I just got done watching The Animatrix. Overall I thought the animatrion was really good, some of it breathtaking. Music was also pretty good throughout. Even the stories were interesting for the most part. But, something felt missing. I haven't seen the movie yet (hopefully tomorrow or monday), but I don't think that should make a big difference. I guess with all the hype I had been expecting to be wowed more. On the other hand, I do think it may help to expose more people to animation and show that it isn't just for kids. It's definitely worth a rental to see if you like it.
