here is the real plot hole in the matrix. Why didn't the machines put the humans back in time to when we didn't have computers, back to ancient times, that way no human could possibly figure out the matrix? I guess the computers are stupid.

Just out of curiousity... What movies do you consider NOT dumb?

Obviously, great movies like "Notting Hill," "Runaway Bride," and more recently, "What a Girl Wants" are all great movies, far surpassing the Matrix without a second thought.:beer::D

better question: why not just kill off the humans and use bears or horses for power. I guarentee you you'll never hear a bear say "i know kung fu".

Yes....the machines like multithreading..... and you never know....if you get pregnant.....perhaps you have a baby....... what an easy way for the machines to increase the number of humans.... Wow.

Or they just type in, "rm -rf baby" and the problem is solved. Abortions in the matrix are so simple. :D

What makes you think a computer is required to escape the matrix? Don't you remember the Oracle and the kids?

Well if the ladies didn't get preggers..... It'd bring a whole new plot twist to Matrix.

I mean really, if girls couldn't get preggers, what guy wouldn't sit around and try to have sex all day. Neo would be pimpin himself "Hey i'm a superhero, lets go back to my place". It'd bring a whole new meaning to Matrix: Reloaded.

Throw in some 70's music.....some astroglide.

Unfortunately there would still be those virii guys.....but they wouldn't be for the computers.

Well the reason they put them in modern day (as agent smith says in the movie) is to be at the height of human society. If they put them in ancient times you would have shorter life spans. Don't you want batteries that run longer?

If you get pregnant, you have a child. If you get your finger chopped off, you will have one less digit and will have to switch to a base 9 number system.

probably if you conceive in the matrix the machines take a sample of DNA from both parents and clone a child. Explains how they keep up a steady supply of energizers.

I thought it would have been great to have people good looking in the matrix (Neo, tirinty) but have them be butterfaces in real life. You don't have to look like you do in the matrix, right?

Or even a first thought.
