Animatrix Is B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!

Today, to my complete surprise, my mum bought the Animatrix DVD!! I wanted to watch that flick sooo badly. The film came out in Singapore as a VCD, but not the dvd, i asked a few shops and they said that itll come out a week later. I was a little disappointed because i have been waiting for the film so so many weeks.Finally, i got it!!!

This film, Animatrix, is a collection of 9 short animated films, revolving around the movie trilogy, The Matrix, Each animated film is no longer than 15 minutes. Though each is a standalone animation, it has no link to the next consequent animation film. Two of the episode tells the story on how the matrix was formed, a prequel to the movie that started it all, The Matrix. Created and visualized by the directors of the Matrix itself, the animated films are done and produced by a team of renowned anime artists in Japan. Each animation film is done by a different set of directors and team of animators. Audiences will be thrilled to be exposed into the various forms of animation done by professional artists.

The dvd, by all means, was B-E-A-UTIFUL!! The DVD Quality, audio and contents gives my hands a two thumbs up! Avant-Garde quality, animation at its finest. This is one of the rare and unique dvd that has alot of reveiwing value. Its contents are also amazing. In it contains not only the animations, but also the director’s commentery of the animations, the making of individual films, and profile of every director and artists who worked in the project.
10 stars! Must See! Anime at its Finest! Two Thumbs Up! Must Buy!

On the downside though, i realized that there are some but not many scenes that has been deleted. I have download that particular film on the official website before (of course, the “preview guy” when it comes to movies as some of my friends call me) and the scene was there. Although it is explicitly violent and inappropriate to incorporate the scene into the dvd and let the younger audiences watch it, however, i dont see the reason why they delete it in the final cut in the dvd version, rather than the sneak preview, where anyone can download it and watch on the official website. Its ironic that no warning whatsoever was given to audiences about viewer discretion is advised when downloading, but numerous were given on the back cover of the dvd. Nevertheless, the essence of the story is there.

And the preview guy will be up and running again to watch the Hulk, this saturday and at the same time be at Suntec City to collect my preordered Harry Potter Book. Tomorrow’s is the worldwide release of the most anticipated book in the world. 7.01 am will be released in Singapore, while midnight will be the release of the book in England. Im sooo excited!
