The upcoming fourth Matrix movie, The Matrix Resurrections, has authoritatively been rated R for “violence and language.” The Matrix, which was released in 1999, was directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski and turned into a huge cultural wonder, spawning two continuations. The Wachowski’s returned to direct the two continuations, The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, the two of which were released in 2003.
According to a new article from Collider, the Action Picture Association has formally given The Matrix Resurrections a R-rating for “violence and some language.” This rating places the film in line with the previous three Matrix movies, which were all likewise rated R for violence and language, with the subsequent film additionally featuring a brief simulated intercourse.
Considering the degree of violence ordinarily found in the Matrix films, the R rating isn’t necessarily a surprise, however it will probably come as a relief to enthusiasts of the original trilogy who need to see the franchise’s signature activity make a return. Beside a couple of brief impressions, the new trailer for Resurrections doesn’t part with a lot in terms of what’s in store from the film’s activity, yet in the event that previous entries are anything to pass by, there will be a great arrangement of hand-to-hand battle and slow-movement gunfights. While the activity scenes in the Matrix spin-offs are arguably somewhat less gritty and visceral than those of the first film, the sluggish movement successions do now and then make the violence a lot easier to see and there are periodic wicked injuries portrayed on-screen.
Resurrections receiving a R rating is at last totally ideal for the film. As has been seen with other film franchises, like Die Hard and The Expendables, taking movies that are known for their hard R-rated approach to violence and language and afterward toning it down to a PG-13 for resulting spin-offs generally doesn’t agree with fans. Normally, a move from R to PG-13 is put forth in an attempt to attract younger moviegoers, in any case, as the Matrix franchise is over twenty years old now, a great deal of younger crowds may not be completely interested in the new film at any rate. Plus, as has been displayed with Deadpool, Logan, and Joker, R-rated movies can in any case be ridiculously effective in the cinema world. The Matrix Resurrections releases all the while in theaters and on HBO Max on December 22 of this current year.
