    Who has seen it? My dad recently bought it, and if you want your questions asked about the Matrix Universe, rent it/buy it and watch the whole thing. In my opinion, if you really want to understand the whole Matrix Universe, you have to watch all three movies, the Animatrix, and beat Enter the Matrix.

    It's still got plot holes if you look into it. I'm personally fed up with the thing alltogether, after the first movie, the whole series went to shit. Tying and stretching a story that originally wasn't meant to be stretched that thin, has diluted it to pure crap.

    The animatrix is well done however animation wise, and it's worth the buy/rent/etc

    I will put this bluntly:

    #1 was good because it relied on Keanu Reeve's not being able to act.

    #'s 2 and 3 sucked because they required that infinitesimal modicum of talent that he did not possess to make up for a rather (pardon the pun) glitched storyline with plot-holes the size of that canyon most of us refer to as "Gin-sluts snatch".

    It was good for an action junky like me- and the graphics were amazing, which is a definite plus.

    However, Reeves' acting for 2 and 3 was horrible, and the reason I think the Animatrix is so much better than the sequels is probably because of his presence, or rather, lack of it, in the animations.

    And yes, the Animatrix was fiercely entertaining.

    At least the Animatrix explains a lot of things in the first four animations. I never actually got why Reeves always said that the Kid had saved himself until watching that animation.
