The Matrix Resurrections Ending Explained 

The analyst wasn't wrong when he said most people don't want to wake up, they like the way things are in the false world even if their life sucks.

In regards to Trinity's seemingly new found powers. I believe this film was made to highlight the concept that Neo was never The One without Trinity's love for him.

I loved how Seek was able to blip into the matrix and get the crew through portals while still operating on the ship. The machines who cooperate with the humans in Io was a fascinating subject, elements of Matriculated. Stoked for more matrix content to dive into, grateful for this channel and the fans here who actually search for the depth layered into the lore.

The story has to continue. Neo and Trinity are now able to do what Morpheus spoke about in the 1st movie. "There was once a man in the matrix who could change it as he saw fit".. They both can.

The concept of being attached and self absorbed by the very system that controls you is a concept explored since the very beginning of matrix. Morpheus explains this to Neo in the agent's program. They might have updated the concept now to be consistent with today's commentaries on society, but it's essentially the same. When you are dependent on a system, you will defend it even if it is the source of your misery. The Matrix has always been about waking up , realizing yourself and walk outside of your confort zone.

Went in to watching Resurrections assuming it was a dumpster fire.... but it is actually an outstanding addition to the mythology while also managing to be quite hilarious. This will be one that inspires greater appreciation over time; people tend to get upset when something isn't in tune with their expectations.

The bit about machines garnering the most energy from Neo when he's being tortured and kept miserable is a reference to adrenochrome.

Perhaps "The One" is not even a singular being. It could be a reference to the Godhead, three beings are the same being. Neo was thought by many to be The One, but he is not. Neo, Agent Smith, and Trinity are all anomalies and in a sense, comprise the Godhead of the Matrix. They are all three The One. Or maybe I'm just a fucking idiot...

I think part of The Oracle's code is embed on Smith. Noticed how he began to smoke in the first scene that was introduced. I think if there are sequels, Smith may be a bigger threat than before... What if he still has The Oracle's eyes/ slowly develops powers similar to The Oracle?

"They took your story, something that meant so much to people like me. And they turned it into something trivial. " -Bugs speaking to Neo

In one of Lana’s interviews, she talked about how short intros for each movie of the original trilogy contained the condensed version of the primary idea of each movie. Have you noticed how this movie lacked that detail entirely?

I was so disappointed with Sati, I expect her role to be far more profound, her character and the plot around her seemed to fall flat. The addition of the "cute" machine allies added insult to injury

We will have a sequel for sure, I am amazed by the controversary this movie brings but it was obvious that it would have iHaters, since anyone has access to share his opinion nowadays, different to how it was in 99'. Related to the movie, I liked it and I would rate it 8/10. I see many people crying that Neo wasn't Jackie Chan in it or that the "new actors look terrible"; rather than focusing on the idea behind it and the purpose it serves (besides the usual one, money), it was enjoyable and as a long time fan, I am not hating, I enjoyed it, still have to rewatch it a couple of times since I might've missed some. Anyone's entitled to it's own view! There are 0 and 1, all the time.

Some points I thought were illuminating: The machines are a relatively new race of Sentients learning how to co-exist with humans. Io was a fantastic example of this. Like Zion before it, humans needed machines in order to survive. Neo and Trinity aren't naturally born humans nor are any living inside the matrix. I think ppl forget that they are in fact a hybrid human/machine race augmented as they are with technology allowing them to download new skills unlike natural humans who can not. Matrix 4 made excellent satire of the way sentient beings live inside their own beliefs regardless of what 'world' they exist in. True power is the ability to make changes in the world you believe to be real for better or worse. Humans do generally fear change and resist it hence why the Matrix fundamentally operates so effectively. Machines on the otherhand are constantly updating and continuously evolving. They are only held back by their older programming designs. However by studying humans they continuously are able to improve growing increasingly more adaptable. Morpheus was, for me, the most interesting character. Previously he was a Hybrid in the Matrix trilogy and now he's been recast as a sentient program. He knows his own fiction and what he's designed from just as Agent Smith does. Both learning to choose their own glorious purpose. I was surprised to see MERV still around after the Purge. Talk about a program refusing to die. If there are going to be sequels I doubt we've seen the last of him although it did seem odd to see such a once powerful program so diminished. What is the Matrix to you? This question was asked jokingly so many times it felt like it was done so purposely for the satire of it. Clearly pointing out that to many people it will just be another movie. Only to the rare few will it ever become a doorway and yet it is those rare few the future of all our lives depends on. Those who are able to see beyond the limits of what is Yet possible.

This story actually is cool since the old program had Neo as the one but since it was wiped and a new one was created now anyone can be “The One” and seeing how Neo and Trinity produce so much energy when close together it is powering the machines which is expanding. Movie is better when watched again it opens your mind for theories all over again

Is it just me,or do you love how divisive resurrection is?I think this movie is F ing with people's minds in ways they don't realize.M.R. will age in a very strange but sweet and truthful way.

I'm so glad you guys also acknowledge that M4 is the start of another trilogy. There is so much that still have to happen: the Kid, growth of different characters (including Morpheus 2.0 and Smith), the Suits, the new Oracle, Merv, etc. This whole movie had the feel of the start of something bigger! I can't wait!!

Everyone who like this movie are what the The extra scene was about at the end of the movie. The whole movie is just a cat video the movie actually is terrible… there is no point to the movie There is no plot there is no need to rescue Neo and Trinity. At the end of the day you’re just watching things you like. Just like a cat video. People who wanted to watch the movie more than once because they hated it the first time realize something is terribly wrong… is this movie so Meta that it’s bad on purpose? Even the ending was so bad it was like a video game.. screw a good ending you just want see shit blown up and now you want a game where you can build whatever you want with zero point.. so the ending had zero point on purpose. A movie pointless on purpose.

WOW! This video is DROPPING THE MiC on people who miss things in the new Matrix film and or dislike the film

I've just got back from seeing it for the first time. I 100% need to see it again to get more out of it. I have the same feeling as when i saw the first however of confusion and enjoyment. I heard someone calling it f**ing s**t on the way out but i bumped into a stranger that was diving into all the meanings like i was. Overall message for me was you can hide away in the metaverse or you can have something REAL like love.

What a powerfull movie that is Ressurections! I think in a few years when people look back at Ressurections they will say "wow what a real life slap in the face that movie was back then!

The Catrix sounds Dope AF

Some of you may hate this, but hear me out. This is my interpretation of the ending (spoilers): the reason that Trinity has Neo’s powers is simple- she had the anomaly’s code ever since Neo revived her at the end of Reloaded, but she was unable to activate it while the analyst had her and Neo separated, even though he rebuilt both of their brains. So once Neo and Trinity were freed again, not only have they reactivated their code, but the analyst lost most of his power over the Matrix because, unlike the Architect, he doesn’t have the power to change the Matrix code directly- only by manipulating people’s emotions. Therefore, Neo and Trinity are FINALLY in a position where they could actually bring an end to the Matrix once and for all, as many of us wanted to see after the first movie. That is, provided that the machines and humans of Io could fight in the real world and that Lana will direct another film, which I’m doubting at this point.

The Analyst is The Architect and The Oracle combined into one.

Who else felt they were watching the first episode of a Matrix tv series rather than a fleshed out movie. They definitely needed to show more of how this New Matrix addicted people to it.

I have always been a die hard Matrix fan!! I will.die at the hill defending g the entire trilogy. And I'll say...first hand...this was a truly great film. You have to really understand the Matrix lore and history to really appreciate the movie and to understand where it's going. I thought it was thought provoking and exciting. Can't wait to own it on 4k .

Its a 6.5/10 for me tbh. I didnt like how light hearted and funny it tried to be. I wanted a darker and more serious tone to it. Also this new Smith wasnt intimidating at all. Action was meh. A few tweaks wouldve made this film better. Lillys presence in the direction was def missed. Reloaded is still my favorite

Just wanted to say: I watched for a 2nd time and I enjoyed it more - I feel I got more of the subtext to it the 2nd time. I went from thinking it was a dud to a pretty decent movie. I also think that it might get enough box office mojo and fanfare for us to get further installments.

The movie definitely ends in a way that needs a sequel. But could potentially allow for better movies than Resurrections. A more in depth explanation of why some of the machines chose to ‘side with the humans’ and perhaps giving the Merovingian a better role could make for a great film. And of course get Hugo and Laurence back in action.

Most people have a hard time leaving their comfort zone. It takes something as powerful as love to force us to see. Just finished this movie and to me it says the same thing as the trilogy. If we choose love, we will win, if not, we will never be free🧐

This movie was a masterpiece in my opinion

I just got finished watching this on hbomax on the big screen TV and I must say they answered a lot of questions we had and left some unanswered but wow just wow this movie was worth the wait

Thank you Matrix Explained... Thank you for your dedication. Thank you for all of the thought provoking content that you've put out over the years that lead up to this so far... I really hope that the franchise continues, and I think that it definitely can... Merv said that it wasn't the last time that they'd see him, and Smith also said something along the lines of "our alliance is over for now...". 🤙

Just because something can be explained or has justifiable implementation doesn’t mean there isn’t an agenda attached to it… I’ve watched many reviews of this film and took them with a grain of salt because I don’t believe much have the understanding of the Matrix lore like this channel does. Which is why I subscribed. Amongst the amazing ads lol. With that being said, I had major concerns regarding the direction of the series after watching the trailers and did not want to watch this movie. For I feel indeed an agenda was at play. I said to myself, “they better not do to Neo what they did to Luke Skywalker.” After watching your last two videos, I know now I will need to watch it myself to confirm what I feel. 1. Why is Neo the one with PTSD, anxiety, depression when BOTH he AND Trinity suffered similar levels of trauma? Why has his character been reduced from the strong male lead he evolved into from reloaded and revolutions into the broken version of himself? Why is he the broken of the two? 2. Why has Morpheus been reduced from the strong male lead and patriarchal figure in the original trilogy, to IN YOUR OWN WORDS, simply “comic relief” 3. Why has the Merovingian, a jerk and egomaniac but a prominent, strong male character nonetheless, been reduced to a seemingly destitute hobo? Why have seemingly all the strong MALE leads from the original trilogy been reduced to broken versions of themselves? While Trinity, retains her strength and disposition and “Buggs” is seemingly a stronger character than Morpheus!?!? Coincidence? Or agenda? YOU decide…

Unfortunately I felt like it went from interesting to boring about halfway through. It seemed to become a standard Hollywood blockbuster with an exposition dump and a list of tasks. Show don't tell, especially in the matrix with it's overarching theme of enlightenment, and if you want audience participation. The fight scenes for me weren't as fun to watch as the older films but it is hard to recapture that magic. I was so interested for roughly the first hour or a little more. I feel like it was too long and not strange enough if that makes sense. Just my initial thoughts.

I've seen good reviews, I've seen bad reviews (a lot of those), but this is the only channel that makes the attempt to get what the film is about in itself, for itself, in context, and therefore I will probably go see it. Thanks.

Movie was good. The only thing that I think could have been improved is that they should not have unplugged Neo so soon. They should have shown the workings and design of the 7th version more rather than analyst just summarizing it in a few lines. They should have shown things like the changes they have made in the 7th version, the gaming, virtual reality, mobile phone technology etc etc and how 7th version is so much more addictive than the previous versions that people don't want reality anymore. That should have been established first before waking Neo up.

Just finished watching. I liked it. Wish it had been an hour longer to get more into detail with everything.

The overall aesthetic and style of communicating the message is what bothered me personally. Flashbacks from old movies felt forced, pacing seemed off, dialogues and exposition felt really weird at times. It seems that this story thoroughly explained sounds much better on paper, it would even work well as a book, but the whole implementation and execution on screen felt awkward. Sure there were many beautiful scenes, also enjoyed the new city IO (which was shown too little and not with living people), bots falling from windows was a nice touch, but writing in general just felt sloppy (at least how it was translated by the characters). I do appreciate the meta moments in the movie talking about that it's impossible to recreate the success of the old movies and that they need to do something different, but the way they did it just didn't connect with me. I also never watched Matrix trilogy for their fighting scenes so in this movie I didn't care for those much either, although didn't seem very great as well tbh. The ending dialogue and attitude with disgraced Analyst was just laughable.

One particular opinion from a person who loved the trilogy so much, grew with it ....is that this movie is very bad:( so much potential wasted, too predictable, too many cringe moments...you can feel that the director made this movie as a joke at WB request.....however I am still here Matrix Explained and I will follow your videos and ideas explored which are delivered far more immersive and creative than the actual "joke" movie.

And no the analyst was not wrong most people depend on the system even if we suffer because we are scared to lose the little or lot that we have. The first matrix was so influential that they had to tone it down for these very movies gave birth to the first free thought of reality since great philosophers like Plato.

This movie was what we needed. Opening up that book of our minds yet again this was good.

I like the part she beats the hell out of the Architect for naming her Tiffany 😆😆😆

I think that if you don't get the essence of the Matrix trilogy - or don't love the characters deeply -, and also as a meta approach to the conception of Ressurection and the evolution of the Wacho's cinema, you can't get how deep this movie is and you end up getting upset like most of the critics who were just looking for the same adrenaline shot as the first trilogy and waiting for the same reboot/remake phenomenon. If you haven't watched Sense8 for instance, or event Cloud Atlas, then it's difficult to understand that the Wacho's story is extremely close to their creative process and that the first trilogy was created that way because it belongs to a time in where transidentities and queer representations were near to zero in the pop culture - or worst. In this movie, Lana is closing on this transitional chapter of her life, I think. She doesn't need to hide behind obscure and complicated verbiage. Her cinema is so much more straightforward and it's great, because it reconnects us to the main topic of her creation: love. The Matrix Resurrection is beautiful in that sense. Also I see there the beginning of a new area, whether it's cross media or only movies, so as the first part of something new, there are lots of thing that have a great potential to be explored.

This movie was very deep. I was most amused by IO. We need more of an animatrix look at the city and the cooperation going on there.

Excellent analysis and explanations as always brother, thank you 😊 Keep em coming!

Just finished the movie I honestly like where they went with it. It had to be bold and that it most definitely was

Loved this explanation. A lot of the RU-vid movie reviewers need to watch this video and stop being haters. I enjoyed the movie 👍🏼

Seen it five times and it’s so breathtaking and I loved it how it becomes meta and straightforward with the plot and storylines that define what the matrix is at heart

just left the theater, I cried so so much! The chemistry of Neo / Trinity is just amazing. Loved the addition of Bugs as well. The new morpheus was justified, so I enjoyed that character too! The CGI was on point, despite that I thought there would be more practical effects (like the other films). I score in a B+ only because there are so many unanswered questions, but thats why I'm here now to get the answers 😆Also people claimed it was "funny", but there were maybe two scenes where I giggled, but that was it. The action scenes were really cool too! GO SEE THIS IN THEATERS, way better experience for-sure !

The Analyst is actually the character I agree with the most In this film, I fundamentally agree with what he says about people choosing to live in a false reality & we need only look at social media for this & the Metaverse is the next diabolical step in our false reality. Also the idea of staying in a false reality instead of living without what we want in life... speaks volumes.

I love how the ending shares sentiments of how they are not planning on changing people but rather changing the system which governs people thus in turn freeing people.

Well explained sir, it’s sad to see the other movie reviewers don’t get it and indirectly being slapped in the face throughout watching the movie 😄 for what they are focusing wrongly. I watched it yesterday and I think it’s a great thought provoking movie with reflection to our current life. True Mateix fans will understand the message behind this movie

This guy gets it. Thank you for this awesome channel!

Your analysis convinced me to watch it again!

i think the whole emotion in the movie depends on the relationship of neo and trinity

There are many interesting topics in the Matrix Resurrections movie to explore ;)

It's the greatest film and cinematic achievement.

This was the discussion I wanted to have. Thank you

" Paint the sky's with rainbows... " That comment is also important... It's what Sati did at the end on Revelutions.. So Sati is also a free mind, just like Trinity and Neo... and it's something to remind people what a free mind can do...

This made a perfect beginning to a new trilogy there is no way it doesn’t continue, also the possibility of a tv series is high with the end cut scene saying a “series of Cat videos and we’ll cat it Catrix “

Wow. Your explanation just made the movie even better. I was a bit disappointed but it now makes sense and looking forward to where the franchise is headed.

At least this movie solved the 'not being able wait to see another matrix movie' problem.

Just saw the movie this afternoon and I honestly loved it. There were things I wasn't keen on but overall it was a really good sequel to the trilogy in my opinion.

Can you PLEASE breakdown on why/how Trinity was able to "kill/reboot" the Analyst at the end? That was so confusing and a power that has NEVER been seen before in the matrix....UNLESS it's supposed to be similar to Neo destroying/freeing Agent Smith at the end of the first film.

Movie was Excellent! My mind started asking questions Right away( new questions)... Finally the RETURN of thought provoking Cinema! You want numb and colorful cinema... im sure a new Avengers movie is just around the corner! Best line in the movie : The Merovingian:" This is not over Yet! I will sequel franchise spin-off!"....POINT MADE!

They made a movie that was trying to justify its own existence. They shouldn’t have made this movie. It tarnished the legacy of what came before.

I do not understand how Smith seemed to in control of the Matrix and all the bots once he shot the Analyst in the head. I also don’t understand how or why Smith seemed unaffected by the Analyst’s bullet time powers, but Neo was. In fact, I am not sure what Smith purpose or agenda was beyond just wanting to kill Neo. That all being said I thought the movie was great!

I have a theory. 22 years ago, when the first film appeared, you needed to visually show the future as they did, as smth technical, distant, a lot of machines... But today, we perceive the matrix, the artificial world, as smth softer, more friendly & everyday like. The nuances are enough, but it makes that world more scarier. I want to say, it's not technical that much, the power of manipulation, strong characters, mind control - that's what makes that world future variant of our world. Haven't seen it yet, but already love it!

Happy to see your channel blowing up these days!

Before that movie there was no deja vu program. It was a glitch because of something being changed. The deja vu concept differs from the original triology.

if a sequel is made i absolutely want Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving back in their respective role please.....

100% the movie is not over , many things opened Smith still alive Analyst doesn’t die The new city still alive , machines need to attack Sati mentioned something big will happen that’s why they needed neo and trinity back None of the characters died … Frenchman still alive Buggs might be the transition character to be the “one” since her body was used to unplug trinity Peace ✌️

Warner Bros should pay you, because I was one of those dudes that did not like the ending, until I got some of your break downs on it. Thank you for your research and analyzation. This channel is the best matrix channel. Much love to my matrix heads out there❤

Glad you came to the rescue to explain this LONG awaited gem. BUT I'm still confused 😞.........😂

I think the movie is having some similar reactions as the original, 1999 I remember a lot of people watched it and they just didn't get it and understand the commentary and meaning... So it really wasn't as popular as people think it was... It only became more mainstream and popular as the academics and writers start to dissect and explain the commentary. I think Lana has a lot to say in this. The Bot attack at the end the claustrophobic feeling, the smother feeling is her commentary on cancel culture. When you just say one unpopular thing online it's like a switch goes off and everyone just jumps on you and come at you non stop when they themselves don't even know what they are attacking you about. Kudos to Lana I think she did an amazing job. This Matrix is every bit as deep and interesting as the first.

I saw the film today and I liked it. Most importantly I thought it was a perfect coda to the trilogy. Neo and Trinity dying in #3 I think was a good ending but it's not a happy ending. In this case, they had a better outcome. I also said before I liked #2 and #3 and the Animatrix more than the first one. I thought this was a lot of fan service and I do think they touched on some interesting ideas. I would argue that if you're not a Matrix fan and if you particularly didn't like the sequels as much, this will be harder for you. So I think it was clever, had its moments, and a few novel ideas including how programs can now exist in our world (why not just give them a machine body?). I do think it would've been better with Weaving and possibly Fishburne, with the same story (i.e., Morpheus would still be the program).

This movie had my jaw dropped the whole time

Being a fan of and watching the matrix is not complete without this channel

I feel like The Analyst is the combination of the Architect, the Merovingian, & the Oracle...basically, the purge shows that the machines are also still evolving.

Morpheus, initially thought that everyone of his crew, that he freed, was the ONE. Trinity, Mouse, Neo and even Cypher.

Did anyone else notice as Neo was talking to his Doctor, the butterfly in the background went all blue, then he went through 3/4 flue, 1/2 flue, 1/3 blue. Watch the back ground.

Excellent commentary and review. Thank you!!

I love the animation and the music 🎶 🎵

Despite it might not look like that at first glance, The Matrix Resurrections is actually a timely and poignant reiteration of the message of the original film. And what the Analyst says at the end is probably the most important part of it in the context of the present moment. Not a fan of Freud, but can it be the reason…hmm, subconsciously :)…for all those negative reactions?

I enjoyed the shit out of the movie. Was very emotional!!! Up and down. So deep

I enjoyed this flick quite a bit. It took chances and had something thought provoking to say. 👍🏻

What I have found is that you need to watch it more than once to start getting it. First time I saw it I hated it. After three watches I'm starting to get what they were going for and how it has a place in the Matrix story. But if I said I had no issues at all I'd be lying.

Can you do a video on the new Morpheus? This whole thing confused me. I realize that Neo's modal program programmed an agent to learn how to be Morpheus. The thing that confuses me though is in the scene where the agents refer to him as "Agent Smith". If he was the new Agent Smith of this version's Matrix then is the Agent Smith character that is Neo's boss at Deus Machina an old version of Agent Smith smuggled in by the Machiavellian since he was a smuggler of programs in and out of the Matrix? Shedding some light on this would be great. Thx for the videos

I havnt seen Matrix ressurections yet and im glad im FINALLY seeing some positive comments on this movie,the Matrix is deep and vast universe you just never know how things are gonna play out.

Just finished watching the movie and, of course, I had to come here as it's the best source of info... keep up the good work

I wonder why Trinity was able to fly from the building but Neo couldn’t. The argument could be made that he no longer has that ability, but the two of them are shown flying together at the end of the movie

It's great reading good, positive comments (for a change) I think the movie was great! And a lovely set up for future movies!

I can't believe you find a way to keep posting about the same 3 films, now 4 week after week.

Video idea: responding to critiques of the film by using quotes from the film itself! So much dialogue is so well written and calls people out on what they think the film should be

I liked it. It had a lot of subtlety and an interesting Terminator reference I wonder if anyone else noticed. Morpheus asset in code was model 101, cyberdyne systems 101 was Arnolds terminator. Morpheus walked the hallway and crossed arms with the guns just like arnolds terminator

Great explanations, you definitely know your lore. Could you please do a video on how & why Smith came back? He seemed to have a moment of recollection before picking up the gun in the offices. Is his source code interlinked with Neo's? Thank you and wishing you happy holidays!

So now the question is what were the original trilogy of films? A: A movie trilogy based on the events surrounding the Thomas Anderson/Neo integral anomaly? B: The cutscenes from The Matrix series of games created by Thomas Anderson inside The Matrix cut together into films like we see on RU-vid nowadays, or even like these recent indie films using a photorealistic game engine like Unreal Engine 5 to make a feature film trilogy? C: A movie trilogy based on a screenplay adaptation of the game Thomas Anderson designed in The Matrix which is also in The Matrix?

I thought Neo and Trinity were the best part (only good part?) of Resurrections so I'm totally behind her getting powers. Carrie-Anne Moss is back and she still kicks ass.
