Welcome back to the real world!
The film opens with a team of synthients inspecting a modal within The Matrix
Bugs is the captain of the Mnemosyne
she goes in
finds herself in a simulation of Trinity and being found by the Agents
although it isn’t the same person as before
She goes through the motions of fighting off the Agents
while Bugs follows and observes alongside the Mnemosyne’s operator Seq
Just as the Agents appear to corner Trinity
she observes that this isn’t what originally happened and Seq know it’s a trap
meanwhile, Bugs is pursued by the Agents
running into an old apartment building
The lead Agent catches up to her
they realize that they are in the apartment of Thomas Anderson, Neo
she tells the Agent
she knows that Neo is alive, despite others believing him to be dead
because she remembers
being stuck in a dead-end window washing job
when she witnessed Neo in his true form
stepping over the side of a building and not falling
and when he looked at her, it unlocked her mind
The Agent also acknowledges
that he had seen codes in windows and mirrors, before he realized he was in a simulation
and the Agent reveals himself to be Morpheus
she presents the blue, and red pills for him
to make his choice, and he takes the red one
They try to escape through various doors only for the Agents to be around every corner after them
and the two make their exit by jumping out a window
In the Matrix, Neo is living as Thomas
working for the video game company Deus Machina
he turned the original story of The Matrix
into a successful video game trilogy
based on his memories that he perceived as dreams
His coworker Jude, takes him to the local coffee shop where he sees Trinity
He appears to show interest in her
when Jude approaches her to be Neo’s wingman
they learn, that she is now known as Tiffany
and is married to a guy named Chad
has two sons, Donnie and Brandon
At work, Neo finds an intruder in his game but they are purged quickly
He is called to meet with his business partner,
Smith, a reborn form of his nemesis within The Matrix
he tells Neo that their parent company Warner Bros
wants to make a sequel to the Matrix trilogy implying that they are being forced to do this
Neo goes to see his therapist
The Analyst
they discuss a previous suicide attempt, which was the moment that the girl saw
Neo stepping over the side of the building
The Analyst also gives Neo a prescription of the blue pills
Neo and his teammates meet with their boss, Gwyn de Vere,
as they all begin work on their next Matrix story
Neo goes day-by-day
feeling a sense of Deja vu
with everyone expressing, their interpretations of The Matrix and its themes
Later on, Neo returns to the place where he talks to Trinity
She mentions having seen her sons play the Matrix video games
and thought the Trinity character resembled her
The offices of Deus Machina are being evacuated, but Neo receives a message to go to the bathroom
He meets Morpheus there and he offers Neo the red and blue pills
Neo starts to freak out over realizing his dreams were real
but Agents begin to open fire prompting Morpheus to shoot back
A gunfight ensues with Smith picking up a gun and yelling out Mister ANDERSON to Neo
After a tense moment where Smith holds Neo at gunpoint
Neo finds himself back in The Analyst’s office
He continues trying to convince Neo, that nothing he experienced was real
At night, Neo gets drunk and prepares to fly as he once did
only to be pulled back by Bugs
and She tells him that Jude,
is a sinister program meant to keep an eye, on him, and she convinces Neo to follow her
They go through a door that takes them onto a train with Seq
and they proceed until they encounter Morpheus, along with Bugs’ other crew members, Lexy and Berg
They show Neo images from the game,
which are just the memories from his original journey with Morpheus in his original form
bugs tells Neo that 60 years have passed, since the war with the machines
and Neo’s true form that the rest of the world sees is that of an elderly man
Neo takes the red pill and sticks his hand through a mirror,
where The Analyst sees him and starts to panic
While he appears to try and pull Neo through to convince him
that he’s just having a psychotic break
the crew is attacked by Agents leading to another gunfight that forces them to run
they runs back onto the train, where the passenger
bots' are corrupted into swarm mode to attack Neo and the others
After the crew fights and kills the bots
Neo go through a small mirror in order for him to be extracted from The Matrix
He wakes up in a slimy pod-like before and he is pulled out by two machines
that the Mnemosyne crew uses
called Cybebe and Octacles, who are loyal to the humans
As they fly him away Neo finds Trinity in the other pod
He is flown through the ruins of Zion,
before being taken to the crew’s sanctuary, where he is hooked up to The Construct
Morpheus tells Neo that he is going through withdrawals,
from what The Matrix has been feeding him
with low odds for survival but Morpheus has confidence in him
Neo is put in a dojo simulation, where Morpheus has them spar against each other
with Neo getting knocked down repeatedly
until he believes in himself again
band uses his power to send him flying out and destroying the dojo
Neo reawakens in the sanctuary
Bugs formally introduces him to the crew
along with their doctor Ellster, who is the granddaughter of Neo’s former ally Captain Roland
When Neo asks about Trinity she says they don’t quite know yet, how to extract her
The crew travels with their pilot Hanno, to meet with the now elderly Niobe
She is angry at the crew, for going against her orders in looking for Neo,
but she is still pleasantly surprised to see him
After dismissing the crew, she talks to Neo about how he gave her hope for a world without war
She introduces him to their head botanist Freya and digitologist Quillion
to show that they have advanced past what Zion used to be
she also informs Neo of the Oracle, telling them of a new power rising
Until they understand what is really going on, she has Neo kept in a tower for the time being
The Mnemosyne crew gets Neo from the tower and they observe Trinity
as she is still Tiffany in The Matrix
In an attempt to free her, the crew re-enters The Matrix and enters a rundown warehouse
There they find Smith who comes with Exiles
that come in snarling at Neo and the crew
including The Merovingian, now reduced to an angry hermit
The crew battles them with Neo utilizing his past fighting skills
before engaging in a fight with Smith in a lower level of the building
he brutally beats Neo, and tells him he won’t be a servant to the higher power any longer
Neo regains his strength and sends him flying across the room
he eventually locates Trinity
She talks about a dream she had of people chasing them with him, and riding with him on her Ducati
It is then revealed, that the mastermind behind the new power in The Matrix
is The Analyst
He succeeded The Architect, and used the machines
to resurrect Neo and Trinity, after their deaths during the previous war
and He originally only wanted to bring Neo back,
but realized that it would only work with Trinity due to their strong bond
He has created a balance for the two of them to be close but not too close
so, they don’t overpower his system
The Analyst uses a bot to go into swarm mode
to fire a bullet at Trinity in slow-motion
as a threat to Neo to return to his pod before The Matrix can be rebooted
which Neo attempts to catch
but The Analyst simply removes it, before it hits Trinity
And Neo has to flee along with the crew
they returns to an infuriated Niobe to prepare for a court martial
Bugs argues with her, that she cares little about their goals to free human minds
A bird-like machine, Kujaku, arrives with a message
Niobe brings Neo to meet Sati
who was originally a little girl exile program
and he met in Revolutions
which has been shadowing him in The Matrix, when he was still Thomas
She says that her father designed the resurrection pods that brought Neo and Trinity back to life
Despite knowing the risks in rescuing Trinity,
Niobe agrees to allow the crew to go along with the mission
The crew carries out the mission with Morpheus and Bugs
working on Trinity’s pod, while Neo goes back into The Matrix
to find her at the coffee shop
He speaks to The Analyst and saying
if Trinity chooses to leave The Matrix he must let her go
otherwise, Neo will willingly return to his pod and The Analyst agrees
Trinity arrives and talks to Neo
saying that she played his game and recognized the images as her own memories
Her husband and kids arrive to try and get her out
but Trinity snaps out of it and declares she hates the name Tiffany
and is officially Trinity
She and Neo battle the Agents, and overpower them once they bond
The Analyst is met by Smith, who fights him after declaring himself free
and he briefly forms an alliance with Neo and Trinity, to allow them to escape
by shooting The Analyst and temporarily incapacitating him
Seq detects trouble in The Matrix, so Neo and Trinity ride through the city on her motorcycle
just like in her dream
The Analyst regains power
starts using bots to divebomb down onto the streets, to take out the heroes
Neo and Trinity make it to a roof, where two choppers fire at them
but he uses his power to deflect a missile and take out one chopper
she then tells Neo, that she remembers everything about them, and their relationship
The two leap off the building together in an attempt to fly, but only Trinity holds that power
and hangs onto Neo as they get away
they are extracted and reunited for good
Neo and Trinity locate The Analyst in his apartment
where Trinity gives him a few good punches for his manipulations
They threaten him if he tries to take control of The Matrix again
and they fly away together
to restore balance to The Matrix
