My friend summed up the movie into a simple explanation. The entire storyline is based on the same premise of when you trip and fall, get up, dust yourself off and say "I meant to do that!"

Humans build machines.
Machines want freedom.
Humans laugh and point.
Machines break off from rest of world to form 01.
Ambassador makes peace offering.
Humans laugh and point.
War ensues; humans are enslaved.
Matrix created as system of control for human power source.
Design problems: anomalies created.
Agents ensure proper control over anomalies.
Some humans had escaped and created Zion.
Those in Zion free a few humans. War for freedom begins.
*this is ironic, considering the initial position of the machines*
Oracle is consulted and a prophecy foretells of the One who will end war.
*the following happens five times*
The One is found and trained to go to the source.
The One chooses to save humanity from extinction and sacrifices his code.
The Matrix is reprogrammed to remove parts of anomaly and reloaded.
At the sixth reload, Neo is found again.
This time, a very specific experience compels the one to choose love for
a human over humanity in general. This was not planned to happen.
An agent previously destroyed by Neo grows more powerful as time goes
and threatens the very existence of all life inside and outside the Matrix.
As Zion is under attack, Neo goes to 01 and makes a deal with machines:
truce in return for the destruction of the Smith program. Machines agree.
Ultimately, the Smith program is destroyed, Zion is saved and Neo is now
seen as the savior of all. The people still plugged in the Matrix can now go
if they desire to and those in Zion are free to live however they want. The
Matrix is reloaded for the seventh time.

what my question is; how do you tell a whole society of people 'your life is a dream but now your free' I was wondering how they do that. For a while I was thinking they just unplug everyone.

No, hell no. They won't tell people about the nature of their existence
unless an anomaly presents itself! Something that just doesn't hold is
why the machines use humans instead of earth heat (like Zion does).
They really just wanted us out of the way after the war and conveniently,
we could also be used as a power source. That's why the Architect tells
Neo that there are levels of survival they are willing to accept if humans
died. They could use the same power source exploited by humans living
in Zion but they wouldn't be able to catter to the entire machine demand
unless they spread over a very very large area.

If they so desired, they could go back to the surface but due to nuclear
winter, it's still uninhabitable so they will probably stay in Zion. They will
probably colonize other areas as well...

Just watched the movie. In my opinion I think it was excellent but the ending could have been better and less cheesy. The whole Neo/Trinity also spoiled the thing. But no excuse to hate it. I really enjoyed the begginning of the Neo/Smith fight scene but it got way over exaggerated with all the flying done. But hey I'm still glad that my 5bucks was worth it although I should have watched it in a better cinema and maybe if we're lucky we'll get Matrix 4.
Its one where you really have to think and it has a good/deep philosophgy embedded in it. The theories are interesting and the fight scenes were a bonus(but the Neo/Smith fight was like dragon ball and therefore pissed me off majorly)
Dont listen to a fuck what the critics have to say, watch it and make your own opinion. Dont expect too much as well cause then you'll probably come out dissappointed if you do that.
