this be the second animatrix short and and the first of them to be what one could call artistic . it contain a lot of reference and metaphor and symbol in the dense amount of material and especially with a running time of 9 minute . i have hear some complaint that this be anti human and or try to direct hate towards man and for their sin against machine . i do not think that true while it merely use the robot to show u and that a human and we aren not particularly accept or open mind towards anyone different from ourselves . i would say it do a great job of that . the plot be good . it play a a historical document and recount what lead to one of the main conflict in the trilogy . thus it hold clip from fictional news report and the like . the voice acting be very good and if there be not a lot of it . the animation be nice and and the use of color and in spite of the usually realistic draw style and make it more open to do the smooth transition and other surreal imagery . this have several bit of strong violence and disturbing visuals and as well a a little nudity . the disc hold a commentary and not in english but subtitled and and worth a listen or read . there be also a well do and informative making of and base on both part and so i would advise watch it after see the next one and as well . i recommend this to anyone who enjoy the matrix universe and and or or science fiction in general . positive .
