Then, in 2021,The Matrixmovieswere joined byThe Matrix Resurrections.

This totaled four movies with numerous plot holes, but plenty of sci-fi gold alongside.

However, given the series' track record, this seems unlikely.

There is no release date yet forThe Matrix 5, but the movie is already in development.

Zion demonstrated the Wachowskis' cyberpunk sensibility, uniting the rebel stray aesthetic with the futuristic.

However, at one point, Tank commented to Neo thatZion was near the earth’s core.

It’s possible Tank was just being vague, asThe Animatrixreferred to Zion as roughly 4km underground.

In any case, the fictional city makes little sense in real life.

The fusion is never explained, but it’s uncertain how it would amplify human heat.

The Matrix is a sci-fi action franchise that launched with the Wachowskis' 1999 film. It depicts a dystopian future where humanity is unknowingly trapped in a simulated reality by sentient machines. The protagonist, Neo, discovers this truth and that he is “The One,” a being that will lead a rebellion against the machines and restore freedom to humanity.

This ability, which developed in the original trilogy’s final two movies, seemed to make Smith all-powerful.

Despite this, Smith was confirmed not to be omnipotent or omniscient.

Nonetheless, the movies made Smith’s power appear seamless, and only questionable under very close inspection.
