[QUOTE="Technik4, post: 1209219, member: 7211"] [b]Rationalization[/b] I suppose, although sentinels are never seen to have that capacity. As fast as they were getting taken down in this movie, it seems they could have shot them up and chased down any trying to broadcast "we found a ship". Either interpretation seems ok, my point was sentinels seemed stronger in the other movies whereas in this one they are the fodder getting taken down like flies. Which brings me to these APC (APU?) thingies. Its been said that Zion has been in skirmishes before, (which doesnt follow, as that implies the machines know where Zion is, which is the crux of the first movie and skipped over in the second) hence the need for such defenses. And someone else made a good point about the front not being covered, I kept waiting for another thing to get lowered over the pilot - it would seem the din of all those guns would cause you to go deaf and the vibrations would make it near impossible to aim with any accuracy. The training courses must have been brutal though, I mean obviously they were done in the matrix (I know kung-fu) on how to operate/target sentinels, so why doesnt every 'holed' citizen in Zion have that capacity? I know there arent that many of these units, but its only a few seconds to have the knowledge. Inconsistencies were mounting (but there was a chance the 3rd movie would dispel them), but little was revealed (and I can understand not revealing some things, for the mystery) and more inconsistencies created. Hence my distaste. I still feel it is a decent movie, and it IS the kind of movie I go to the movies for (big action/explosion) it just let me down in terms of the potential I assigned to it (being as good as the first, or possibly (gasp) better).
