The Matrix Trilogy has always been about breaking out of the boundaries of a conventional film and requiring of its audience to venture out from the theatre and cross these borders as well in order to get the entire story. Enter the Matrix, the video game, and The Animatrix, a collection of short Matrix-based films, are two perfect examples of this. Myself, since I loved the movies so much, I have spent a lot of time trying to research them on the internet. That's where I learned everything; the films were just visual accompaniment to the larger story being told.
