The Matrix: Revolutions Theatrical Trailer

Escape Tangent writes "The full theatrical trailer for The Matrix: Revolutions was posted just moments ago at thematrix.com. Choose your poison, then oogle at the eyecandy. Here are links to the high, medium, and low resolutions. Sorry folks, Quicktime 6 only." This trailer is much longer than the earlier TV spots, but they're still available.

A possible spoiler...

A possible spoiler in the trailer...

In the final few frames before the closing titles, a hovership, possibly the Nebuchadnezzar, is shown flying (or crashing) against a clear blue sky with a visible moon. Remember, the skies were burned during the war. Will the skies be cleared in the third movie?? Or is it just incomplete sfx?

A theory..

[fuckfuck101]

Zion is a program, just like the Matrix. How is Neo able to figure out that
he is able to stop the sentinels in Zion near the end of the film? The
spoon given to him earlier. It had obviously been bent loads, but how
outside the Matrix? This gave Neo the inspiration and the understanding
that Zion is still a matrix.

The One explained:

"The One" is a program, but has to be "attached" to someone in the Matrix.
So Mr. Anderson got it in the 6th version of the Matrix. Then "The One"
program's purpose is to allow Zion to be destroyed then to rebuild it. The
reason for this is because of anomalies - the 1% of humans that don't
accept the Matrix. These are all brought out of the Matrix program and into
the Zion program by the "Morpheus" program and other similar "ship captain"
programs. Then once all the anomalies are out of the Matrix (and in Zion),
that is the time for Zion to be destroyed, thus killing all the anomalies
off. The Matrix is then upgraded, thus creating the next version of the
Matrix, but Zion must be rebuilt so that the next lot of anomalies can be
brought out again so that they can be destroyed. This is the feedback-loop,
and is the reason to retain a handful of people so that Zion can be rebuilt.
So this is why Neo said the prophecy was a lie - the One's purpose was not
to end the war as the prophecy stated.
Unfortunately, "The One" program must be re-used each time, or copied, so it
can be "attached" to a new anomaly inside the Matrix. So what happens to
the old "The One" program? It faces deletion, and as the Oracle explained,
it goes into exile instead, just like the French bloke (the Merovingian)
did. He was the first One (probably from the second version of the Matrix),
and once he fulfilled his duty, he became an exile program and "abdicated"
his "Oneness" by choosing Persephone and power. This is evident in the bogs
when Persephone asks Neo to kiss her. She says she wants him to kiss her so
she can feel what it is like again to be kissed by something close to
human, just like the Merovingian used to be. Then she says to Trinity that
she envies her, but that these things are not meant to last. So the
Merovingian used to be just like Neo - a One - thus proving further the
feedback-loop explained earlier.

The correct door in the Architect's room

Now there are two possibilities here:
1. All the previous One's chose the right door allowing a "temporary
dissemination" of their code into the Matrix (i.e., the code they "carry"
thus indicating Neo is indeed human), then he must select (unplug) 23
people from the Matrix to rebuild Zion. This takes away the possibility
that stories from previous rebuilds of Zion will be carried through. But
Morpheus indicated in the first Matrix that this is the case anyway. He
said, "there was a man born inside, able to change things, it was he who
freed the first of us," - basically the One previous to Neo. And this
proves that the previous One chose the right door also. Neo's purpose is
also to choose the right door, but he does not because he faces deletion
afterwards and has the choice of going into exile - programs choosing to go
into exile is the one thing that can't be accounted for in program
parameters. Thus, he chooses the left door instead this time. How was Neo
able to choose the other door? Because of his extreme willpower? - Even the
Architect indicated that he'd noticed this - "Interesting. That was quicker
than the others." Or more likely, because the Oracle upgraded his coding
with the candy on the park bench. The candy/cookie was a method to change
the One's program. She said he has made a believer out of her - this is
quite human-like and perhaps the previous One's didn't accept the upgrade
candy, now she has hope... hope that Neo will finally choose the other
door.

2. All the previous One's chose the left door, saving Trinity and letting
Zion fall. So this time is

Re:A theory..

Cute theory, lot of problems with it. This is my theory:

The "real" world, is in fact just an outer layer of the Matrix. I'm going to describe the Matrix as an operating system. Indeed, its been described as that in the story.

Now in any good operating system you have users. Users can do random things, many of them dumb, so you limit their abilities. They are given a finite amount of space to play in, a finite time to play, and strict rules to play by. In an ideal world they would be so oblivious to the actual rules that they just assume that's how reality works.

We do this now with daemons under Linux. My bind daemon runs as a special user named. Named has its own filesystem within a filesystem through the magic of CHROOT. CHROOT fools a process into thinking the origin of the universe exists at an arbitrary location of a larger filesystem, instead of at the convention I-Node 0.

When named runs, it can't see anything but what is below /var/bind. Indeed, it sees /var/bind as /.

Thus, if a hacker manages to hijack the bind daemon, all he/she will see is the contents of /var/bind. They can't see anything else in the file system.

Now, suppose we found there was a special band of Hackers who found a way out of the chroot environment? It is my theory that the machines devise a honeypot in the form of Zion. Zion looks like a working system, but in fact the /etc /bin /var et all are fabrications designed to fool the cracker into thinking they have 0wned the box.

In fact all the 0wn is a little rubber room, that exists as /zion on my file system. It's a cheapy spare drive that I don't care about.

I monitor the activity on the /zion drive, and it gives me all the info I need to prevent a further breach. When I have learned all that I care to, I reformat the volume with a fresh image.

I'm on rev 6 of this system...
