Didn't think there was anyone who hadn't seen it yet. Sorry.

i don't know if you're referring to the whole trilogy or just the first movie so it put my response in spoiler (like anybody doesn't know already though)
+ Show Spoiler +

erm...the ending is a truce between the machines and the humans after seven previous successful attempts at eradicating Zion and then allowing the humans to repopulate etc etc. It's the first time in the movies' canon that the machines haven't been in complete control of the fate of the human race, so how is that a victory for them exactly? I mean, it's not a victory for mankind either, but it's basically a stalemate due to Neo's actions.


I guess what I'm saying is, please define how they "won" at the end.
fuck art its a competition if you dont get pissed off when you lose you dont care enough - Idra, on the "art" of RTS games.

They killed The One, the Matrix continued on, Zion was allowed to survive to repeat the cycle again is what I saw.

And yeah, my thread got deleted cause I didn't spoiler it. :/

The people were given a choice to leave the matrix if they wanted to, which was a first.

We weren't given that information. We only know that they had become efficient at getting rid of the anomaly.

We actually refer to it as a trilogy? I think of The Matrix as that one great movie and choose to believe the other two were never made. Can't believe we're still spoilering such an old movie.

And put more work into the OP - provide some ramifications for the debate, explain something ... one question is a disaster topic in the making.

So the film ends with the Architect's grudging agreement that all minds that reject the Matrix will be freed. Zion has been saved, and will grow in size with the influx of freed minds.
