Return to a world of two realities: one, everyday life; the other, what lies behind it. To find out if his reality is a construct, to truly know himself, Mr. Anderson will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more.

I’d say the reason to avoid this one would be because only one of the Wachowskis (Lana) in the director’s chair. Judging by the opening act of the movie I still have to wonder if there was an overwhelming desire by the Wachowskis to make a fourth movie. I will admit that Resurrections wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be, but they didn’t came close to catching the lightening in the bottle like they did back in 1999 with the original movie (but even if both of the Wachowskis directed the movie it would have been a struggle). I believe that this makes Resurrections the worst of The Matrix movies. That being said there still are somethings to like about the new movie.
Neil Patrick Harris is one of those actors who is usually a delight to watch in a movie, it was interesting to see how they introduced new characters specifically Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Morpheus and Jessica Henwick as Bugs in such a way that linked back to the original movie and it was also interesting to see how the world outside of The Matrix progressed after the truce that ended the third movie.
However, the action sequences seemed to be very uninspired, I felt that the movie started to feel that it was dragging by the halfway point and the third act seemed bloated and reminded me of the freeway chase sequence but not in a good way. The only good thing about the third act of the movie was Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ performance as Sati.
