the way I understand it, Morpheus was wrong in the first film, and it isn't anywhere near 2199 at the time they release Neo.

Assuming the Architect is correct or isn't lying, Morpheus is wrong about more than just a date. He's got the whole purpose of Zion wrong and probably the history of humanity too.

I think the whole idea here again is "question what you know", only in a little different vein from the first movie. This one didn't offer any answers, but hopefully the third one will.

What really bugs me is that this whole thing is built on the totally weak premise of using humans as batteries (if they have to use a living creature for power, why not use something more docile, like a cow?). If they could figure out a way to reveal the battery thing as a big lie I think that’d be cool. This is unlikely though, as Morpheous saw it all with “his own eyes”.
