Theory

Rating: Null/10 (4 November 2003)

Alright, alright, alright, so the third movie is coming out in a few days and since I somewhat enjoyed Reloaded, I still want to see how the thing ends, because I know that the brothers probably have a few tricks up their sleeve.

if you don't want to hear anything about the ending (just to be sure, I haven't read anything and have no idea how it ends) I've left some space.
here's some theories

1-neo isn't the 'one' but that kid is, the one who annoys neo and had that animatrix about him (forgot his name). If he can succesfully pop himself out of the matrix, then that makes him somewhat more powerful than neo. It would be cool if the kid learned to enter the matrix without 'plugging in.' Anway, I loved that animatrix and was pretty mad to see the movie treat him with such little regard. Neo just wanted to backslap him, it was pretty annoying.
2-All of this has been the elaborate training program to make Neo an agent for the matrix. that would be wonderful, if the brothers had the presense of mind to turn around everything they built and end on such a depressing note, that all along it was just a training simulation to create Agent Anderson.
3-We learn what the machines are actually doing with all this energy that they are making from humans. I mean, they have to have some kind of a civilization, otherwise what would be the point of enslaving all of mankind, there has to be some excess energy.
So I think that the machines are creating a virtual society for them to live in, and having realized that they will never understand the human concepts of free-will, they have created a simulation of them as humans, i.e. the Matrix! haha! that's a nice one. All this time everyhuman is just a manifestation of a machine's will, and perhaps just for kicks, the machines have created this rebellious spark.
4-At the final scene, on a bridge somewhere looking down into a neverending void, Smith reveals that he is neo's father. if they do this with completely straight faces, with no suggestion that its ripping off Star Wars, I would forgive the trilogy for all of its pretensions.
