How long does it take to watch The Matrix films?

How long to watch The Matrix films
about 9 hours 11 minutes
4 films

The four Matrix films run 9 hours 11 minutes, close enough to the Lord of the Rings theatrical trilogy to make a direct comparison tempting. The second and third films were shot back to back and released seven months apart in 2003, so they function as one 267-minute film split in two. Resurrections arrived eighteen years later and is the longest of the four at 148 minutes. The Animatrix, a nine-part animated anthology, adds another 89 minutes and covers material the films assume.
