Ah, CGI. Yet another style of animation, totally different from the others. This, however, doesn’t really mean that Final Flight of the Osiris is good. It’s actually the worst film so far.
See, the problem with Final Flight of the Osiris is that it has awesome graphics, but zero substance. Basically, what happens is a man and a woman are inside a mini-matrix, sparring with swords in sexy outfits when their ship suddenly gets attacked by robots. The rest of the film basically features lots of guns fired at these robots and the robots getting inside the ship and destroying it, causing as much explosions as possible in the process.
The action scenes it features also aren’t very exciting. The fight in the mini-matrix is basically two people stipping each other’s clothes off. The sound effects also made no sense at all. Swords cut way too easily through air. And even though the choreography looks interesting, it remains uninspired. The robots attacking the ship also aren’t very worthwile. Basically, we see lots of guns shooting and robots crawling, but nothing that looks impressive.
Also, sorry for the lack of screenshots. I played this one in a weird format which doesn’t support screenshots, and I only managed to take one of them before my computer started acting weird. And I’m not exactly motivated to spend time to this one.
You missed the point of this short. It wasn’t meant to be thought provoking or deep, it was a bridge between the movies. Its been such a long time since Ive seen them, however movie 2 or 3 makes reference to the Osiris and that disk. On that disk is information about that giant Drill.
Yeah agree with Null.
You probably missed the point because you didn’t watch the third movie. The giant drill was the way the Sentinels used to attack Zion, and the attack of Zion is a huge chunk of the plot. This particular film might not be a parallel story in itself, but it probably contributed, however little, to the real story. The point is not in the love story or the plot, or the fighting. But the fact that the machines are going to attack Zion, and that the city must be warned.
Final Flight of the Osiris is a bridge. If you actually go through these in order, watch The Matrix, then watch Final Flight of the Osiris, then play Enter the Matrix (video game that picks up right where Final Flight of the Osiris leaves off), then watch Matrix Reloaded, then watch Matrix Revolution and it all fits.
