down every inch of new Matrix Resurrections footage. ![]()
