what rh said.
there aren't multiple matrix's.
rather neo is THE one and tapped into the world of machines. it will be explained in a zen kind of thing.
in the third one- the agent smith virus has duplicated itself so much that the matrix is overrun by them (ie hardly, if any, normal humans left).
agent smith will no doubt play an important role in the grand scheme of things- rather then someone just to fight.
the architect wasn't telling the whole truth.
your heard it here first! *geek spasm*

I don't know what will happen in the next one, but the fact that he's been there before i think means that to be productive batteries humans need to have hope, and to do that they need to think they can win, so the machines let them build up zion as a symbol of hope then destroy it and let them start again. Just like the porn in 1984, big brother would distribute porn but under the guise of it being underground and illegal, so people would think they were rebelling against big brother when it fact big brother was controlling that rebellion. They're were a bunch of lovely similarities between george orwell and phillip k dick's ideas in that last 5mins of the matrix, kinda of made up for that wack sex scene thing... kind of.

Nobody stayed through the credits?
They showed a preview for the 3rd movie.
Smith is now in a human body, in Zion and outside as the old Smith, and battles Neo for control of the Matrix. Neo also has the power to rewrite the Matrix to some degree.

I stayed but didn’t notice that part. That would reaffirm my assumption in regards to the Matrix.

did anyone else notice that part? i didn't stay but i'll see it again (or sneak in again) if it's true.

i watched the preview, but what i saw was smith and neo in the matrix, not in the 'real' world...i missed any part of smith being in zion... (??)

i saw the preview after the looong credits. anyway, i saw smith and neo fight while they were being watched by other smiths. yeah, i think theylle battle for the matrix.
i think the ending (3rd part/revolutions) would be something like the ending of tomb raider 1. that sucks. anyway, im really excited to watch matrix 3

quamb is correct. no second matrix. in fact, the architect pretty much states this. if there is a second matrix, he is dumb to its existance, or is not being truthful. the movie on its own, however, does not present this idea to us, so we should not assume so.
in terms of religious teachings, look to the idea of siddartha and bhudda, nirvana involves the white light neo mentioned regarding the core. that might explain why he now has the capability to use his powers in the "real" world. furthermore, remember the orphan sending neo the spoon, it is bent and mangled. the laws of reality can be bent and broken just like the laws of a computer system. there is no spoon.
furthermore, there is the idea of the bhodisatva, the one who does not achieve nirvana in order to save others. matrix is a fairly philosophically complex movie, some lines even directly quote scripture "i have dreamed a dream, but now that dream is gone from me." see nebuchadnezzer's dream and daniel.
also of not keanu reeves played bhudda in some movie a while before, little bhudda i believe. to anyone who's seen the movie once, i suggest a second watch. it is not all that complex, but more becomes clearer quite quickly, and the movie is not as confusing as it might appear to be at first.
it is merely... an unexpected... continuation of the story.

Quamby's right.
He's got the goods.

for the third matrix, all they're gonna do is fade into a screen with dripping green text that says
" The Matric: Recursive"
and then its gonna play the first one.

I think the movie is actually a documentary but no one has taken it seriously. As for me I am finding out how to put my name in the waiting list to be unplugged :)

so i finally saw this last night...
all i can say is they took a very good movie and a good concept and totally f**cked it up. if i was an editor of this movie, i'd have pulled out about 30-45 minutes of the totally useless filler that was thrown in for, i have no idea what reasons: the zion celebration, the sex scene, and especially the conversation with the architect and his use of the word 'ergo'....twice... i couldn't help but cringing...

i agree 100000%, mitsu. those scenes are senseless. plus the scene of the kiss with that girl... so stupid..

I havent even seen it, heard its shit. It be called the Jaws2 effect.
Its a shame they had to go make sequels. The first ones ending was perfect, left room for the imagination, but it was also a one dimensional conclusion which put you at ease. The end.. Not to be continued. Leave it!

the whole big theory behind it is to *magically* pull the cash out of your pockets..
but
i liked it too.
don't worry - pt3 will do the thinking for you

agreed mitsu, this movie sucked ass!
HUGE disappointment.
:p

My 2 cents - Like the third matrix idea. But it's too predictable.
Perhaps Neo is merging with the machines, becoming something new all together? Like Smith, only in reverse.

actually, I think when he kissed that girl she passed some software on to him that would allow him to control machines outside of the matrix... kind of the way that guy put the software in the cake that chick was eating (i can't remember any of the characters names!). I thought the second movie was pretty good, not as good as the first. The sex scene was pretty damned pointless though.
- Warland0
- Like that TFS.
PS - Can't understand why any man wouldn't want to kiss Monica Belluci.
