Kinda? That was more or less the upshot of the Architect's speech, but it's never explained how this cycle actually operates or why to any satisfying degree, nor does it matter to what takes place in the third film.


The Architect explains it pretty well.

1. Machines want power.
2. Can't use solar as humanity screwed up the sky.
3. Will use bio-power!
4. We'll put all the humans in VR so they won't resist.
5. We'll make a perfect VR!
6. Humans rejected the 'perfect' lives.
7. We'll make another version, and give them a 'choice' to exist in it, even if it's just subconscious choice. Some will know things are off.
9. Those will form a human resistance, and the imperfection inherent to the Matrix will create "The One", someone who can outright break the system.
10. We will eventually kill the resistance, reabsorb the one into the program, reset everything, and start again, meanwhile, we get to keep all the power!!!

Agreed. It's all a tremendously longterm session of compiling code, and figuring out what broke the last code. Ironically the resistance could best resist by peacefully living in their tunnels.

I would love to see Hawaiian shirts and ripped jeans for the Matrix. Although with Keanu's legacy, it could inadvertently be labeled as Bill and Ted's Virtual Journey- which is a crossover I would watch.

No, Bill. We're the Architects.
Whoa.

It's step 3 in HBMC's post that makes no sense. They're expending more energy growing those humans in jars than they're getting back out in body heat. Just use whatever is powering that system to directly power the machines. Or lobotomise the humans in infancy and use brainless bodies.

To be honest, I like to think that that explanation is only an in-universe rationalisation; the machines keep humanity around because it's the twisted vestiges of Asimov-style protect-humanity-above-all-else code that they've been unable to completely remove from their programming. They've not wiped out humans because they literally can't conceive of a world without them.

Yeah, the science on the whole "turning humans into batteries" thing makes no sense, but that was executive meddling - apparently audiences would find the machines using human brains as computing hardware too hard to understand. Which is amusing, considering how utterly baffling the third film is to the average person.

I love the Matrix, and I like the second for the fight scenes. The third film, I fast-forward through most bits. I really can't see how a reboot is in any way necessary.

Eh, if it happens, I'll just be an insufferable hipster and remind everyone I liked the early ones!

I've not seen any of the Matrix films since I saw the last of the trilogy in the cinema. I should perhaps go and watch the first one again.

The first is still a fun action movie that stands well on its own.
