This is in no way the final word on what happened in the movie..but this is designed to give you answers to some of the questions you may have had during the movie. This is fairly unorganized at the moment, and this is designed for the reader's that have seen all 3 of the movies. So please do not read this any further if you have yet to see the trilogy. NOTE: THIS DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS, DO NOT READ THIS FAQ IF YOU HAVE NO INTENTIONS ON GETTING THE PLOT AND PLOT POINTS SPOILED FOR YOU. [1. How did Smith die? {Revolutions)] The theory is that Neo is Smith's antithesis. Therefore if Neo dies so does Smith. How Neo "dies" or if he dies at all is not explained. Neo's plug was pulled when he became Smith, thus killing Smith as well. Its also possible that, in turn Neo actually was able to manipulate Smith's coding to destory him, similiar to that in The Matrix. The machine then pulled the plug on Neo to recode and reinsert him into the Matrix. [2. How did Neo gain his abilities in the real world? (Revolutions)] Interaction with The Architect gave him a new upgrade that allowed him to be somewhat connected to machines, therefore giving him the ability to kill machines with limited power. Neo essentially becomes "connected" with machines after his meeting with the Architect. [3. Why was Smith suddenly able to fly in the final battle? (Revolutions)] He gained the abilities when he changed the oracle into Smith. Its obvious he gains some sort of power from the Oracle when the room suddenly fills with a gust of air and the new smith laughs. [4. Why was Smith able to know that he was going to defeat Neo? (Revolutions)] Once again, converting the Oracle gave him the ability to see what exactly was going to happen. [5. Wait if the machines and humans made peace what happens now? (Revolutions)] Since the machines need humans for power, the question remains how exactly do they unplug everyone from the Matrix if the machines need them for power. Its possible that the machines could slowly start releasing humans from the Matrix, with a joint effort find a way to get solar energy back. [6. What happened to the twins? (Revolutions)] In reloaded, they explode in the truck. However they make it very apparent that they survived when they turn into spirit form as the truck explodes. Why they are not in this feat. is unknown. Rumor has it they are in the credits. [7. How did the child make the sunlight for Neo? (Revolutions)] Her parents were programmers, therefore she had probably picked up the ability to program the Matrix somewhat. [8. What has happened to Neo? (Revolutions)] That remains to be seen. Neo is either a) Dead or b) being reinserted into the Matrix as a program. We will probably never know exactly what happens to Neo. [9. How did Cypher make arrangements with Smith? (The Matrix)] We never do find out how Cypher was able to enter The Matrix and be able to escape without the assistance with someone else. This is actually quite a huge plot hole. Theory could be that Cypher had invented some sort of program to be able to pull him out at a set time and since Cypher was with the rest of the crew all the time he could have ploted it while the crew was sleeping. [10. Seeing as Neo gained power when Smith tried to convert him, why didn't Morpheus? (Reloaded)] Morpheus simply lacked the ability to gain any power from it, While Neo could. While this may not be obvious this is probably the most accurate explaination. [11. What was Trinity thinking jumping out the window? (Reloaded)] She wanted to get away from the Agents (obviously) the problem is what was her plan if she did in fact avoid getting shot? She would crash into the car below..so essentially she would have been screwed either way. [12. What was the point of the architect? (Reloaded)] Essentially it could have been a early victory for Neo had he chose the other door. At the same time the Architect told Neo "She is going to die and there is nothing you can do about it." Meaning that picking EITHER door she was going to die, you see she dies in Revolutions anyways Neo just delayed it and delayed the victory of the machines. [13. What did Smith mean with the statement, "It's happening exactly as it was before..." "Well..not exactly."? (Reloaded)] This is either a reference between Neo and Smith fighting in The Matrix with Smith being plugged in, which he is no longer plugged in which might be what his comment is. Or its possible he is referring to the previous versions of the Matrix in which he didn't have Neo's coding in him before. [14. How did Smith manage to unplug? (Reloaded)] In The Matrix, Neo went inside of Smith...and deleted his coding, and unfortunately he did NOT remove it all. With the remaining coding Smith was created again..this time uncontrolled by The Source. Thus Smith was like a virus injecting himself and turning everything into his coding. [15. Why did they need Neo to stop Smith? (Revolutions)] Smith was uncontrolable by the source, much like Neo. Smith couldn't simply be deleted. Thus by sending Neo in, Neo becoming Smith...Neo is essentially what made Smith controllable again. By Unplugging Neo all Smiths died. Essentially by using Neo, they could establish a link to Smith so they could destroy him.
