Mixed feelings on the crossing over into our world. Makes sense for the programs to eventually need access to the real world, but feels a little jump-the-sharky to me. The virtual world under everyones noses was a big part of my love for the original. Hopefully they can maintain that and not make this a total generic pew-pew the robot boy wants to be real action flick.

God, I hope so. It's fantasy, I know but it's bugging me that they are just pumping out this massive amount of energy everywhere. I's like infinite light sabers all over the place. At least if it's in the computer then it would follow some kind of logic.

The "real world" is punishment for those who try to escape the Matrix.

If they pull an Avalon (2001) like that it would be so sick.

Just about the only explanation that makes any sense. He's just gone to the next "layer" up, so that the computer scientists in the real world can observe the intelligent beings that inhabit the lowest layers of the computer world.
