You got to be kidding me. Taking this way too literally. The battery thing is brilliant in how human existence has been reduced to a horror.
Matrix is an excellent sci-fi movie. It was especially amazing when it came out in 1999. Matrix 2 and 3 are amazingly bad though. Some movies should not have sequels. I think it would be remembered as an all-time great if they hadn't made the sequels.
100% agree. First one was awesome, other two were meh.
It's always hard to keep the coolness going on with sequels though. Terminator 2 is one of the few that was even better than the original.
Matrix 2 and 3 are in the top 3 or 5 of worst movies ever made. It makes it easy to forgot that Matrix 1 was fairly decent.
Aliens also kept up in the quality department when compared to the original Alien. (Although they weren't exactly the same genre, sci-fi horror vs sci-fi horror action).
Both T2 and Aliens had James Cameron as director so maybe it's not surprising.
I don't think it specified that this is the only thing they ever fed them? Just that it happens.I would have gone with the biggest plot hole being feeding the dead to the living. After enough times no calories would be left to power your copper tops thanks to entropy. So food would have to be produced somewhere.
Yes, although Prometheus was kinda dumb. Graphics were great but the story was meh.

While I won't spend my time defending Matrix 2 or 3, I think for you to make a statement like this, you ought to actually watch say the IMDB bottom 50 films
Even saying, "in the top 3 or 5 worst high-budget blockbusters" still seems a bit implausible; there have been so many bad films released: the Star Wars prequel movies, or 'Wild Wild West', just off the top of my head.
Of course, a film bombing at the box office isn't necessarily a sign of a film being utter bollocks, but 'Battlefield Earth' and 'Catwoman' are on this list:

why couldn't the machines wrap their heads around nuclear energy??
maybe they had hippie machines who didn't want to fuck up a planet with no sky.

The main plot hole for the Matrix is the notion that humans generate energy, and would be useful to to plug us in to a power station of some kind.
People do not generate power, we consume it. There is no point in plugging us into anything to generate power. If you accept that the basic premise of the movie is wrong, and enjoy it for a sci fi style kung-fu movie it is ok.
WWW was awful, but decent for what it was. I mean, it was an intentionally stupid and obnoxious film which, after listening to Kevin Smith's glorious story about writing the spec screenplay for the the Superman flick that never happened, really makes you appreciate WWW more, strangely enough.
Matrix 2 wasn't meant to be dumb. It was supposed to take itself seriously, but in the end, it is probably the most incompetent piece of rubbish ever put to celluloid, from the top down. Every single frame was nonsense garbage.

I mean, it does matter in that them feeding the dead to the living isn't the biggest plot hole. Not refuting the rest, just that specific statement.Doesn't matter. To make food you have to take energy from somewhere.
The machines energy production process would look like this
Energy from somewhere > Food > Human Heat / Bio-Eelectricity > Energy for the machines.
Thermodynamics basically states at every transformation of energy you lose some. So it is hugely inefficient compared to
Energy from somewhere > Energy for the Machines.
I enjoyed the Matrix sequels. The architect was a very interesting character. Best thing about the sequels was how it depicted the necessity of order.
Don't get why people hate them so much to be honest. They were solid IMO.
What is baffling is how so many people act like Revenge of the Sith was anywhere near good. It is like they are too dumb to know better.
Ah!I mean, it does matter in that them feeding the dead to the living isn't the biggest plot hole. Not refuting the rest, just that specific statement.
Time to reenter the Matrix: A remake of the seminal sci-fi film could be coming soon, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Though Warner Bros. reportedly hasn’t decided what form the 1999 action movie will take this time around, THR claims a reboot is in “early stages of developing” at the studio. A source told the trade that Michael B. Jordan is being eyed for the leading role, originally played by Keanu Reeves.
If he can stop bullets couldn't he also stop their punches?Supposedly that was the Wachowski's original plan but the producers thought it would be too hard for the average movie goer to understand.
2 and 3 May have been something of a let down, but I still think the Merovingian fight scene was one of the best Hollywood movie fights choreographed ever.
He fights multiple baddies at the same time and even when they are coming at him serially it's mostly because he's manipulated the fight to have a few seconds take a guy one on one.
Contrast that with contemporary yet laughably bad fight choreography in Blade II
20 guys show up and wait their turn to be dispatched by Blade, one by one, who stands in a big circle and doesn't move much.
