[QUOTE="Zappo, post: 1212917, member: 633"] You don't have to only use one EMP. From what seen in Revolutions, the machines attacked in large waves, but one EMP could take out an entire wave in one shot. It could be argued that the first EMP fired would damage the others - but there are several easy ways around this, such as hiding the second and successive EMPs beyond range. Besides, they could have EMP-trapped the entire path from the surface to Zion.How? You can't hack into anything unless you actually have a physical connection to it, passwords or no passwords. I don't think there's a big cable from surface to Zion, and radio communications don't seem to be easy either. Besides, even if they got the codes from Morpheus, all Zion had to do was to change them.Considering the squid carnage that the Hammer dealt, I reckon a single gunman could have taken care of 5 of them. The crew could have even attacked them with the electro guns when they breached the hull; they seemed to work fine in Zion. Maybe it would have worked, maybe not, but the crew didn't do anything at all except waiting for Neo to wake up, and that doesn't make sense.Me too. :D Still, it's incredible that the Neb didn't have a single turret, and that noone used the electrogun.A connection needs a device to run on. No device means that something psionic/supernatural is going on in reality. That doesn't really fit the tone IMO. Or, there is another explanation that we weren't given (hidden device in Neo's implants?), but since we weren't given it, it doesn't count. :DI'm curious to see what the Matrix videogame will pull out about this.Possible, but it wasn't clear. They are just secondary characters, no point in making us wonder whether they are alive or not.Symbolism in movies is great, and there [i]is[/i] some of that in the Matrix trilogy.
