Warner Bros. Pictures is set to re-release The Matrix (1999) on December 3, 2021, ahead of The Matrix Resurrections release in cinemas on December 22, 2021.

In 1999, when ‘The Matrix’ released, the world wouldn’t have guessed how influential the Wachowskis siblings’ Keanu Reeves-starring action movie would turn out to be. More than two decades later, the film carries a legendary status.

This is the film that started all the trademarks of a Matrix movie; the green-black color palette; the slow-mo bullet shots; the futuristic glasses. In the film, Keanu Reeves plays Thomas Anderson, a computer programmer who realizes that life is just a re-creation to mask an ongoing conflict between humans and Artificial Intelligence in the ‘real’ world. When he learns to manipulate this, stuff starts to happen.

So before ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ releases in cinemas, it will be a treat for the fans to witness ‘The Matrix’ on the big screen on December 3. Although watching the other two films in the franchise, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, will only add to the excitement of the impending new film. The re-release is also a chance for fans who haven’t seen the original film in cinema, to experience it in today’s modern cinema screens with massive sound and visual boost.

Well received by critics and audiences alike, The Matrix won four Academy Awards and is better known for introducing popular culture symbols such as the red pill and blue pill, and influencing action filmmaking.

The Matrix stars Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Ann Moss, Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving.
