The movie is thermodynamically wrong

"to study human neural kinetics to develop new highly complex program"- that would have been a better plot.
I wonder why wachowsky choose human being to become batteries for the machine.couldn't they find any other ideas to depict human slavery by machine.
energy is available as long as the matter is available.why didn't the machine go to the center of the earth where heat is still available.25000BTU of body heat is nothing when compared to 5000 degree celsius of heat at the center of the earth.Why didnt they try nuclear energy.controlling fusion wouldn't have taken even 0.0001% of the toil needed to wire and control human being in the matrix.movie is technically and logically incorrect.

But if you have a source of energy and at the same time a source of control over your enemies, why would you try to find a better one.
The termodynamical energy at the center of the earth is proven to be almost unreachable. It is not like you can go there and take hot boiling lava in a 10 gallon bucket.
Other resources are dry, and even we know it; and the nuclear energy ... well, after a nuclear war at the face of the earth. Maybe that is completely dry too, it is not like you can put earth into a nuclear bomb and expect it to blow.

I agree about the double-winning it is just that, it keeps the enemy under control and also prevents them from revolting again, the energy is not a problem itself; this solution also provided machines with a purpose I think, because they could also have killed them all but they didn't I presume because that will also imply not having anything to do themselves i.e., extinction by end-of-the-program or something like that.

Yeah I've always wondered why the machines didn't just use dogs for batteries, or something. Or even "grow" people with no frontal lobe or something. Why use fully functional people? Maybe the machines were rubbing it in the human's faces. "Nyah nyah nyah! We won and you didn't! Now you gotta sit there and take it! Nyah nyah!"

Being a very obsessive movie lover, i have come to accept that they(movies) try very hard to imitate life(art imitates life cliche) or nature in your case. That is actually all they can do, imitate and try to minimize errors. And that is the beauty of movies. and that is what the matrix did
The Matrix for me is not really about futuristic AI powered machines that do all they can do to turn humans into batteries, but instead I see it as a sort of escapists' way of bolting out of his/her, otherwise worthless existence. worthless meaning, lacking of a more noble stature. It always gives me the chills everytime i rekindle the idea that this is not reality, and that at any moment now, i will wake up. and pick my bereta.

Who cares, the purpose of the movie is to entertain us not to be thermodynamically correct.
