I enjoyed the movie, but that doesn’t mean much coming form me I’m able to find enjoyment in just about any movie. I would give the movie a perfect 10 except for the fact I think the final fight scene was way to long. It could have been just as good if Neo and Smith didn’t fight in the air (My opinion). I think at sometime it worked, but at other times Keanu Reeves acting is just horrible. The positive side of Keanu acting is it adds some comedy to the movie. After evaluating all aspects of the movie I would give it a 9.7, but again I’m easily pleased.
I will answer the questions as I understand them. Neo was able to defeat Agent Smith by sacrificing himself. The Oracle said Neo and Agent Smith balanced the equation. This makes sense because over the three movies Neo would advance his strengths and then Agent Smith would evolve. If Neo dies Smith no longer has purpose and seizes to exist. I’m not sure why the copies of Smith turned back, but I would guess he was just a string of code inside each program (person). When Smith died his string of code inside everyone became obsolete (thinking about it in a program mind the main method was no longer calling the field) in the other copies of him and returned to the original form. I don’t want to go too far into depth about Neo being carried off, but I think Neo is supposed to symbolize Christ. Christ sacrificed himself for humanity just like Neo did in the movie. I’m not very religious so I might get this part wrong, but if I remember correct Jesus was carried off by angles into the sky after he died just like Neo was taken off by the robots. Please tell me your opinions on what I just said. I don’t think there will be another Matrix unless someone gets greedy. I do think Neo is dead at the end, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he is resurrected.
I’m not sure what will happen to the Matrix, but I don’t think they will take everyone out because not everyone is ready to give up their surroundings. I have mixed feelings about this because I think it might symbolize how fake the world is. This link might explain what I’m trying to say a little better. Link
I won’t comment on the face of the robots to much yet, but EXO explanation sounds good for me. I will have to watch Reloaded and Revolution again, but I think the architect in side the Matrix and the head honcho of the robots might be linked.
