I have a question: How authoritative is the Animatrix? What I mean is how closely related to the Wachowski (sp?) Brothers are these episodes? Can we take what we take what we see in these films as "fact", or or they simply short stories "inspired" by The Matrix?
One thing that strikes me is the way certain details don't seem to match the film. In the 1st Morpheus said (correct me if I'm worng) that history of the war between man and machine was very patchy, and that they were unsure of who struck the first blow. The second renaissance shows that they have a detailed account of what happened (how!?) and that humans struck first.
He also claims that the EMP is the only weapon that they have against the Sentinels, In The Last Flight of the Osiris we see them attacking the Sentinels with guns.
One other thing is that in Osiris, it is claimed that Zion is 4 miles below the surface of the earth, now while this is more believeablle from a physical point of view, its hardly "close to the earth's core", unless of course Dozer (I think) was talking in a relative way, meaning closer to the earths core than the surface.
Other minor details seep through the stories, just wondering how "seriously" to take them?
