»So it ends like that huh....?«

wow. I LOVED IT! dont get me wrong.... but i dont get it.... so the matrix is destroyed for now? (we assume)

Smith transforms Neo and the equation is balanced and all the Smiths are destroyed, but if the Smith's absorbed the whole world(matrix) and there isnt anyone left. What happens to the people who are still connected to the Matrix?

the matrix isnt destroyed. Its still exists. There are still billions of people in the real world hooked up to to the matrix. The matrix i believe will always exist as long as there are people who are willing to be hooked up to it.

People connected to the matrix will be given a choice to either stay hooked up or freed as is obtained through the final scene with the architect and the oracle. How this will be done is unclear.

The matrix must still exist as "entire crops will be lost" if people were to just be awakened from it. I believe the process of freeing all the people still connected will take quite a bit of time - and even then, all may not wish to be unplugged - hence the matrix will still need to exist.

Just my thoughts

Here's another thing to consider...

Maybe they aren't going to tell everyone in the matrix, about the matrix... maybe the people who "want to be freed" are the people like the Runner in the Animatrix... who know about it, but can't be freed, they will now be freed...?

I don't necessarily believe this, but it's open to my mind, what do you guys think?

I don't know who's gonna be freed or not...but the question I've been asking myself for a bit now is this:

in the end, the architect says to the oracle about the peace between Zion and the machine city:

"how long it's gonna last THIS TIME!"

So, i thought that it has already happens before....?

Im not sure what that means....someone can help me with this though?

i think they mean before the war, if not a lot of things lose its points. Like Neo being something moore then the one. Being "the one the one"

well....the way I see it, it make perfect sense....when he say: how long its gonna llast this time....im pretty sure he's talking about the peace! So maybe, it has happens before..in the other matrix....iits just another system of control....they make them believe one thing like they've always do....
what do you think?

Matrix exists, architecht restarted the Matrix, and as it seemed like the hacked Smiths turned back to their original shape, like to Oracle or Sati, as shown, I think it's still running and full of people.
Though, we don't know is Neo dead, he is Messiah, Neo the 2nd coming, too much questions left open.

after the end of reloaded i realli tot tt Neo chose a diff fate for mankind. but according to the architect's words, seraph's words, smiths' words, it seems that the events after choosing the diff door at the architect's chamber have all happened b4.
seraph beaten smith, smith said he rem the fight with Neo on board logos, architect's final words....
so strange to me....
but i liked the way whoever in this thread mentioned that the key to smith destroying is cos neo is balanced. cool.
i was thinking of neo being a conductor for the machines to vaccine the smth virus. lame huh. haha
i'm singaoirean. any comreades out here?
