Noticed that as well but you had to watch until the very very end to see that Neo and Trinity were 100% powered up at the end.
Also, don't forget that this type of plot was very much foreseeable because the Architect told Neo that he was different from the other "The Ones" because his strong connection to humanity was just one person, Trinity.
They are a duo. A unit.
If anything, the Wachowskis were preaching a message of marriage and how neither a man nor a woman are whole without the other. This was a good Christian movie (lmaoooooooooooooo!) teaching people about the importance of marriage and being there for your spouse.
Also, the new "Smith" is not even remotely close to Hugo Weaving's depiction. It's not nearly as good. Not even close.
The movie actually made fun of Warner Brothers, directly in the movie, as part of the dialogue. I was floored that WB execs let them put that in the movie. They directly stated that they were forced to make a 4th movie because copyrights were running out and WB didn't want to lose the rights.
All in all, this movie was far more enjoyable than I thought it would be. It's not even remotely as good as the first 3, of course. But it was still quite enjoyable.
I am glad I took the time to see it. It did a good job of getting in your head and making you second guess yourself like the first one. Didn't think it was possible since the story was already told.
What I don't understand is why the Male-Female couple, being the central point of the film, was pushed so hard by the Wachowskis considering the huge LGBTQ:LDKFJ:LDJF+ push and advocacy. Pushing traditional relationships so hard like that? Unsure what's up.
