So now we know that sereph fights for the side of the humans in 3....If you played the video game you would also know this, so I am not giveing away to horribly much.
Unfortunatly to truly follow or predict what is going to hapen we realy must watch animatrix and the enter the matrix cut scene's (to bad I hear the game is so horrible)
Matrix with me is partialy an obsession, dont ask why. I have a fairly firm grasp of what is going to happen is 3 and where they are going. I dont want to completely ruin it for people but the matrix within a matrix is clearly defined. I know people are thinking well thats just a bullshit copout BUT what there(your) not considering is that there is another layer that has not been exposed.
The fundimental flaw in the matrix is something that computers can not comprehend there is no choice, there is no free will, this is 100% said in the movie, the machines just dont get that whole free will thing, the whole making a choice based on emotion and not logic. So when they created a contruct it was fundementaly flawed as the free will that was there...was not truly free.
There saftey valve HAD to be reset or it would fall appart.
Now the thing to ask yourself, if there is no one outside the Matrix how does anyone leave to begin with ...
I assure you though its not a cop out...
