It went by pretty quick. I think this was the deal:

One door would lead to the Source and allow Neo to smash the matrix, and save Zion (although Trinity would die). The other door would allow Neo to get back into the Matrix, and (perhaps) save Trinity. But if he chose that door, Zion would be destroyed and Humanity would become extinct.

If the architect was telling the truth, Neo had to choose between love of a woman and love of humanity. Two different types of love. Did Neo make the right choice? Was the architect steering Neo in a particular direction? Was it a good direction, or bad? Did Neo behave in the way the architect wanted?

Noen of this is clear until the third movie. Which I hope is better than the second.

Not quite.

Neo had 5 predecessors. All 5 chose the same door (not the one Neo chose). Both doors result in the destruction of Zion (remember when the architect talked about how they were becoming "exceedingly good" at destroying it?).

If Neo chose one door, he would select 23 people (16 women, 7 men) to be removed from the Matrix, and restart Zion.

The door Neo chose will supposedly result in a catastrophic system failure of the Matrix and the extinction of humanity.
