Movie forgeting the movie loves rooftops makes no sense


This movie shows us many 'rooftop' scenes, with people super-jumping around a lot. It shows us agents punching through concrete walls (so these people, NOT being bound by the rules as much, should be able to do even more with their punches), then we're shown people run up walls and whatnot.

Then why can't they just 'punch the ceiling' and escape through the roof when the SWAT team comes to the building where 'they cut the hardline' (which they should know and even predict much earlier, because they should have Matrix Code-scanning tech with them that warns them of things like this, predicts the future and shows the positions of agents and SWAT team people that are near them, etc..ETC!)..

Put ALL the superpowers we are shown together, and Morpheus and the group should EASILY be able to just punch the ceiling and jump up and escape that way.

It's like the movie forgot the rooftop stuff for this scene, it forgot ceilings even exist, OR it treats ceilings as something they CAN'T break, but they can easily break the wall to get into the 'wet wall' tunnel thing...

I am telling ya, this movie makes no sense, because it shows us one thing that implies massive possibilities that are then completely abandoned just so it can show us another thing entirely.

Yeah, 'rule of cool' leads to movies not making sense... I still think it would not have to be sacrificed all that much to bring some kind of sense to these scenes, but whatever.

BEWARE! Avortac4 is a troll trying to waste everyone's time with such idiotic comments. Look at his posts. He doesn't think anything in any film makes sense. His post may seem like it makes sense in the first sentence or two. But he always quickly wanders off into a completely idiotic idea, and then writes a wall of text that makes no sense. And his sole purpose is to waste your time, thinking he's cute for doing so. Don't feed the troll. If you write a comment, you're giving this troll EXACTLY what he wants. Don't comment after my comment.
