The new film is a reflection of society and its current relationship with technology. As the world has evolved, so does the way we depend on the tools and resources that can be used to connect us.

Eighteen years have passed since the last installment, The Matrix Reloaded, and now there will be a whole new generation of filmgoers who will be introduced to the world of the Matrix through this new chapter. Moss explains why she wants them to have their own perception of what it all means rather than imposing her thoughts as a character within the film.

“I’m more interested in what they might think or feel,” she shared. “I’m curious, but I’m not looking to import anything on them. Instead, I’d like to receive what the conversations or the ideas around it might be or the reactions to [the film].”

For Reeves, the sentiments are the same and he says that their return to the set was everything that he expected it would be.

“It was wonderful, I loved every minute of it,” said Reeves.

The Matrix Resurrections premieres in theaters and will be available for streaming on HBO Max starting December 22.
