The character Morpheus appears on screen with an extended display of the red pill and blue pill during the first shared reality screening of the movie “The Matrix” on an immersive dome screen inside Cosm Los Angeles at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California on May 28, 2025. A trenchcoat-wearing Neo bends backwards to dodge bullets that spiral over the viewer’s head, as the sound of gunfire erupts from everywhere: an industry desperate to bring back audiences is hoping a new immersive experience will be a red pill moment that will get film fans off their couches. That’s the bet of the Cosm theater in Los Angeles, whose dome-style screen and 3D sets launch this month (June) with what they are calling a “shared reality’ version of “The Matrix,” the cult 1999 film starring Keanu Reaves as a man who suddenly learns his world is a fiction.
