Spoilers, obviously, if you come into this thread and say there was no spoiler warning in the title, then I'm afraid there's little hope for you as a human.
Why bother showing truth looking at the ark? By the time truth got there, they had already been digging the ark up for a month, they already knew what it was, the dreadnought had already landed in the center, otherwise truth wouldn't have bothered to come yet.
Oh hey, here's a scene of truth looking at a buried portion of the ark. Who cares that they've already dug up 99% of it, let's show them the section that isn't dug up.
Maybe they wanted to show the the superintendents data core was right next to the ark all along......but does that matter at all? No. They show quite clearly that the entire city was right next to the ark all along.
