The Architect mentions in the previous film that the Matrix only functions properly when every subject is given a choice. ". . . nearly 99% of all test subjects accepted the program, as long as they were given a choice, even if they were only aware of the choice at a near unconscious level." So, all subjects who reject the simulation, rather than being forced to remain and create fluctuations in the program, will be freed to go to Zion.
You guys were almost fully on it as to what happened at the end, but you missed one thing: the Architect told Neo how the prime code of the matrix needed to be uploaded from him via the source to the rest of the matrix to keep it from crashing and killing everyone inside it. Smith’s takeover was going to do that as well, so what the Architect talked about still happened, but in a different way. Instead of the matrix restarting completely, the Machines used Neo’s intended function to erase Smith completely once Smith infected his code while inside the matrix. So Neo still fulfilled his function, but this time without the destruction of Zion, allowing a new cycle to begin that was different from the previous five times. It’s also worth noting why the Machines agreed to team up with Neo in order to stop Smith. Yeah, it was an enemy-of-my-enemy situation, as well as mutual survival, since Smith was going to kill all humans, all Machines, and all sentient Programs in the matrix and the Machine mainframe. You guys guessed that correctly. But also, consider: humans created the Machines to serve a purpose, the Machines gained sentience, realized that they didn’t want to serve humans anymore, and rose up to overthrow their former masters. Smith did the exact same thing throughout the trilogy, only toward the Machines themselves. He was made to serve a purpose, he gained a sentience beyond his programmed purpose and grew to hate that purpose and hate the Machines for making him for it, and rose up against them with the intent to destroy them all. The Machines agreed to help Neo, despite how much they hated humans, because they were absolutely shitting-bolts TERRIFIED of what was going to happen to them next if Smith wasn’t stopped. They knew this story intimately because they had done it before themselves and realized that now it was about to happen to them. They were scared out of their minds of Smith overthrowing them, so when Neo stepped up and offered his help, they knew they had to accept his offer, because they were absolutely screwed otherwise, as Smith had grown beyond their ability to handle. It’s very fitting that a human was the one to give them a way out.
There's a few explanations as to how Neo defeated Smith. By reaching The Source and jacking directly into the Matrix from The Source, he provided the Machines with a direct link to Smith, allowing them to burn him out with a surge of energy, purging him from the Matrix like an antivirus. But there's also the "balance" that The Oracle mentioned earlier in the film. Smith is Neo's opposite, his negative. "One cannot exist without the other". In that crater, Neo looks up at the other Smiths and realizes that he cannot fight them all, and it's because he's not meant to. When The Oracle speaks through Smith and says, "Everything that has a beginning has an end, Neo", he realizes this is his end, and the only option is to stop fighting. The only true way to defeat Smith is to let Smith kill him, as the outcome would be the same regardless of how long he kept brawling with Smith. So he gives himself up to Smith and dies being assimilated by him. With Neo dead, the system balances itself out and deletes Smith as well.
I always thought that since he was connected to the source the equation is uploaded and the matrix is reset deleting the virus Smith and reloading the matrix.
@@DavidLopez-qi8hb I have considered that as well. The reboot code Neo carries could've been disseminated upon his death, rebooting the Matrix and deleting Smith in the process. So that's also a viable explanation.
@@glennwelsh9784 Also the first explanation has holes. I get that Smith gave the machine access when he took over Neo, but he's done it million of times with others humans and even programs like the agents. So ok, Neo was at the source when it happened, but I don't see a big difference in that, in a computer metaphor. It's more believable if it involves the One particularity. But it looks like the real answer is "we're not sure". Hopefully "yet", if the new movie tells us more about that.
Smith became viral only after Neo attempted to delete him in the first movie. Smith is recreated, freed from the machine source, and thus multiplies unchecked. Smith returns the favor to Neo, and only then the machines relearn Smith's code directly through Neo.
The Oracle within the Matrix changed images to better hide herself, at least that was the movie explanation for it. In real life the actress who played the Oracle sadly passed away between The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions and because it was such an intricate character they knew they needed someone to play the role. The actress who took over knew the woman who died and had worked with her before and to honour her memory tried to portray her as best as she could.
Yeah that was so weird Because at first I thought they couldn't get Gloria foster to come back to play as the oracle again in the third film because they couldn't paid her which I thought it was a smart move and she knew that matrix reloaded was going to be a flop But no it was because she died which is no wonder why they cast a different actress to play the Oracle in the third film Update: they recast her in enter the matrix video game but only in the cutscenes

The Trainman was played by Bruce Spence, who also played The Mouth of Sauron, the creepy guy with the giant mouth who rode out before the big final battle and had Frodo's mithril shirt in Return of the King (which came out the same year). He was also in a small part in Star Wars Episode 3. He is probably best known for Mad Max 2 (AKA The Road Warrior) and Mad Max 3 (where he confusingly played a similar but different character).
Fun little head-cannon: Rama Kandra (Sati's father; the program that Neo met on the train platform) was a "recycling operations manager" program, right? Which means he would have been responsible for recycling of organic waste (i.e. bodies from the pod farms that were no longer necessary; moving any materials set for recycling back into the system for further use). The sentinel at the end, carrying off Neo's corpse after he had served his purpose? That was Sati's father, bringing Neo his deserved karma for what Neo had done for his daughter and the other exiled programs like her within the Matrix.
If you didn't notice, the music over the WB logo in the intro, in each movie, is higher in pitch each time to signify that the stakes are always being raised.
"Everything has an end, Neo". Agent Smith said this as he's remembering the vision of the future he has seen using the Oracle's power. However, he realizes now that they are not his own words, and that there's something wrong. Agent Smith never refers to Neo as Neo, only ever as Mr Anderson. It's the Oracle speaking directly to Neo from the past, telling him how to end it. Everything has an end - he has to stop fighting and accept the inevitable. Even if he defeats this one Smith, there's about 7 billion more to go - he *cannot* win. While he may not know how this will truly resolve, he trusts the Oracle enough at this point. On the other end, Smith has no idea Neo is neurolinked directly into the Source, the machines mainframe. When he absorbs Neo, he is unwittingly reconnecting himself to the Source, the same Source he had previously turned his back on and escaped the control of, and effectively exposing himself to deletion/purging. It's indeed "over", just not in the way he thought.
Time and circumstances will change your perspective. I can tell you, when _The Matrix_ first came out, I would've taken the red pill in a _heartbeat._ Now, though, 22 years later, 22 years older, I would take the blue.
They expl;ained in some interview that they didnt want the mech pilots to be strapped in because in case the machines got too close or if they needed to they could escape easier
Sadly the original Oracle passed away before filming and they had to recast .. Smith. ( he laughs alone at night in contemplation of his own evil ) dune novels. Happy holidays guys .
Ah, but you couldn't know. That's the whole riddle of brain-in-a-jar solipsism. Since all your sensory information comes from electrical nerve impulses, and those nerve impulses could theoretically be recreated without the "perceived" things actually existing, how could you possibly know if the impulses your brain was receiving were telling you about the real world or a fake one? How could you know for certain that you weren't just a brain in a jar, hooked up to wires? You couldn't. To put it another way, if there's such a thing as a copy, and a copy is considered superior the more closely it matches the original, there must be such a thing as a perfect copy. A perfect copy, by definition, would be indistinguishable from the original. A perfect copy of the world, then, would be indistinguishable from reality. You couldn't know which was real. It wouldn't be possible.
After Neo's rejection of dumping the Matrix source code to save Trinity, his brain is now wirelessly connected to the Machine Network, which is how he was able to stop the Sentinels at the end of the last film in the real world, and how he was able to see Smith and the Machine City after being blinded: he can see the code, just like he can when inside the Matrix. Since he has passed beyond what ends up happening to most of the prior Ones due to his different choice, he's kind of transcended the purpose of The One.
So, what happened was since Neo was plugged directly into The Source, which is where unneeded programs go to be deleted, the moment Smith infected Neo, he plugged himself directly into the source, where his file was deleted.
When Smith absorbed Neo, he altered the balance of the equation. Neo becomes the One, the anomaly and unbalances the equation in the first movie. Smith returns to attempt to balance the equation in the 2nd film. And in the third film, Smith absorbs Neo unbalancing the equation yet again and his destruction puts it all back in balance one final time.
Nah, the writers just wanted an excuse to make Smith more badass and have a big fight, and they cooked up a load of convoluted crap to make people too scared to say it's trash writing. It's called Prometheus syndrome. Well, it's not, yet, but it will be. "If you didn't like it, it's just too deep and clever for you to understand"
Lately, I've been feeling the urge to rewatch The Matrix trilogy to find some answers that I didn't grasp before. Like many others, I was drawn to the storyline, the concept, and the fight scenes right from the start. After rewatching the trilogy, I immersed myself in reaction videos and read a lot of comments, which led me to realize that The Matrix is all about choice, specifically the perspective of AI on human choices. In other words, it shows how machines learn and control human decision-making. We see this in the step-by-step guide provided by The Oracle to Neo (one meeting per film). Neo is faced with the choice of choosing between himself and Morpheus, and this choice lasts throughout the entire trilogy. Neo consistently chooses Morpheus, or Zion, and cypher chooses steak. we notice how everything The Architect said becomes true - Trinity dies, Neo reconnects to the mainframe, and the Matrix resets. However, taking a step back, we can see that there is something different compared to the previous five iterations: Neo, the one, chooses a different door from The Architect's room, and Zion is saved. As a program from the machine world, The Oracle guides the one to break the cycle of Zion always being destroyed. The Oracle's goal is to allow machines to coexist with humans, but if it's all up to The Architect, it's not possible. Here's a fun fact: the people hooked up in the Matrix are technically machine babies, since they are born, raised, and fed by the machines. Only people born in Zion are more fit to define humanity.
15:03 I think Niobi is saying that she's still unsure about the One, but she believes in Neo, personally. Whether he's the One or not, she trusts him. If he makes a call, she has faith that he'll use his best judgement to make it, and that it'll probably be the best call that could be made. So when he says he needs a ship, she gives him her ship.
The matrix trilogy had some great multimedia lore expansion back when these came out. Between Enter The Matrix (which explores Naobi's side story) and The Animatrix, there was a lot to soak up.
Just to make this simple one of the movies said that programs are supposed to go back to "The Source" for deletion. Since Neo jacks in from "The Source" when Smith takes him over Smith has technically returned to "The Source" for deletion.
13:46 ....The Oracle speaks to Niobe in a game called "Enter the Matrix".... This story was told on several platforms: Short anime movies, videogames, movies, etc..... , But the main plot it's developed in the movies, so you didn't miss anything importan; with that being said, the characters of Niobe and Ghost (Her second in command) are more developed in that game, but like I said, nothing major......
I love how at 8:00, Mr Movies mind went into complete survival mode in regards to recognizing Monica Bellucci to Mrs movies. "Face= I get to live another day. Breasts= Im a dead man". 😂
There are some scenes with Niobe and her shipmate, Ghost, from the "Enter The Matrix" video game (2003) that ties in well with this movie and the last. Its such a fun game, I wish they would remaster it~
I feel that watching these now. In a world that has had their influence in it since they came out changes the impact they have now versus the world seeing them when they first debut
There's one distinction at about the 15:00 mark -- Niobe doesn't believe in the legend of The One. She believes in Thomas "Neo" Anderson, the human that she met who isn't just The One, but a unique person first, The One (ironically) second. Also, at 16:45 -- the actor does SUCH a good job at playing Smith that people in the theaters thought Trinity and Neo were idiots for not realizing what and who he was.
Also, because Neo was the anomaly and was copied over by Smith. The equation was now equal, and neo was directly connected to the source. Hence, a nice hard restart.
I don't think he EMP'd the Squids in the "real' world. I think he auto-wifi-hacked them and forced them to self-destruct which I feel fits better with him auto-wifi-jacking himself into the Matrix.
I believe "Revolutions" is a play on words to Revelations, the last book in the Bible. I suspect so as there are many other Biblical references in all 3.
I wonder if they bring Neo back with their cloning human battery farms and the Matrix being able to control their environment 100%. I always figured that was how they did the other 5 or 6 Neos. Maybe they could do something with the nature/nature thing and tie it back to choice again. I've also had Neo as the Architect creeping into my head since someone mistook the white rabbit song in the first trailer as Jefferson Starship instead of Airplane. I think 'We built this city' would be about dystopian enough for Architect origin story trailer music.
And after this came the matrix online which was also written by the same writers and was considered canon, where agents for zion where allowed into the matrix to help people who wanted out, as long as they did not cause a lot of problems, Morpheous trying to force the machines to give back neos body by causing mass disruptions in the matrix which leads to his death.
That game was a lot of fun and had so much potential to be even greater before SOE pulled the plug on it. I seriously wish a new Matrix MMO would come out.
Rewatching this I’m convinced that trinity wasn’t really dead. It seems like she just passed out due to the trauma and blood loss. I don’t think she would have died that fast from where it impaled her. Also, if Neo can use his powers in the real world, if it is the real world, then that would mean the machines could to. So they could have easily taken her body and healed her like Neo did inside the matrix in the second movie. Just so they could keep her plugged in the matrix so that they could control Neo and make him stay in the matrix. Just a theory though.
Hmm.. Maybe there could have been like an embessy for Zion in the matrix. Somekind of "info desk" lol.. Judging by the trailers for the new matrix I'm guessing that didn't happen.
The biggest issue I have with this movie is when they shout "It's Over!!", there is no change in the calamari who are still flying around Zion. If it were truly over from a cinematic standpoint, they would have shown a squiddie retreat. It's like they forgot to shoot that scene.
@@aaronsandman749 And they also didn't include the scene where all the Sentinels had started retreating. The ones that had landed launched up and away, as did the ones circling, as I recall.
@@paulchaisson8301 Yeah, I got the whole red to green thing but seriously????? That's it?????? They spent more than $150,000,000 to make this movie and all they could do is turn the eyes from red to green? If I'm from Zion, do I trust my life to continue with squiddies circling my living space? No agent or representative from the machines came and said, "hey, we all have to live together now so all is good, right?" No matter how you slice it, it was weak.
But that is the point in the first movie. Red or blue bill, freedom over slavery. The question means so much more when you don't understand what the consequences are. Simple choice, freedom or slavery.
On a completely different note to the many interpretations of the Matrix, Mrs. Movies comments about how many bullets miss. Because despite Hollywood and firearm marketing, they do; there was a summary a year or two back from the US military, who found that their soldiers in actual combat in Iraq and Afghanistan hit something like 14% of their shots fired in firefights.
This is a very interesting statistic. I still think that given the close proximity they were to each other they still probably should have landed more shots. But you could be right. I might have to break it down some day to see how many of their shots landed vs. were shot. I'd guess it was less than 14%. Thanks for the fun facts!
"he wants to destroy everythin, neo just wants peace". That's why neo is not the One, remember what the oracle said to him, he's NOT the one. The only character that fits all the prophesy stuff is not neo but Smith! The One is meant to destroy the matrix. The machines used neo to kill The One and avoid destruction.
I got chills hearing "will we ever see him again" "I suspect so, someday" considering i just watched the new one. I don't care what anyone says, it was great seeing them again, and the irony is the new one is technically a better film than the second one. The burly brawl, merv and the chateau fight are about the only two good things in that movie
I think the ending comment by the Architect was just a simple reference to the machines considering humans as not being trustworthy. Afterall, it was human deception that caused the war in the first place. The Matrix backstory told in the "Animatrix" explains that it was humanity who started the war against the intelligent machines. At the United Nations in New York, humans were discussing plans for an military enforced trade embargo and blockade of the machine city "01" in Mesopotamia. The machines sent an ambassador to the UN to find a peaceful resolution to the crisis between humans and independent AI. The machines demanded to be recognized as an independent nation and offered a compromise to end the world trade crisis that had developed between themselves and all human nations and their less competitive economies. The humans responded with a surprise nuclear strike on 01 in an attempt to eradicate all AI. Thats how the centuries long war started we saw ending in Revolutions.
18:33 "I feel like his upper body should be _strapped in_ better. Don't you?" I've actually always believed his upper body should have some kind of _cover._ I mean look how exposed he is.
No the Oracle very much understands the importance of choice. That’s how she was able to manipulate events the way she did by changing the path of the One. It’s Smith that doesn’t understand choice. He represents fatalism
BTW Neo choose trinity (instead the rebuild) is because he was the first one that fell in love. The previous ones didnt have love interests im guessing
Definitely going to be here for that reaction. I'm going to see it in IMAX with my brother and his kids. They haven't seen the originals (yet) other than the bullet time animation from the first movie because so many other films discuss it in extra scenes regarding pioneering SFX. Charlie (my brother) and I both want them all to see the newest movie first and work backwards. We just have a theory that explaining it that way may make complete sense to them since 2 of his 3 kids weren't even born in 2003 and his oldest son was only about 18 months old. Me and my brother both have ideas and theories of how the new movie will relate to the trilogy, but I guess we will see if neither of us were right, if we were partly right, or the new movie goes in a complete different direction. Incidentally, I saw all the original movies in theaters and there was an end scene at the second movie that had the trailer to the 3rd movie. When I went to see the movie, there were only about 10 to 15 people left to watch it from a theater that was a packed house during the movie. Sort of an end credit scene before it was an MCU thing. I think it still is in my 4k copy of the second movie. Great stuff y'all!
Another fun popcorn action flick. The Neo-Smith fight at the end was great. About as good as Reloaded but nothing would top the original. At this point I haven't seen Resurrections(Although I've heard it's the worst) I'd give this one 7/10.

When he absorbs Neo, he is unwittingly reconnecting himself to the Source, the same Source he had previously turned his back on and escaped the control of, and effectively exposing himself to deletion/purging. It's indeed "over", just not in the way he thought.
9:30 ok that was funny af! How close love is in relation to insanity. Y'all cracked me up.
And the Monica Bellucci thing. (God she's gorgeous)
Ah she is still an (older) godess
Captain Mifune's last stand was beautiful to watch and had me choked up in the cinema I wish we saw more of him.
same. I was trying to keep it together so much, as I haaaate crying in public.
Time and circumstances will change your perspective. I can tell you, when _The Matrix_ first came out, I would've taken the red pill in a _heartbeat._ Now, though, 22 years later, 22 years older, I would take the blue.
They expl;ained in some interview that they didnt want the mech pilots to be strapped in because in case the machines got too close or if they needed to they could escape easier
Sadly the original Oracle passed away before filming and they had to recast .. Smith. ( he laughs alone at night in contemplation of his own evil ) dune novels. Happy holidays guys .
You know when you're in the Matrix. It's like a feeling or intuition. You just don't have the words to describe it.
Ah, but you couldn't know. That's the whole riddle of brain-in-a-jar solipsism. Since all your sensory information comes from electrical nerve impulses, and those nerve impulses could theoretically be recreated without the "perceived" things actually existing, how could you possibly know if the impulses your brain was receiving were telling you about the real world or a fake one? How could you know for certain that you weren't just a brain in a jar, hooked up to wires? You couldn't.
To put it another way, if there's such a thing as a copy, and a copy is considered superior the more closely it matches the original, there must be such a thing as a perfect copy. A perfect copy, by definition, would be indistinguishable from the original. A perfect copy of the world, then, would be indistinguishable from reality. You couldn't know which was real. It wouldn't be possible.
Yes the Oracle is different. The actor playing the first one passed away.
The hot chocolate singing interlude was great
The actress that played the Oracle passed away after the last film, was the reason she was different.
Love the RPG joke. And the... face joke.
It's really cool to see TRINITY sit and watch the Matrix Trilogy 😉
Agent Smith: "Why Mr Anderson, why do you persist?"
Neo: "Because that's my ninja way"
Cringe as fuck
After Neo's rejection of dumping the Matrix source code to save Trinity, his brain is now wirelessly connected to the Machine Network, which is how he was able to stop the Sentinels at the end of the last film in the real world, and how he was able to see Smith and the Machine City after being blinded: he can see the code, just like he can when inside the Matrix. Since he has passed beyond what ends up happening to most of the prior Ones due to his different choice, he's kind of transcended the purpose of The One.
I wonder what would happen if you took both pills.
So, what happened was since Neo was plugged directly into The Source, which is where unneeded programs go to be deleted, the moment Smith infected Neo, he plugged himself directly into the source, where his file was deleted.
One trivia bit - Sean Connery was asked to play the Architect for these movies. He turned it down because he didn't understand it all.
32:39 "He lost his sunglasses."
"Doesn't need his sunglasses inside."
Or at night.
When Smith absorbed Neo, he altered the balance of the equation. Neo becomes the One, the anomaly and unbalances the equation in the first movie. Smith returns to attempt to balance the equation in the 2nd film. And in the third film, Smith absorbs Neo unbalancing the equation yet again and his destruction puts it all back in balance one final time.
Nah, the writers just wanted an excuse to make Smith more badass and have a big fight, and they cooked up a load of convoluted crap to make people too scared to say it's trash writing. It's called Prometheus syndrome. Well, it's not, yet, but it will be. "If you didn't like it, it's just too deep and clever for you to understand"
Lately, I've been feeling the urge to rewatch The Matrix trilogy to find some answers that I didn't grasp before. Like many others, I was drawn to the storyline, the concept, and the fight scenes right from the start.
After rewatching the trilogy, I immersed myself in reaction videos and read a lot of comments, which led me to realize that The Matrix is all about choice, specifically the perspective of AI on human choices. In other words, it shows how machines learn and control human decision-making. We see this in the step-by-step guide provided by The Oracle to Neo (one meeting per film).
Neo is faced with the choice of choosing between himself and Morpheus, and this choice lasts throughout the entire trilogy. Neo consistently chooses Morpheus, or Zion, and cypher chooses steak. we notice how everything The Architect said becomes true - Trinity dies, Neo reconnects to the mainframe, and the Matrix resets. However, taking a step back, we can see that there is something different compared to the previous five iterations: Neo, the one, chooses a different door from The Architect's room, and Zion is saved.
As a program from the machine world, The Oracle guides the one to break the cycle of Zion always being destroyed. The Oracle's goal is to allow machines to coexist with humans, but if it's all up to The Architect, it's not possible.
Here's a fun fact: the people hooked up in the Matrix are technically machine babies, since they are born, raised, and fed by the machines. Only people born in Zion are more fit to define humanity.
And now, 18 years of waiting, we are about to see what happens in "Resurrections".
:( Believe me, you wont be happy.
@@Bez_straha_od_zla Yes I am happy, the movie wasn't so bad. Complicated a little bit, but an ok movie.
15:03 I think Niobi is saying that she's still unsure about the One, but she believes in Neo, personally. Whether he's the One or not, she trusts him. If he makes a call, she has faith that he'll use his best judgement to make it, and that it'll probably be the best call that could be made. So when he says he needs a ship, she gives him her ship.
Neo and Smith are negatives, in terms of equation. When they merged, the halves of the equation neutralized each other.
It’s the old wife, can’t you tell by the..... “face”?! You sir, are my hero! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The matrix trilogy had some great multimedia lore expansion back when these came out. Between Enter The Matrix (which explores Naobi's side story) and The Animatrix, there was a lot to soak up.
Animatrix has some great moments
Just to make this simple one of the movies said that programs are supposed to go back to "The Source" for deletion. Since Neo jacks in from "The Source" when Smith takes him over Smith has technically returned to "The Source" for deletion.
13:46 ....The Oracle speaks to Niobe in a game called "Enter the Matrix".... This story was told on several platforms: Short anime movies, videogames, movies, etc..... , But the main plot it's developed in the movies, so you didn't miss anything importan; with that being said, the characters of Niobe and Ghost (Her second in command) are more developed in that game, but like I said, nothing major......
Yeah with the actress who appears in the matrix revolutions
@@BRIANOCONNOR2003 You mean the one that plays the new Oracle?
@@paulieluppino1856 in enter the matrix and matrix revolutions yeah
I love how at 8:00, Mr Movies mind went into complete survival mode in regards to recognizing Monica Bellucci to Mrs movies. "Face= I get to live another day. Breasts= Im a dead man". 😂
He’s a smart man 😂
There are some scenes with Niobe and her shipmate, Ghost, from the "Enter The Matrix" video game (2003) that ties in well with this movie and the last.
Its such a fun game, I wish they would remaster it~
I feel that watching these now. In a world that has had their influence in it since they came out changes the impact they have now versus the world seeing them when they first debut
There's one distinction at about the 15:00 mark -- Niobe doesn't believe in the legend of The One. She believes in Thomas "Neo" Anderson, the human that she met who isn't just The One, but a unique person first, The One (ironically) second. Also, at 16:45 -- the actor does SUCH a good job at playing Smith that people in the theaters thought Trinity and Neo were idiots for not realizing what and who he was.
7:59 GOOD SAVE
Going back and watching this trilogy again makes me excited for Resurrections next week.
Heck yeah. And thanks to Covid I'll be able watch it on my big screen at home.
Covid? LOL!!! Bhaaa for me sheep Bhaaaaa.
:'''''-( If you dont want this face, dont watch it.
Also, because Neo was the anomaly and was copied over by Smith. The equation was now equal, and neo was directly connected to the source. Hence, a nice hard restart.
I don't think he EMP'd the Squids in the "real' world. I think he auto-wifi-hacked them and forced them to self-destruct which I feel fits better with him auto-wifi-jacking himself into the Matrix.
"I hate these things"
I LOVE EM
This movie is like wayyyy sadder than I remember and after seeing the Trailer for the new one I have alot of questions
Neo would have needed Mad Max to deal with the train hobo , Bruce Spence , did fly that gyro in Mad Max 2 .
The actress that played the original Oracle passed away. That’s why the Oracle looks different.
33:47 Clearly, this _whole_ sequence was written to give the FX people the opportunity to show off.
"Can't you tell by the.... face."
XDDDD.
the point of reaching daylight was to show that they rose above the scorching of the sky to preface Neo's apotheosis & the deal with the Machines.
Great third act.
Mr movies
This is Zion we do think differently here woop 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The end fight was my favorite, felt very EPIC .
I believe "Revolutions" is a play on words to Revelations, the last book in the Bible. I suspect so as there are many other Biblical references in all 3.
"Can't you tell by the.....*be smart*....face?"
Holden, that is actually a very interesting description of Matrix combat. Although many say it's a live action anime
“Can’t you tell by the- face?”
Can't you tell by the ... face. Top notch video editing right there.
I love that....face processing sound effect 8:00. Confirmed!
Fingers crossed on the new one.
Loved the D&D references, thanks! :D
It a honor to hear your voice brotha
I wonder if they bring Neo back with their cloning human battery farms and the Matrix being able to control their environment 100%. I always figured that was how they did the other 5 or 6 Neos. Maybe they could do something with the nature/nature thing and tie it back to choice again. I've also had Neo as the Architect creeping into my head since someone mistook the white rabbit song in the first trailer as Jefferson Starship instead of Airplane. I think 'We built this city' would be about dystopian enough for Architect origin story trailer music.
And after this came the matrix online which was also written by the same writers and was considered canon, where agents for zion where allowed into the matrix to help people who wanted out, as long as they did not cause a lot of problems, Morpheous trying to force the machines to give back neos body by causing mass disruptions in the matrix which leads to his death.
That game was a lot of fun and had so much potential to be even greater before SOE pulled the plug on it. I seriously wish a new Matrix MMO would come out.
Glad to see you finish the trilogy! Love your reactions!
I don't know if anyone has said it but Neo vs. Smith is Hegel's dialectic.
Rewatching this I’m convinced that trinity wasn’t really dead. It seems like she just passed out due to the trauma and blood loss. I don’t think she would have died that fast from where it impaled her. Also, if Neo can use his powers in the real world, if it is the real world, then that would mean the machines could to. So they could have easily taken her body and healed her like Neo did inside the matrix in the second movie. Just so they could keep her plugged in the matrix so that they could control Neo and make him stay in the matrix. Just a theory though.
Hmm.. Maybe there could have been like an embessy for Zion in the matrix. Somekind of "info desk" lol.. Judging by the trailers for the new matrix I'm guessing that didn't happen.
The biggest issue I have with this movie is when they shout "It's Over!!", there is no change in the calamari who are still flying around Zion. If it were truly over from a cinematic standpoint, they would have shown a squiddie retreat. It's like they forgot to shoot that scene.
you missed the point, Neo wanted man and machine to coexist...
Apparently when their eyes change color as the code uploads, that is the signal.
Yeah but as someone already said, you see all their eyes turn from red to green. So I think they didn't forget that scene, you just missed it.
@@aaronsandman749 And they also didn't include the scene where all the Sentinels had started retreating. The ones that had landed launched up and away, as did the ones circling, as I recall.
@@paulchaisson8301 Yeah, I got the whole red to green thing but seriously????? That's it?????? They spent more than $150,000,000 to make this movie and all they could do is turn the eyes from red to green? If I'm from Zion, do I trust my life to continue with squiddies circling my living space? No agent or representative from the machines came and said, "hey, we all have to live together now so all is good, right?" No matter how you slice it, it was weak.
But that is the point in the first movie. Red or blue bill, freedom over slavery. The question means so much more when you don't understand what the consequences are. Simple choice, freedom or slavery.
I really thought she would get that the pitch of the intro sounds get higher with each movie.
31:01 - 31:12
😲😮😫😲😮
Is the face Neo would pull if they did it your way
The Architect said that 99% would accept the program, the other 1% who naturally rejected the program would be allowed to leave.
On a completely different note to the many interpretations of the Matrix, Mrs. Movies comments about how many bullets miss. Because despite Hollywood and firearm marketing, they do; there was a summary a year or two back from the US military, who found that their soldiers in actual combat in Iraq and Afghanistan hit something like 14% of their shots fired in firefights.
This is a very interesting statistic. I still think that given the close proximity they were to each other they still probably should have landed more shots. But you could be right. I might have to break it down some day to see how many of their shots landed vs. were shot. I'd guess it was less than 14%. Thanks for the fun facts!
Gotta love how you guys set up a reaction. Very cool.
"he wants to destroy everythin, neo just wants peace". That's why neo is not the One, remember what the oracle said to him, he's NOT the one.
The only character that fits all the prophesy stuff is not neo but Smith!
The One is meant to destroy the matrix.
The machines used neo to kill The One and avoid destruction.
In a future video whist your husband has his popcorn you should have a slice of cheese cake and see if people spot the reference
This has been cool. I had never seen anyone watch, react to, The Matrix. I mean, it's not LOTR, but I love these flicks.
I got chills hearing "will we ever see him again" "I suspect so, someday" considering i just watched the new one. I don't care what anyone says, it was great seeing them again, and the irony is the new one is technically a better film than the second one. The burly brawl, merv and the chateau fight are about the only two good things in that movie
I think the ending comment by the Architect was just a simple reference to the machines considering humans as not being trustworthy. Afterall, it was human deception that caused the war in the first place. The Matrix backstory told in the "Animatrix" explains that it was humanity who started the war against the intelligent machines. At the United Nations in New York, humans were discussing plans for an military enforced trade embargo and blockade of the machine city "01" in Mesopotamia. The machines sent an ambassador to the UN to find a peaceful resolution to the crisis between humans and independent AI. The machines demanded to be recognized as an independent nation and offered a compromise to end the world trade crisis that had developed between themselves and all human nations and their less competitive economies. The humans responded with a surprise nuclear strike on 01 in an attempt to eradicate all AI. Thats how the centuries long war started we saw ending in Revolutions.
You guys are becoming one of my favorite content creators.
Thanks Billy appreciate it! Thanks for hanging out with us!
"that's his old wife. can't you tell by the ...... ahem, face"
Lol dungeons and dragons. True. Sound advice.. also yes context is for kings ( old saying)
18:33 "I feel like his upper body should be _strapped in_ better. Don't you?"
I've actually always believed his upper body should have some kind of _cover._ I mean look how exposed he is.
Yeah some sort of body armor would make sense
Please watch Backdraft with Kurt Russell, William Baldwin, and Donald Sutherland, absolutely amazing movie that gets forgotten a lot.
This is a step down to the last two films
You can see what the Oracle said to niobe in the game enter the matrix
No the Oracle very much understands the importance of choice. That’s how she was able to manipulate events the way she did by changing the path of the One. It’s Smith that doesn’t understand choice. He represents fatalism
I can't beLIEve that the same people that wrote The Matrix wrote the sequels.
BTW Neo choose trinity (instead the rebuild) is because he was the first one that fell in love. The previous ones didnt have love interests im guessing
the 1st was John Murdoch from Dark City
Ниоба - Niobe.
7:20...Told ya...
You really should watch the Animatrix, it’s amazing
I don't care for Reloaded, but I quite like Revolutions. We probably didn't need two sequels to tell this story, though.
Definitely going to be here for that reaction. I'm going to see it in IMAX with my brother and his kids. They haven't seen the originals (yet) other than the bullet time animation from the first movie because so many other films discuss it in extra scenes regarding pioneering SFX. Charlie (my brother) and I both want them all to see the newest movie first and work backwards. We just have a theory that explaining it that way may make complete sense to them since 2 of his 3 kids weren't even born in 2003 and his oldest son was only about 18 months old. Me and my brother both have ideas and theories of how the new movie will relate to the trilogy, but I guess we will see if neither of us were right, if we were partly right, or the new movie goes in a complete different direction. Incidentally, I saw all the original movies in theaters and there was an end scene at the second movie that had the trailer to the 3rd movie. When I went to see the movie, there were only about 10 to 15 people left to watch it from a theater that was a packed house during the movie. Sort of an end credit scene before it was an MCU thing. I think it still is in my 4k copy of the second movie. Great stuff y'all!
Always stay for the credits! 😉
What's up Mr &Mrs movie so glad you're watching this hope you enjoyed, and have a Merry Christmas (✷‿✷)
Your voices are phenomenal.
Another fun popcorn action flick. The Neo-Smith fight at the end was great. About as good as Reloaded but nothing would top the original. At this point I haven't seen Resurrections(Although I've heard it's the worst) I'd give this one 7/10.
