A Possible Sequel

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2003)

First off, I loved all three of the Matrix films and I am saddened that the `Matrix events' are over. However, I do have hope that there will be more sequels. I base this hope on Neo's final scene and the concluding dialog between the Architect and Oracle. ************ SPOILERS****************************** Basically if you read between the lines, you will see the set up for the next movie and the key is human nature. Years will pass and if the humans are left unchecked, they will become discontented with their existence underground. Of course the human population will grow. A charismatic leader could generate resentment towards the machines by simply stating that the Earth belongs to mankind and why should mankind share the Earth with machines. This is why the Architect stated to the Oracle that she was playing a dangerous game. Machines are unemotional and will keep their agreement of the truce. Humans on the other hand will betray anyone or anything in a heartbeat. In the Animatrix, this is how the human/machine conflict started in the first place. Mankind wanted to destroy or isolate all machines. The same emotions will arise again in the human. With enough time, the humans could develop weapons that could severely threaten the existence of the surface machines. I believe that a script could be written that will explain the resurrection of Neo The machines transferred Neo's `soul' just before Smith absorbed him and then stored it. Neo's body was placed in suspended animation for years and the machines decide to resurrect Neo in order to stop an imminent human threat and maintain the peace
