The Animatrix
Following up on the DVD release (3rd June) and one of our moderators posts here, I have decided that this movie deserves a little more attention so....here it is:
--------------------------------------- Q. So, what is Animatrix all about then?? A. The Animatrix is a collection of several animated short films, detailing the backstory of the "Matrix" universe, and the original war between man and machines which led to the creation of the Matrix. Here's a listing of the Animatrix episodes The last flight of Osiris The Second Renassaince Program A Detective Story Beyond Matriculated World Record Kid's story You can download the shorts here So hopefully we can discuss each part in detail and find out your personal favs and get this fantastic series the credit it surly deserves! :headbang: |
I liked the first few but personally I think they ran out of ideas after the first 4 or 5. The rest, IMO, were crap. The one with the haunted house and the World Record one were pointless, but hey, thats my opinion.

everywhere I got they are sold out on the DVD.

Really see them. The haunted house one (Beyond) has really high production values, and is an interesting insight in how could we actually see the Matrix´s errors all around us. Matriculated shows a rather perplexing view into how would you make a machine join you in your plight. I mean, ever thought about changing a computer opinion? The first few are actually just eyecandy compared to the philosophical questioning you will actually find in the later ones. Personally my favorite ones are Kid´s Story and Matriculated. The rest, IMO, were crap. The one with the haunted house and the World Record one were pointless I totally disagree on such a poorly placed opinion. At least cut the guys some slack, and really watch the things. On a personal note this post reminds me of all those CGTalk posts meant to bash stuff without actually backing up comments with truthfull if real commentaries. Do not base your statements in opinions only mate, as these are by nature extremely subjective. Better to actually base them on somewhat tangible stuff. -Maybe animation techniques, ideas, develoment?- I do have to cut you some slack though, as you´ve actually enhanced my perception around "This is plain garbage" posts. I will now actually watch everything that´s labeled as crap in forums. These shorts do deserve it, and not the crap post I just read 2 minutes ago. |
These are truly a piece of ART! This is a must have for any fan of Anime or HQ animation.

lol, were very defencive of our sci fi around here, i managed to watch a couple and i really did like what i saw. The animatoin style is somthing you rarely see in mainstream (thats actually got a good storyline to back it up). Have to say the budget probably helpt it along in some areas =P but im not complaining
|
