The Oracle – created by the machines to understand human nature – knew the problem: for everyone to accept the simulation, they had to have a choice. The Architect explains that the first version of the system was perfect, but failed, so the next version had some flaws built in to reflect human history. While the Architect doesn't exactly want this to happen, because he knows it's inevitable, he has a way of controlling it – so he knew Neo was coming to meet him. There've been five other versions of the system, which means five other versions of the One, too. The Architect is not one to speak clearly, but he reveals that Neo is in fact not a prophesied savior after all, but is actually a recurring "anomaly" in the Matrix with a connection to the Source. Luckily, Neo is able to repel Smith's attempt to absorb him. Countless versions of the villain show up thanks to his new abilities, and Neo fights them all in a massive, reality-bending battle. Except, there's not just one of him this time around. Neo also learns that the Oracle herself is a computer program, but decides he can still trust her.Īfter the Oracle leaves, Agent Smith reappears. He's tasked with reaching the Matrix's Source – basically, the heart of the entire program. He meets with the Oracle again, taken to her by her bodyguard Seraph, and she tells him to find someone known as the Keymaker. Neo has been having nightmares of Trinity's death, which are keeping him awake. Meanwhile, Agent Smith possesses one of the human rebels, Bane: after his fight with Neo, Smith is no longer in thrall to the Matrix's rules, and his capabilities have leveled up. We're also introduced to Jada Pinkett Smith's Niobe, captain of the Logos ship. We learn that the machines are sending robots down to Zion, and will be there in a matter of hours. The Matrix 2 picks up six months after the events of the first movie. The film ends with Neo making a phone call warning the machines he's going to show people "a world where anything is possible," before he flies away Superman-style. If you're wondering about the Oracle, she only told Neo what he needed to hear at the time, and not the actual truth. Back in the Matrix, Neo wakes up, and, now believing he is the One, defeats the Agents and makes his escape. In the real world, Trinity tells Neo's body that she's in love with him, and says the Oracle told her she'd fall for the One. Smith shoots Neo dead, and all hope seems lost. Meanwhile, Neo is pursued by Agents – led by Hugo Weaving's Agent Smith. They rescue Morpheus, who makes it out of the Matrix safely with Trinity. He and Trinity fight their way to their friend, and Neo discovers he can move fast enough to dodge bullets. Neo launches a rescue operation to save Morpheus, even though the odds are stacked against him. The Agents take Morpheus captive, and all but Neo, Trinity, and another crewmember named Tank are killed by Cypher – who is then in turn killed by Tank. That's a sign of a glitch in the Matrix, which happens when something is changed. They become aware of the trap when Neo notices a black cat walking by twice, and comments on his déjà vu. It turns out one of the Nebuchadnezzar's crew, Cypher, wanted back into the simulation and made a deal to betray the others. This is how Matrix democratises control over communication.īy default, Matrix uses simple HTTPS+JSON APIs as its baseline transport, but also embraces more sophisticated transports such as WebSockets or ultra-low-bandwidth Matrix via CoAP+Noise.The team are then ambushed by the sinister Agents, computer programs within the Matrix that are impossible to defeat, clad in suits and dark sunglasses. This means that every server has total self-sovereignty over its users data - and anyone can choose or run their own server and participate in the wider Matrix network. Even if your server goes offline, the conversation can continue uninterrupted elsewhere until it returns. There is no single point of control or failure in a Matrix conversation which spans multiple servers: the act of communication with someone elsewhere in Matrix shares ownership of the conversation equally with them. When you send a message in Matrix, it is replicated over all the servers whose users are participating in a given conversation - similarly to how commits are replicated between Git repositories. Matrix is really a decentralised conversation store rather than a messaging protocol.
