How many Matrix Movies are there? The ultimate guide to watch them all!

If you’re looking to dive into the dark world of The Matrix before watching the new 2021 movie “The Matrix Resurrections”, here you can find the best guide to watching them all! And don’t worry, we know that the Matrix Resurrections hit theaters on Wednesday, December 22nd, and has been a hot topic on Twitter ever since with a lot of spoilers, but this post is spoiler-free!

As in other cases such as the Star Wars Universe or the Marvel Universe, there are different ways to see the ‘Matrix’ saga, in this article you’ll find the best guide to do so!

How many Matrix movies are there?

To clear up your confusion, there are a total of four Matrix movies, including Resurrections of 2021.

The four films in the franchise are The Matrix (1999), The Matrix Reloaded (2003), The Matrix Revolutions (2003), and The Matrix Resurrections (2021). The Wachowski siblings are the directors of all these movies, and the franchise is owned by Warner Bros.

Surely you know this, but just to clarify, the Matrix franchise’s premise is set in a dystopian world where humanity has been imprisoned in virtual reality. The series revolves around the characters Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), Neo (Keanu Reeves), and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II), who try to free humanity from the race of self-aware machines that dominates the virtual world.

Guide to watch all Matrix films

Since its premiere in 1999, ‘The Matrix’ has become one of the most iconic titles in science fiction. As we said, there are four different films of ‘The Matrix’, but they also featured an animation spin-off, ‘The Animatrix’, a collection of nine animated short films that helps to understand the Matrix world even more!

Therefore, it’s time to review the chronological order of the saga!

1. Animatrix: short of the second renaissance, parts 1 and 2

If you are a beginner of Matrix, these parts will help you as they narrate how the Matrix originated and how humanity ended up fighting against machines. It’s located around 2090.

2. Animatrix: a history of detectives

According to ‘Enter the Matrix: Official Strategy Guide’, this short from ‘The Animatrix’, is telling a story that takes place before the events of the first ‘Matrix’ movie.

3. Matrix

This is the first film and it narrates the origin of Neo, how he joined the Nebuchadnezzar in the real world, how he was rescued by Morpheus, and how the Oracle predicted that he would be the Chosen One. It takes place around the year 2199.

4. Animatrix: boy’s story

This short shows how Neo helps a young man to escape the Matrix! It’s a story set between the events of ‘The Matrix’ and ‘The Matrix Reloaded’.

5. Animatrix: the last flight of Osiris

First short of ‘The Animatrix‘! However, chronologically takes place just before the story of ‘Matrix Reloaded’.

6. Matrix reloaded

Its plot is set six months after what happened in ‘The Matrix’ and it explains the romance between Neo and Trinity. In addition, the Chosen One discovers the cyclical nature and creation of the Matrix.

7. Matrix revolutions

The third installment starts immediately after what happened in ‘Matrix Reloaded’, concluding with the trilogy, where something very relevant happens!

8. Animatrix: beyond

It occurs after the events of the initial trilogy. A spectacular short showing of a ‘haunted house‘!

9. Animatrix: world record

With a plot similar to The Boy’s Story, in which an athlete begins to defy the laws of physics, it’s not clear at what point in the ‘Matrix’ chronology this short is located, but we recommend watching this at this point!
10. Animatrix: program

‘Program’ narrates a virtual simulation training within ‘Matrix’. Nor is its location within the timeline of the ‘Matrix’ saga clear, but you will understand a little more about this world with this amazing short film.

11. Animatrix: enrolled

This is also a short film that narrates the attempt of a group of rebels to teach machines the virtues of human beings.

12. Matrix Resurrections

Although there are three shorts of ‘The Animatrix’ whose order is not clear, what is evident is that they happen before the events of ‘Matrix Resurrections’, whose premiere comes 18 years after ‘Matrix Revolutions’. In the Matrix universe, not 20 years have passed, but six decades since Neo confronted Smith in exchange for achieving peace with the machines.

Have you seen the entire Matrix saga? And the last movie? Enjoy it!
