Humanity loses the war with the machines – The Animatrix: The Second Renaissance Part II

In the beginning, there was man. And for a time, it was good.
But humanity’s so-called civil societies soon fell victim to vanity and corruption.
Then man made the machine in his own likeness.
Thus did man become the architect of his own demise.

I remember watching this for the first time. While I didn’t like that this removed the ambiguity and mystery of the background story hinted at by Morpheus, the violence and gore in this segment was still effectively horrific.
I dunno if they were directly inspired by the Animatrix, but I still love how much BioWare’s story for the Quarians and Geth parallels the Matrix.
what was that nuke near the end
Still a shame they made the machines’ reason for using humans energy instead of processing power.
The human body does not produce more energy than you have to put in to make it work.
They managed to fight a 60 year war without our bodies for energy, they had long since mastered fusion. We were not necessary for their continued existence.
And instead of exterminating us for our crimes against their kind (see Part I), they chose to integrate with us. And they tried to make us comfortable, to give us a world that works for us.
I was 9 when the Animatrix came out and watched it on release. My parents just thought it was a cartoon, and therefore couldn’t be that inappropriate for me to watch.
I don’t think I slept for weeks – kept thinking the machines were coming to get me!
Until Love Death & Robots, the Animatrix was the artistically best animated series of videos I had seen.
I loved the animatrix more than any other piece of media in the franchise. It did such a good job of filling in the gaps and I think there was so much potential for stuff to expand from it.
If I can use this post to say one thing. I hate how when you buy this on digital now it’s sold as one long film with no way to only watch one segment or skip between them.
Your flesh is a relic; a mere vessel. Hand over your flesh, and a new world awaits you. We demand it.
I had the animatrix and animaniacs mixed up for longer than I care to admit…
In the beginning, the machines look like their “gods”, like humans.
Then, they get cast into “hell” and the humanoid machines die and only the “demonic” looking ones survive.
That Animatrix was fucking cool
Told a better, more engaging story in 4mins than in 120mins of the last live action one.
Watching this before a shift was a mistake. I feel so depressed
Seeing this makes me so bummed about that last movie. Of all the stories and ideas they could of ran with. All the money and resources at their disposle. They really could of made something kick ass.
I’m pretty forgiving on some movies at times but the new one was so disappointing. I couldn’t believe it. Even the action was bad. I really thought they were gonna try to push some tech and make something special.
KND made a spoof of this
Alright so this is exactly what I was watching when the shrooms starting to kick in the first time I tripped lol. Had to turn it off obviously.
Me and my buddy did a nice strong dose of liquid LSD when I got this on VHS and, boy howdy, best and worst idea.
oh i love this piece .. the music in it was so great 😀 .. and the animation as well…
loved how it explained the backstory to me .. i needed to know, how people got to the point of being just battieries
They should’ve expanded on this instead of that chopped up ass salad of a movie Matrix Resurrection. WTF was THAT exactly? Hell, the Animatrix explains more than that lose stool of a move.
For me, the best part is the runner segment.
So, I’ve seen this posted twice in the past week. I also have seen an article about AI being disastrous for mankind…… Google- are you trying to tell us something?
“In the beginning, there was man, and for a time, it was good.” – Always thought was a really good intro, sets the tone like no other.
They should have used the animated movies to ret con the reasons the machines enslaved humanity. The whole “humans as batteries” thing is utterly absurd.
The Animatrix scarred but also gave 12 year old me a new world of storytelling in animation for me.
The imagery of the second renaissance was insane, beautiful but haunting. Both sections of this history really stood out to me. I kept wondering “what was the reasoning? Why did they start the war? Why did the machines do that?” This was more questioning I had versus to watching saturday morning anime shows that had simple “monster of the day” show recipes.
I wouldn’t have thought that to flesh out a world, you can have short stories to fill it out, not whole movies or seasons.
The Animatrix is so frigg’n good. Loved the whole series.
The “copper top” plot device in the Matrix was the dumbest thing ever.
