The Animatrix is a great collection of short anime movies from a few of the best anime directors that ever existed. I especially liked The Second Renaissance and The Final Flight of the Osiris. The Wachowski brothers (brother and sister these days) got a lot of their inspiration from anime's like for instance the movie Ghost in the Shell. The fact that they agreed to produce and write some of the scripts was an homage to anime's they saw over the years before The Matrix.

Easily the best Matrix thing I’ve seen yet. The visuals, minus the last two shorts, outpace anything in the live action ones, and it’s more interesting and thought provoking in slices than the live action ones are in hours.

The animated prequel anthology to The Matrix Reloaded, The Animatrix, is a jumbled mess that doesn’t add much to the mythology of the series. Consisting of 9 shorts, different aspects of the Matrix are explored. But for the most part the stories are just inferior versions of what was already done in the first Matrix film. Some of the animation styles are interesting, but they also make for a disparate vision of the Matrix universe. Unfortunately, The Animatrix fails to give any real insight or depth to the series, and instead just creates more confusion and ambiguity.

Most of these short films are great at introducing you to the depths of the Matrix universe. Various styles of animation also let us know how rich the range of this genre is.

A mixed bag of short stories. Some are excellent, some are a little bit worse.

Final Flight of the Osiris - made by Square. Back in 2003 it looked very impressive. Now that level of CG is outdated as hell. Story is like a retelling a snippet for the original movies. Nothing original.

I don't think it's really fair to compare a collection of short films to feature length films. Specifically, I think the difficulty of creating 90-120 minutes of compelling and cohesive story is exponentially higher than creating 5-10 minute vignettes. I think this increased difficulty is largely More

[7.4/10] Let’s take these segment by segment.

**The Second Renaissance**: The word that comes to mind is “chilling.” Having seen this one before, it was lighter on details than I remembered. We learn the basics: humanity attacking their mechanical helpers, a robot revolt and exodus, a thriv More
