# 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.

## The numbers

- **Total:** 9 hours 11 minutes
- **In hours:** 9.2 hours
- **Non-stop:** 0.4 days without sleeping
- **Covers:** 4 films
- **At a realistic pace:** a film a night
- **That works out as:** about 4 days

## What this assumes

Four theatrical films at their running times. The Animatrix is excluded.
