A beautiful and oft-overlooked companion to The Matrix, celebrating its 25th anniversary today. Decades later, most of the shorts still hold up. As with any anthology, you'll have your outliers, among them the dubiously erotic Final Flight of the Osiris and Matriculated among them. The rest, however, tell thought-provoking and gorgeously-animated standalone stories in The Matrix universe. My favorites are "Beyond" and "Detective Story," the latter directed by the amazing Shinichiro Watanabe. Also props to "Second Renaissance" to doing the machine apocalypse more justice than the live-action films ever could.
