The Animatrix | Rotten Tomatoes

Audience Member Cant believe this is over 20 years old and i'm only seeing it now. A must see for people who appreciate true art and a must see for free thinking invividuals. Completely blows away any recent sci-fi animations i've seen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Lana P A Brilliant 1.5 Side Story To Set Up The Underrated Matrix Sequels Especially The Matrix Reloaded Revolutions & Resurrections Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Will S "The Animatrix" is an absolute gem that complements and expands the Matrix universe in ways that are both creative and visually stunning. This anthology of animated short films dives deep into the lore, offering a richer understanding of the world beyond the main trilogy. Each segment, crafted by different directors, brings its own unique flair, resulting in a tapestry of styles that is as diverse as it is captivating. From the hauntingly beautiful "The Second Renaissance," which provides a chilling backstory to the rise of the machines, to the adrenaline-pumping "Final Flight of the Osiris," every piece adds depth and intrigue. The animation quality is top-notch, varying from hyper-realistic CGI to traditional anime, keeping the viewer engaged with its sheer variety. One of the standout aspects of "The Animatrix" is how it seamlessly integrates different storytelling techniques. Some segments are philosophical and introspective, like "Matriculated," exploring themes of consciousness and free will. Others are action-packed and exhilarating, such as "Kid's Story," where the protagonist's escape from the Matrix is a thrilling ride from start to finish. The voice acting and sound design are equally impressive, enhancing the immersive experience. Each story is accompanied by a fitting soundtrack that underscores the emotional and thematic elements perfectly. What makes "The Animatrix" truly remarkable is its ability to stand on its own while also enriching the Matrix saga. Fans of the original films will appreciate the deeper insights and additional context, while newcomers can enjoy the anthology as a collection of standout science fiction shorts. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Liam D A collection of some of the greatest creators in modern anime to deliver some uneven but interesting stories in this anthology Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Antonio G Disfrutable al 100% para la comunidad fanática de la franquicia y explicando muchas cosas en cada capitulo que quedan vacías en las películas Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/16/23 Full Review Georgan G Unique animation which sets the stage for a sci fi ride. However, could not play them in any order nor was there narration to help viewers comprehend what is happening. Honestly, can not recommend this except to Matrix-heads.
