<p>The Matrix Reloaded starts when Neo and Morpheus have already successfully freed quite a few people from the Matrix. The setting is supposed to be Zion, the last human city.

There are more ships as well.</p> <p>In Reloaded, it is assumed that Neo is going to be able to do all of the amazing stuff he did in the end of "The Matrix", such as fly, jump into people, dodge bullets, run up walls, etc. The Wachowski brothers said in an interview that they wanted to be able to have a believable superhero movie, and "The Matrix" was a great way to make that happen.
