ahaan! .. Maybe I understood this part too( now I remember, after u telling me).. but there was a lot.. the architect talked about. He went on and on about the matrix..
I wish I cud watch it again.. just to make sense out of the architect's crap.
so I didnt really get how this ended the triliogy? I mean I know the end of war and stuff but what happens to Neo?
Well, Neo and Trinity have 2.5 kids and live in the posh suburban city. Oh and I almost forgot, there’s a gana where Trinity sings and dances while Neo stands around chewing a ganna, and Trinity’s clothes change 3-4 times between different color leather.
UMAIR316 - thanks i now undersand the Architect part in Reloaded - i had to watch Matrix 1, Reloaded - and then Revolutions again to have a perfect cut.
in the end - to some extent - the trilogy made all sense. :)

Revolutions holds it's own and brings the saga to a somewhat close - i say somewhat because even though all of the events are explained - it still leaves you wondering if perhaps Neo will come back someday?
the movie wraps everything up - and doesn't leave you wondering too much tho!
‘Last ‘Matrix’ lands a solid blow for the bold trilogy’
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/movies/146831_matrix05q.html
Expectations are everything to a film’s reception, and the consensus of opinion is that the unprecedented hype that surrounded the opening of the second “Matrix” last May made promises the movie couldn’t possibly fulfill, and hurt it both critically and at the box office.
Conversely, the remarkably low expectations and general lack of fanfare and hoopla that have met the opening of the third episode of the trilogy, “The Matrix Revolutions,” could very well help it to a happier fate than its predecessor.
Especially since it’s a better movie. No, it doesn’t exactly re-create the magic that made the original such an instant classic, but it’s faster and more involving than “Reloaded” and it rounds off the premise and themes of the trilogy in a surprisingly satisfying way.
That premise, in case you’ve been living on the moon, is that everything around us is merely a computer-generated dream world – the Matrix – monitored by artificially intelligent machines that have taken over the world but need human biological energy to run it.
**In Part 1, hacker-hero Neo (Keanu Reeves) is recruited by a group of rebel humans who have broken free from the Matrix and believe him to be “The One” – the messiah prophesied by a famous oracle who will deliver the human race from bondage.
In Part 2, Neo accepts his fate, gains superpowers and embarks on a quest to fulfill his destiny by journeying through numerous obstacles to reach the “Mainframe” of the Matrix – hopefully in time to foil an invasion of Zion, the one human city left in the real world.
Part 3 starts off right where the last one ended, with the machine “sentinels” racing for the human stronghold of Zion, and our team of heroes staggering under the revelation that Neo is a fraud, and the whole idea of a messiah was just another means of machine control.**
After a few talky sequences that stoke the metaphysics of the premise, the plot suddenly shifts into high gear and the rest of the movie crosscuts between two lavish action sequences: the defense of Zion, and Neo’s seemingly suicidal journey to the Machine City to confront his fate.
Be warned that many of the problems of Part 2 that caused fans and critics to turn on the franchise continue here, including an overabundance of computer-program characters doing too many incomprehensible things with a frustrating “Alice in Wonderland” logic.
Moreover, two of the film’s three human love stories – the triangle of Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), Niobe (Jada Pinkett Smith) and Lock (Harry Lennix); and the marital problems of Link (Harold Perrineau) and Zee (Nona Gaye) – seem weak and uninteresting, so much dead time.
Also, like “Reloaded,” it suffers from sequel-itis: unlike “Lord of the Rings,” the “Matrix” franchise was clearly not conceived as a trilogy, and its continuation has a certain sense of being a tag-on to an idea that was complete unto itself.
On the plus side, the film’s central track – the Neo saga – picks up some genuine steam here. The now-deflated hero’s quest and his star-crossed romance with Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) become more compelling, and both stars’ performances become unexpectedly touching.
“Revolutions” also works to a conclusion that may not (on first viewing, anyway) make perfect sense, and might sound silly in words, but is emotionally satisfying, so you don’t leave the theater feeling you’ve been ripped off by one more Hollywood shaggy-dog story.
And whatever else it is, “Matrix” 3 is a butt-kicking action movie. Granted, all its kung-fu fighting is getting tiresome, but its core sequence – the machine siege of Zion – is a virtuoso piece of computer filmmaking, as imaginative and engrossing as an Eisenstein epic.
So what’s the final verdict? Does the now-complete “Matrix” cycle add up to a single, daring work of 21st-century art? Does it all come together to be the profound, quasi-religious, cross-cultural vision that its most devoted fans believed it would be?
**Time will tell. But this much is sure. It’s a body of movie work that you actually can have a conversation about – ambitious, audacious, boldly open to interpretation. And in a Hollywood cinema that otherwise seems completely surrendered to formula, this alone is reason to rejoice.
WHEN IS THE MATRIX?**
What is the Matrix? That’s an old question. The real head-scratcher is:
Using background culled from the three movies and Animatrix shorts, The Associated Press compiled an estimated timeline of the war between men and machines:
2010-60 – Humans create humanoid drone robots with artificial intelligence to fill jobs as construction laborers and servants.
2069 – The hovercraft transport ship Nebuchadnezzar, later to be captained by Morpheus, is constructed in the United States.
2075 – AI programs evolve and some robots began to resent their human overlords.
2077 – In the first case of a machine rising up against its owners, the butler robot B166ER slaughters two humans, leading to B166ERs eradication and a backlash against robots and artificial intelligence.
2080-85 – Rioting and violence against machines prompts robots to flee major cities and establish their own community – known as Zero One – in a remote part of the Middle East.
2085-2095– Zero One thrives, creating superior vehicles, computers and weaponry and decimating the economies of many human nations, which now lack the machine-based labor that made them strong.
**2096-- ** United Nations officials refuse to accept the robot civilization of Zero One as a sovereign nation. A trade blockade of robot goods leads to war.
2097 – Zero One survives a nuclear attack – its inhabitants are impervious to the heat and radiation and casualties are quickly replaced. Counterstrikes launched against humans.
2098 – As cities fall beneath the might of mechanized forces, desperate military leaders attempt to block the main source of energy for the robot city: the sun. The plan destroys the atmosphere and fills the sky with choking black smoke – but does not stop the machines.
2099– Machine forces overtake human armies and capture survivors and civilians for experimentation, determining that human bio-electricity can be harnessed to replace the sun’s energy.
2100 – Machines create the Matrix, a dreamlike world set in 1999, to extend the lives of the comatose human batteries.
**2105 – ** The first human known as The One, locked in bondage inside the Matrix, learns he can manipulate the world through thought and manages to break free. Seeks sanctuary in the underground human stronghold of Zion.
**2105-2150 – ** Zion resistance movement created, although The One later dies under unexplained circumstances.
2161 – Morpheus born in a Matrix womb; freed in childhood.
**2167 – ** Trinity born in a Matrix womb; freed in early childhood.
2175 – The Oracle prophesizes that Morpheus will discover the second coming of The One.
2199 – Trinity and Morpheus discover Neo, a hacker in the Matrix. They free him and do battle with Agent Smith, a program designed to rid the Matrix of humans who detect its flaws.
2201 – The Osiris, another human rebellion ship, discovers machines drilling through the Earth above Zion. Crew members send a message through the Matrix to their compatriots shortly before being destroyed.
2201 – Now living in Zion and working with the rebellion against the machines, Neo encounters The Architect, the artificial intelligence program that created the Matrix.
**2201 – ** The Architect reveals that the Matrix places rebellious humans in Zion, which it then targets for destruction, thus eradicating bugs in its system. He states that Zion has been destroyed five previous times – suggesting the Matrix may be much older than he thinks.
