A poll, just for fun. Do you think that the rebels/Zionists in The Matrix were (mostly or completely) cruel, deluded fundamentalists commiting one atrocity after another for no good reason, and that in-universe their actions were inexcusable?

Upvote for "The Matrix makes no internal sense and there's no fun in discussing it."

I agree (the franchise established itself as rather one-dimensional... in about the first 40 minutes) - but hell, I get into discussions about TWILIGHT, man. I'm a slave to public discourse.

Wow. That sequence was drastically less violent than I remembered it being. I noticed (for I believe the first time) that they actually made some attempt to avoid infinite ammo action movie syndrome. Also I must have thought the cartwheel bit was cool when I first saw it, but now it looks quite ridiculous and/or dated.

Maybe it's time for a rewatch.
