I bought the animatrix with my pay as soon as i got it. Read on....
The animatrix consists of 9 short cartoons, all of which are about 15 minutes long. Some of them are decent, othes are just crap, and others are brilliant. Here is an individual reveiw for each episode.....
Final Flight of the Osiris
This is one of the best on the DVD. Exellent graphics, and some cool scences. It starts of with two characters having a sword fight. Then they stop because of incoming sentinels. They rise up to the surface, and decide that Jun must enter the matrix to post a warning about the amount of sentinels on the surface. Ill leave it there. This paticualar episode sets the scene for "The Matrix Reloaded" and the game "Enter the matrix"
Rating : 8/10
The Second Renaissance (Parts 1 and 2)
This one is brilliant. It tells you the compelte history of the matrix, why it was made, and what Zion was like before it. It is in 2 parts, making it half an hour long, and it is narrated. It shows you the war of man vs machine, and gives you everything you need to know about the Matrix. I wont spoil it for you.
Rating : 9/10
Kids Story
Kid is a boy in The Matrix Reloaded. He is the guy who comes up to Neo saying "hey, thanks for getting me out!". It is a brilliant episode, complete with the "The matrix has you" text on kids computer. It shows him trying to "get out" of the matrix by running away from the agents. There is a nice little skateboard scene, with him doing tricks and grinds to get away
Rating : 7/10
Program
Well, unlike the last storys , this one has absolutly no link to the history of the matrix. It shows a girl trapped in her favorite simulation, with a man who wants her to come with him into the matrix. Pretty pointless really
Rating : 6/10
World Record
Oh god. I almost fell asleep in this one. Basiclly a guy trys to beat a world record, and is beggining to "Wake up" in the process. Absolutly Stupid
Rating : 2/10
Beyond
This is probably called Beyond because it has near enough nothing to do with the matrix. It shows kids in this place, somewhat discovering that this is not real, and they are doing backflips and hovering and stuff.
Rating : 5/10
A Dectective Story
Black and white. Shows a detective looking for Trinity. Has a little gunfight in it, but thats the only exitment.
Rating : 5/10
Matriculated
Had absoululy no idea what was going on here. It was something to do with trying to get a robot to join there side by doing all this weird stuff to it.....

Dont buy the Animatrix unless you are a matrix fanatic. You have been warned.
