In the matrix the world is an illusion, and when you escape the matrix you discover another world that is even shittier than the illusion.
A world in which human bodies are used to provide energy to run the matrix (where do these bodies get their energy from isn't explained - presumably from the sun which is used to grow crops to feed the human bodies (but why not use sheep? - or just use the sun directly) - but then why would they need to develop a matrix?)
None of it made any sense.
But I enjoyed the first one and have seen it at least 10 times.
The world where humans were being used as flesh batteries is the exact reality we live in today. It is the illusion. We are being farmed for our spiritual energy.
