The Animatrix [Animated Series] (2003)

Member Rating:

Raising the anticipation level for the two Matrix sequels, the Wachowski brothers opened up the franchise to a handful of animators. The project resulted in nine animated shorts that present stories related tangentially to the feature films. World Record features a track star who gets a brief glimpse of life outside the Matrix; A Detective Story chronicles an old-fashioned private eye's attempts to track down the mysterious Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss); Beyond finds a young woman exploring a strange abandoned building; Final Flight of the Osiris includes events that occur just before those in The Matrix Reloaded; Kid's Story follows a teenage boy as he attempts to break out of the Matrix; Matriculated shows a group of humans trying to reprogram a sentient robot; Program features a battle within a simulated samurai fight-training program; and The Second Renaissance Part 1 and The Second Renaissance Part 2 are pseudo-documentaries that reveal how the machines came to take control of the Earth. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

this video is not for idiots who are too shallow to understand the qualities of animation for story telling and the raw emotion it is capable of presenting. if you think anything animated is best left to "the simpsons" or "family guy", this isn't for you. if you know that you are capable of watching animation without thinking back to saturday morning "cartoons", then this is a very interesting series of short stories, presented by several different directors and producers, which bridge the gap between the first matrix, and "reloaded", the second matrix movie. i found the stories touched on topics that were very different and creative, things they may not address in the movies at all, in some ways. if you love the matrix, or even like it a lot, and you can enjoy animation, this is a great rental, and i would recommend it to anyone interested.

This was an excellent addition to the Matrix Collection. Many of the stories were prequels to the live-action movie and served to tell the story of how the machines came to power. 'Beyond' is one of my favorites. There is something magical about that short film that I just love. 'Final Flight of the Osiris' is excellent as well. I highly recommend watching this if you are a fan of the other movies.
