The Matrix & The Animatrix Double Feature at Revival House PerthEnter the Matrix twice in one epic evening—first with the Wachowskis' reality-bending 1999 masterpiece, then dive deeper with the 2003 animated anthology that expands the universe in ways live-action never could.
The Matrix needs no introduction: Keanu Reeves as Neo, the hacker who discovers reality is a lie, humanity is enslaved, and he might be The One prophesied to free us all. Bullet time. Wire-fu. Philosophical questions about free will wrapped in leather and sunglasses. The film that changed action cinema forever and launched a thousand dorm room debates about the nature of reality.
The Animatrix brings together some of anime's greatest directors to explore the corners of the Matrix universe the films couldn't reach. "The Second Renaissance" reveals the horrifying origin story of the machine war in brutal detail. "Final Flight of the Osiris" connects directly to the sequels with cutting-edge CGI. Shinichirō Watanabe's "Kid's Story" shows how one teenager freed himself from the Matrix. Each of the nine segments offers a different animation style and explores different aspects of this world—from haunted training programs to the moment machines first achieved consciousness.
Together, these films create the complete Matrix experience—the revolutionary blockbuster that redefined what mainstream cinema could be, paired with experimental storytelling that pushes the mythology into darker, stranger, more philosophical territory. It's world-building at its finest, showing how a great concept can support infinite perspectives.
The perfect double feature for both Matrix devotees and newcomers ready to go down the rabbit hole.
