I suppose it *could* be explained as using low tech gear so that the AIs
wouldn't detect them so easily? The city Zion wasn't any sort of industrial
powerhouse with the AIs destroying/annexing everything of any worth during
the "war", leaving them with dick to work with? Maybe they scanvenged what
they needed from junk. Man, I hope there's a book. And a sequel. Or a
prequel.

I was saying that in terms of it being compared to "The Matrix" and the fact
that it had aliens in it and was based on a floating lab in space. Other
than that, it was a middle of the road film noir looking fantasy movie. Uh,
with Jennifer Connelly in it.
