so does this mean that every other "one" chose the salvation of Zion door?
What would the other choice/door would have been for the other "ones"?

Overall, i was a little disappointed. It was a lot of fights and not a lot of plot. I have low expectations for the next one.

Save you're money... it's not even worth renting on DVD.

oh, so I guess these are much better films:
The Mummy
What Women Want
Pokemon
Charlie's Angels
Stepmom
8MM
Deep Impact
(dvds on his list)

Wow... did I really have all those? I haven't updated that list in forever. My collection is always in a state of flux, the only three of those left are What Women Want (haven't watched it yet), and 8mm and Deep Impact, neither of which were that great.
To be honest, I would probably rather watch Pokemon than revisit the Matrix: Reloaded. Which is too bad as I enjoyed the first Matrix, and had high hopes for the sequel.
I've seen video games with a better plot, far better (and less mindless) dialogue, and less hokey animation. I don't really want to get into a debate around it as people's taste in movies is so subjective. I was simply hoping that my comment might save some poor sap from wasting $6 on this turd.

well i was just hoping to demonstrate that your opinion is a turd.

okay.. the twins had an objective during hte freeway scene, and that was to get the keymaker.
the agents had an objective, and it was to get the keymaker too, right? but they're clearly on different sides because the twins and the agents try to attack each other when one of hte twins is in the car and one agent is on top of the roof.
i know why the twins needed the keymaker (to get him back to that french place and lock him up right?) but what did the agents need him?
also, i think it's important that neo is a part of smith, and vise versa. so what exactly are they sharing? does smith have some control (or input or something) towards machines? smith just happened to be the only survivor during the counter attack, meaning he had to have controlled the sentinels or had them spare him or something.. so if smith had some input/connection to the machines, maybe thats what neo and smith share, and thats how he could stop the sentinels in the real world?
and in the next scene, neo is unconscious, but so is smith. coincidence?

So many points brought up and I have yet to see the animatrix (which is key to understanding alot)...
I am going to mention points followed by a colon and my take.
The Bible: people are just pulling on their own sense of relatativity....a muslin could make the same comparison or a jewish person or just about any religious person (a God(s), a son of god(s) and an anti-god/christ/devil, is echoed throughout religions)....the thing is the references to religion goes much deeper and across many types...which if you realize all the commonalities in all religions, it may point to something 'real' in them.
cgi: give me a break, they are definitely pushing the boundaries here, it's been almost impossible to create a human-like human in the past and here we are with a 100 or so, pretty believable on screen...so what if his face looked fake in some scenes...this is a _movie_, not reality.
choice you already made the choice you are here now to understand why: Neo has already passed through this (much like a program that executed and has been re-run, and also like a program that has been run the programmer cannot stop a 'bad part' without stopping the whole program. He has to rewrite a section and run it as a whole....and recursion) and now is coming back to see why.
persephone lack of love: she has forgotten love since the Mergovian has forgotten her....a mother loving her own son in a sexual matter has happened in mythology so it would fit right in with the film's broad gathering of several religions.
spoon, there is no spoon: this can be taken two ways: there is no spoon since it's all code, or there is a spoon now since you are now outside the code.
machines, why not destroy the matrix: They are part of it, they 'want' to live too. This was sort of explained by the Councelor to Neo describing the machines that keep them alive...they can stop them but by stopping them they kill themselves.
Smith: possibly a virus, code outside the code and is now self-realizing and wants to live....he also takes over other agents (they are not his allies obviously). Also the 'twins' also are attacked/attack agents.
13th floor and other movies being similar: this is just people who want to bitch...it's quite possible these were copies of early matrix scripts (a lot of blockbusters get copied when the scripts get leaked)...The Ring is said to be a ripoff of Feardotcom, but Fear was just rushed to print in the USA, The Ring is an old movie from Japan which was publicly slated for a USA release...the Feardotcom team knew it had the details of a blockbuster so stole the storyline in an abstract sort of way. The Ring/Ring Zero/Ringu/Et al have been around a long time.
Merovingians: all I can say is research: Hiram's Key, 2112, the Holy Grail, Templars, Oak Island, King Arthur, Jesus, Le Serpant Rouge, Le Chateau Rennes, Pres. Bush, Kennedy, Hitler, Rothchilds, Princess Diana and why Egyptians may have been a sign, NWO, Masonics, Skull & Bones, Atlantis, The Emerald Tablets (even if you don't believe the words, look into the scientific make up of the tablets), The Last Supper Painting (notice a disembodied hand with a dagger and DaVinci painting himself sitting with the 'traitors', an act at the time which could have had him executed)....much much more....
no plot all action: People that say this are usually too stupid to understand the movie or simply fans of a competing movie.
the 'one': Perhaps Smith and Neo are two parts of the same being.
programs moding programs: This has been mentioned, and even Neo exhibited it (the abnomality)...plus Neo was recruited since he was a hacker...
two blacks having a white baby, two whites having a black baby (not my choice of terms since white people aren't white and black people aren't black): This is quite possible, if you understand genetics you will realize it's not a two way street and many times two blue = blue, a brown and blue = brown, and two brown = blue (simplification)
1%: Zion holds the 'problems', perhaps each reboot zion gets smaller with hopes that soon it's not needed (a special program to hold the bad 'but good' data)
orgys vs battle: This whole thing is well mentioned....16 women and 7 men are to rebuild 'Zion'....I would believe it would need to be a drunken / drugged / music fueled orgy to get this done as chances are you may end up possibly sleeping with your sister...but it's for the good of mankind.... [On a sidenote in genetics, this is line breeding and having children with a 1st cousin / sibling does not always equal 3 armed progeny....it does amplify recessive traits which can be good or bad....many bad things are recessive though and why line breeding/sibling sex is a bad thing, in dogs and horses it's often practiced.]
comas: like the people in the matrix are, when you are outside your own world and in a 'matrix' you are in a coma. Maybe Neo and Smith are in another world, however no 'plug' is being used on them.
deleting everything: Well deleting doesn't erase things......you have to think in computer language throughout this whole movie, there are constructs, applications, bugs, viruses....I think the Wach. Bros were trying to think of everything we think is real is really just an Application. They really need to rewrite the section, not just delete it.
if there is only one matrix or if there is only two: the matrix and zion, what world did neo live in...more matrixes are apparent.
reinsert the code....remove the problems: debugging is a definite thing that Neo's purpose is...however he discovered Love.
stuff being stupid and not real: It's a movie....it's not supposed to be based on REALITY.
recursion: I think there is some of it going on in the movie...you could have several levels with the topmost being much further along in execution...however once the stop state is reached, it's instantly recursed throughout the application.
cliche love conquers all: Neo discovers love and love is the answer...however as some have mentioned, in the first Matrix, it's mentioned that Trinity's affection is known...however this can also be recursion (top level further along than a lower level).

My thoughts are as follows:
The 'one' is a machine - Yes, that is right, I think Neo is a machine, or at least part-machine, more than others who are 'rescued'. Zion is in fact in the real world, and not a second-level of the Matrix.
Bane was plugged into the Matrix, and what was returned to Bane's body contained a Smith "virus" that is controlling his thoughts/actions.
Zion has not been destroyed, the 5 ships that were rendered powerless by the EMP (by Bane?) were destroyed and Bane was left as the only survivor (the sentinels could sense the machine virus in him?).
The 'one' is a machine that is supposed to return to the source code - the code will then be modified to make the takeover by a true 'anomoly' less likely. The whole sherade of rebuilding Zion is merely to keep the 'one' around long enough to learn, so its return to the source code will be worthwhile.
I think two things will affect the outcome - the fact that Neo has experienced love, which the other "one's" apparently did not, may confuse the "source" if he does in fact return to save Zion.
Smith's mutation may also backfire and help destroy the machines.
Can't wait! I am pissed I missed the special sneak preview at the end!!!!!! What did it show?!!?!?
