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

The effects of the original Matrix have barely aged a day since its release in 1999. Only a few moments here and there fail to be utterly convincing, and this is in large part due to the film employing CGI only when necessary to enhance the story.

Both Reloaded and Revolutions' CGI has aged poorly and even at the time of their release, many parts lacked the believability of the first Matrix's show-stopping effects. CGI overkill especially detracts from Reloaded. Neo fighting numerous versions of agent Smith broke new ground in 2003, but, even by the standards of the day, the action and figures looked cartoonish, and this problem has only compounded as more time passed.

Computer-generated effects have improved leaps and bounds since the Matrix's heyday. Much of what appeared less-than-convincing then could be achieved seamlessly now, but Lana Wachowski should return to employing CGI only when necessary for maximum impact. This way Resurrection may enjoy the same longevity as the original Matrix film.
