TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This is one of several animated short films that are based on the Wachowskis' "Matrix" movie. The director actually worked on special effects for several very famous films such as "Titanic". However, I have to say neither the characters nor the action made this really look like it belongs to the series except the fight in the first 2-3 minutes maybe. This fight sequence also includes the shot of the Asisn girl of which we only see one eye that was used for the Animatrix cover. This lack of Matrix connection is not necessarily a criticism on these 10 minutes as the animation is fine and the story isn't too bad either. The action didn't do a whole lot for me though, so i wouldn't recommend it. but then again, I am not a great Matrix fan anyway, at least this is a common denominator.

guylkinggirl Overall the CGI was extremely realistic, especially in the real world. When the Osiris is attempting to escape the sentinels, it almost looked like it was cut out of the Matrix movies. Though the CGI looks very good during the scenes in which you see the entire ship and all the sentinels, when there are closeups of the characters faces you can tell that its obviously CGI. But the fight scene in the beginning with Thaedus and Jue was a pretty good piece of animation, and their movements were very realistic. It was engaging how gradually they showed more skin, but I have to admit that the CGI was so good that I was hoping that Jue got fully unclothed instead of Thaedus. Jue was hot!, it would have been interesting to see her in Reloaded wearing the outfit she wore during their fight scene. Anyways the plot is alright given that the whole movie is only like ten minutes, and its even better if you've seen the movies.

Star Wars Lover Final Flight of the Osiris is the only good segment of the awful Animatrix. In the beginning of the segment shows Thadeus and Julie in a virtual training with swords when a Sentinel alert appears.Thousands of Sentinels are been detected on the surface. In the surface, they detect that the Sentinels are going to dig and destroy Zion. Julie goes to the Matrix with the mission of putting a message to alert the Zion capitains. Infortunatelly the Osiris is destroyed and all tripulants are killed. That's why the name Final Flight of the Osiris. The segment is really cool. The only problem is of to buy the whole Animatrix collection to see the movie. After the segment, the Enter the Matrix game begins(In the Post Office).After Enter the Matrix, Matrix Reloaded begins.

stevenleadbetter Spoilers Ahead.Of the nine films in this collection, this is clearly the most faithful to the feeling of the original movie script. This jumps in almost directly after the events of the original Matrix movie.After Neo becomes 'The One' and shoots off, superman-style, we are led to believe that shortly afterwards the adventure on the Osiris takes place.If you are already familiar with the story then you will no doubt be aware that the Osiris is the sister vessel to the Nebuchadnezzar, the ship manned by Morpheus, Trinity and Neo.The machines have put a new plan into action to halt the rebellion of Zion. The machines have located Zion underground and are drilling towards it. This is a fact unknown to our brave band thus far, but the crew of the Osiris are about to discover the truth.The actions taking place in this short film are directly related to the start of the 'Matrix Reloaded' and the events that unfold there.Like all of the short films in this collection, this is produced by the Wachowski Brothers themselves. Created by Square USA, this Final Fantasy-esque adventure is pure eye-candy. In truth it does little more than set the scene for the beginning of the second film in the trilogy and does not (story or plot-wise) stand up to close scrutiny.Though beautiful to look at, it is touted as much more than this but fails to deliver in almost every other department. Following the jaw-dropping swordfight at the beginning of the film we are then led down a pedestrian path, plotwise, of the Osiris' attempts to escape from the Matrix's Sentinels. In an attempt to lose the Sentinels they head down an uncharted tunnel, flying at whirlwind speed in the Osiris.Accidentally they find themselves at the surface of the planet and they are greeted by a site that chills them to their very marrow. Hundreds of thousands of Sentinels working furiously in co-operation with a huge drilling machine.They quickly deduce that the machines have located the underground city of Zion and are drilling straight down into it. The last bastion of man would surely fall if the machines were to reach it after years of searching.Knowing they must get this information to Zion, but knowing they will never get there, Jue (our female lead)is despatched into the Matrix to post a package that will ensure the rest of the human race will know what the machines plans are.Again we are treated to some stunning special effects with the action jumping smoothly from Jue's acrobatics in the Matrix to the plight of Thadeus, captain of the Osiris and his attempts to give Jue some time to get the message posted safely.Ultimately the Osiris is overcome by the legion of Sentinels they are running from, a referral to which is made in the second motion picture in the trilogy.In summary, this is a very enjoyable, if simple, prequel to the events taking place in the Matrix Reloaded. As I said, it is quite stunning to look at, but for all of the appearance, it's content is lacking. If the intention was merely to enlighten us to the upcoming plot, then it really needn't have bothered as we quickly ascertain the goings on when the second picture starts. It is difficult, I understand, to feel anything for the characters as they are all new and we don't get to learn very much about them in the short time we have with them, but more could have been made of this, which is little more than a beautifully rendered extended trailer for the new (at the time) movie.
