The Matrix Resurrections’ Trinity Change Retconned The Whole Franchise – And Made It Better

The most egregious scene from the original Matrix trilogy was finally fixed nearly two decades later when the polarizing reboot retconned the franchise. While The Matrix was universally praised as one of the greatest science fiction films – and one of the greatest action films – ever made, its sequels were met with a much more mixed reception. What was once a thought-provoking meditation on the nature of reality devolved into a series of baffling exposition dumps broken up by CG-riddled action set-pieces. The Matrix Reloaded was lauded for its action, but criticized for its script, and The Matrix Revolutions was panned across the board.
