The Matrix Resurrections officially rated R for “violence and some language”

October 21, 2021 by Liam Waddington

Ahead of its 22nd December 2021 release date, the fourth instalment in The Matrix franchise, titled The Matrix Resurrections, has been officially rated R for “violence and some language,” according to a recent bulletin issued by the Motion Picture Association.

This R-rating shouldn’t come as a surprise to fans of The Matrix as all three previous instalments – The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, and The Matrix Revolutions – were also rated R for “brief sexuality” and “sci-fi violence.” With all four films in the franchise receiving this age rating, it’s safe to assume The Matrix Resurrections will also feature the series’ signature violent gunfights and hand-to-hand combat sequences.

The Matrix Resurrections is a continuation of the story established in the first MATRIX film. It reunites Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss as cinematic icons Neo & Trinity in an expansion of their story that ventures back into the Matrix and even deeper down the rabbit hole.

A mind-bending new adventure with action and epic scale, it’s set in a familiar yet even more provocative world where reality is more subjective than ever and all that’s required to see the truth is to free your mind.

Twenty years after the first film, the franchise that helped define pop culture at the turn of the century is back for a continuation and extension of the original movie. The Matrix remains in the zeitgeist as a film that has changed the way we look at cinema and reality itself. With its game-changing action and visual effects, The Matrix helped pave the way for films to follow.”

The Matrix Resurrections reunites original stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss alongside Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Aquaman), Jessica Henwick (Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens), Jonathan Groff (Mindhunter), Neil Patrick Harris (Gone Girl), Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Quantico), Christina Ricci (The Addams Family), Telma Hopkins (Dead to Me), Eréndira Ibarra (Sense8), Toby Onwumere (Empire), Max Riemelt (Sense8), Brian J. Smith (Treadstone), and Jada Pinkett Smith (Angel Has Fallen).
