Anthology of nine short anime (Japanese animation) films tied in to the 1999 blockbuster "The Matrix" and its sequels. "Final Flight of the Osiris": The crew of the hovercraft Osiris attempt to warn their city of an imminent attack. "The Second Renaissance, Parts 1 & 2": The story behind the war between man and the machines, how mankind scorched the sky, and the creation of the Matrix. "Kid's Story": A teenager is contacted by Neo, and manages to escape the Matrix. "Program": Two warriors battle in a samurai training simulation when one decides to betray his crewmates and re-enter the Matrix. "World Record": A champion sprinter manages to break free of the Matrix by sheer physical effort during a record attempt. "Beyond": A young girl searching for her cat discovers a haunted house caused by a glitch in the system. "A Detective Story": Private investigator Ash tracks a hacker named Trinity through the looking glass. "Matriculated": A group of humans capture a machine scout and insert it into a 'human matrix'. The Animatrix is a collection of several animated short films, detailing the backstory of the "Matrix" universe, and the original war between man and machines which led to the creation of the Matrix. I thought that THE ANIMATRIX was great, for it to be in a cartoon verson type, i still thought it was going to be good and i was right when i watched it. The moves are just the same, the animated short films are very good and i found the whole animated film very intresting. The first episode grabbed me with its visual style and intense action. The second/third episodes held my attention for the back story showing how the machines took over the world. The fourth episode was interesting for filling in the hole that existed for me in Reloaded. After that, I gradually lost interest with each additional episode, though I did appreciate the diversity of the different animation styles.
