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.

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.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Daniel B A 19 años de ser estrenada, la animación con la que cuenta Animatrix es una brutalidad, aunque ya lo veamos en otras series y películas actuales, el alternar animaciones en mini historias es en lo que innovó esta película conjuntada con historias impecables. Al ver esta película te puedes dar una idea de lo influyente que fue. Repercutiendo hasta la actualidad como lo vemos en "Love, Death & Robots" o incluso en paralelismos con "Black Mirror"; un tema que las hermanas Wachowski tenían estudiado desde el lanzamiento de esta película/Serie. Cada historia se construye a través de una crítica social culminada con una referencia al universo de "Matrix" cada historia es buenísima y ninguna sobra, todas cuentan con un desarrollo aunque en algunas difícil de descifrar profundo y metafórico. Cada historia presenta un sentimiento de identidad e incertidumbre que deja al espectador reflexionando. Animatrix es una obra maestra visual, con una paleta de colores hermosa, entendiendo la naturaleza de cada animación y usándola a su favor para impactar en el espectador, ya sea en un viaje alucinante con colores en un entorno sicodélico, o una crítica de como la arrogancia siempre perjudica más de lo que ayuda. Cada historia es diferente pero igual de efectiva en su mensaje. Construyendo de manera increíble una historia en un mundo ya establecido, los guionistas y los animadores hicieron un trabajo brutal.
