Terminator Salvation, since the filmmakers seem to plot the whole war as just a ruse that leads directly to earth that sets The Matrix. Like The Wachiowski's first outing with The One, it's a retro-satire of John Connor's heroic acts discovered in reverse (precisely what The Matrix is forwards, Zion denizens think the search for the one is important, when it's really what the machines have put them up to: the task of finding him to ensure their enslavement). Think about it. They do the same thing to Marcus Wright, they bring him in for reunification (the pre-Zionists even string him up in a Jesus pose) just as Neo was supposed to accomplish meeting the architect. Connor, Reese et al are possibly pawns in the machine's grand game. Afterall, the inventor of sky net is a woman, Serena Kogen, who plots her machine game beginning with a willing death-row inmate. Rather ingenious if you really ponder the scale of it.

She could be the matrix. 

It goes WAY over the audience's heads, but it is precise if you watch the film carefully (begining with a parallel Warner Bros. logo shift). Check out all those pre-squiddies (and their POV).
