The Matrix Resurrections: 10 Biggest Questions It Leaves Unanswered

The Matrix Resurrections is finally out now around the world, and the initial response has been nothing short of extremely polarising, critics and especially fans proving sharply divided on Lana Wachowski's aggressively meta sci-fi blockbuster.

Resurrections is by a measure the most heady and confusion-prone film in the series. Even watching on HBO Max with subtitles, there is a lot to take in here, and you couldn't really be forgiven for spacing on some of the finer details.

But it's also fair to say that Lana Wachowski has deliberately kept a lot of information hanging in the air, which given the possibility that this is the final Matrix movie within this continuity, has naturally left many fans understandably frustrated.

By deepening the series' already thorny, arguably convoluted lore, and taking place many decades after the events of The Matrix Revolutions, Resurrections has left fans with many questions about the wider state of the universe and also the fates of numerous iconic characters.

Fans are sure to keep debating many of these questions for the foreseeable future, though at least in a few cases we can do some reading between the lines and settle on the probable answers...

Resurrections' big final twist is that Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) has developed the ability to fly, and the film ends with both Trin and Neo (Keanu Reeves) joyously flying into the sky.

We aren't really given any specific context for the development of Trinity's powers, and it also begs the question - is she The One now? Or are there two The Ones? What's going on?

Given that the story is centered around Neo and Trinity being reunited and the power of their bond creating the anomaly of the One in the Matrix, it really feels like Lana Wachowski is basically reinventing the entire idea of The One, that they've basically become "The Two," if you like.

None of this is said in the film, but a clear effort has been made to put the lead male and female heroes on an equal footing as the credits roll.

Certain quarters of the Internet are already calling this ending a "woke retcon," but honestly it feels appropriate for a franchise that has always been about the love between these two characters.

Making them the ultimate, literal power couple is a fitting end for the entire series, honestly.
