I enjoyed it. I was a bit disappointed in how the story was shown. But I wasn't disappointed with the story. I think the answers are there, but they certainly aren't clear, as if they were for any of the movies in the series.
Here's my thoughts in very VERY basic terms.
From what I understood is that the machines needed the humans again. The machines were growing to a critical mass in which they could no longer acheive any sort of progression. Hence all the duality and hence the architect being there to "balance the equation". The Oracle's job was to unbalance the equation. She set about to acheive a way to bring the humans back into the equation in order to reach a way to progress again. This got out of her control with programs "acting" human, Merovingian, Agent Smith, etc. She needed the "One" to meld the humans and machines into a world that they can be codependent on eachother. Agent Smith threatened this. The One could cancel him out. Neo is an extremely powerful human, Smith is an extremely powerful program. Get rid of the extremes when they cancel eachother out, and you can reach an equilibrium.
This is certainly not the whole story, and I just walked out of the theater and haven't thought about it much more yet. I'm looking forward to hearing people's take on the whole story. I'm sure there is plenty I haven't picked up on yet.
