1. How did Neo defeat agent Smith?
Um, he and Trinity flew to the machine city (01) and Neo spoke to the Deus Ex Machina which was this big machine with a face made of sentinel-like things. He told them that Smith would destroy the Matrix and only he (Neo) could stop it. The machines agreed to end the war if Neo succeeded. He was jacked in by the machines and met up with Smith who had inhabited pretty much every single person/program in the Matrix, up to and including the Oracle. They got into a huge brawl spanning city streets, abandoned buildings, and zero gravity. Finally Neo succumbs to Smith and Smith infects him. The machines read the virus/Smith code and quickly determine how to destroy it/him and all the Smiths explode in white light and become the people they once were. I'm basing some of this on my interpretations.



I interpreted this slightly differently. The machines knew that if Smith was not stopped, he would spread into ALL machines, not just the matrix. Kinda like if you have a firewall, but some motherfu(%#er with a laptop plugs into your LAN and infects your whole network with msblast. Once Neo was no longer standing in his way, Smith would essentially destroy both worlds.

This doesn't make much sense, as I don't think that realistically machines would care about that. They have no motivations other than survival, and the overwriting of their "firmware" by Smith doesn't affect their survival at all.

Anyhow, Neo defeated Smith by not defeating him. He realized that beating Smith wouldn't help, because there are a zillion other Smiths. The Oracle told Neo that Smith is his opposite - he is the equasion attempting to balance itself out. Recall that when Smith takes over a body, he becomes the sum of himself and that body, which is how he was able to know about Sati's cookie conversation, and the Oracle's "everything that has a beginning has an end" speech. Basic math tells us that the sum of anything and its opposite is 0. By taking over Neo, he became 0, which allowed the machines to finally remove him from the equasion.

3. How did Neo destroy/stop all the sentanals outside the matrix?
I don't believe this is clear. He uses this ability even more in the real world in the movie.


I stand by my "EMP built into the body" theory, a slightly modified version anyway... Neo was manufactured by the machines for the sole purpose of control. Because of this, he HAD to have been designed differently from everyone else - I believe he was built with hardware capable of wireless matrix access. Technically this is all that he needed to issue self-destruct commands to the sentinels. This also is how he ended up in the train station and matrix without a hardline.

What disappoints me, however, is that we have to speculate. This should have been answered in Revolutions.

5. Does the Matrix get destroyed?
Unclear. The architect talks to the Oracle (who is the mother of the matrix) at the very end and mentions something about freeing the "others", but I don't know if that's all humans or what. Blazer thinks that since the war is over, he will free all humans who are essentially POWs.



The Oracle and the Architect (who never did meet Neo again, hehe), in the last scene of the film, discuss the future of the matrix. Obviously the machines can't survive without the humans in the matrix. Obviously, there is no "peace" as long as the humans are kept against their will. They discussed freeing "the others," and I interpret that to mean that those who want out of the matrix can get out without all the hassle. The people that are unaware of the matrix and are perfectly happy within it will remain.

Also, you should notice that in this scene, which takes place in the matrix, it is missing its green tinge.

6. Does Morphious get the girl?
Pretty much. No kissing or anything, but their old memories and some trying experiences draw them back together.



I don't know about this. They definitely go through an ordeal together, but it's very unclear as to whether or not they'll get back together romantically. Anyway, who cares!? This was not a story about the relationship between Niobe and Morpheus.

7. What happens to the Archatech?
We see him at the end. I don't remember a lot of what they talked about. Maybe someone else can fill this in.



The architect sulks off. He is obviously upset at the way things went down, because it means he failed. He must, however, abide by the peace agreement, and he hates it.

9. What happens to the guy that Agent Smith takes over in the real world?
This was awesome. He wakes up around the time Neo gets out of the Merovingian's hold, and the actor talked and acted JUST like Hugo Weaving.


I thought about this... The way he/Smith spoke is pretty much how you would expect a machine with AI to speak. Very well spoken, each word carefully selected and extremely deliberate. No "uh"s or "um"s, as machines don't make mistakes like that. Perfect diction, verbose accuracy, and well thought out sentences are exactly what you'd expect.

10. How is the battle between the the mechwarrors and the sentanals?
Awesome. Smile Zion put up one hell of a fight.


The Zion battle scene was one of the most visually stunning things I've ever seen on screen. It was even better than the Smith/Neo showdown (although there's a slo-mo punch by Neo that's pretty damn kewl too).

I do believe this one sets it up for a fourth film, also you dont see Neo die, you just see him being taken away by a machine..



It is not made clear if Neo dies or not, BUT... At the end when we see the code of Neo being dragged away in the "Christ on the cross" position, he is all orange, just like he saw Bane and the rest of the machines, meaning he is all code (or machine) now.
