Enter the Matrix (the Game)

The evening started with Hollywood legend and The Matrix producer Joel Silver coming out on stage, explaining how all the new materials fit within the Matrix universe. To begin, we were shown The Last Flight Of The Osiris, an amazingly high-quality 9-minute CGI film on the level of Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. The similarity is no coincidence: the computer animation was designed and created by Square USA, who also created the movie. (The short is the first of nine that will make up The Animatrix, headed up by a group of seven noted anime directors.)
