NOKW - Matrix 3

Here comes the next chapter in our "I'm Okay With, I'm Not Okay With" series (if you don't know what this is, click here for all of the past posts):

Movie:  The Matrix Revelations

Basic Plot:  The final and dumbest chapter in The Matrix Trilogy and surprise, Neo somehow saves the humans from annihilation at the tentacles(?) of the machines.

I'm Okay With:  The fact that despite not being hooked into The Matrix when Neo passes out after destroying those killer flying robots with his mind at the end of the second movie, he is somehow trapped in a computer program at the beginning of the third movie.  The fact that Neo isn't able to defeat that punk-ass conductor guy, but is able to make machines explode in the real world.  The fact that Agent Smith is able to transfer his consciousness into a human mind and make his way out of The Matrix.  The fact that Carrie-Anne Moss is a "meh" at best.  The fact that the humans are able to survive without sunlight and a diet that consists of a paste-like substance that probably has no nutritional value.  The fact that when Neo is blinded, he sees the real world as if it were The Matrix code even though it is not a computer program....or is it?  The fact that people can watch Matrix code and somehow that translates into images for them.  The fact that the humans use geothermal energy to power Zion and the machines thought it would make more sense to harvest inefficient human energy opposed to also harvesting the way more efficient geothermal energy.  The fact that Agent Smith converts everyone in The Matrix into himself by the end of this movie, but the good guys don't ever see him or any of his clones again while in The Matrix from halfway through the 2nd movie until the final fight.  The fact that Neo is able to make robots explode with this mind in the real world, but doesn't bother to try something like that when fighting Agent Smith in The Matrix at the end of the movie.  The fact that I know Keanu Reeves is a terrible actor, but he still has a pretty good acting resume and I actually enjoy his films.

I'm Not Okay With:  The fact that the machines weren't able to find the humans way earlier than they did.  Seriously, we know that the machines literally have hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of those flying killer robots that do nothing but search for humans and it still took them years to find the human city of Zion   What the hell were those robots doing this whole time?  Socializing?  No, they're fucking robots, they don't chit-chat about the weather, all they do is follow their programming and that programming is to find and kill all humans (Bender Shout-Out).  If the machines have that many flying killer robots, you would think their robot brains would have made an efficient search and destroy plan and disperse their flying killer robots accordingly.  But no, it took them way too long to find Zion and that is unacceptable to me.  Sure, the humans had scouts that would destroy any killer flying robots that got near Zion, but with that many killer flying robots disappearing in the same spot, it should have tipped off the machines that they were getting close and sent in way more flying killer robots to that area.  Machines are supposed to be soulless, logical, human-killing entities, but they somehow couldn't find the humans in a way shorter period of time.  I am not okay with that.

"Those things that are being shot at are literally thousands of flying killer robots, why couldn't they have used those to find the humans, it would have taken way shorter."
