The Matrix Resurrections: 10 Mistakes From The Original Trilogy It Needs To Avoid

One large gripe that many fans had with the concluding chapter of the Matrix trilogy, The Matrix: Revolutions, was how little of the story occurred within the Matrix. The plot involved Zion's last stand against the machines, which meant much of the action took place in the mechanized city. While this choice made logical sense from a narrative standpoint, the world of Zion is visually one note, a dreary monochromatic industrial-looking space that's many moving parts made it visually noisy.

At first, Zion's visual dreariness provided a stark contrast with the Matrix's vivid simulation of reality, making an impact on an aesthetic level when Reloaded spent time in the world outside of the Matrix. However, choosing to set much of the third film in Zion made it overall visually unappealing in comparison to its predecessors.

Now that Revolutions ostensibly resolved Zion's story, its time to return to the Matrix where the awe-inspiring visuals that made the first film so remarkable can take center stage.
