Matrix Shmatrix
OK, so I don’t consider myself a Nitpicker, and I’m not obsessed with Movie Mistakes, but there are a few things I just can’t digest about the second and third Matrix movies. Suspension of disbelief is essential especially in Sci-Fi movies, and I feel that certain inconsistencies in the latter two movies totally ruined it for me. The list is by no means exhaustive, so feel free to add your own in the comments.
- For some reason Neo can fly so fast cars explode when he goes by… but Morpheus fares just as well as him against an agent- on top of a moving truck.
- They have machines as tall as sky scrapers each with enough firepower to take out a large country, yet the only clothes they can produce are thermal underwear.
- Apparently everyone in the future is young and gorgeous. Except for the tribunal of twelve ancient people who fell out of a Benneton ad.
- They can’t make decent doors for their cave dwellings, but they have some sort of massive sound system for their huge underground raves.
- They have these huge ships that are way more advanced than our space shuttles, yet they are stuck on earth because they can only hover.
