It provides an excellent blend of anime and the high concept of classic science fiction writing that goes back to the days of the golden age sci-fi magazines like Astounding, Galaxy and Amazing Stories.

An interesting look into the minds of the warriors against the machines, and what can tempt them.

"Beyond" is the highlight of The Animatrix and "A Detective Story" is its nadir.

Final Flight of the Osiris

The Animatrix may be commercial in its purpose, but it's also rapturously artistic in its execution.

Certains films sont davantage une démonstration d’animation qu’une histoire bien construite.

Breathtaking on a big screen, the impact should be little diminished on video.

Some of its segments are brilliant and breathtaking examples of animation. Unfortunately, as with the average music CD, for every great track there's usually a "filler" song.

The animation is consistently excellent

Far from fleshing out the universe of THE MATRIX, this cynical, self-indulgent marketing tie-in renders it less coherent. Boasts only a few memorable visual moments, and suffers from a paucity of narrative.

This particular 'rabbit hole' has far more verve and artistic curiousity than its bloated blockbuster counterpart [i]The Matrix Reloaded[/i]
