After nearly 20 years, The Matrix saga continues with Lana Wachowski's reintroduction to the saga. The fourth film hits theaters tomorrow night and HBO Max tonight at 3am Eastern. Our review is already live on the site and we gave it a very mixed write-up. Despite hopes that this may be the beginning of another set of chapters in The Matrix canon, it looks like this fourth entry might really not be the kick start that many fans had hoped for. With mixed criticism that is extremely similar to the complaints people had about Reloaded and Revolutions, it seems that Lana may be shutting down The Matrix after this latest release. 

When attending the premiere of The Matrix Resurrections, she was naturally asked if this was the beginning of a new trilogy. She quipped sharply:

"My producers are over there. No."

This definitely falls in line with the story of the film which takes on the movie industry and corporate control head on. We're guessing this could change in time if the movie does great numbers. But going up against Spider-Man: No Way Home in its second weekend and a day and date HBO Max release is certainly not going to help out its box offer numbers. The film definitely is open to further sequels and the continuation of the Neo and Trinity story line.
