my friends were all waiting for Rick Moranis to come out of the keymaster room.
Yeah... the "trailer" for M3 didn't really leave a whole lot behind. It was a collection of images and a music montage from the next film. Very lil dialog. Leaves a lot of questions. Guess that was the point. But still wasn't worth sitting around waiting for the longest credit roll since Apocolpyse Now!
I don't really understand the story so I figured I would see the second Matrix for all the CGI effects. I will agree that some scenes were just too freakin long. The Smith/Neo fight could have been cut in half.
I did think it was hilarious when Neo was with the architech and all of the TV screens would show his inner emotions. The fact that Keanu was flipping off the camera, saying "bullsh*t", and ripping out his hair had me rolling in the isles.
Ok my friend had a theory as to why the dancing/orgy/rave scene was actually that long and even in the movie. Supposedly it was included in that aspect of the story to show that Zion was going to party hearty before the machines come and take over. In the context of the movie itself, it wanted to show that these people were true humans and not hooked up to machines anymore. Only true humans could feel desire, passion, and love.

Is Zion/the future "real" world actually part of the Matrix? How else would Neo have those powers at the end?

Zion is where all the "free minds" are. We are all hooked up to the Matrix via the holes in our heads and are controlled by a machine that has programed our life. Well these guys in Zion unhooked themselves as a rebellion to the machines and are carrying on in what life should be. Why Neo had his super powers in Zion... I dunno. But I was hoping to clear up the other part.
