Proof of &quot;Matrix inside Matrix&quot; theory? Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

When I watched Matrix 2 for the second time, I realised, that bit at the very very beginning, where the title of the movie shows, the background is flying through a maze of something and it looks exactly like Zion.

But then, it could just be the insides of that clock. But I do know that the W Bro's are tricky ppl.

what great proof. I hated the movie. what was all that speech an dancing bullshit in the beginning? why does morpherus speak to those people like he's ben gurion speaking to the jews of israel?

and why on earth did animatrix suck in so many instances?

because it's exactly like the movies - all style and very little content.

It sure is pretty damn stylish, though. I want some of Morpheus' sunglasses.

Some of them were, yes.

Final Flight of the Osiris was some really beautiful CG.

The one with the sprinter was cool, as was the black and white detective thing.

The Second Renaissance ones were just more silly Matrix "filosofy" that didn't make any sense, however. I didn't think much of The Kid either.

Reloaded did suck a little though. Without the special effects, it wasn't much of a movie.

Oh no, you're wrong, the story was mindboggling.

Who cares? I had my jaw on the floor for a couple of minutes during some of the fight scenes. I don't care about the story.

Isn't it something to do with the fact that the humans are hoping one day to return to their origional homeland on the surface?

I thought it was a pretty good name

Change Reloaded to "The Matrix" and you would still be right.

I don't care how good a movie looks, if the story and acting suck, then the movie is gonna suck.

I loved it but it's a transition movie. Not as much explaining as the first, not as much conclusion at the final. I still saw it five times, though.

I think the third will be absolutely great (or or complete crap, but hey im optimistic).

I think they could have gone more into the history of the Matrix, but again, that would be good fodder for the finale.

When will that be released btw?

I agree with ya MonkSpider, I thought the second was better than the first.

My only gripe so far with any of the Matrix's (haven't seen Animatrix (sp?) ) is if they are gonna have a love affair with the character Trinity couldn't they have found a hotter/sexier actress to play Trinity that (insert actress's name here) whats-her-face.

The whole Matrix/Animatrix story is flawed at a very basic level. First: there is no way human bodies are the most effective energy source. And second: how are the humans getting their energy and why aren't the machines using the same means. Thus saving themselves the effort of building and maintaining matrices and fighting rebels.

Other than that the special FX are nice.

Yes
When I saw the first and Morpheus makes his well-know speech about how humans are not reduced to THIS (and takes out a small battery) I was so appaled...Evere one at told me about the great plot...
To someone who knows a bit about physics or biology, it is well-known 1.The human body is very poor in terms of efficiency, ranking something like 10%
2.They probably could get more energy-wise by burning whatever they feed the bodies than whatever the body produces...
Of course the premise still works, you just have to find another reason why they would have to keep all the bodies around and build a Matrix....

I think you just have to look past that one LulThyme...besides the human body is extremely efficient compared to an internal combustion engine, but on the other hand, we obtain all our energy indirectly from sunlight (photosynthesis -> ruminant mammals -> yummy steak -> us) so if the planet is blacked out then there would be nothing to feed us But don't get too caught up in things like that, remember, it is only fiction after all

yknow what I would do, I would nuke the most populated areas in the matrix, effectively killing 50%+ of the machines power.

Then just keep going from there
