Excellent adaptation.
Best movie ever!
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
This short looks gorgeous, but doesn't necessarily add anything either to the Matrix storyline or the overall Animatrix short's exploration of the world. It makes sense that the Agents would hire private investigators to track down the hacker avatars of the main characters, but nothing really useful is made out of this story. Instead, the animation itself is really just an homage to the film noir stylings that are homaged in the main movies, especially the first Matrix. It's pretty, there's no denying that--but a lot more could have been made of it.--PolarisDiB
Wow, its been quite a while since I've watched anything so mysterious in the way it is portrayed.A Detective Story uses old fashioned black and white images to portray a private investigator who dresses in an old fashioned trench coat and hat. The theme of this animation is reminiscent of that of Sam Spayed which was briefly mentioned by Ash.Sick of spying on cheating house wives because of his clients, Ash was offered a chance to track down a "computer hacker" which he thought was a worthwhile chance for a four figure sum he could not turn down and the rest is history.The ending was a little bit bland but still okay. For those out there who like old fashion stories this is the one for you.
This is one of the anime films from The Animatrix collection, one of nine - the only one done in black and white, and the only one featuring Trinity. Richly textured and beautifully rendered in every way, and the animated version of Trinity definitely does her justice. If you're a fan of The Matrix, you will need to put this on your short list.
The Animatrix: A Detective Story is very well planned and has a great storyline to go with it. Carrie-Anne Moss plays Trinity in this animated cartoon. I really like the 'Private Detective' ideas created by the Director.
