Here comes the Wikipedia summary. I found myself falling asleep in the fight scenes again. What else is new?
Shortly after the Mjolnir saved the crew of Nebuchadnezzar,[b] Neo and Bane still lie unconscious in the ship’s medical bay. Neo’s consciousness is trapped in a subway station named Mobil Ave, a transition zone between the Matrix and the machine world. He meets a “family” of programs, including a girl named Sati. The “father” tells Neo the subway is controlled by the Trainman, a program loyal to the Merovingian. When Neo tries to board a train with the family, the Trainman refuses and overpowers him.
Seraph contacts Morpheus and Trinity on behalf of the Oracle, who informs them of Neo’s confinement. Seraph, Morpheus, and Trinity enter Club Hel, where they confront the Merovingian and force him to release Neo. Troubled by visions of the Machine City, Neo visits the Oracle, who reveals that Smith intends to destroy both the Matrix and the real world. She tells him “everything that has a beginning has an end.” After Neo leaves, a large group of Smiths assimilates Sati and Seraph. The Oracle does not resist assimilation, and Smith gains her powers of precognition.
In the real world, the crews of the Nebuchadnezzar and the Mjolnir find and reactivate Niobe’s ship, the Logos. They interrogate Bane, who says that he has no recollection of the earlier massacre. As the captains plan their defense of Zion, Neo requests a ship to travel to the Machine City. Motivated by her encounter with the Oracle,[c] Niobe offers him the Logos. Neo departs, accompanied by Trinity. Bane, who has stowed away on the Logos, takes Trinity hostage. Neo realizes Smith has assimilated Bane, and a fight ensues. Bane burns Neo’s eyes with a power cable, blinding him. Neo discovers he can still “see” machine source code in the real world and uses this ability to kill Bane. Trinity pilots them to the Machine City.
Niobe and Morpheus rush toward Zion in the Mjolnir to aid the human defenses. Zion’s shipyard is overwhelmed by a horde of Sentinels. The fatally wounded Captain Mifune instructs Kid to open the gate for the Mjolnir, which he does with the aid of Zee. When it arrives, it discharges its EMP, disabling all the Sentinels present but also Zion’s remaining defenses. The humans are forced to retreat and wait for the next attack, thinking it will be their last stand.
The Logos is besieged by machines guarding Machine City. Neo shuts several of them down[d] but passes out from exhaustion. To avoid their attackers, Trinity flies above them, briefly glimpsing the open sky before crashing into a building. Fatally wounded by debris, Trinity declares her love for Neo before dying. Neo enters the Machine City and encounters the leadership of the machines in the form of the “Deus Ex Machina.” Neo warns that Smith threatens both the machine and human worlds. He offers to stop Smith in exchange for peace with Zion. The Deus Ex Machina agrees, and the Sentinels shut down, stopping the attack on Zion.
The machines plug Neo into the Matrix, whose population has now been entirely assimilated by Smith. The Smith with the Oracle’s powers steps forth, telling Neo he has foreseen his own victory. After a protracted fight, Smith says “everything that has a beginning has an end,” repeating what the Oracle said to Neo. Neo appears to concede defeat and allows himself to be assimilated. Outside the Matrix, the machines send a surge of energy into Neo’s body, which inside the Matrix causes the Neo-Smith clone, then all the other Smith clones, to be destroyed, killing Neo while restoring the Oracle and everyone else who was assimilated. The Sentinels withdraw from Zion, Morpheus and Niobe embrace, and the city rejoices. The machines carry Neo’s body away.
The Matrix is rebooted, and the Architect meets the Oracle in a park, scolding her for having “played a dangerous game.” They agree that the peace will last “as long as it can” and that those who desire to leave the Matrix will be allowed their freedom. The Oracle tells Sati that she thinks they will see Neo again. Seraph asks the Oracle if she knew this would happen. She replies that she did not know, but she believed.

- They finally solve stuff with the machines.
- Neo and Trinity had to die at some point I suppose.
- Good that the story got all sorted out.
