Carrie-Anne Moss and Keanu Reeves return as Trinity and Neo in The Matrix Resurrections.

Warner Bros.

When The Matrix opened in 1999, it thrilled audiences with its strangely cerebral mix of stylized violence, existential crisis, and tight, black leather. The new movie The Matrix: Resurrections continues the story. Directed by Lana Wachowski, the film takes us back inside the simulation that the machines are using to keep humanity docile as they harvest our energy. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss return as Neo and Trinity, who, alongside an array of new characters, attempt to, once again, lead an uprising to let us all live authentic lives.

The audio was produced by Mike Katzif and Rommel Wood, and edited by Mike Katzif.
