[@ReasonX3]

@@sam23696 Well, many modern blockbusters look way worse then Matrix. So, I'd say that the trilogy has aged really well. Star Wars - Episode II was released just a year before, in 2002, and most of the shots look like screenshots from a video game. I still love SW Prequels, but the Matrix VFX team did noticeably better job, IMHO.

[@SovietWomble]

Holy hell, even aside from everything we learnt from The Architect about this being business as usual for the last 600 years, Zion is utterly doomed here. A few dozen walker units with autocannons? Some turrets with the same? Rusted pipework with some rocket crews scurrying around? This battle was over before it even began with the loss of their hovercraft. I mean what was Zion's plan here? They've banked everything on secrecy. But once that's blown they stand and fight? Surely they needed to cut and run. Load civilians into hovercraft, keep technology as mobile as possible, and hope for the best. Granted, 'we' the audience know that wouldn't work. The machines would hunt down those survivors and re-establish Zion. It's an important part of powerplant operations. But the fact that they tried to stand their ground against The Machines, at the height of their power, is madness. **Edit** - Pondering that some more...wait a moment. The Resistance don't KNOW that the Machines want Zion intact. They speculate that their strategic goal involves killing everyone. So with that assumption, why did they assume the machines wouldn't toss a nuke down that hole? Or an EMP? Or any sort of extremely advanced siege weapon? Basically any option that requires the machines merely throw something boomy into the extremely confined space. The fact that they stood their ground rather than even attempt evacuation, whilst they still have hovercraft, is boggling my mind a bit.

[@QuestionableAdviser_]

algorithm got you here?

[@cyron4435]

you'd think the humans would become suspicious when the machines basically use an infantry attack instead of a nuke, that should've told them the machines were looking to capture not destroy, I agree they weren't exactly thinking straight, evacuation would be more logical from their point of view.

[@khe121]

I see womble

[@augustwinterman6952]

Hello, there. EDIT: Also, a fair assessment. My guess is they assume they're screwed anyhow, so they're giving the machines the finger and not thinking too much about the whys and why-nots of their methods. Also, evacuation might not have been much of a viable option, as moving roughly 250,000 people would take time (which they don't have a lot of), leave a large footprint for the Machines to follow (which defeats the main purpose of evacuation), and they have nowhere to go that has the means to support the population. Even if successful (dubious at best, because there may be only a couple dozen ships in operations to cram a quarter million people), there'd still be a massive population dip because of starvation and disease, and the ships would eventually run out of power, stranding the survivors wherever they land (unless they managed to carry out the means to rebuild with them). Yes, a dispersed population would have done better to ensure humanity's survival, especially as nukes and EMPs are an option. But as Zion seems to be working off of scraps of repeatedly recycled materials that the Machines deliberately left for them, it could be they don't have the means to really establish another safe haven in the span of each cycle. If memory serves, the Machines calculate the rate of growth of Zion's population, and drop the hammer as soon as it looks like humanity might outgrow or expand beyond Zion's confinement, or otherwise find a way to repel the machines. All that in mind, a handful of hovercraft sent out the moment they heard the Machines were digging, with all the recorded information and data from before the fall of Zion, would have been of immense help if Neo's efforts to stop the Machines had failed. A time capsule to aid whoever came along next.

[@ehzade]

it must have a connection with the total wipes humanity had before. It's the 6th time Zion's falling, probably the council secretly knew that they had no chance other than the subjugation and repopulation of the city like it's done a few times before their cycle.

@CCT2 Gaming Small protection is better than none protection. I already made my argument how it would prevent an instant kill for the pilot. Todays soldiers also wear protective wests which are actually not completely bulletproof but still reduces the ammount of damage to the wearer. It wouldnt cost many ressources to just place an armor plate in front of the pilot. In the beginning of the battle they were standing close to each other. Of course they could have pulled sentinels away from their comrades if they were attacked. I also dont like the way you speak to me like I am standing in court.

If you look more closely at the Sentinels, you'll see that they are not military robots, all they have is communication (radars) and engineering stuff (welding device). No guns, no explosives.

[@iMajoraGaming]

That's the crazy part. Sentinels have been around since the days of 01. They're borderline obsolete. No guns, they're transport/engineering droids. And yet That's literally all they need. They are so powerful and numerous, they don't even need to risk their military assets. They just send in some centuries old engineering droids and it WORKS. Think about it, at the height of human military might, in the aftermath of Dark Storm, they couldn't win. What hope did Zion have? So why bother sending in the actual military units, they could have sent some Second Renaissance era serving droids down and they would have won. The Sentinels are literally one of the first droids produced by the AI. They were around when 01 was producing Versatram vehicles and sending envoys to the UN to try to establish a federation with humanity. They're so old that they probably remember what the sky looked like. They weren't even used as military units during the war, because they're not good for that. And yet, they are still an order of magnitude above even the most advanced autocannon Zion could cobble together. They're relics. It's like sending a WW1-era truck with a Maxim in the back to wipe out a civilization.

[@Metaphysicist]

First most writers aren't students of military history and science, Active duty or ex military, and those who are one or more of the aforementioned things might write what is most dramatic rather than what is tactical/particle. This movie is a live action anime and thus Mechs, even though they are western style big chunky Mechs. "Realistically" APUs would be powered armor that is between one and half to two and a half the size of the human occupant at the biggest. Like the Iron Monger suit from Iron man I, or the Landmate Powered Armor from Appleseed, the TAGS from Infinity the Game are another example of super-heavy Infantry. In the films this is there last resort it's plan C. Plan A is a "perimeter defense system", but In the beginning of reloaded it is stated that the Machines are digging straight down and will by pass it. Plan B was to have the Fleet of Hovercraft ambush Sentinels, but Smith who had uploaded himself into a human((Bane) set off an EMP early taking out six ships and the rest were ripped apart. Plan C was to stall for a miracle with 350 APU's and support infantry would attempt to bottle neck the Sentinels in the dock. The Gen-1 APU's were fully armored , but all that did was slow the pilots down,make them dependent on targeting systems, and prolong their suffering when caught; See Animatrix the Second Renaissance. I'm not surprised , this battle is case of drama over practicality. "Realistically" APUs would be powered armor that is between one and half to two and a half the size of the human occupant at the biggest. Like the Iron Monger suit from Iron man I, or the Landmate Powered Armor from Appleseed, the TAGS from Infinity the Game are another example of super-heavy Infantry. The Matrix was made by two brothers now sisters that are anime fans, battle mechs were inevitable.

[@CountCalcium]

I mean the machines intentionally fucked zion over. They pulled the strings and were the ones who left the stripped and nerfed mechs in zion in the first place

[@kineticdeath]

when your enemy can just slice your mech open in moments with a laser beam its probably better to forgo the armor and use that metal to build a second APU. 4 guns beats 2 guns if all the guns are going to die eventually anyway

when you realise that the sentinels aren't even war droids. they're just the janitors/maintenance droids. yet easily destroy the human resistance. the actual war forms were what you see when neo and trinity come up to the border of 01 (the machine city) and get obliterated

would require a long long Trilogy. After all the Machine war lasted from 2099 till 2139 when Humans eventually lost. Humanity put up a hell of a fight. And blocking out the sky helped them for 2-3years gaining lost territories back. But the machines produced themselves to fast and always made better soldiers when humans had the upper hands.
