Matrix Overload

Anyone who's read my review of The Matrix knows that I think it's a pretty awesome sci-fi/post apocalyptic/martial arts piece. However, even I have to confess there are some small problems with the plot, just like in most sci-fi movies. However Peter B. Lloyd has written a massive piece on the subject, pointing out many supposed plot 'errors' and then exposing them as in fact, just larger parts of the genius of the matrix. A lot of the errors are things that make perfect sense to me, like "how can a socket in your head control your senses? How can it be inserted without killing you?" I mean, something like that is sci-fi standard. If you feel the need to ask that question, then you probably shouldn't be watching this movie. Even so, the answers are very well researched and make you think so go check it out!
