Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Shawn Watson Set just before the beginning of The Matrix Reloaded, the crew of the ship Osiris escape a flurry of Sentinels by escaping to the surface where they see the massive drillers begin their descent into Zion. The crew must warn the city before it's too late.This could have been a spectacular short, but they just don't know what to do. A chunk of the running time is made up of a superfluous fight scene right at the start, and there really isn't much story. The visuals however are amazing (director Andrew R. Jones designed the SFX for Titanic and Superman Returns), even for 2003 standards the motion capture is very photo-realistic.It's just a shame that it doesn't amount to much.

TheOtherFool To warm things up for the disappointing last two Matrixes (or is it Matrices?), the Wachowsky brothers produced the Animatrix, a series of 9 short animated movies, the first of them being Final Flight of the Osiris.It starts of with a great sexually charged fight sequence between Thadeus and Jue, before the story takes place in the real world, with the Osiris finding out about the diggers towards Zion. They try to warn the city while hundreds of machines are chasing them.The story takes place before the Matrix Reloaded and stays close to the story we've seen so far (unlike other animatrixes). It's probably the best, if only for those first two minutes... 7/10.

whatdoes1know Awing the world with the graphics of SPIRITS WITHIN, OSIRIS bycomparison is a step back, or rather, it really is a job done on theside as all energy was being poured into FF. The clunkymovements of the characters, especially noticeable in the openingsimulation scene, are subpar those of the 2001 box-office flop.SPOILER: The actual sequences inside the Matrix involve anextended jump, flat jogging, and a casual conversation with an oldlady who decided for once that she should not turn into an Agentand stop Jue from informing Zionites about the attack of theSentinels. Maybe Jue wasn't such a hot face among the Agent'smost wanted list. Maybe it's a big PLOT HOLE. But, there ismouthfuls of butt, and that alone must make OSIRIS the topfavorite of pseudo fans of the Matrix.

Agent10 The Final Flight of the Orsiris owes it allegiance to Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, and this film doesn't disappoint. Displaying the next generation of digital animation, this little film brought new meaning to "animation." While the abruptness of it was somewhat annoying, at least one gets to enjoy the sharpness and downright coolness of this nine-minute feature. Just goes to show, the release date for this film and its eight counterparts will not come quickly enough.
