If youâre looking to dive into the dark world of The Matrix before watching the new 2021 movie âThe Matrix Resurrectionsâ, here you can find the best guide to watching them all! And donât 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 âMatrixâ saga, in this article youâll find the best guide to do so!
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 franchiseâs 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.
Since its premiere in 1999, âThe Matrixâ has become one of the most iconic titles in science fiction. As we said, there are four different films of âThe Matrixâ, but they also featured an animation spin-off, âThe Animatrixâ, a collection of nine animated short films that helps to understand the Matrix world even more!
Therefore, itâs time to review the chronological order of the saga!
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. Itâs located around 2090.
According to âEnter the Matrix: Official Strategy Guideâ, this short from âThe Animatrixâ, is telling a story that takes place before the events of the first âMatrixâ movie.
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.
This short shows how Neo helps a young man to escape the Matrix! Itâs a story set between the events of âThe Matrixâ and âThe Matrix Reloadedâ.
First short of âThe Animatrixâ! However, chronologically takes place just before the story of âMatrix Reloadedâ.
Its plot is set six months after what happened in âThe Matrixâ and it explains the romance between Neo and Trinity. In addition, the Chosen One discovers the cyclical nature and creation of the Matrix.
The third installment starts immediately after what happened in âMatrix Reloadedâ, concluding with the trilogy, where something very relevant happens!
It occurs after the events of the initial trilogy. A spectacular short showing of a âhaunted houseâ!
With a plot similar to The Boyâs Story, in which an athlete begins to defy the laws of physics, itâs not clear at what point in the âMatrixâ chronology this short is located, but we recommend watching this at this point!
10. Animatrix: program
âProgramâ narrates a virtual simulation training within âMatrixâ. Nor is its location within the timeline of the âMatrixâ saga clear, but you will understand a little more about this world with this amazing short film.
This is also a short film that narrates the attempt of a group of rebels to teach machines the virtues of human beings.
Although there are three shorts of âThe Animatrixâ whose order is not clear, what is evident is that they happen before the events of âMatrix Resurrectionsâ, whose premiere comes 18 years after âMatrix Revolutionsâ. In the Matrix universe, not 20 years have passed, but six decades since Neo confronted Smith in exchange for achieving peace with the machines.
