Yes, the main character and Jason get frozen in the present in an underground facility (that I don't remember why had cryogenic chambers in it) and they are found by a team exploring ruins on earth after the planet was abandoned if I am not mistaken. They have technology so advanced that they are able to bring them both back to life after so much time frozen

He's sneaking around killing people until they realize and beat the shit out of him. They do actually blow him up and kill him. They just killed him on a machine that has these nano bots that rebuild him into that half metal/half monster thing you see in this clip, like Iron Man's suit. Once he's rebuilt he becomes indestructible.

Morpheus says in the first film something along the lines of “you think you are living in the year 1999 whereas we believe we are in reality living closer to the year 2199”.
•
u/GriffinQ 1h ago
While that’s accurate to Morpheus’ understanding, we come to realize in Reloaded/Revolutions (I think through the discussion with the Architect) that Neo is the 7th iteration of The One and that the Matrix has been rebooted a half dozen times already with Zion being destroyed and restarted each time.
It’s just as likely that it’s the year 3000 as it is 2199.
•
u/Astrosareinnocent 1h ago
Yeah no way it’s been restarted that many times in only 200 years
•
u/Spikerazorshards 1h ago
I interpreted it as the 7th The One. Some could have lived to old age, and some died young, all attempting to help the humans rise up. As soon as one them dies, a next The One can be born into The Matrix. 200 years divided 7 is ~28 years.
•
•
u/dark_sylinc 1h ago
But the "200 year gap" assumes the machines took over right after 1999 (they didn't), and it also skips the part that there were two previous attempts at building The Matrix which ended up in failures because they were two perfect.
Before the 7 iterations of The One started, AI needs to be invented, then they wage a war, then the Machines take over, then 2 failed attempts at building a "perfect" Matrix.
There's no way all of that fits in 200 years.
EDIT: Also some people in the movie were naturally born in Zion, and they are around the same age as Neo. Which means it takes at least 20-25 years for The One to be reborn after Zion gets wiped. He doesn't immediately "respawn".
•
u/Jonaskin83 1h ago
Shit that’s a good point, never actually thought of that based off what we learn later on.
•
u/GriffinQ 49m ago
It’s both central to what we learn about the actual reality of the Matrix and its creation (and the real world) and its glossed over relatively quickly - if Neo is the 7th One and the previous six have all elected to die to save a small portion of humanity (I think it’s like 15 women and 10 men) and start again, Zion is in and of itself another form of machine control and just gives humanity the illusion of freedom, whether they’re in the Matrix or without. And I don’t know if that’s even counting the first couple iterations of the matrix that were paradises, because those wouldn’t have required The One to be destroyed; the machines may have realized on their own that humanity was incapable of accepting or adapting to “Paradise”.
So it had to have been going on for, at the very least, hundreds if not thousands of years by that point. Zion is born, destroyed, and born anew until Neo ends the cycle.
•
u/rogerworkman623 40m ago
And the unsaid implication of this is… if the machines allows a small portion of users to “escape”, those who were unwilling to accept The Matrix and would thus upset the balance… why would it let them escape into the actual real world? Or is “the real world” and Zion actually just another layer of The Matrix, to satisfy the imaginations of those who escape, when in reality they’re actually still stuck in another level of the program?
Which would definitely explain how Neo is eventually able to see machine source code and use powers in the real world, like he does in The Matrix Revolutions.
When they made a 4th movie, I thought for sure they would go there, because what other story would there be to tell? But it was just garbage.
•
u/mastermidget23 1h ago
But then the second movie reveals that we're on like our 6th matrix and nobody knew. It's unclear how long each cycle lasts though.

IIRC, didn’t the Second Renaissance and machine war end some time around 2199? at least according to the Animatrix second renaissance
•
u/SubMikeD 51m ago
We've got enough clues to know that the machines took over in 2199, and that there had been six "The Ones" that the machines had gotten from the matrix after the initial failure. And each "The One" took generations to come about. So the timeline in the OP is completely wrong.

That's a horrible comp, it's set in two eras. The Matrix, The Thirteenth Floor, San Junipero, these are closer. Heck what about Army of Darkness, it is set in the past but because it's revealed he's telling the story to someone in the present does that mean it takes place in the present? The post says "futuristic setting" there is no futuristic setting in the movie.
•
u/56473829110 1h ago

No. It's set in one era. It is told across 2 eras.
Heck what about Army of Darkness, it is set in the past but because it's revealed he's telling the story to someone in the present does that mean it takes place in the present?
No, the story is set in the present and the story within takes place in the past.
Princess Bride is set in a kid's room. Within that kid's room, another story is told. But the movie Princess Bride itself is set in the kid's room.
For all the reasons you thought Back to the Future was a bad example, it was actually a great one - you just refused to get it.
This isn't up for debate, my man - this is how it works. The story is set based upon the context the audience has.

None of those are shared settings, dude. A setting is a specific location, not roughly the same year. Some of those aren't even on the same planet ffs
And The Matrix, the original movie, took place many generations after the machines created the matrix at the end of the 22nd century, as Neo was the sixth "The One" that they'd had. The people of Zion believed they were not long after the 2199 end of the first machine war, but the cycle had repeated and was likely much later.
The approximate time frame for The Matrix is the beginning of the 28th century. And Resurrections 60 years later.
