»The German translations are good compromises«

I was looking at the German texts you comment upon. I agree, better translations would have been possible, but they would not have been lip synchronised. As every film that is dubbed, Matrix is between a rock and a hard place in this aspect. I think they have found good compromises in all cases.

I early each case I would have translated it differently (better). Sorry, but for some examples there are no excuses.

One change I did like in the German version is that after Agent Johnson says "Only Human" instead of saying "Dodge This" Trinity says, "Only a Machine." Both are cool lines.
