We’ll Pay You $1K to Watch the Matrix

Watch Keanu Reeves in all his glory—and make $1,000 while you’re at it!

It’s been almost 20 years since we last saw Keanu Reeves save the world as Neo. With the release of The Matrix Resurrections on December 22, we’re just as excited as everyone else to see the crew back in action after their hiatus!

To celebrate the return of The Matrix, EasyTechJunkie wants to pay one person to watch all four movies—and we’ll pay them $1,000 to do it. With just under 10 hours of film to watch, that comes out to $100 an hour!
