My theory is that after Zero One was bombed the machines lost. Please note here that Zero One and Zion are pretty much the same word. I believe at this point in Second Renaissance the machines were enslaved into a Matrix and in order to make them believe that they were real in the real world they were put into a sub-matrix governed by the machines we see (like the sentinels).

Why would the machines be enslaved? Ethics. If we clone a human, does that give us any right to kill the clone? Is it any different from killing a normally bred human? No. The fact of the matter is that the clone is a sentient living being. To a certain degree the machines are too. AI, it thinks therefore it is. The machines know pain, they know what feelings are, they know oppression, they're social and they have the desire to pro-create. All just like humans.

Think about it.
MINDFUCK!
I like this ending, but I doubt that it will turn out to be the real one.
But yeah, you're right ZeroOne/Zion is definately of some significance or other.
It would also explain why the EMO from the nukes that bombed ZeroOne didn't destroy the machines....


BTW: On an unrelated note if ANYONE decides to post spoilers in this thread, I will personally hunt them down and kill them...painfully and slowly.
We are all aware that there are (supposed) spoilers available on the net. If I want to spoil my most eagerly anticipated movie ever, I know where to look, and I will do so of my own accord thank you.
