The Animatrix	comment	The Animatrix is a 2003 Direct to Video anthology of nine Cyberpunk animated shorts set in the continuity of the Matrix film series and served as tie-ins around the time of the release of The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions.Each short features an individual art style by renowned Japanese animators. All shorts cover a different theme related to the Matrix and are completely independent of one another beyond the universe.Final Flight of the Osiris is an All-CGI Cartoon short that acts as a bridge between the first film and Reloaded, and the others are anime shorts that expand backstories and the Matrix universe itself. The former is by far the biggest story of the film, and even premiered in theaters a month before the other shorts, being attached to prints of Dreamcatcher.

The Animatrix / int_12c6bf73	type	Horsemen of the Apocalypse
The Animatrix / int_12c6bf73	comment	Horsemen of the Apocalypse: A symbolic representation of a macabre horse and rider is shown throughout the sequences of the last battle of the first war. What makes it dramatic is that both horse and rider are mechanical, a harbinger of change to come. They're also blowing the trumpets of war, a Biblical reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse; in this case, the Horseman of War.

The Animatrix / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
The Animatrix / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Part I reflects a lot of real acts of human rights violations, from the Tiananmen Square to the Holocaust mass burials. One particularly poignant and unsettling scene, showcasing a gang of men beating a Robot Girl to death and shouting that "she's not real", also reflects generic transmisogynistic violence - something almost certainly intentional, given that both the Wachowskis later came out as trans women. B1-66ER's trial mirrors that of Dred Scott v. Sandford, a landmark Supreme Court decision that ruled that black people are not eligible for citizenship nor entitled to civil rights and privileges. B1-66ER's trial confirms that humanity will not acknowledge their robots as having equal rights and that a human threatening to destroy its own automaton is not a felony. Operation Dark Storm in Part II is referred to as a "Final Solution", akin to the Nazi's plan for total extermination of the Jewish race, who they considered inferior and beneath them.

It's hard to root for either side, since humans were merciless and racist jerks up to this point, and the machines become gradually less humane, until they rival (or even surpass) their former oppressors in cruelty. "May there be mercy on man and machine for their sins", indeed.

Hundreds of years later, this technology is adapted for use by the hovercraft used by the last of humanity in Zion. In comparison with the Machine's Sentinels, however, the Machines have greatly improved on their old flight technology. However, that technology was put to military use by humans during the war already. High-altitude bombers dropping nukes on Zero-One and spraying the nanites during Operation Dark Storm sequence are propelled by the very same hover pads that were propelling the hover car and which were much later used by ships of Zion.

Humanity was willing (without any objections and second opinions) to guarantee a Class 4 apocalypse and completely destroy Earth just to defeat the machines.

The second part is partially justified in that as machines, they don't need to rest and do not require some things human army requires like food, but still, even machines need to refill their supply of whatever is powering them from time to time, and they have to send new robots to the frontlines in order to reinforce them or replace those that were destroyed.

The Animatrix / int_916c72b3	comment	Rule of Symbolism: The Instructor depicts the Second Renaissance as the Machine version of Genesis, explaining the constant use of the phrase "for a time, it was good." Visuals depict the Machines holding an apple, in both endings of parts I and II: the first was a Machine Man and Woman in underwear (which they don't know is obscene) in the UN, innocently holding an apple and pleading for cooperation; a sign of the innocence when the newborn Adam and Eve did not know how to cover themselves up. The second was where the Machine Ambassador, looking like Mecha-Cthulhu, signed the Instrument of Surrender with a barcode, and it held an apple before it self-destructed; an acceptance of the Machine's own fall into Sin. Basically everything in the short is symbolic in some way, shape, or form, down to the names. For instance, the attorney representing B1-66ER is named Clarence Drummond, a dual reference to Clarence Darrow, a real-life attorney who took part in the Scopes Monkey Trial (itself a reference to both trials being about evolution) and Henry Drummond, a character based on Darrow from Inherit the Wind.

At the start of the war, they're more or less domestic and labor machines that picked up rifles, and were defeated when they faced human forces. However, as the war progresses, they upgrade themselves more and more, becoming more alien in appearance and giant machines of war that utterly massacre the human armies. However it's clearly shown that the machines upgraded only after Operation: Dark Storm, meaning that, somehow, the "domestic and labor machines that picked up rifles" managed to conquer a large enough part of the world to drive humanity desperate enough to resort to Dark Storm in the first place.

The Animatrix / int_a6b14ee1	comment	Hollywood Tactics: Used by humanity across the board. They are shown using trench warfare, soldiers running across wide open fields without armor or air support, clustering together in tight groups in said wide open fields, shooting from hilltops instead of lying prone, and so on. It's little wonder they were completely demolished by the machines in battle. Not to mention, humanity's entire arsenal in the movie — apart from suspiciously ineffective nuclear warheads — seems to be limited to small-arms like ordinary assault rifles. They have powered exoskeletons, but they arm them only with machine guns as well. Not once in the film, any heavier type of ordnance is visibly used against the machines (sans some EMP cannons that take out the first wave of bipedal machines — but are quickly taken out by the larger floating pyramid machines in the second wave, with no attempts at retaliation at their part — and some MLRS-launched rockets in the background during the initial charge, which we don't see hitting anything and which never appear later), and every time a vehicle armed with them (like a tank) is seen, it just stands there and does nothing until it is destroyed. It's like the screenwriters decided to handicap humans and outright ignore all deadly arsenal we've developed and entire tactical experience and knowledge we've gained over centuries just to help a single machine city win an all-out war against the rest of the world — already implausible scenario as it is. Humanity not using air support may be justified. The nanite cloud deployed is shown to disable anything that flies through it, thus limiting air support to low-flying craft (which left them vulnerable and in range of the machines) so humanity may have decided tactically against risking aircraft. However, if that is the case, it only provides another example of how utterly and completely idiotic plan this whole Operation Dark Storm was — besides of ensuring humanity's extinction, it neutralized a significant part of their arsenal in ongoing war. There's a rather chilling element of Nightmare Fuel to how this trope is used. Futuristic soldiers rushing to get into close combat with the machines to violently smash them and blast them apart really underscores how absolutely bonkers and all-consumed in their hatred the last humans have become. One of the soldiers is shown literally frothing from the mouth as he rants a Madness Mantra into the camera before a battle.

Even if they had an alternative, they basically ensured their own near-extinction unless they assumed they would win inside of a week. They also either never developed a killswitch, or it was lost/destroyed in the ensuing war, dooming whoever won to imprisonment on a dead husk of a planet, as the cloud disables anything that flies through it.

The Animatrix / int_e4d5e4c0	comment	Five Rounds Rapid: As noted elsewhere on this page, the entire weaponry humanity has developed in the modern era seems to disappear during the war, since most of the time, humans battle the Machine army using only small-arms like assault rifles. Which is of course convenient for the Machines and their unrealistic strategy of waging war against the entire world.

They spend so much time playing there-one of the glitches was a room where gravity didn't work properly-that the Agents finally catch on and fix the place.

The Animatrix / int_fd76df83	type	Artistic License â€“ Economics
The Animatrix / int_fd76df83	comment	Artistic License – Economics: You cannot build an entire city with an industrial base — let alone potent enough to outstrip the rest of the world — without access to the resources necessary to fuel that base. The Machines, in the limited space they have available, simply could not mine the amount of materials they would need to fuel their production, and mining them elsewhere would mean stealing them from the countries that control that territory. On that topic, the very fact that Machines claimed a part of a human nation's territory as their own and built a city there (again, despite having no resources to do so) without provoking an immediate reaction is puzzling enough. The entire plot thread with Zero One establishing an industrial base which ends up supplying the rest of the world is based on utterly ludicrous premise that they could somehow condense their manufacturing base into a single city. In the real world, no one location has access to every single thing necessary needed for the kind of complex technology they're producing (those not lucky enough to have access to various necessary elements or specialized technologies have to buy them from those who do have them) and a complex product like a vehicle consists of dozens, if not hundreds of facilities that realize various phases of production (mining minerals, processing them, producing components which are later assembled into more complex machines elsewhere, et cetera). Unless the Machines developed matter replication technology, they could never fit all the necessary facilities into their one city no matter how efficiently they used the space. And even then — you need to produce energy (lots and lots of energy) in order to replicate matter from it. Producing energy via conventional means requires fossil fuels like coal or radioactive elements which, again, Machines have no access to. Producing energy via renewable sources like sunlight or wind requires a lot of space to place all that infrastructure (solar panels, wind turbines, et cetera) which — see above — Machines have in very, very short supply. So no, there is no possibility of replicating matter. All in all, the idea of a single city which is not only self-sustainable but has an industry so potent that it supplies the entire world is totally, completely ludicrous and would absolutely not work in reality — not just from economic point of view, but even due to basic logic and common sense.
