Think about it.

Which one? Come to think of it, I haven't seen any of them!

1/2/2010 4:50:34 AM

The Matrix, like he said
Not the other movies.

1/2/2010 4:52:20 AM

In the third one you find out that Neo just had a shit ton of midochlorians and it goes to hell from there.

I don't get this thread.

BTW,

1st - one of the best movies
2nd, 3rd - commercial crap

"I never understood why they didn't just use cows instead of humans. Advantages of cows: 1: Same amount of body heat (at least, probably more) 2: Much more docile 3: Grow faster 4: Less intelligent and less likely to rebel 5: How hard can it be to program a computer generated field full of grass? I guess we wouldn't have an awesome movie (and 2 disappointing movies) if they had done that though. [Edited on March 18, 2007 at 11:49 PM.

this made me laugh for some reason.

or they could have just used geothermal energy and skip the energy loss caused by keeping humans or anything else alive.

1/2/2010 5:08:50 PM

^that was my initial question... we've got these giant drilling machines, why are we dicking around with humans?

1/2/2010 5:10:43 PM

Using humans for energy production seems incredibly inefficient.

What's the point of the matrix anyway? It would be a lot easier to give every human a spike through the head and fuck up everything but the brain stem, of course a movie about Terri Schiavo instead of Keanu Reaves wouldn't do nearly as well.

1/2/2010 5:17:36 PM

Equilibrium falls into the same trap.

Yes, it's downright idiotic. A better explanation would have enhanced the movie, but the point is people were living a lie for the machines' benefit.

1/8/2010 9:44:00 PM

easy answers...we are their enemy, and they needed a power source "as abundant as the sun."

two birds, one stone

1/8/2010 9:52:40 PM

Know what else is as abundant as the sun and much less likely to revolt?

THE FUCKING SUN

1/8/2010 9:55:15 PM

what?! did you ever SEE the matrix?

Quote :

"We don't know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky. At the time, they were dependent on solar power. It was believed they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun."

1/8/2010 9:59:06 PM

But Mr. Joshua, it was the humans who scorched the sun!

1/8/2010 10:05:20 PM

WHOA

1/8/2010 10:08:54 PM

HOLY CRAP


THE SKY....not the sun....THE SKY

1/8/2010 10:14:58 PM

Scorching the sky makes even less sense. Did they ever explain how they did that?

Even without the Sun, there's no good technical reason to use squishy fleshbags as generators.

1/8/2010 10:17:56 PM

vice-emperor of hollywood al gore says we can remove the sun from the equation. thus darkening the sky and .. uh... maintaining global stasis

its right there in the text you faggots

1/8/2010 10:22:01 PM

Methinks Gore removes the Sun the equation by treating it as a constant, not by somehow stopping solar energy from reaching Earth.

1/8/2010 10:27:04 PM

Simple. We create a massive smog generator that emits thick, black smoke into the sky 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It reaches the lower atmosphere and creates a continuous cloud cover, thus preventing the sun's rays from reaching the earth.

...Except that solar energy gets through clouds...and the machines could probably kill the smog generator...

OK, I give up. How do you scorch the sky?

1/8/2010 10:29:14 PM

Nobody is enticed that coke, acid, ecstasy, and Cap'n Morgan are all code structures to alter brain function without an actual chemical injection?

i hope you have the intel that points to the planet that makes motherfucking sense on

1/8/2010 10:32:38 PM

It makes perfect sense: we're talking about an actual on-paper equation here; you remove the sun from the equation by removing that component on paper, not destroying the actual sun.

As for the relevance of said theory to the Matrix, there I cannot help you.

[Edited on January 8, 2010 at 10:35 PM. Reason : .]

1/8/2010 10:34:47 PM

Hopefully man would have a better plan than that.

"THE MACHINES ARE SENTIENT!"
"KILL THE SUN!"

1/8/2010 11:11:49 PM

Here's a another: If the sentinels and for that matter almost all their 'units' can fly, why don't they fly above the clouds for energy? Seems like they've built some incredibly complex systems not to figure out some kind of solar tower.

And sadly if this were today I could totally see some idiot thinking blacking the sky (somehow) would be a great idea. Probably a scientist with a V2 rocket or something retarded.

1/9/2010 3:44:31 AM

If you want your movies to make sense watch documentaries.

matrix was fun and very buzz worthy
It's like star trek. all that warp drive shit is just never gonna happen, but without it the enterprize would never make it out of the solar system. Not much of a story there.

1/9/2010 9:21:16 AM

Ever see the Matrix... In German? That a confused 17 year old it did make.

1/9/2010 10:03:49 AM

y'all shut the fuck up and eat your popcorn for god's sakes.

1/9/2010 10:05:33 AM

terrible movie. awesome special effects, but a terrible script and terrible acting.

side note, apparently larry wachowski is now lana wachowski.

1/9/2010 10:08:59 AM

The human body is more efficient at producing energy than most of the things we use for energy now.

MOVIE OF THE DECADE

1/9/2010 10:20:09 AM

"Me me me"
"Me too"

some of the best dialogue I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.

3/23/2010 1:44:31 PM

We could scorch the sky by ionizing particles in the atmosphere.

3/23/2010 1:47:35 PM

more like make an expensive fan for people with allergies

if I ever hurt myself, like stumping my toe or something, I think about the Matrix where he's like "it's just electrical signals in your brain" ... and it actually makes it hurt less

Keanu sure thought so with his reported $260 million earnings from the trilogy

3/12/2014 11:02:01 AM

I think I'm the only person in the world that actually liked the Matrix Reloaded. I did not like Revolutions though.

3/12/2014 11:33:10 AM

I enjoyed it, didn't dislike it by any means

3/12/2014 11:42:38 AM

I thought it was a good set of movies too.... and the Animatrix as well
