What our customer's say!

"Much Better Than the Actual Movies", Let me say straight out, I have never been a fan of the Matrix movies. What started out as an obvious ripoff of John Woo films and Ghost in the Shell was drawn out into an unnecessary trilogy for purely financial reasons. The Wachowski brothers are without a doubt two of the biggest hacks in Hollywood, just look at the failure of their Speed Racer adaptation. However, the idea of the Animatrix was genius; take the premise of the Matrix, strip away all the useless martial arts attempts at action scenes and focus on the truly interesting part of these films, the story. The centerpiece is without a doubt the finest; "The Second Renaissance". This two-part story tells the most interesting piece of drama, the back story, and the dark depths to which this chapter goes show the true destructive nature of humanity. If only the films had focused on the first war between humans and machines, we might not have had such horribly acted pretentious dribble. Several of the other shorts are excellent as well. "Final Flight of the Osiris" demonstrates Square's perfection for human CGI animation (second only to Pixar), while Peter Chung takes his hyper-intelligent mold of anime to the extreme in "Matriculated". What becomes clear to the viewer after time and repeated viewings, is these artists are infinitely more creative than the Wachowskis, who should have perhaps stayed as producers on the film trilogy, and handed over directorial control to someone more capable, and more competent.

"Good Set of Stories!!!", Animatrix is a set of short stories that take place in the matrix universe, each with there own animation style. To make this short I'll just say that it's worth it!

"Anime Fused With The Matrix", There is no comparison to the Matrix Trilogy...
Until... The Animatrix was released!

This DVD includes 9 unreleased titles
made buy the guys that brought you The Matrix!

Each short film has it's own story and style.
They still follow, to some extent, the idea that
The Matrix was based off of.

When can we say there's TOO MUCH technology? So far,
I like where we're heading, it brought me this movie...
But maybe some day we will reach the point where our
world is run by it...

"The Animatrix Gift Set (includes soundtrack)", This animation is a mini series of different views of the Matrix. The series are like various examples of how the Matrix function. It could be interesting for the animation and matrix lovers. However i do prefer a single movie rather than short different series.

"a good start.", this animated movie didnt add up to my expectations. seems to me at times it let way off the matrix series and wanted to prove to be better. i would have loved to see just a animated version of all matrix movies rolled into this movie. but i expected too much i guess

"Great Backstory!", I might not like all of the animation from every story, but every story is truly amazing. It gives the back story to the movies and proves that we are to blame for everything. I'd say that most stories will have you glued to the screen, and even in tears. The final story is about humans capturing a robot and playing with it to make it friendly, and at the end, it tries to save one of the women's life. It is a sad story, overall, this is a thing that is worth getting if you are a fan.

"Animatrix is outstanding", Aside from the great animation, the stories have meaning and strangely speaks of string theory at its most interesting level. For those who find theMatrix movie meaningful, Animatrix fills in the gaps.

"A lot better than it's live action counterpart", -The shorts start with "Final Flight of the Osiris" which lets us know where the scans that we hear about from "Reloaded" came from. After it's over we move into what I think should have been in the movie which is the "The Second Renaissance". It lets us know the whole history of how the war between man and machine began, who struck first, and why the machines are so hostile to us. I would have loved to see a live action version of that for the movie but the version we see hear is also very nice. The other stories "Kid's Story", "Beyond", "A Detective's Story", "Matriculated", "Program", and "World Record" tell different stories that range from a kid that commits suicide only to wake up in the real world to a wheel chaired bound athlete that almost breaks out of the Matrix due to his will to push himself. Out of the nine stories I'd say I loved about 8 of them, the only one I can't stand and never watch is the weird one with the program that is trapped inside the matrix or something like that. It's just one big mess of a story and never really holds any interest.

-If I had to pick 3 stories out of the 9 to live on an Island with I'd go with "A Detective's Story", "Beyond", and "The Second Renaissance Part 2". All three have their own unique visual style and all have no connection to each other that I know of. I love "A Detective's Story" because it lets you know how desperate the machines are to capture Trinity and also lets you see Trinity in a completely different light. The Detective in the story is a very likable man who doesn't realize that he's being used by the machines till it's too late. It's a very nice story with a sad ending and one of the best in my opinion, "The Second Renaissance Part 2" is great because that's when you really get to see why the sky in the real world so messed up and also get the answer to the question that Morpheus asked in the first movie which is whether it was us or the machines that struck first. It's told in this mystical way computer way that feels like you're watching a documented history than a fiction animated story and it also helps explain some lines from the 3rd Matrix from the architect especially the line "What do you think I am, human?"

-My favorite story is "Beyond" which a very, very simple story of a girl looking for her cat that discovers a building that no gravity which some kids take full advantage of. I just love how mystical and dreamlike it is, the weird Hisashi like music also helps in creating that mystical aura. The trick to Neo's power is not that he's super human but that he can manipulate the codes in the Matrix and make it into anything he wants. If he wants to fly then he'll remove the codes for gravity and start flying or if he wants to stop bullets he'll just remove the codes that propel it and they stop. That concept is further explored in this story. It's a really great piece of writing because there's not a whole lot that goes on there but just rather you watch kids have fun in the with broken codes for gravity.

-One thing this does a lot better than the movies ever did was to show you the size and scope of the Matrix itself. In the movie you're confined to one city and that's it but in this we pretty much go all around to see what a vast and detailed program that the Matrix is. A couple of the stories should have definitely being in the movie too. "Second Renaissance" and "Flight of the Osiris" should have being in the movie instead of us watching Neo get into one long pointless fight scene after the other. I can understand why because of length they might have cut it but they could have at least given us a truncated version of it.

-I know "The Matrix" movies are suppose to be over but where the movies end that's where stuff like this can go on so I'm hoping that we get more short stories that are as engaging as the ones featured in this pack.

"The Animatrix", Over all great movie(s), however, in my opinion the live action movies are better.

"In some ways better than the three films", I like the Animatrix very much. It is a wonderful walk through the world of the Matrix and it provides us with a history of the world leading up to the creation of the matrix. Some of the stories work well and some work less well, but the diversity of the visions is engaging. All the visions are quite short.

In many respects, the Animatrix is better than the films, which seemed to get shallower and shallower as the story went on. The Matrix writers should have had a closer look at the works of William Gibson and other science fiction writers who have been dealing with VR worlds and realities for some years and doing it in a far more sophisticated way.

Some of the animations in the Animatrix would have been even better if they were "fleshed out" into longer films, some are just right and a couple, like "World Record" could have been dropped completely with no real loss.

I return to the Animatrix DVD often. The DVDs of the films, a lot less often.
