Anyone see The Animatrix? Any good?


Recommended Posts

I just got matrix reloaded. Is that animatrix worth getting? Does it shed any light on the story they're trying to tell? Any insight into what's actually going on?

its good...simply from an art perspective (if you like animation to begin with)...but I couldn't see a tie-in or an explanation into anything to do with the Matrix series...I'm simply a fan of any good animation.

3 parts of it do show some background into the story -- takes place before the 1st Matrix movie.

First 3 parts was all I saw though and it was good.

Yes, it does shed a lot of light on the story they're trying to tell, removes a lot of myths and false interpretations, and also has the most important element of Revolutions in the Kid's story.

I've seen it and thought some of them were good, they are all stories based in the matrix world.

There is a two part one which tells the story of how the matrix came to be which i thought was good and i also liked one about a house which contained a glitch...

I'd say its worth getting if your a fan and you can get it cheap..

Well, I saw a lot of tie in. The one where the student is getting away ties in directly with the guy that keeps bugging Neo in the movie. Others don't tie into the story directly, but show how the Matrix affects real life in other areas. Of course, the CGI short is the message that they speak of in the beggining of Reloaded and the first sequence just gives you background.

All in all, you are correct. It's great if you're into animation, but some of my friends that aren't didn't "get it".

2nd Renissance alone was 10xs better than Reloaded so I'd say its worth it. It gives a short back story as to how things got to be they way were in the first movie. I wish they would make a full length anime out of that short.

I think you can download the Second Renaissance Parts 1 and 2 from the Matrix website. Aside from Final Flight, they are the only two worth watching.

I really liked "Matriculated", man that was some trippy ****! Interesting in the way they were freeing the "machines" too, i think that story is going to be very relevant to the final Matrix film.
