  All humanity is connected to the Matrix, Smith takes over the Matrix,
Smith hates humans. What is there to not to understand? What do you think
would happen if Smith succeeds?

  First you say that the Architect's speech was pointless, and then you
complain that you don't understand what the movies were about.

  Maybe there's a correlation between those to things?

  It's a sequel, not a sequal.

  And the Warchowski brothers had the entire trilogy plotted out from the
