I think we are getting to deep into the movie..I also thought there could be a matrix within a matrix, but if that were true...then whats up with the bodies being there and being free from the first matrix ya know...also I think that Neo will have the power to mess with machines and programs outside of the matrix..i don't think he could actually use his powers against humans...i think the reality is real...but then what would be past the other matrix if that were the case?..and what does the engineer mean by balance? The dream Neo had when Smith took over that one guy before he went back obviously means he's out of the matrix...and hes still in it at the same time I guess...I'm gonna have to see the movie again lol
