And did you notice how, in "inner view," the Deus Ex Machina looked like a mandala?

you've obviously never seen a flex capacitor.
"Back to the future" shows some great lightning harnessing.

What really irritated me about this movie was the fact that story, plot and explanation was sacrified for religious symbolism and Eastern philosophy, which was not what the original fans had signed up for.

Your irritation is understandable, but the Eastern philosophy was there from the beginning. Granted, it was hiding in the cracks between all the bullet-time, but it was present. My big beef was they didn't have any other supporting people in the matrix like Switch or Apoc, two supporting characters that I really, really liked. The Big Three (Morph, Trin, and Neo) didn't seem to need any other help, and no one seemed to volunteer to give them a hand either. You'd think being the One would make you popular enough to warrant that.
Btw, did anyone else notice that One and Neo are anagrams?

If y'all watch the Animatrix, considered cannon, you will see in the "Second Renaissance" episode that the aircraft used to scorch the sky use hover pads very similar to the ones on the Neb, Logos and other hovercraft, suggesting that the hover pads are capable of flight at such altitudes, but doing so simply isn't practical when the machines control the surface.
Oh, my God! Who's flying this thing? Oh, right, that would be me...

And what do you have to go on to support your idea that it's Neo's "inner vision" and not code?

Simple, they ripped it off Dune:Messiah, thats why its inner vision, not code.
Note: I'm well aware it was likely taken from somewhere else before Dune.

Speakin' of anagrams, the name of the train station (Mobil) is an anagram for Limbo.

Thank you, this is 100% what I was telling people after M2 came out:
Zion was a 2nd Matrix for those that rejected the Matrix and we hadn't seen the real world yet. I mean I had a 'holy-crap-revelation" moment watching M2 when he nuked the squiddies, it all came clear. But then M3 tells me I'm wrong.
I think there was a rewrite too...
I like our ending better anyway... it would have been much cooler and it's pretty much what the architect was saying anyway.
