Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.

'The Animatrix' exists out of nine animated short movies that give us a little more information about the world of 'The Matrix'. Every part has another director and a complete new storyline (accept the two parts that are called 'The Second Renaissance', part I and part II). The animation is also completely different per episode.

The first part, 'The Final Flight of the Osiris', looks the most like 'The Matrix' and it is my favorite. Every other part shows us some information about the world as seen in 'The Matrix'. All very interesting, all with great animations and most of them with a good story this is a very entertaining and impressive collection of animated short movies. If you liked 'The Matrix' you will probably like this as well.
