Given that the thread is labeled "SPOILERS", I see no further reason to do so.

I'm fairly certain it's another Matrix. Given how Neo was able to handle the squiddies, I don't see how it can be otherwise. Also, how can The Architect be correct if it's otherwise? I think that's why Neo appears to be in a coma now. He's working it out.
The problem with a mythology like this one is that it can be nested arbitrarily deep. How many "realities" are needed? For that matter, how do you know
we're not in a Matrix of some sort?

A couple reasons: 1) How can Agent Smith survive in the "real" world? He's a program. Reprogramming himself into a human program is one thing - binding himself to a human brain is quite another...or maybe not *shrug*.

Yes. If they say that he can reprogram a human with himself, like a "Snow Crash" virus, that's one thing. If he morphs the human into his own looks... it's proof that the "reality" in this movie is another Matrix.
If the "super matrix" theory is true, then The One could be another program (like Deckter is another Replicant in "Bladerunner"). This would explain how The One and Zion came to be in the first place: the machines made them as a relief valve. I mean, you're going to tell me that humans somehow built Zion with all its support equipment w/o help? I dunno.... I don't think
any of this is outside the Matrix, in one way or another.
After all, if you think you've freed yourself, you stop fighting. As I said, it's a relief valve.

3) How did Neo stop the Sentinals at the end? This is what finalized my opinion.

Mine too.
