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.

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

Spectacular prequel material.
The "Second Renaissance" storyline of the battle against the machines is unforgettable.

A must watch if you plan on seeing Matrix 4

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

To really understand the first three films and to have the background for the next one(s), this is a must watch. I would highly recommend the Enter the matrix video game scene play. Search YouTube. This is all part of the story going into this years installment. There is a large part of the story not told but all a vital part of the original storyline of the films. This is all needed for the appreciation of this years release.

A great cross-section of anime for Matrix fans

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2003

Verified Purchase

Personally, I love the Animatrix, and I believe the Wachowski brothers repay a large debt of gratitude and creative license to the Japanese animation industry by exposing so many talented animators and directors through this collection.
However, those hoping to get all of their Matrix-universe questions answered before the release of "Matrix: Revolutions" may be sorely disappointed by this showcase. Although some short films provide backstory (more in the descriptions below), they are also standalone pieces. The strength of this collection is in the strength of its contributors, and it provides a diverse cross-section of modern Japanese anime which will give the uninitiated an opportunity to see what's being produced.
The short films in the collection are:
"Final Flight of the Osiris" - This short produced by Square (also the production company for some of the best video games of the past decade, and the "Final Fantasy" film) provides an almost creepy example of "digital actors" whose skin texture, bounce and movement are nearly impossible to distinguish from the real thing. Only their lip sync gives it away. The story involves the captain and pilot of the Osiris, the doomed ship which (in the Reloaded timeline) sends the warning to Zion that the machines are digging. It is also a direct introduction to the "Enter the Matrix" video game, as it depicts the drop of the letter which Niobe or Ghost must retrieve from a post office in the first act of the game.
"The Second Renaissance, Parts I and II" - If one can overlook the fact that more information is contained in this "Zion Archive file" than Morpheus told Neo the humans knew, these two short films provide a compelling and lushly illustrated history of the fall of humanity and the rise of the machines. In particular, the fluid art style and the haunting voice-over make this an easy 18 minutes to spend, and it invokes more sympathy for the machines than you'll get from the human-centric viewpoint of the Matrix films.
"Program" is the weakest film in the series; mercifully, it is short. Although the animation style is as classic in the world of anime as "Snow White" is in the world of Disney, the story line is weak. I enjoy this more if I turn down the sound and just watch.
"World Record" attempts to illustrate what happens to a human in the Matrix whose desire to accomplish something physically pushes him to the brink of the reality he thinks he knows. The art design is not for everyone, but is beautifully realized with tremendous detail in every cell. The music is also a plus. This won't add much to your "Matrix IQ" but is a very creative exploration of what happens to people whose minds are not freed by the Zionists, and who do not find their way out through a computer.
"Kid's Story" is one of my two favorites on the disc. It ties into "Matrix: Reloaded" by telling us how the annoying kid in Zion came to know and love Neo. It's no secret to those who have seen the film that the kid "self-substantiates", or gets himself out of the Matrix without help. His journey to that point, though, is detailed in a lush, deliberately-paced, gorgeously-scored piece of animation that will leave you breathless. One of two films directed by Shinichiro Watanabe of "Cowboy Bebop" fame.
"Beyond" - Koji Morimoto (an assistant animator on the legendary "Akira") turns in the most inventive and beautiful short piece of the disc. It takes a simple question - what would happen if the Matrix's physical rules malfunctioned in some locations? - and explores the answer, from the bizarre physical happenings that children call hauntings to the arrival of futuristic wrecking equipment that razes and rewrites the affected locale. This, along with "Kid's Story", makes the DVD worth the price of admission.
"Detective Story" - this black-and-white second entry from director Shinichiro Watanabe plays like a Sam Spade film. Its comic book style is stark and beautiful, and the addition of Carrie-Anne Moss's voice really grounds it in the Matrix universe. At the end of the day the story doesn't matter much, but it's an enjoyable nine minutes all the same.
"Matriculated" - Peter Chung (of Aeon Flux) shows a real flair here for art, but tells a somewhat convaluted story of humans who try to get machines to "choose" to betray their own kind. My complaint with this piece is not its technical execution, which is brilliant and shows that Chung dedicated himself to improving an already great talent, but rather in its plot. Like "Program", watch this one for the art.

Red Pill Overdose

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2003

Verified Purchase

Though a few segments fell flat for me ("Matriculated", "World Record"), the others more than make up for it. Combining anime creators with the Wachowski's post-apocalyptic vision was a stroke of pure genius. "Second Renaissance" plays as a prequel to the first film, sort of a pre-history of The Matrix. "Final Flight of the Osiris" and "Kid's Story" serve as a go-between, bridging the first and second films. The others are kind of an anything goes approach, but attain a cohesiveness in style and theme. "A Detective's Story" has a downright tangible future noir feel that I can't recall seeing since Blade Runner. The ghost story "Beyond" manages to be spooky, fun and beautiful all in the same frame. The extras on the DVD are great fun as well, extremely informative, and packed with clips of the anime those interviewed are referencing. The soundtrack CD -- available separately or in a two disc gift pack -- is the equal of the film, a great CD that'll likely stay in your stereo for some time. Nicely done, and a must have for any Matrix or anime fan.

In love with Animatrix

Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2003

Verified Purchase

I am going to be brief and not explain every segment in this dvd. However, you must see this in order to understand why The Matrix and Matrix Reloaded was even started. You will be surprised as usual it is humanities need for control and our beutiful way of self-destruction.
The animation was excellent! You learn a little about Trinity. And remember the boy who is always thanking Neo for saving his life in Matrix Reloaded- you find out why. You also find out why some programs are working for the humans while others are not. Some of the stories are little confusing so you may have to watch it again to get the gist of the movie.
The dvd I have has The Visions, Translator, and Extras on it. Interesting if you like learning why they created the animation they way they did.
If you are into the deepness behind The Matrix and not so much action then you will enjoy this dvd. If you seek action you will get some of that but you may be disappointed.
It is all about CHOICE.

Elle est pas belle cette adaptation du monde de Matrix ?
Certes ya pas les producteurs véreux qui ont tellement été sur le dos des frères Wachowsky (V for Vendetta) que "Reloadead" & "Révolution" (surtout ce dernier) ont été mal goupillé !
Il faut dire que aux commandes des ces différents segments aussi différents les uns des autres, on y retrouve la crème des réalisateurs Japonais, qui n'ont content pour certains d'avoir réalisé leur "Chapitre" ils ont bossé aussi sur le scénar d'autres segments !
Aux programme ont y trouve le formidable Yoshaiki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll/D Bloodlust/Highlander, Seachc of Revenge/Cycer City/Wicked City/Demon City) collaborateur du réal d'Akira, pour ne cité que ça !
Ainsi que Shinichiro Watanabe, créateur des cultisssimes "Cowbop Bebop" & "Samouraï Champloo", sans oublier Peter Chung le créateur d'"Aeon Flux" (l'animé pas les le film), et le réal (j'ai oublié son nom) de l'oeuvre révolutionnaire "Blue Submarine N°9" (1er animé a mélangé 3D & 2D de façon permanente a l'écran) !
Faut-il parler des clin d'oeil aux films, avec le 1er Arc qui précède "Reloaded". A Néo, Trinity a Kid et j'en passe !
De + qui est fan au moins du 1er film sera forcément intéressé par les 2 segments sur l'origine du futur dans lequel ont se trouve et comment ?Ben oui c'est bien beau nous monter un futur, mais encore faut-il l'expliquer ?!
Une oeuvre beaucoup + poétique que les 3 films réunis, même si l'original a été une grosse surprise pour un blockbuster en 99 !
De + non seulement les segments en lecture intégrale font + d'une 1h30, mais il ya quasiment 2h de bonus sur ce Dvd que chaque fans d'animation ou de la "fameuse" trilogie se doit d'avoir !
Oeuvre sortit en Dvd chez nous en 2003, déjà, mais n'est pas resté dans le souvenir de beaucoup, et n'a jamais été disponible dans les nombreuses réédition de la trilogie, consternant !!?
PS : Un des réal, que je ne connaissais pas, a mis presque 3ans pour faire son segment de + de 10mn !

A sneak peak at the Animatrix

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 21, 2003

Verified Purchase

OK, firstly this is not a *full* review as such. Of the nine episodes this DVD contains, I have seen three. But I can tell you, that these three short animated movies are pure works of brilliance.
The first, "Second Renaissance: Part One" gives a fascinating incite into how the machines started to break away from their human masters. "Part Two" which I have not seen yet, gives the story behind the war between man and the machine and the construction of the Matrix.
"Program" looks at a story set within a training simulation, it deals with honour, deceit, love and war and is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat right up until the finale, I won't give away the ending but it's one to watch out for.
"A Detective Story" is set around a detective being given the case of hunting down computer hacker 'Trinity' (whom you may remember from The Matrix Trilogy). Featuring cameos from both Trinity (voiced by Carrie-Ann Moss from the movies) and a number of agents, this anime "film noir" gives an interesting incite to the Matrix from a completely different point of view.
These short animations (each being at about 10 minutes in length) give a fascinating incite into the world of the Matrix, shedding light on the movies and the characters within them, as well as giving us the chance to look at the story from a different perspective. Brilliant.
