10 Best Legacy Movie Sequels Ever

Set some sixty years after Matrix Revolutions, The Matrix Resurrections follows Neo and Trinity as their seemingly ordinary lives are thrown into turmoil by a new enemy that threatens both them and the world.

Bracingly fast-paced, funny, and inventive, Resurrections allows Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss to slip effortlessly back into their most famous roles, whilst adding a wonderfully fresh, self-aware spin on the lore mapped-out by the preceding trilogy.

There are some issues - mainly the lack of Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving, and some questionable special effects - but the film's inventive worldbuilding and compelling characterisation makes it an absolute thrill-ride, at once a unique action flick and an emotional send-off to two era-defining heroes.

Resurrections may not reach the highs of the original (what could?), but it makes itself its own with great results all the same.
