      Depends if you go with the original idea, or the battery idea designed by Hollywood execs who didn’t think the audiences would understand.

      … thus proving that Hollywood execs and the people they make their changes for are only good for batteries*, but I digress.

      * For legal reasons, this is a joke. I have to say this because some Hollywood execs have more lawyers than braincells**.

      ** For all the same reasons, this is also a joke.

        Well, the Matrix was a huge success despite being dumb, so they seem to have made a smart decision.
