Actually I found that the entire scene played out the concept of God vs Human pretty well.
It's got its own philosophical failings, but more importantly it's an example of some pretty piss-poor storytelling. It's the climax of the mysteries we saw in the first half of the trilogy, but they don't show it, they just tell it - in an awfully acted dialog exchange between two characters. There are so many better ways of presenting that kind of resolution to your audience - they could have made Neo's choice revelatory, instead the average audience member was either confused, bored or annoyed with the most important scene in the trilogy.
Quite right. Interesting. That was quicker than the others.
oh god am I
TRAPPED IN A MATRIX???
Also, why does everyone who comes back into the matrix have to dress like a fucking tool? Leather trenchcoat, knee-high alligator boots and sunglasses at night for no fucking reason. Either bring some Kevlar or dress like a normal person.

WACHOWSKIS: you know what's awesome? ANIME. LET'S COPY EVERYTHING ABOUT ANIME, EVEN THE SHITTY PARTS
They were writing a live-action Ghost in the Shell when they first started the original script.
that makes sense, since ghost in the shell is exactly as boring as that architect scene
SAC was good though
SAC is one of the few anime shows I can stand because it isn't just screamy little girly-boys swinging around oversized swords or something
it actually seriously approaches the ideas of AI, police states and politics
One thing I really liked about SAC was the prose. There are too few shows out now that really do good with character interactions and showing how people tend to behave. Granted, the Major was basically a cyborg Mary Sue, but most of the cast was still pretty solid. Especially the voice acting. I couldn't really stick with the show in the long-run, because it was just too serious. It's pretty rare that any show can keep my attention without a balance of humor and action and drama in the mix.
Twelve Kingdoms did this extremely well, although the premise of the story and a lot of elements to it probably seem downright absurd to a lot of folks.

I would have thought so to, but I've found those who fall short of the greatness of this truth.
Speaking of greatness, do you get your nick from Invader Zim? (Cause that show kicked ass)

I do
but a lot of people here despise it so I don't bring the show up
What if the simulated reality hypothesis is real and 12/21/2012 just happens to be when our scientist overlords / 12 year old The Sims player decide to see what happens in a world wide catastrophic event?

I remember that one captain, Roland, being pretty reasonable with his clothes, just a dark suit, nothing crazy
But he was an older dude and not inclined toward foolishness it seemed

I don't know I think they look pretty fucking cool. well ok some of them.
And think about it though, most people wear like t-shirts and shit. If you have a computer that can dress you anyway you want, why wouldn't you go for leather and Armani suites and shit?

the matrix is what would happen if i was put in charge of a costume department
Has anyone ever seen one of the very first Matrix trailers? IIRC you can see a bit of the film crew when it shows a clip of Neo running sideways on the wall in the lobby shoot out.

i also liked read or die ova, but i can't watch it for very long because the gratuitous titty flopping makes me wince in sympathy
TETSUUOOOOO
So they can identify each other.

The animation was, and still is, pretty awesome.
The story hasn't aged well.
