    good 2 watch at least once

    Well-animated, captivating stories. Having not seen the whole Matrix series, I feel as if some of it is lost on me, but as a standalone flick I still enjoyed it. I mean, the premise can't be THAT difficult to grasp...right?

    The stories that struck me the most were the one about...( read more) the girl and her cat and the samurai woman.

    I gotta say, Chapters 2+3 were incredible...The background story of the Matrix is so well told that made me love the trilogy even more... Great Short Films

    Standard film, mediocre, nothing further, worth one watch or two.

    An interesting alternate look at The Matrix trillogy. I didnt see the whole thing, just about half of it, but what i saw... i liked. Not very fitting for a MOVIE, cuz it was more like a short cliips... but it was different. Which is good.

    I dled it on WinMX, but that hd went & died on me & I only saw pieces of it & didn't get a chance to see the whole thing. It really looks awesome though. If anybody has it to dl from let me know. I really appreciate it.

    For the record, WinMX IS up and running! Version 3.54 is pretty cool. Respond to me on here if you don't believe me or want to know more.

    Thanks!
