  Worth seeing if you liked the Matrix trilogy
  
  Great visual effects. I like the fact that it gives you more details about the Matrix universe and its characters.

  MATRIX ANIME IS GOOD COMPANION TO THE TRILOGY
  
  The Matrix may have wandered to an odd conclusion and given the high state of CGI, at times it was a cartoon itself. Included within the 'Ultimate' ... read more »
