Ok, I took forever to see this movie and I am thinking it was not worth the wait. I have a few questions, because frankly, I didn't get it. Spoilers for anyone else who hasn't seen it...

1. Smith beats Neo at the end, then the machines seem to pump Neo full of energy, causing the Neo-turned-Smith to explode, followed by the other Smiths. Why? What did they do?
2. Why did the machines keep their end of the bargain? Neo failed to defeat Smith, so they didn't have to fulfill their end of things.
3. Related to #2, why is there peace? The machines are still feeding off of humans, so do they stop and make nice? Or do the Zionites simply not care about any of the millions of other people still enslaved? I would think that they would want to free them. As soon as they try, the war would be back on.
4. The little Indian girl. As I understood it, she was in the train station waiting for the chance to cross over into the real world (as in outside the machine... How?) but she goes to the Oracle instead. Why would she need to take the train to the Oracle? They are both in the Matrix together. Why not walk to her apartment?
5. Little Indian Girl part 2... She makes the sunset? Pretty powerful. I thought she was a program "without purpose".
I think the main thing that irritates me is that I find it inconceivable that there would be peace at the end of the movie. Neo didn't do a bloody thing, except die. I guess in that regard, the machines know that they can reload things and start over. They'll probably wait a week and then crush Zion anyway.
Can anyone make sense of this?
