The Matrix Resurrections will be in theaters/HBO Max on December 22nd. If you’re planning a Matrix trilogy rewatch—I know we are—then be sure to include The Animatrix.
The Animatrix is a collection of nine short animations that tell stories about The Matrix universe. Principally among the animations are The Second Renaissance Part I & II that tell the backstory of what caused the Machine War in the first place.

about the RunPee app.
Single best investment
By and far best investment Ive made. I used to drive my husband nuts because Id be a fidgeting mess the last half hour of the movie trying not to miss important parts. Now I just turn this app on and *bam* I can actually focus on the movie the whole time. Even puts alerts to my watch so even better. Also I can guarentee all the 5 reviews arent fake as one person accused - its just that so many of us movie-goers had the same problem and this fixed it. Yes, it is paid but jeeze its expensive to keep watching movies and updating an app for every movie. And if you read more about the creator he mentions he has several people contributing - so yeah its paid but omg worth every cent. 10/10
Developers note: the RunPee app is now, and always will be, 100% free. Donations are optional.

Ideally, you should watch The Animatrix between The Matrix and The Matrix: Reloaded. The animation titled Kid’s Story takes place during the time interval between those two movies and explains one of the new characters—the kid—who shows up in Reloaded with an unknown backstory. His Animatrix story fills in the gaps.
The Final Flight of the Osiris is another episode in The Animatrix that ties into Reloaded.
My Favorite
It’s hard to choose which is my overall favorite episode in The Animatrix, but if pressed I’d say Matriculated. It tells the story of humans trying to capture machines and put them into their own matrix where they can try to convince the machine that they should fight with, not against, humans.
Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
Cool reminder to watch The Animatrix. I keep forgetting this is part of the Matrix universe, kind of like Dark Fury for the Chronicles of Riddick.
