This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Well, the thing about the movie is that it has great animation, stories, representation, suspense, concept and thrill
. But well, all though it will make you think, rethink, contemplate and stick to till the end enjoying the film to the last bit
.. But the thing is you won't make anything out of it. Cause the doesn't show a story but a couple of them. It's basically a side addition to the Matrix series and if you wanna understand this anime
. You gotta watch the Matrix series first
.So don't watch this before you watch that
.But don't dare to miss this after watching the Matrix series.... It goes everywhere the film didn't.... It's totally worth the time....

It's rather hard to talk about a show like this because it's mostly like a range of different episodes. They may all contain the Matrix like style but there really isn't much that connects them. From the story to the animation, each part is different and told in its own way. The movie gets more and more confusing as the stories keep going, making it hard to get what is going on. There isn't an indication of if you are inside the Matrix or outside it. All I could understand was how pretty the animations were at points and how 'crappy' they were in others. The whole mix of samurai to space age, to computer simulations that look so real that it could be live action, all of that just seemed a little overboard.Question, why does it start out with a man and women undressing each other with katanas? Is it just for sexual looks or is there actually a reason for it? Can someone answer this part for me? The animation was all over the place from CG to Cartoon, to whatever. I felt rather bombarded by all the different art styles just as it happened in 'Dante's Inferno: An animated epic'. The only thing that saved this a little was that the stories were not all linked to one storyline like Dante. When I say Crappy artwork, I don't mean bad artwork. I just mean stuff that really doesn't look right in my eyes. The style that is so loaded with detail that you can see almost every line in the face right next to stuff that is very simplified. I may not be using the right word for it but I have no other idea what to use for it. Now the detail work pretty much is nice in the CG part, but I thought it never worked in the cartoon part of the show.The voices are actually pretty well done and one of the only fluid parts of the show. They have voices that work out rather well for the mood that the 'scene' is trying to show. If it's intense, it sounds intense, if it's slow, it has that feeling. Some of the characters sound like they were voiced by some of the voice actors that were even in the matrix itself.

I gave this a 7/10, but there is no reason it shouldn't have been 10/10. I'm a Matrix fax, but the flow of the Animatrix is all outta wack. They startoff with a scene where the people are in the Matrix/where the Matrix already exists...I don't believe that should have been the first animated movie/scene. The whole story would have been better if they started off with just humans...building the AI, and slowly, and gradually the AI took over. That's my only real gripe...lack of even flow of the storyline. But, nonetheless, it was good; must see.There are multiple scenes that are just stunning...especially the graphics.

of this collection of animated short stories dealing with the matrix,it thought two of them were excellent,one was very good,and the rest ranged from OK to mundane.Final Flight of the Osiris is the first story,and i thought it was fantastic.it was done in cg,which looked great.it was also very fast paced and economical,and fun,even a bit cheeky.i also really liked program.i thought the story was really good,and this one was also economical and well paced.Matriculated was another story i liked,though not as much as the two i mentioned.i liked the animation style and the colour scheme,though there didn't seem to be a very coherent story.as for the remaining six stories,there's a definite drop in quality.there are are a few that are interesting,one even offers up a possible origin explanation for the Matrix(not the movie,but the simulation)itself.some are barely worth watching.since the 3 stories that i liked were so well done,i give The Animatrix a 5/10
