I found the 1st movie to be very Buddhist...

Your stuff about consequences sounds a lot like karma...

I haven't seen the new movie yet -- but think about this... In the minds of most men the world is to be experienced solitarily... then you create machines that think collectively... through the struggles of the machine(s) do you realize the importance of man's individuality -- and the importance of the progress of the individual from oblivious to ubiquitous...

I was reading a book last night about a man who could go into a trance and he could heal people -- but here was the trick -- he was observed by many doctors, etc. and they asked him about his process -- the conclusion was that he could access and become any living mind -- and it seems he could access the minds of those before him... In this way he was able to prescribe cures that had been lost into antiquity or cures that had never been released to the public... This seems to coincide with how animal "instinct" seems to pass through the generations... and maybe this tells us how we learned to be human with a beating heart and a brain -- accessing vital information from within the perfect sensory deprivation chamber -- a mother's womb...

Imagine being able to meditate in warm fluid with a steady supply of food, warmth and shelter... All the knowledge of humanity infused into every cell of your being... To be the "chosen one" would seem to involve becoming more aware... but to evolve (and be a never-before-seen supreme human) you could not use humanity as a pool from which to pull the nectar -- you would have to observe God... which is simply a matter of observing the natural world. Observing the natural world through a matrix has been done since the beginning of time -- to be able to "un-plug" and to observe the natural world of the imagination is another feat entirely... more frightening, although possibly more rewarding!
