I just finished watching I, Robot for the first time... and it brought up memories of a scene I watched some years ago. The scene is very clear in my head, but I can't for the life of me remember where it's from; if it's a movie, a short film, maybe an anime (at first I thought it was from Animatrix).
The scene is: Machines/robots are taking over what looks to be the U.S. (possibly the world); there is a battle raging, and the military is fighting back. You see scenes of the soldiers (?) being briefed, getting into various vehicles/mechanical suits/etc., and heading for the battle nearby. There are closeups of how easily the soldiers are being picked off; and the deaths are rather gruesome... you see men being crushed/impaled by the machines. The machines seem to outnumber the humans, and the landscape is desolate. There might have been flying machines; maybe even some with mechanical tentacles, and maybe a "leader" machine (but I'm not sure).
All in all, I think I gave up on this (movie? animated film?) early on because it was too depressing to watch...what with the battle being utterly hopeless, as the machines clearly had the upper hand.
Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Before anyone suggests it-- I really don't think it was a Terminator film.
