Animatrix Discussion

hey, this is for people who've seen the animatrix and would like to discuss it...

So, what did you think about it?
likes/dislike?

Overall I thought it was great...the animation is so good...my favorites would have to be Osiris, The Second Renaissance I and II, Detective Story, Matriculated, and Beyond...they are a great compainion set to the matrix..im happy to own it

I really enjoyed them, they are great...good suplimental info

As I have mentioned here before, I hate the unoriginal contrived crud that is Second Renaissance. But I don't feel like talking about it all over again; read the older threads.

I found the 2nd renaissance to be fairly disturbing, but other than that the animatrix wasn't too bad...

beyond was visually beautiful and the others offered decent insights into the movies 🙂

but enough w/ the scantily dressed girls... please

Ushgarek-- you can close this thread... I didn't realise it was a *previously covered subject*

my bad

I saw the detctive story on the killermovies website. ITs really good, but i just want to know how old is Trinity??? The detective story took place around the 1930-1950s if im correct.

i think that final flight of the osiris was amazing, and the graphics were brilliant. the second renaissance was very boring, and the rest were okay. Does anyone know if there will be another animatrix to coincide with the revolutions cinema release?

Well Ushgarak, if you watch the documentaries and special features from the Animatrix then you will realise why the guy chose to use real history and real events as influences and images seen within the animation. Quite clever really.

But if you think that is unoriginal then...so is the Matrix because that was created through many different anime movies, comics, live-action movies as their inspiration. Watch the anime series Cowboy Bebop and the Manga movie Ghost in the Shell to see what I mean 🙂

Matrix was packaged with new execution and thought that made it far more than the sum of its parts.

2nd Renaissance was the simple inferior of other identical ideas that have come before it.

The only one i cant stand and will continue to hate with a passion is "Beyond" . I hate that stupid girl , and i think that whole story is pointless. No offence i cant stand the other ugly ass asian cartoon kids , they seem anoying and i would love to kick their ass. Hhahaha just wanted to give you my input. 😂

hmmm.. I can see what you meant about the kids.. but I thought that *beyond* was visually the prettiest of them all....

I disliked osiris.. because all I could imagine was a bunch of computer geeks sitting around their computers saying... and now we make the hot chick we created lose her clothes... and jump around... ah, if only we knew a girl like that...

no offence...

( and yes I realise the time and skill it takes to make a short film like that)

that's my opinion...
I really liked the kid's story one.. I love his character.. it's very unique

and.. I have a question... what the heck was matriculated about?
the ending was sooo weird

Osiris was the best, I didnt really like the others, The rennasainse films were sort of ok for filling in a few plot questions.

That ones with the sprinter and the robot brainwashing were really weird

Osiris had great graphics. The second renaisance answered some plot questions. Was that kid in kids story the one that bothers neo in matrix 2?And i liked world record.

Phew...i have FINALLY seen them all today...bought the cd 🙂
osiris idd has the best graphics and is one of the best in the 9. i couldn't dislike it because of jue's looks, now could i 😛

the plot in the second renaissance was i=truly a bit childish....A LOT more could have been done with just a bit more mind storming....really, that plot is kiddish.

i LOVED 'world record'. 'kid story' has the worst graphics.....it's nice to see how that kid's explained in the movie though.
beyond's weird....

wut was with the animation on "Kid's Story?"

I think they were playing around w/ different styles of animation... actually the animation for kid's story was very difficult to create.. they wanted to give it a very hand-drawn look...
we're just not used to that sort of animation... so that's why it seems icky to us

I liked the story though

i know it's difficult to create, skittles...i just don't like how it turned out. it seems too sketchy.

And i really didn't like the kid outrunning agents (lots of them) on a bloody skateboard.

i like them very much. the soundtrack is very good and they show exiting new details. i liked "detectiv story" and "the fial flight of the osiris" most.
