Wow, this was a bad one. I wasn't expecting great things from this film. I saw the really bad reviews it got on Netflix plus the footage I saw of it didn't look that great. But wow, this was a snoozer. I will say that I'm not the biggest fan of the original Faulkner novel it was based on. It was one of those books I was forced to read in high school. But still, I was morbidly curious to see unexperienced David Franco's take on the novel. But wow, this look amateurish like a film student's first arthouse piece. Full of amateurish film techniques like slow-down effect and the sidescreen effects that happen all over this movie. Faulkner is a very hard author to adapt to film but if there was a way to adapt his works right, this was certainly not it. The way they turned passages into monologues was forced and many of the performances were just awkward. From what I'm seeing of Franco's film directing efforts, he does not seem to have much critical support behind them. I'm certainly not going to see another one of his films, especially whatever he did to The Sound and the Fury.8 years, 10 months ago

I have never seen a Matrix movie before but I was still greatly interested in checking out this particular film. This movie greatly reminded me of Batman: Gotham Knight and I understand that movie was definitely inspired by the critical success of this one. I even remember Codename: Kids Next Door doing a parody of one of the shorts in this anthology. I haven't seen the original Matrix yet but if it's as good as this film that I will certainly call it a classic. I do greatly enjoy anthology films as well anime films. This just matched up perfectly. The animation for all of the shorts are incredible. All of them have various styles: one uses some incredible CGI, another does the style of Aeon Flux (done by the same guy), another emulates a gritty noir setting, etc. I honestly couldn't name a single segment that I would call particularly bad. There was some cool or awesome about the story or the animation that draw me into this narrative that I was not entirely familiar with. Some highlights include the iconic "Second Renaissance" which showcases some nightmare-inducing scenarios as well as an heart-reaching narrative about how the robots rise and how the Matrix got created. "Matriculated" is another wicked tale that features some incredible trippy visuals at the midpoint of the film as well a emotional story of a reforming robot. "Program" has some incredible storytelling as well as some kick-ass samurai fight scenes. Overall, this is one of the few consistently high-quality anthology films I've ever seen despite exploring different styles of animation and storytelling. It all combines to reflect the messed-up cyberpunk world the Wachowskis made.8 years, 10 months ago
