Product Description: From the creators of The Matrix trilogy this groundbreaking collection of nine short films from seven of the world's leading anime directors provides a visionary fusion of CG-Animatrion and Japanese anime.Running Time: 89 min.System Requirements:Running Time 88:57 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY Rating: NR UPC: 085393731625
Amazon.com: Matrix writer-directors Larry and Andy Wachowski commissioned seven artists from Japan, America and Korea to make nine short films set in the world of their feature trilogy. Some of the top anime directors contributed to this anthology, including Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll), Koji Morimoto (Robot Carnival), and Shinchiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop). Some of the films tie directly into the narrative of the live-action movies. Drawn in a style reminiscent of Jean "Moebius" Giraud, Mahiro Maeda's The Second Renaissance (Part I & Part II) depicts the human-machine wars that caused the enslavement of humanity and the creation of the Matrix. The duel between two flamboyantly costumed Kabuki warriors in Kawajiri's Program is an expanded version of the cybernetic training Neo (Keanu Reeves) undergoes in the first Matrix film. Watanabe evokes the look of old newspaper photographs in A Detective Story, which falls outside the storyline of the features. Fast-paced, violent and grim, The Animatrix is an uneven but intriguing compilation that represents a new level in the ongoing cross-pollination between Japanese animation and American live action. (Not rated, suitable for ages 16 and older: considerable violence, violence against women, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

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 ... Read More

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!

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 ... Read More

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.
Rating: -
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
