Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss and co-creator Lana Wachowski all return to the sci-fi and action-heavy world of the Matrix in "The Matrix Resurrections" from Warner Bros pictures. KSL's Andy Farnsworth says the very nature of the "Matrix" universe allows for the series to be rebooted in a believable manner, but the movie can be a little too self-aware at times. However, most fans should be satisified.
