Whoa.

Anticipation has been at a fever pitch for Lana Wachowski's "The Matrix Resurrection," and the time for feedback has come. As embargos lifted, critics who had recently seen the latest installment were finally able to speak their minds about the film and let the world know what they could expect. This film already looks brighter and more vibrant than its predecessors, and theories about what to expect have been rampant. The /Film team has already done deep dives into the first trailer, analyzed specific roles, relished its embrace of nostalgia in certain clips, and just generally gotten really excited.

So, will you take the blue pill, and go to bed believing whatever you want to believe? Or will you take the red pill, keep reading this article, and see how deep the rabbit hole goes?
