So what was wrong with the end, Will? I thought it was quite neat. The battle in Zion was incredible, as was the ones with Neo and Smith.

The battles were great...... but the whole thing with the machines giving up.
Have you seen the animatrix?
It informs you of all the background behind the machine and human war.
There was nothing to stop the machines from killing the humans. Neo kills smith but dies in the process, so the machines have a open platter to destroy Zion.
After all the @#&% the machines and humans have gone through, it is not very realistic for them to just stop.
Other than the ending, I liked the movie. Some bloody great fight scenes....

It's not a matter of destruction. It's all about being realistic.
After all the effort the machines have gone through to destroy Zion, they finally have it handed to them on a platter. And yet they stop. There is no reason for them to do so.
It was a crappy ending.

To be realistic, the machine would have stayed outside and lobbed nukes in, but that wouldn't have been much fun would it? You can't complain a film about false reality is unrealistic...

There was nothing to stop the machines. Once Neo and Smith died they just left. They could have just as easily destroyed Zion with very little resistance.
These are machines. They aren't just going to stop because they feel sorry for the humans.
That's why I didn't like the ending.

Because they don't have emotions.
The indians were programs. It was part of their programming. I am talking about the sentinels and the core.
Anyway, the machines and humans have been fighting for many many years. A war like that does not just stop and no hard feelings.

What's your theory on how Neo accessed the computers when outside the matrix? I reckon the holes they plug into also offer a kind of wireless connection to the mainframe that only Neo found.

It was to do with Neo been part of the core. He was connected with the machines. And hence connected with the matrix.
I saw a few film reviews of the movie. They said it was crap. I liked the movie. It was just the ending that pissed me off.

I finally got to watch this the other night.
I got the impression that it was the computer entering Neo's body after Smith took HIS body over that actually saves the day, not Neo.
Did anyone else find this?
Then I thought maybe Neo crossed over into the computer - becoming part of the computer - and they defeated Smith together.
Therefore the computer could not re-launch the attack on Zion becuase it was no longer in complete charge of itself!!!!
Any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure the computer kills Neo after Smith has taken him over. Killing him in the real world kills him in the matrix, as it explains in the first film.
You even get a cross of light on him as he dies to save mankind. And people laughed when I said the first one was about Jesus...

Therefore it is the computer that saves itself. Neo was just the vessel the computer used to gain access to Smith.
Kinda makes 'The One' redundant - although by this point Neo is seemingly dead anyway.
I wonder what the outcome would have been if Smith hadn't have been a factor at the end? (I know that is a move ~lol~). Could Neo have been successful?
I was disppointed in the ending, btw.

What was the point of stopping Smith anyway? They say in the movie that he'll spread or some crap, but how the hell is he suppose to spread and be a threat to the machines in the real world? Couldn't they have just formatted the Matrix or something thus killing Smith without Neo's help?
evilwill
Nov 21st, 2003, 8:06 AM
in theory..... yes they could have.
Even though smith can enter the real world, he would be no threat to the machines.
Neo and Smith are exact opposites. When the opposites combined, they cancelled eachother out.

Aaargh NO NO NO! I've heard so many people say that Smith and Neo cancel each other out. They don't. Smith takes over Neo in the Matrix; Smith becomes Neo. Then the machine kills Neo in the real world, killing Smith in the matrix. The machine doesn't take him over, it just kills him.
Smith can enter the machine world, he could take the train. He's a virus that infected the matrix, and could do the same to the computer programs in the real world.
In the Matrix, the machines can only delete programs through their agents. But Smith could defeat these, so he couldn't be stopped by the machines.

Again I ask, why couldn't they just format the Matrix and destroy Smith that way? Yeah it'd make the movie pointless without the big ending fight scene but I would of enjoyed it more. Imagine when Neo is talking to the machine thing and when it agrees it says something like "psyche" and tears Neo apart. Then we see a final showdown between the humans and machines and watch them fight to the death. Que dramatic music as we see the main humans characters fight but eventually die scene.
Maybe before that scene we can be shown one with Seraph and the french guy and his minions trying to battle the Smiths.
I'd rather of seen something like that for an ending then the ****ty one that we were shown :b

i'm trying DarkAce..
Things i wanted to see from the MAtrix Revolutions..The people waking up from their PODS.-fLASHBACKS OF PAST OR FUTURE INCARNATIONS OF neo.
--it may have been too easy but i think after the credits, however it ended, it should have shown Neo at his computer waking up and it saying "follow the white rabbit." like he was having a dream/preminonition of what he was to do and the "real" battle had yet to even begin..
i also think that in Re-loaded when he was in the room with the archetect and he had to choose which way to go, he should have split into two Neo's and went both ways..Smith did it to thousands of himself, Neo couldn't manage 2?
i was just really dissapointed with the 3rd film..However the first one makes up for the endings.

Personally i think if he would have woke up where he was in the first movie and the knock would have come and FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT, that would be a lot better then the sun blaring in our faces and Neo and Trinity being dead with everyone still being trapped in their "pods"
just my opinion-but here are some facts..
SUPERMAN-created in the 6th month of 1938 (1+9+3+8=21,2+1=3) by two JEWISH men named Jerry seigal and Joe Shuster during the first pangs of WW2..sEE THE J&S in both of their names? As in Jesus & Satan.
Supes home planet was Krypton where his namE was Kal-el and his father was Jor-EL..EL IS THE sUMER-hEBREW NAME for God as in IS-RA-EL..ISIS-RA-EL..Krypton is the symbol for Atlantis as well as the ROYAL BURIAL CRYPT OF THE PHARAOH, and was fueled by a red sun..
According to the HISTORY OF THE D.C. UNIVERSE VOLUME #2, THE main god of Krypton WAS NAMED
RA-O. Why is the main god of Krypton an Egyptian sun god with O at the end of his name??
Comes to earth where he lands in smallville and is found by Jonathan and Martha Kent..J.K. & M.K. as in JESUS KNIGHT AND MESSIAH KNIGHT..Supes name becomes Clark Kent or Christ Knight..Superman is a christian crusader!
Gets powers above mortal men by the yellow sun..As in sun god RA.-Goes to work in Metropolis(Necropolis is the birth place of the pharaoh HORUS/OSIRIS.)..bOSS IS Perry WHITE who always says "Great Ceasers Ghost!" Ceaser is the royal bloodline of ROME.--See the 6 L trinity in Lois Lane, Lana Lang and Lex Luthor?? Jimmy Olson is to mean Jesus or Lucifers son.-Fortress of Solitude is in the antartica, another possible home of the fabled "lost Atlantis."--Superman was killed by Doomsday and returned to "life" 3 graphic novels later..
And don't start on Batman..He is the same charater as Superman from a parallel dimension..This is why they look exactly alike and filled in for each other on numerous occasions.-Batman is to represent the CAVES..DRACULA'S BLOODLINE!
nEED MORE EVIDENCE? D.C. COMICS ADDRESS FOR 25 YEARS WAS 666 5TH aVE, ny, ny 10103..Why would a kids comic publisher have a 666 address?? Not only this, but the D.C. comics logo contains 4 inverted pentagrams..The 2 main actors to play Superman was George Reeves (in the 30's&40's) and Christopher Reeves. George is the name of the Sumer-Babylonian king who was credited with defeating the DRAGON in the old days..
King George would later become the basis for the Norse god of Thunder in THOR..sEE THE christ IN cHRISTOPHER?? sEE THE EGYPTIAN SUN GOD RE in the name REEVES?-Or the EVe of Re.
Don't see where i'm coming from because this topic is the Matrix?? Well, Warner Bros, (or the white brotherhood) owns and made both the Superman and Matrix films..ANother Reeves, in Keanu Reeves, was set to play Superman in a new movie but instead opted for the Matrix..Keanus next movie is a D.C. character called HELLBLAZER.
tHE MATRIX was released in 1999 (999 is the Egyptian symbol for gods) by two jewish men in Larry and Andy Wachowski or the initials L.A.W.--The characters are Neo/Keanu Reeves, Trinity/Carrie Ann Moss and Morpheus/Laurence Fishburne.
The main gods in the SUMERIAN PANTHEON WERE THE GODS OF HEAVEN AND EARTH IN KI & AN..See the Ki and An IN kEANU Reeves?? See the An in Carrie Ann Moss?
Laurence Fishburne is to be the two fish of the symbol pisces..The zodiac sign of Chirst.-Also the fact that Keanu Reeves is in the Band DOGSTAR..The Egyptian star of Worship in the DOGSTAR of SIRIUS.
Neo also means Near Earth Orbit, as in the Near Earth Orbit of the ANUNNAKI PLANETX.
Some of the ships they use are the Osiris and the Nebuchadnezzar. Osiris was the Egyptian sun god pharaoh and Neb was the king known to have built the TOWER OF BABEL.
ZION is the name of a key jewish city in the bible and its name means sun.
THE MEROVINGIAN is the name of the Royal bloodline who started the nation of France..They believed that they were the direct decendents of JESUS CHRIST, who didn't die on the cross, and MARY magdelene..This is how FRANCE got started..They also gave us the statue of Liberty which is a symbol of Isis and the torch of knowledge.
The ArchEtect is to represent THE FREEMASON GOD JEBELUM:THE GRAND ARCHETECT OF THE UNIVERSE.
There is much more info i could provide to portray that
NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS..THE MATRIX ITSELF IS PART OF THE MATRIX..There is a deeper symbolic message to some of our "entertaimnment" the we are understanding.
the word hollywood itself comes from Helle wood..The wood that the druids of Stonehenge used in making their magic wands to caste spells..The same as the cast of a hollywood movie.
so am i completely stupid or is there a possability of something else here?-i've got more info if it's needed..:rolleyes2

Aargh! Why does everyone say that the Matrix sequels aren't "metally stimulating"?? In that respect they're at least the equal of the first. They're about the meaning of life, free will vs destiny and what it means to be human. And then there's the whole irony of having to build machines to fight machines, aren't machines always in control?

They arent philisophical in the same sense as the first one. The first one set certain "elements" into place that were (for some) almost unseen afterwards which is typical of series movies. Directors will deviate because they dont want you to feel you are watching the same movie.
The ideas and philosophy of life and its alternatives, humans and machines were explained by Morpheus in the first. In the second, while you learned a little more of it (mostly during scenes with Neo), the story focused more on character plot and the infrastructure of Zion, and a pretty cool love scene.
The third one came back to it in the sense of the war for survival and Neo realizing what it is he must do, but it was part of the story to unfold to be realized and experienced, not to be explained.
I wasnt dissappointed thats for sure. The fight scenes were really fun to watch!

I still think there's way more philosophy in the sequels. That I can think of, there's only two truly philosophical scenes in the first - when Cypher meets the agent and when Neo meets the oracle. In the second and third nearly every other scene has a philosophical discussion.

The biggest dissapointment I had was that the machines were kicking the sh*t out of Zion and then just up and leave. How apocryphal.
All that ending told me was that they left the door open to film more sequals.
It still was a kick ass action flick even with the droll ending.

I dont understand why 95% of the people think the Matrix is "just special effects". Do they only pay attention to the special affects scene?!?!
