Is Groff the guy at the very end?
Why would Neo be trapped in any simulation? I feel like the story would have to hinge on Neo not being aware he's in a simulation, which is hard considering his powerlevel at the end of the third movie. Thus I think for him to be not aware, he'd have to have a powerful emotion ruling over him, making him continuously live in a "dream world" like this iteration of the Matrix. Grief seems to make the most sense.
This trailer also begs the question: what of the peace reached at the end of the trilogy? Is it in jeopardy now? Supposedly they were going to release everyone FROM the Matrix - did they not do that?

Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.
Excited for it. Hope it's a fun experience.
Just noticed that the release date (12.22.21) is a palindrome. Considering all the mirror effects we've already seen in the trailer, wonder if it's a hint to some of the themes of this movie - I'm now coming around more to Vegas's idea of him being trapped in a "mirror Matrix" created by the machines.
If you watch the trailer closely, there's a moment where Trinity is at the edge of the screen, and he can see the green code scrolling on her face, as if she's just another piece of constructed code. I don't remember how/if people showed up in his Matrix-debugging-mode, but we know machine programs like the Oracle and Seraph, her bodyguard, appeared as golden lines of code. Fake-Trinity might just be another form of control.
I don't believe that was the deal that was reached. Neo made it so Zion would be free, even Neo has to know there is no way to take in all the people released from the Matrix. From lore, I believe that would be a death sentence for the machines as well. So Neo just stopped the war between Machines and Zion for the most part.
There's that great shot of Neo in the elevator with everyone jacked into their phones and considering the time we live in today compared to when the original came out, I think that's an element they could plug into the plot in some way - everyone being constantly connected in and kinda zombies.
Entertainment industry scared to venture out and do new things. Get stuff like this.
On the positive I believe there will some good scenes in the movie. (Action, CGI etc) Negative I am not very hyped.
**Sidenote**
Makes me think of WoW. When I think of the entertainment industry, video games suffer from this too. I love you WoW. I am happy you finally decided venturing out the past two expansions from TBC recycle. (WoD and Legion) It just sucks that Shadowlands had massive cuts to content...

Meh. I'm not sure what I was really expecting but that trailer did absolutely nothing for me
But what I dont get and maybe this has already been talked about is: isnt the whole point of the 3rd one is that we are now at peace with the machines and people can leave the matrix freely?
