I can't believe I waited a year to see this, but it was worth it.
I'm sure many of you have seen this, but I am impressed by the story-telling of this, more so than animation...which doesn't mean I'm knocking on the animation, because I thought it was great, but I really liked this DVD.
My "two" favorite stories on this were The Renaissance Part 1/2 and Final Flight of the Osiris. They're obviously two of the most graphic...but still...the story-telling was nice. I liked the Renaissance, not only because it told what happened prior to the first Matrix, but because it was a bit emotional. They made it to the point where you felt sorry for the machines (even though that one machine pretty much slaughtered people...where one scene had one guy's face ripped apart...wow), especially those Vietnam like scenes where the robot was tied with his hands behind his back and then shot "cold-blooded." What really surprised me was that there were humans willing to die for the machines' "cause"(I put this in paranthesis because it's hard to say what their cause is since by definition they are "artificial"). I guess it was because they made some of the machines look so cute and stuff...and there was this one machine who was dressed as a girl...I thought they were gonna rape her until her synthetic skin came off and "she" was shot in the back with a shotgun...but eh.
Final Flight of the Osiris was great...because it linked to the first portion of Matrix Reloaded. I liked how those CG animations were done with the machines...funny though, in the movie it takes far less shots to kill those things than they did in Osiris...but oh well. I just felt sorry for that crew and such...but eh, I knew it was going to happen...but when you see it, sympathy can't help but intervene.
I liked Detective's Story because it was more closer to the Matrix trilogy. I'm sure every pervert is drooling over CAM(Carrie-Anne-Moss) after see it, but eh. Matriculated was a bit odd, I understood some of it and didn't understand some of it. Like, why did that woman freak out at the end? Was it because the machine brought it back to life? The others were okay in terms of story...but Renaissance PArt I and II, Osiris, Detective's Story, and Matriculated were my favorites.
So yeah...I know I'm late on this...but wow, I loved it. So yeah...thoughts would be nice. Keep it clean.
