Reviews
Certains films sont davantage une démonstration d’animation qu’une histoire bien construite.
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.
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.
This particular 'rabbit hole' has far more verve and artistic curiousity than its bloated blockbuster counterpart [i]The Matrix Reloaded[/i]
The Animatrix may be commercial in its purpose, but it's also rapturously artistic in its execution.
"Beyond" is the highlight of The Animatrix and "A Detective Story" is its nadir.
Breathtaking on a big screen, the impact should be little diminished on video.
An interesting look into the minds of the warriors against the machines, and what can tempt them.
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.
