CSflim,

Yes, yes you see what I'm talking about. There is no reason for the machines to allow humanity to survive if their only reason is for power.

I mean seriously, are they trying to make us believe that the machines can develop the ability to reengineer themselves, creating newer and better versions, hover tech, the matrix itself, and god knows what else, but they can't build a spaceship to get above the cloud layer? Or even easier, do you think the machines don't know about geothermal power? No one would use their most hated, and not to mention dangerous, enemy as power. Even if it was efficent, which it can't be. For christ's sake use cattle.

I guess that would make it the Mootrix... sorry.

I have a couple of ideas. One, the machines cannot destroy humanity, because of some sort of Laws of Robotics. They cannot wipe out the human race on their own. Which could explain the choice that Neo is given, either save humanity or save Trinity. They cannot destroy us, but by giving him the choice it allows them a way around their programing because they are not making the decision, a human is.

Or the Matrix is for our own safety. The machines may have decided that humans were as much a danger to themselves as they are to everything else. And so they made the Matrix as the ultimate crash helmet.

There's probably more ways that this could go, but as long as it's not the "coppertop" ending I think I can live with it.
