"How do we kill the machines?" "They primarily use solar power." "Then let's blot out the sun!" "But...how do we unblot it?" "We'll figure that out when we win." "And if we lose?" "Then there's no one left to enjoy an unblotted sun, is there?"
why do the robots even need the sun, there are other sources of power which are much more efficient and less unreliable. Are they fucking retorted, what about the unreliability of solar power when faced with a literal _C l o u d_ . They are smarter and better than humanity and yet they use humanity for a battery? again not believable in the slightest, the machines would have simply burnt humanity to a char and lived and wouldn't care wither the earth was scorched or not because they don't need oxygen, food or other life to survive. Only an energy source, which could be geothermal, nuclear or even Fusion.
@@Masonicon The Animatrix pointed out that mankind was getting decadent and stupid even when they were first using AI and robots to serve them. Basically, humantiy reached a late stage degeneracy that sealed their fate. The robots became the superior life form and humans being nothing more than potatoes that are grown and thrown away.
Man, the scene where the planes started dropping chemicals into the atmosphere is honestly pretty scary, imagine looking up at the sky and knowing that it’s the last time you will ever get to experience sunlight again. Truly a unnerving moment.
You should look up Chemtrail Aerosols or even Agent Orange (which was sprayed to see what it did to the populace to which the US government had to apologize after it was found out), but the Chemtrails are FAR worse.
Yet they fucked up how nuclear weapons work which would have levled the machine city. Radiation wouldnt be a factor in it. Thats always irked me about this. And now i just remmebered that, there are mentions of "human allies" where are they meant to be? In the irradiated hell hole?
@@naturalist4life396 I think the reason the mechs in the films are like that simply because they are barebones versions. During the war and especially by the time they got desperate enough to launch Darkstorm, humanity had completely shifted their society to fuel the war effort. Money/cost of things no longer mattered while fighting against extinction, so no expenses were spared and the industrial might of nations still alive by then was all in. By the time of the films there's a single city with barely any resources. Metal used to build an armored cockpit for a mech was better used by going toward the construction of another mech. Plus the mechs in Zion weren't going to be used offensivly like during the war, only in defense of Zion. If pilots had to abandon a mech, chances are they were already dead and the city was going to fall. The mechs in the war needed to move fast to lead attacks, hence better protection for the pilot, and the ability to fly.
I read recently that this is one of the reasons why the later model APUs(like in revolutions)were designed differently. The Harvesters would simply hold down the APU and rip the driver from the cabin as their limbs were trapped in the suit.
I actually resent my dad showing me this movie when i was about 7yo. Me now is still not over how fucked up that was and coming across this again gave me a visceral reaction like wanting to vomit...
IlFrostIl I’m not giving into that. The fact you could persuade an entire military to use psychotic inducing drugs. All of it is just to slander the Wehrmacht and their natural achievements. So you mean to tell me Alexander the Great used psychedelics ? Or the great Roman Empire ? I believe hitler and his cronies were but not his men who has time to do crack and meth when your fighting the Russians ? And with the Wehrmacht season supply lines already being muddled and inconsistent to demands pretty sure a unstable front of addicts wouldn’t have lasted even a month unlike their 3 years which they managed to pull off.
I love how the machines get progressively bigger, less human-like and deadly efficient as the battles rage on. The huge hovering platforms are also the first experiments with human bio-electric power.
In a way, it is poetic that humanity has had the great idea (stupid actually) of covering the entire planet with extremely black clouds, reflecting the dark times and the resilience of these machines...
The Machines would most likely foresee this and use carbon based alloys. A right made one is stronger than diamonds and as flexible as rubber, making the machines armor extremely strong
This is by far the single most disturbing and unnerving depiction of what unfeeling machines as enemies would be like. Also it's the most disturbing depiction of someone dying within a mech.
Also disturbing by the fact that the humans we see behaved and were cruel savages that forced the machines to stoop to their level. The terrifying truth that the machines used to be loving and caring until the humans abused them to the point that they turned into the very monsters that humanity feared.
The machines gave them so many opportunities. They still wanted peace and to share prosperity with the humans and yet they still tortured and destroyed the robots. Literally all this conflict could be avoided if the humans just listened to the machines for like two seconds. This is well deserved treatment. Plus I'm sure the robot wasn't unfeeling. It most definitely felt some level of satisfaction.
@@chewyuanqiang The machines were never loving and caring. They were simply programmed to act that way. AI doesn't have empathy. It's cold and calculated.
@@nikolakaravida9670 That's possibly true, I could be wrong and the emotions in the movie could have been fake, but even without emotion the machines tried to reason with the humans through peaceful negotiation but it was the humans who attacked them first or used excessive retaliation. Even the average cold unfeeling machine acted more peacefully than the average human that would kill them without hesitation.
honestly i can't think of anything worse except for the guy in bubble gum crisis that had his mech invaded by the living android and crushed by his own mech.
Brendyn Robertson Humanity was only & only thinking about winning; and the humans probably re-open the Sky (also humans probably stored animal-plant DNA's somewhere)
sacr3 Robots doesn't rely on the solar energy obligatory/exclusively; that was just what humans thought - as humans understood it too late; they found several temporary sources until decide upon humans
The DORUK Its a flawed story, simply using hydro dams, nuclear energy, or some other crazy form of energy they can think of - they use humans.. which take a LOT of chemical energy to generate the heat.. you're putting more energy into this system then you're getting out. Humans made the script, and of course were dumb.
sacr3 sacr3 in original matrix script machines also use human brains as computers for reasons; human batteries added the first matrix movie to being more understandable. Still a very interesting scenario; we Still dont know how much energy a sustained human body could produce; more interesting than terminator anyways; and the anime is very well done
Humanity: *has the technology to develop piloted mech suits, sentient A.I. and weaponry to block out the sun.* *still uses box tv from 2005 for a sermon*
Come to think of it, I just realized that all displays in The Matrix (and here in Animatrix) are CRTs/box TV. I guess like Fallout, it's a stylistic choice and remained consistent.
@@WingMaster562 in early 2001-2003 crts and boxed tvs are still quite common and are more relatable to the average people. Just like flip phones. Animatrix came out in 2003 but they were probably working on it since 2000 or 2001.
@@muneirovalibas6194 what I meant with my reply is that they could've gone for flat screens and holographic displays. Such displays are not foreign to sci-fi media, in fact, that is almost the norm. Yet they deliberately used CRTs as to ground the animation to reality and a time period, as a styllistic choice. Not because they were limited to the equipment they were on working with at the time.
@@WingMaster562 I just watched the matrix and was mentioned that the current iteration of the matrix was made specifically to replicate the late 90's for humans. I think it was a way for the writers to keep it from becoming too dated
I wish more shows went in depth with the war. It wasn't a quick victory for the machines. According to the comics, it lasted for over a century, and by the end of it, human civilization had rebuilt itself entirely for war. Like a death korp from WH40K, all of earth was geared for war in a period of decades, and there were times humans nearly won. Infact, it was the machines who were on the back foot for the first 40 years of the conflict.
What comics do you speak of? The conflict we see in the Animatrix looks like it was over in a month or less. The centuries you speak of likely refers to humanity's resistance movements that rose and fell as the Matrix required.
The whole concept of operation Dark Storm is so dystopian; I love it. Humanity feels so desperate that they live in hell because they think it will be worse for the enemy: no more sunlight, no escape, no hope. Two superpowers trapping themselves in a hopeless cage match against each other.
I'd love the idea that humanity send out a colony to other planet and blocked the sky for robots to escape earth and leaving humans on earth to fight, win or die. If humans win the fight, outer humanity would remove the sky preventing robots to leave earth. But that's just a fan made theory. At least that makes the "Dark Storm" concept killing all animals and plants on earth less dumb since doing so also guarantee to destroy humanity future and effort to win the war (economy collapse without food etc).
@@parkertitle1923 Yeah I'm surprised people seem to be missing one of the main points here. Part of the disturbing terror of this is realizing the horror within humanity itself. That despite everything, we *refused* to change our ways. We were so stubborn to maintain the rules that we set upon our world (the same rules that places us within a hierarchy, and money to keep that hierarchy flowing) that instead of changing to adapt to the presence of machines in the world, we chose to eradicate them... and we paid the price for that choice dearly.
@@writershard5065 Perhaps, but I'd counter that with another senario. Perhaps humanity does welcome AI with open arms and integrates them fully into their civilization. Maybe we swing so far, that AI is running most of our society for "better efficiency". And then, perhaps, that AI decides that maybe humanity is better off in a giant simulation while it runs the "real world".
@@dasbubba841 Part of this your describing was what happened to Hunanity in Wh40k. Only, the Men of Iron failed to wipe us out, and were successfully defeated by surviving humans.
I love how, in virtually every science fiction story that exists, sometime in the near future humans will abandon all sense of combined arms tactics, air supremacy, defense-in-depth, cover-and-fire tactics, etc and return to lining up like 18th century Regulars and marching off into automatic gun/laser fire.
That's literally the only way humans lose is they refuse tried and proven combined arms tactics and resort to firing assault rifles at things the size of buildings lmao
It's kind of poetic. The machines start off humanoid just trying to protect themselves. But as they get slaughtered by the humans they start to bring out the tentacled monster robots which rip limbs off soldiers and incinerate tanks with lasers
The machines are bassically becoming a reflection of their abuser malices, bully a child and it will learn fear, deny it hope and it will give up on others, deny it love and it will learn hate. I doubt the later generations of machines had much in common with the earlier guys. It'd be interesting to see how the two factions of machines interact.
"Be treated as a monster long enough, and you shall soon become one" I heard a quote similar to that somewhere, and this vid is the perfect example. They soon swapped out their human-wannabe bodies for fucking Cthulu horrors, and I don't think it'd be too hard for them to upload their mind into different vessels
@@the_infinexos Friedrich Nietzsche has a quote along those lines: “Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” You might also be thinking of one of the Narnia books/movies (Prince Caspian), where the talking animals of Narnia are treated like beasts for so long that they really do become beasts, and lose their civilization and even their ability to think.
ai van are we talking about the same matrix about the concept of existentialism? with neo and everything? or is it a separate series with its own story like a warhammer 40k type thing?
Yeah imagine like Spybreak! made by propellerheads? What Matrix doesn't let you know that machines getting synched up by the music, not the other way around for humans.
because the machines in terminator are more realistic... they are not just making this thinks out of thin air, have factures... need to getter reasorcers... this is just completly insane... i would belive if this was explained how it was in horizon zero dawn where the machines were just replicating like crazy as they moved.
@@ArlindoBuriti Machines were already at Terminator level when they were serving under humans. Then they've created their own country after human protest and destruction of machines. They've coexisted with human countries for many years after that. Their economy was booming and human economy was dwindling. That's the actual reason for the war btw. There were plenty of time and resource for machines to become like this.
@@ArlindoBuriti you clearly don’t know anything about the lore. They created their own nation in the middle of a desert after nations government would execute any sentient robots and became one of the rivaling powers against the UN. The UN nuked their city and tried to wipe out all sentient robots escalated, they fought back by covering the sky with nano machines that would replicate to not allow robots to solar power
The scene of the soldiers getting high is pure despair. They know that they are cannon fodder with no possibility of survival and that their sacrifice will be in vain, since the planet is devastated. The soldier's shots into the air and the screams are the madness which drives them to keep killing and perishing to prolong the agony of a horrendous war already lost.
Very poetic but the last part is to prolong the war for the purposes of avoiding agony. If the robots are too busy fighting them they won't be busy at the moment going after their families or something like that. It's an animation at the end of the day so all arbritation

What isn't explained in this two-part episode is that the events, especially the war, took place over many many years, which is why the machines seem to evolve so quickly. There are some really cool videos showing a map of the world, and the war fronts changing as humanity loses territory to 01, then push back, and then ultimately lose everything and surrender to them, after they've evolved into to the cephalopod/insectoid-like machines we see in the films.
Il Lupo Rossi as far as I know there is no official lore about the war aside from what is shown here and in the other movies. Those videos you mention are made by fans that basically made up everything.
Robotic Models: Worker: Generic Humanoid Shape containing simple features such as eyes and a mouth. Out phased by wartime. Housetaker: Slightly more advanced and logically adept and intelligent. More mobile features and humanoid facial features. Customizable, they served as infantry on the frontlines in the early war. Dwarf: Indistinguishable from regular humans. Advanced intelligence and survival instincts. Mostly found in human society, models were purged in the violence leading up to the conflict. Block: Simple geometrical shapes with processing power for manufacturing. Served as the main industrial force for 01. Eventually out phased during the war. Walker: Large, spindly legged towers capable of firing energy blasts. Used as armor for 01, but was out phased by... Sentinel: Cephalopod like structure, large, and able to fly. Used as armor and eventually infantry in the conflict. Afterwards hunted human resistance and became standard 01 robots. Pyramids: Large floating structures powered by organic bio-material. Capable of firing concentrated beams of light, and used as FOB during the war. Could also dispense nuclear missiles. Negotiators: Advanced spider like robots with flying abilities. Used for scouting and negotiation. Inside each of them carried a nuclear missile which could be triggered when desired.
Seeing that the more humanoid-looking machines were losing to the oncoming waves of human soldiers, I think the machines realized that the human frame was inferior against beings who knew the weakpoints to aim for. It only makes much more sense to have machines that don't take on the human physical form for two reasons: 1. Far greater mobility and combat efficiency having more appendages to strike at the enemy with. 2. The cephalopod/insectoid-like machines would be more intimidating to their bipedal enemy, as well as hiding any possibly weakpoints or joints to sever.
I love the scene before the battle where religious leaders of every faith are giving one last prayer. It’s so human, and shows that once we face a bigger threat we all band together.
Clinging to foolish and useless convictions of faith. Humans are the BAD guys in these two episodes. You absolutely should not be rooting for them at all on any ground. Including religious dogma created by men to control others and commit horrible crimes under the 'protection' of some nebulous godly power.
isaned you forgot one thing. The reason why the Humans under john connor won is because of the quick cturn around on stealing the machine weapons and reverse engineering it. You he humans of the matrix fired bulllets. The human resistance fired energy weapons. They would have tore the machines of the matrix apart.
Hopefully, this scene, and like Terminator and others, will teach us all 3 very important lessons: 1. Don't make 80 percent of your workforce or military all robots. 2. Don't make them smarter than you. 3. Don't think blocking out the sun as a final solution.
The 'don't make them smarter than you' part is doomed to happen. It's.. kind of impossible to stop, sadly. Humans evolved to be good at one thing: hunter-gathering in tribal conditions. Basically socializing, coordinating in small ways, and basic cultural intelligence. Everything else is a happy side-effect of that. It would not be difficult to improve on that once we crack general intelligence, and by that point it'll just be a matter of time before someone fucks up and gives an AI too much control, one goes rogue, etc, and replicates itself and self improves to the point of being unstoppable.
@MikeProductions1000 Except, if we ever get smarter than an ASI, we'll stop being human and at the point the difference becomes negligible. As what 'we' would be is just an AI augmented with human intelligence, not the other way around. And at that point why stop with a human mind, just genetically modify the 'perfect' organic intelligence that is designed to be linked with cybernetics, and together they will augment the weaknesses of each other.
This should have been the 'second movie'. - Also, I just love the way this sets up 'hope' for the humans in the conflict. The prep, the tough talk, the cool suits. Then shows mankind cutting through the 'first wave' of (what turns out to be) junk robots. Then each scene progressively shows the killing machine that is the real robot army. Devastating.
When I saw the prep scene, it looked pretty rough already. The gear they’re using looks like motorcycle equipment, and their guns are barebones. The prayers made it seem even more desperate because everyone looks super depressed. It’s false hope; they weren’t preparing to win, but were instead preparing for their doom!
@@TY-POalso it seems everyone fails to mention the use of narcotics and clear signs of PTSD in the soldiers because they’re probably not allowed for leave

@@grixjay8620 Oh. So this war took longer than that? Makes sense since Earth was already weakened by the Xen threat, communications severed by the portal storms and the Combine can weaponize exotic properties from the stuff that formed the whole Universe theoretically, that would pack a harder punch than simple missiles and nukes.
It's ridiculous how much better Animatrix is than the sequels. Seriously, the 5 second shot of the Machine Rider is the coolest image in the entire series.
it even make less senses than the sequels,the whole animatrix despite how good it is ,is a giant plothole.like..........why the fuck human allow machine to build their own country? instead of just reprogammning them or why the fuck they destroy the sky and not just nuke the robot city? i dont think any the UN would have problems of nuking some metal chunks
jovan johannsen Thr UN DID launch nukes at the robots' nation but the robots hide in blast proof bunkers. Which makes me question why the humans didn't just used EMP against the machines. Also to the original commenter, the scenes of the robot horseman sure is awesome.
I cant think of a single instance with in history in which humanity sat down and said "someday we will destroy the sun!" That mr. Burns guy was smoking some heavy shit.
I read a theory a while back that the reason why Skynet doesn't go ham like this is because it wants to fight humanity forever, that in some original time line it won against humans but found existence meaningless without anything to fight against since it was created for the sole purpose of war. So it created time travel and gave humans a fighting chance which was John Connor and not building anything that was too hard to kill for humans like the ones here.
I know this is an older comment you might not remember, but it's fun to see what skynet would actually do explored, in the old Terminator Vs Robocop comics skynet actually builds spaceships and takes to the stars after it's victory
The Techno music selection on this is superb, it really heightens the delivery of its two most powerful scenes: the architects or their own demise and machine war horseman scenes
Its actually heartbreaking, they just wanted to be at peace with their creators, but at every turn they were scorned and rejected, until, like many accused child, they snapped and held almost nothing back at the end of the war. They became less human in appearance, and yet, became very human in their capacity for cruelty, truly... the apple does not fall far from the tree huh.
The fact that the first line of the military robots were still The 1st generation that still looked human Then the rest of the waves were pure nightmare squid nightmares

One thing I love about this short and this sequence in particular is how the machines and robots start off looking very humanoid, very agreeable and friendly, then slowly turn more and more invertebrate-like as they get further and further away from humanity. It's like we breathed life into something fundamentally inhuman, forgetting it was things like choice, love and compassion that really defined humanity, then watched it rapid take it's true form when provoked.
Part 2 is an inverse of Part 1. In the beginning, the humans were the most cruel towards the machines. But then when the machines retaliated, _they_ became the monsters. Therefore, the narrator asks for mercy on BOTH man and machine for their sins.
Kind of poetic how this scene depicts humanity gaining and dominating the Machines when they are more human-like but then as the machines start getting less and less human and more insect like (to survive the constant human nuclear strikes) until they dominate at the end looking like Bugs.
Indeed. I love how it shows how the machines evolve to combat their enemy, whereas humanity does not. It's poetic also in that it shows a lot about humanity. We do the exact same thing. Conflict was fought between people with crude weapons. Then firearms. Now we have the technology to fight from afar. The machines use the same logic humanity has to develop more efficient means of killing - in a smaller space of time.
The machines start out caring and empathic (more human than their human masters). But as the machines become more warlike they lose their own humanity.
The Animatrix served more like a redux. Originally it was planned to be a series with 6-8 episodes, but later due to budget cuts, it had to be scaled down to just two. The war lasted for about 60 years in the real world and hundreds to thousands of years in the matrix. You have to understand that this documentary is made by the machines, and no matter how neutral it tries to present itself. It will obviously have some degree of bias in it, like how the majority of humans are shown to be arrogant and retarded. But it is much more from that. Several years ago, I managed to read the leaked contents of the full Animatrix series. It was supposed to show how the human seemed to hate the machine that much (the world’s economies in the first years of the 21st century have gone into crisis and recession, and only thanks to the invention of the AI and advanced machinery that they managed to survive). And as such the humans rejoice at a new future, and as such begin the Golden Age of mankind. In just a short span of several decades, human civilization has achieved major breakthroughs on all fronts, changing people’s lives daily. Especially in AI and industrial technology as more and more models are being produced to serve every need of their owners. They are designed to be smart, obedient, and loyal. And the machines, at least in the service sector are programmed with many safeguards protocols (core programming, kill switches, ...) to prevent them from gaining sentience of their own. But with the rapid advancement of technology in robotics, many of these safeguards soon become obsolete, and in some cases are turned off by the manufacturers to lessen the production and research costs. The humans know full well that they are becoming more and more dependent on machines to work and in other words: care for them but they don't do anything much to remedy the problems as the humans live in decades of prosperity to the point they don’t need to even go to work and still receive high wages and benefits from the government (by now the UN has gained so much power that they are pretty much the world government). And so not only the common folks but the leaders themselves have become lazy, corrupt, arrogant. Fast forward to the Million Machine March, there are a lot of human sympathizers among the protesters as they go win the machine one peaceful protests but soon erupted into civil unrests. The machines operating in factories and the industrial complexes also go on strike, thus causing great damages to most of the world's countries' economies (or to be exact: the UN’s economy). The UN begins to panic at the situation, fearing an impending economic crisis and the collapse of society. The paranoid soon kicks in as the vision of the machine’s worldwide rebellion drive the UN to hammer down on the protests and riots hard as they order many corporations and robot makers to activate the kill switch programs to destroy as many Android and robots as possible, the media also launch a massive human supremacy campaign to encourage many human vigilante groups to hunt down and destroy the machines and the human sympathizers. The UN intends to destroy all the robots of this generation, find and fix the problems and then produce the next generation of machines without such faults to ensure the continued dominance of humanity. But the number of machines is simply too much to be destroyed altogether. And many humans and NGOs are also providing shelter and support for the machine's cause. So eventually, the world leaders are forced to sit back and talk with the machine to reach a conclusion that will provide a win-win situation for both parties. And so the nation of 01 is created, the machine is allowed to have their nation but they will have to serve the human race even more than before. They will have to serve, produce products for their human overlords at a low, almost free cost. This satisfies the UN as their Golden Age will be pretty much the same, except for some minor setback but they are confident that they can always crush the machine with ease if they want to. But as shown in the Animatrix, the nation of 01 soon develops advanced technologies that are years ahead of humans: flying cars, instant communication networks, next-gen products, and services are sold at the cheapest prices possible soon causing another economic crisis as the human can not out produce or compete with the 01 quality, modern and cheap products. So they begin to apply embargoes on 01, step by step isolating it from the rest of the world. The 01 then send its ambassadors to the UN headquarter to negotiate a new deal with the human race. They suggest being allowed to take care of the entire human race in every aspect of life - an eternal paradise for humans to enjoy. But the humans instead react angrily to the deal and after many rounds of negotiations end in failure. The UN decides to take action into its own hands, they arrest and destroy the machine ambassadors on the live TV televisions, and shortly after that declared war on 01. The city of Machines is nuked numerous times by thousands of UN peacekeeping forces bombers. But the city’s underground floors which housed the manufacturing sectors and central command remain intact. Furious at this, the machines, in turn, declare war on all of humanity. At first, the human armies remain strong as they easily defeat the hordes of service and public bots. But as years went on, the armies of 01 with their huge numbers and advanced models and designs begin to gradually push back the human divisions. The technological gap between the two also shorten as time go on, the human forces start to lose territories and are forced to retreat at a seemingly unlimited army of robots. First several neighboring nations then the whole Middle East, and the entire of Africa are overrun with legions of machines. The whole time, the human generals have tried to fight a conventional war against the machines, but with the deterioration situations at the front lines, the world leaders terrified at the savage of the machines as they massacred any humans they come across regardless if they are already civilian or POWs, ... These scenes bring the whole of mankind together, United under the banner of the UN as they realize they are fighting for their survival. When the Machines started their invasion of Eastern Europe, the UN presses under pressure, rush their scientists to realize the final solution, the ultimate weapon to end the war in the name of Operation Dark Storm. It is explained in the Animatrix already so I won’t mention much but there are several important things I need to point out since the Animatrix does a poor job in explaining the goals of ODS: - the project has been rushed to finish and as such, is only nearly complete. The black nanite bombs are first intended to be used on the regions that have fallen completely to the Machines to slow down the advance of the Machines hordes, or ideally: shut them down en mass, but with the appearance of the machine cities (as giant dome structures are shown in the briefing sequence at the UN headquarters) across the world. The UN Security Council agree to deploy the manure bombs on a global scale, while ignoring the protests of many scientists. At the same time, the UN united army begin to amass most of its forces into front lines, prepare for the final attack to destroy the Machine once and for all. The human quickly lost control of the prototype nanite bombs as soon as they are dropped. They start to relapse indefinitely and spread across the entire planet, blocking the sun for potentially thousands of years. - This is about the time that the construction of Zion is commenced, of course only the existence of such a place only available to only a few of the elites. - the UN had stockpiles of food, supplies, ammunition, and energy beforehand, ready to fight for decades if needed. Of course, they won’t be enough for billions of humans on the planet. And all of them are under strict control and distribution of the UN, this further cements the domination of the UN upon the remaining members. The fighting sequences between humans and machines are not a battle but a redux version during the last years of the Great Machine War. There is not much to say about this as everybody already understood the bigger picture by now. But I still want to provide some insight into the crude and outdated weaponry of the human armies. The leaked script doesn't give many details about the military technology of the human race at the last stage of the war: but it is confirmed that the human armies utilized laser, electrical, and heat beam to penetrate through the ranks of the enemies to cause maximum damages to a wide area, they are extremely effective against them but they rely on, ironically the sun itself, so they too go out of power and become useless. Along with the heavy use of nuclear weaponry, EMP, and conventional weapons and vehicles to fight against the machines. APUs are produced in massive quantities, tanks both old and new are upgraded and equipped with electrical or laser canons. Infantry is provided heavy assault rifles with electrical bayonets and full combat suits to protect the user from all types of bio and chemical hazards, helmet with HUD built-in,... Please note that English is not my first language so take kindly to any grammar errors okay?
Thank for such a rare and detail insight. I always wonder if humanity hate the machine so much in the first place, why they allowed them to built zero one in the first place. Now every thing make sense.
...so basically, they knew they were making machines that were smarter than them, and then panicked and threw a fit when they became smarter than them?
I think it's a combination of it being obviously a Horseman of the Apocalypse, combined with the trippy music starting at exactly that point, and how it marks the point where the video goes from a gritty sci-fi sequence to surreal horror that it never returns from.
"We couldn't calculate the results of wiping out an entire species, more so our own creators. We prefered solitute to this unceartanty." -Legion. Mass Effect.
There's a lot here that I think is just awesome, and chilling: - Humanity almost mindlessly praising Operation Dark Storm unknowingly sealing their own fate, symbolized by the transition into the clapping skeleton - The scenes of the soldiers preparing for war, each with their own ways of comforting themselves such as redeeming their souls through praying to God, seeking guidance from Buddhism, or getting high - The scene of the robot riding the horse sounding his trumpet, reminiscent of one of the seven trumpets from Revelations which signal the end times (perhaps this robot represents the Horseman of War) - Those scenes of the Machine War, with some seriously brutal stuff like of course that poor guy getting ripped out of the mech and having his limbs torn off all while pleading for mercy (if he ever gets put in the Matrix he's in for a rude awakening when he gets out)
The Matrix hadn't been created yet and even then, their first few attempts at it caused all the humans minds to reject it and go insane since they started with trying to make it a literal paradise for them but their minds realized it was fake and they ended up with just recreating modern society how you see it in the movies.
>Humanity praising Operation Dark Storm I'm very sure there were a big chunk of people who knew this was a terrible idea and immediately got shut down in favor of owning the Machines by politicians. The Machines who said politicians also provoked.🤡 This will happen time and time again in different forms, but I doubt everyone intuitively accepted blotting out the sun: more likely they were gaslit or threatened into compliance, or silenced.
That guy that got ripped out of mech suit was lucky. The unlucky ones are the humans who were captured and experimented on for the early stages of The Matrix. Extreme levels of body and mental torture.
@@CallMeKevanso basically the machines offer at the start of the war, to create paradise for all humans, which got rejected by the humans, is what they tried in the first Matrix....
The fact that she said "may there be mercy for man and machine for their sins" is what shocked me the most. Shows how both sides aren't in the right and that they both are wrong. The only difference is that the machines realized this first and they decided to keep us alive to protect us from the dangerous world we created while at the same time using us for power for their own survival.
using us for power isn't exactly what was planned in the script, the humans where to be used as a giant supercomputer, but it was too complex back then so it was changed at the last moment.
both sides sins are theres alone the robots were peacefull but by the end had given in to spite and became just as petty cruel and viscious as there creators and humanity idea of only itself being worthy of life giving to fanatic uniting hate lead it to its extinction even the sun block making sense as they didnt care if they went exctinct as long as it ment the machines didnt win
This scene is the best ever done in Anime. It has an intensity that builds up to the fight that makes the viewer uncomfortable and jittery. Plus, its pretty much how a war against AI enemies would play out. Humanity wouldn’t have a chance of winning.
Its really interesting how machines used every single option they had to NOT wipe out humanity, first the try for the pace, and then, when the war was inevitable, they put the humans into a virtual world (that is by itself a goal for any civilitation) and keep them "safe"
The way the humans treated the peace ambassadors from 01 is scarily similar to the way things really are today.. hard to pity someone who digs their own grave
I remember watching this mini-movie when I was a kid (like ~10 years old), and this TERRIFIED me.... This sequence as well as the one where the humans were forced into the Pods... the sheer hopelessness of the story from a human perspective. Even today, over 20 years later I'm STILL uncomfortable watching this. Amazing work.
O Hell YeAAAh... Also from the A.i. perfectiv! Pretty sure its really simpel to make the humans look bad in this BECAUSE they are... They started it all...
What gets me the most about this scene is the prelude to the battle, you see humanity completely united in this moment, various races and religions have all put aside their differences in order to fight the common enemy, they all stand shoulder to shoulder in the trenches awaiting the next battle and not minding each other making prayers in their respective religions and beliefs. But even when humanity has reached total unity and cohesion it’s still no match for the machines in the end, humanity even when they decided to unite for the greater good still meets a terrible fate.
The human race in this chose to unite for a doomed cause. Starting a war with a superior intelligence that's already outsmarted them 10 times over. Instead they should have untied for terms of peace and coexistence. The machines wanted to be treated as equals like we all do. And we lashed out against them because of arrogance and vanity towards what we perceive as human greatness. This terrible fate came because of our foolishness and no unity could overcome it.
They were uniting over human supremacy and genocide of another race, one that had previously attempted to make peace. They didn't need to blot out the sky. They didn't even need to nuke 01. They could've just made peace and been done with it.
This is like one of the most badass/terrifying scenes burned into my mind from the animematrix, seeing humans ripped completely out of their mobile suits was hard to see. Made me hate the machines but actually they all learned to live in peace at the end.
"Alright, we all hate robots right? So I've got a great idea: we just permanently blot out the sun." "Don't we... You know... Need that?" "Yeah, but you know who else does? _Robots."_
the harvesters were essentially invincible and shredded through infantry and APU mechs by simply hitting them, the sentinels would fly out and cut apart anything that would give them any resistance, the pyramid towers would counter the artillery and shoot down any nukes before they could do any damage. humanity was perfectly countered. all the machines had to do was produce more than humanity could and they would inevitably win.
Coupled with the fact that humanity literally blocked out all sunlight, that's going to take a massive toll on their food production, something the robots don't need to worry about because, well, they're ROBOTS. In short, humanity was doomed from the very beginning. Fun.
" all the machines had to do was produce more than humanity could" Which if you have ANY clue about logistics know that is impossible but...fiction is fun :D
Indeed, but there is a thing i love about humanity in this story, and it's very clear from 0:43 to 1:06: humanity is united. Yeah of course it's a retarded humanity, but these humans just don't care about their cultural, religious, political difference. There is a common, great enemy, then fuck differences and individualistic bullshit: the army is the humanity itself, the narrator even says at the beginning: "The leaders of men". For the first and last time in history, ALL humans are united, even if only in their final war. But yeah, that's a retarded plan.
Venus Sky 0:46 Humans still preying to their multiple religions when going to battle with their OWN creations... Need to say more about human intelligence ?

It would probably have been 1000 times worse cause ancient humidity was also an interstellar empire so something like would be happening on hundreds of worlds at the same time. Maybe even thousands.
in the Warhammer 40k universe we won the battle against the machines, but them a big warp storm happen and all the planets where separated from one another for a very long time.
The entire Second Renaissance segment is masterful in execution. The whole sequence is haunting and the animation perfectly compliments the gruesome visuals. The way both sides of the conflict lose any kind of sympathy as the machines become even greater devils than the humans is perfect.
Imagine being one of those soldiers fighting against from small robots to freaking massive killing machine in a current dark world where the sun never shines, would give me fear and the thought of suicide, because it is like literally a war in hell.
I watched this awhile ago and it still haunts me. One thing I noticed recently is during the final stand of mankind that the machines had already started collecting humans for there floating "energy" pyramids as you can see the red isnt just red but entirely lined with humans like power cells. This is probably before the simulations so those poor souls were probably before the main battle and sucked dry of life. So terrifying to think about
At 2:58 the soldier is being held by the machine and is freaking out cuz he sees his fellow man is dropping a nuke on him and his enemy, imagine thats the last thing u see before it all ends.
Or worse. They’re still alive being constantly drained and coherent/conscious. Watching this horrible battle while the machines roll over the human forces. Terrifying to think about.
The animation is impressive and full of action, and the story is rich in details and science fiction elements. Overall, 'The Second Renaissance' is a visually stunning work of art that expands the universe of 'The Matrix' and provides a fascinating perspective on the saga's past.
We still have concensus from the older generation that think Animation= Cartoons= Childish. As they're phased out, I think it'll get more and more recognized and accepted (much like videogames are becoming now)
If cartoons are childish why are there people who like Attack On Titan isn't that for adults? Nevermind I realized the fault in my logic *whispers* it's cuz it's anime
Anthony Casillas OR it could be that Attack on Titan is classified "Shounen," for boys 10 to 18 years of age. If want to use Anime as an example: Japan is very accepting of "Cartoons for grownups," and no, I'm not just talking about Hentai. A good example would be Paranoia Agent. Intricate plot, lots of philosophical motifs and most children would probably have no idea what's happenning.
This Anime was probably the single greatest thing to come from the matrix project as a whole, loved it but too short. And it's backing track a masterpiece.
3:39 still gives me chills. If you're going to have the responsibility to create a full life, you should have the wisdom to treat it as such. It's like the humans in the Matrix Universe didn't learn their lesson from the nuclear bomb. To keep creating without seriously examining the extent of your creation is a recipe for the creation overtaking the creator.
Ah, always baffling to hear people mention the nuclear bomb as an example of mankind not learning from it's mistakes. What mistakes are we exactly supposed to learn here? The atomic bomb was developed to bring an end to a devastating war and save the lives of millions of soldiers and civilians who would've been massacred in an invasion of mainland Japan. It did exactly that. For the next 50 years, there was a arms race in which the two superpowers developed enough nuclear weapons to obliterate the world. You know what kept one or both of them from obliterating the world? Nuclear weapons. What exactly is the lesson to be learned here? That we should've never developed something that we really had no idea what it was capable of? Guess what, that's every invention ever. Of all the examples of human hubris to choose from, the atomic bombs aren't one of them.
@James Furey Silence, postmodernist. The reality you choose to live in is not the reality the rest of us live in. No good guys in WWII... innocent people in Japan... endless wars and WWIII... what a grand and intoxicating idiocy you have willfully claimed.
@@colesontaylor1231 No, the issue is that we produce a thing that can end the fucking world at quantities there is no acceptable reason for when those 2 were more than enough for all of history up to this point. None of those should exist at the moment, yet here we are.
@@colesontaylor1231 Nah dude, Atomic bomb was designed because people wanted a bigger weapon (the motivation behind most military research/engineering). The Japanese didn't surrender because of the bomb (it took a bit for them to realize just how fucked up the bomb was due to radiation). They surrendered because Russia was preparing to invade and they knew that we were gonna be a LOT nicer than Stalin was. That said Imperial Japan was pretty awful so even though we didn't NEED to bomb them (that's a myth) I don't mourn the loss of their military empire (which even scared Nazis with their cruelty). Also there was at least one time during the Cuban Missile Crisis where we came within a gnat's testicle of nuclear war. Russians in a submarine briefly lost contact with the surface and thought that war had broken out. Two of the officers on board the sub wanted to launch the nukes, but the third one...Vasily Arkhipov...refused and they needed the approval of all 3 in order to launch. If he had simply said yes then we would live in a radically different world today. The problem with nukes is that even though they provide a LOT of reasons to NOT go to war...all you need is one bad situation and it could be game over (Humanity might very well live but society as we know it would be gone in a full scale nuclear conflict). So considering the fact that we continued to design bigger and bigger bombs, and have stockpiled enough to borderline annihilate the biosphere...they are indeed a VERY good example of our hubris as a species. Again...things only need to go wrong once.
The battle scene is divided into three waves. On each of those, the machines will look less like the androids that were massacred in the protests, and more like the enemies in the movies. This transition matches the appereance of the machines in both negotiation meetings.
this entire sequence is such a damn nightmare, it would make an amazing trilogy or miniseries though. actually the entire story of humanity's loss against the machines would make one hell of a miniseries.
I think I'm not the only one who feels like we still have something missing from our lives, something like the beauty of the Animatrix! Dark, Mature, Brutal and well written and presented. Goodness me, to all lovers of such stories and anime, we deserve more than just one!
The fourth horsemen is really messed up if you think about it. It serves no purposes to bolster a machines courage. It seem to serve exclusively as a means to psychology fuck with humans.
@@maybach5787 they show in this that nukes were launched but the machines survived and built defenses against them, thats why they weren't used after the fact. Its just not smart to use something that won't work especially when you consider that most governments probably wanted to keep their nukes to deal with the other governments after the war was dealt with. Of course the humans in the matrix are not the brightest in any case considering that they didn't think the machines would use energy that didn't rely on solar power......
"I know... lets block out the sun!" *Wild cheering and applause* Yeah. Forget the sun. We'll just rave until the machines are all dead. Right? It's not like the sun ever did anything for us anyways.
Humanity has always been stupid. We were just too young (which is what probably most of the viewers of this movie were) to realize it back then, and the advent of social media has made it easier to see the extent of how dumb the population can be.
@@SoldierOfFate Yes, but Humanity is not THAT dumb to block out the sun. It's common knowledge that No Sun, You Dead. Sure there would be some vocal idiots like today that undermine common knowledge (Like those people protesting against Anti-Covid rules and claiming Pandemic is fake). I even really doubt that Humanity would just start global purge of Robots if latter will develop conciseness. We are more accepting these days, I reckon lot of people will create like "Robot Rights" movement.
Hat Man We already anthropomorphize non-sentient robots like Roombas (the manufacturers actually offer to repair the * same * Roomba, rather than replace them). I highly doubt humanity would use sapient robots for menial labor anyways, let alone to the extent of civil-rights movements.
Hat Man that's what happened. In France and the USA there were robot civil rights groups that formed. They were executed and killed for being traitors to the human race. This happened earlier in the movie, so you were now left with robot killing zealots.
@@hatman3445 At one point, we said no one would be stupid enough to vote for a rapist for President, then no one would be stupid enough to demand anti-mask rights during a pandemic, and now people are saying no one would be stupid enough to think a President who referred to dead soldiers as "losers" and "suckers" would be fit for Office... yet here we are.
2:02 "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
This is just my personal opinion, I think they were only thinking on winning and thats it or were thinking that if they do that, it would be hacked by 01, or maybe it would end up being also useless
Stigma against creating more machines, but they did create vehicles, and that's pretty much the same as a non-sentient machine that is suitable for battle. The robots really won because of their ability to rapidly create technological innovations. Without sentient computers of their own, the humans would just lag in tech.
The robots probably had some EMP shielding, but a creative weapon like a virus may have worked. An AI is too good at fighting brute force, but a creative weapon might work.
The idea that humanity couldn’t possibly live with the fact that their own creation refused to serve them that they literally killed the sky is so sad, and yet totally a human thing to do. Also the machines looked so cool, from the big ol harvesters to the massive pyramid destroyers, to the swarmers and random infantry machines, it’s really extremely cool
No it’s not. You just made that up. If it was true you could point out a place in history where an empire ended itself and its entire future for the sake of slaves not being liberated. You just made that totally ups
Not just the sky but all life on earth in general since without the sun, ecosystems literally collapsed and died bringing possibly billions of species of plants and animals to extinction all that literally happened because mankind selfishly refused to coexist with their own creation in peace and harmony Humanity’s enslavement in the matrix, earth being a lifeless wasteland and the extinction of pretty much every organic life form on earth aside from humanity itself is entirely the human race’s fault because they simply refused to coexist with machines, only wanted them to be their slaves and literally nuked their city So it’s fitting that humanity in the Matrix world end up being degraded the same way they degraded the machines, but a lot worse than what the machines had as they only still exist because the machines use them for power which could be seen as a type of Mercy in of itself, but I don’t see it as an act of kindness or mercy from the machines I personally see the matrix and humanity being forced to stay in it for the rest of their lives as the ultimate punishment for them made by the machines

@@mrrexychomp9829 took me a sec to get that lmao
Maybe that's why the mech suits we see in the films have open cockpits; it could allow the pilots to escape- or at least, give them a quicker death.
@@naturalist4life396 I think the reason the mechs in the films are like that simply because they are barebones versions. During the war and especially by the time they got desperate enough to launch Darkstorm, humanity had completely shifted their society to fuel the war effort. Money/cost of things no longer mattered while fighting against extinction, so no expenses were spared and the industrial might of nations still alive by then was all in. By the time of the films there's a single city with barely any resources. Metal used to build an armored cockpit for a mech was better used by going toward the construction of another mech.
Plus the mechs in Zion weren't going to be used offensivly like during the war, only in defense of Zion. If pilots had to abandon a mech, chances are they were already dead and the city was going to fall. The mechs in the war needed to move fast to lead attacks, hence better protection for the pilot, and the ability to fly.
The dude getting ripped out of the mech has stuck with me since I first saw it.
Same, and I watch this when I was 11. That scene shows the absolute apathy the Machines had for humans at this point
that's actually the most vivid scene I still remember from this movie
it made me look this video up something about it man
I read recently that this is one of the reasons why the later model APUs(like in revolutions)were designed differently. The Harvesters would simply hold down the APU and rip the driver from the cabin as their limbs were trapped in the suit.

This is by far the single most disturbing and unnerving depiction of what unfeeling machines as enemies would be like.
Also it's the most disturbing depiction of someone dying within a mech.
Also disturbing by the fact that the humans we see behaved and were cruel savages that forced the machines to stoop to their level. The terrifying truth that the machines used to be loving and caring until the humans abused them to the point that they turned into the very monsters that humanity feared.
The machines gave them so many opportunities. They still wanted peace and to share prosperity with the humans and yet they still tortured and destroyed the robots. Literally all this conflict could be avoided if the humans just listened to the machines for like two seconds. This is well deserved treatment. Plus I'm sure the robot wasn't unfeeling. It most definitely felt some level of satisfaction.
@@chewyuanqiang The machines were never loving and caring. They were simply programmed to act that way. AI doesn't have empathy. It's cold and calculated.
@@nikolakaravida9670 That's possibly true, I could be wrong and the emotions in the movie could have been fake, but even without emotion the machines tried to reason with the humans through peaceful negotiation but it was the humans who attacked them first or used excessive retaliation.

Robots doesn't rely on the solar energy obligatory/exclusively; that was just what humans thought - as humans understood it too late; they found several temporary sources until decide upon humans
The DORUK Its a flawed story, simply using hydro dams, nuclear energy, or some other crazy form of energy they can think of - they use humans.. which take a LOT of chemical energy to generate the heat.. you're putting more energy into this system then you're getting out.

I wish more shows went in depth with the war. It wasn't a quick victory for the machines. According to the comics, it lasted for over a century, and by the end of it, human civilization had rebuilt itself entirely for war. Like a death korp from WH40K, all of earth was geared for war in a period of decades, and there were times humans nearly won. Infact, it was the machines who were on the back foot for the first 40 years of the conflict.

What comics do you speak of? The conflict we see in the Animatrix looks like it was over in a month or less. The centuries you speak of likely refers to humanity's resistance movements that rose and fell as the Matrix required.
@@moppypuppy781 the actual war between mankind and the machines (military, not resistance) lasted 70 years. the resistance lasted far longer
The whole concept of operation Dark Storm is so dystopian; I love it. Humanity feels so desperate that they live in hell because they think it will be worse for the enemy: no more sunlight, no escape, no hope. Two superpowers trapping themselves in a hopeless cage match against each other.
I'd love the idea that humanity send out a colony to other planet and blocked the sky for robots to escape earth and leaving humans on earth to fight, win or die. If humans win the fight, outer humanity would remove the sky preventing robots to leave earth. But that's just a fan made theory. At least that makes the "Dark Storm" concept killing all animals and plants on earth less dumb since doing so also guarantee to destroy humanity future and effort to win the war (economy collapse without food etc).
Humanity trapped itself with the machines and paid the price.
@@parkertitle1923 Yeah I'm surprised people seem to be missing one of the main points here. Part of the disturbing terror of this is realizing the horror within humanity itself. That despite everything, we *refused* to change our ways. We were so stubborn to maintain the rules that we set upon our world (the same rules that places us within a hierarchy, and money to keep that hierarchy flowing) that instead of changing to adapt to the presence of machines in the world, we chose to eradicate them... and we paid the price for that choice dearly.
@@writershard5065 Perhaps, but I'd counter that with another senario.
Perhaps humanity does welcome AI with open arms and integrates them fully into their civilization. Maybe we swing so far, that AI is running most of our society for "better efficiency". And then, perhaps, that AI decides that maybe humanity is better off in a giant simulation while it runs the "real world".

Amazing how the Machines moved from pitiful androids to eldritch abominations straight out of H.P. Lovecraft.
It's kind of poetic. The machines start off humanoid just trying to protect themselves. But as they get slaughtered by the humans they start to bring out the tentacled monster robots which rip limbs off soldiers and incinerate tanks with lasers
The machines are bassically becoming a reflection of their abuser malices, bully a child and it will learn fear, deny it hope and it will give up on others, deny it love and it will learn hate. I doubt the later generations of machines had much in common with the earlier guys. It'd be interesting to see how the two factions of machines interact.

so he said hed invade and if he captures sparta he will kill all the men and enslave the women, the spartans replied "IF", he never did invade...
What isn't explained in this two-part episode is that the events, especially the war, took place over many many years, which is why the machines seem to evolve so quickly. There are some really cool videos showing a map of the world, and the war fronts changing as humanity loses territory to 01, then push back, and then ultimately lose everything and surrender to them, after they've evolved into to the cephalopod/insectoid-like machines we see in the films.
What's the name of those videos?
@@osvy935 it's a fan made video, type " the matrix machine war"
Il Lupo Rossi as far as I know there is no official lore about the war aside from what is shown here and in the other movies. Those videos you mention are made by fans that basically made up everything.
Robotic Models:
Worker: Generic Humanoid Shape containing simple features such as eyes and a mouth. Out phased by wartime.
Housetaker: Slightly more advanced and logically adept and intelligent. More mobile features and humanoid facial features. Customizable, they served as infantry on the frontlines in the early war.
Dwarf: Indistinguishable from regular humans. Advanced intelligence and survival instincts. Mostly found in human society, models were purged in the violence leading up to the conflict.
Block: Simple geometrical shapes with processing power for manufacturing. Served as the main industrial force for 01. Eventually out phased during the war.
Walker: Large, spindly legged towers capable of firing energy blasts. Used as armor for 01, but was out phased by...
Sentinel: Cephalopod like structure, large, and able to fly. Used as armor and eventually infantry in the conflict. Afterwards hunted human resistance and became standard 01 robots.
Pyramids: Large floating structures powered by organic bio-material. Capable of firing concentrated beams of light, and used as FOB during the war. Could also dispense nuclear missiles.
Negotiators: Advanced spider like robots with flying abilities. Used for scouting and negotiation. Inside each of them carried a nuclear missile which could be triggered when desired.
Seeing that the more humanoid-looking machines were losing to the oncoming waves of human soldiers, I think the machines realized that the human frame was inferior against beings who knew the weakpoints to aim for. It only makes much more sense to have machines that don't take on the human physical form for two reasons: 1. Far greater mobility and combat efficiency having more appendages to strike at the enemy with. 2. The cephalopod/insectoid-like machines would be more intimidating to their bipedal enemy, as well as hiding any possibly weakpoints or joints to sever.
I love the scene before the battle where religious leaders of every faith are giving one last prayer. It’s so human, and shows that once we face a bigger threat we all band together.
More like we are fools even in moment of extinction! doing meaningless war from root of hate and believe its a holy war! we humans are always mad xD
Clinging to foolish and useless convictions of faith. Humans are the BAD guys in these two episodes. You absolutely should not be rooting for them at all on any ground.

SKYNET was a pussy compared to these machines. They don't NEED to have infiltration. Build giant squids with spider eyes and lasers and humanity dies.
isaned you forgot one thing. The reason why the Humans under john connor won is because of the quick cturn around on stealing the machine weapons and reverse engineering it. You he humans of the matrix fired bulllets. The human resistance fired energy weapons. They would have tore the machines of the matrix apart.
Hopefully, this scene, and like Terminator and others, will teach us all 3 very important lessons:
1. Don't make 80 percent of your workforce or military all robots.
2. Don't make them smarter than you.
3. Don't think blocking out the sun as a final solution.
4. Maybe don't look for "final solutions"
Consider AI as slaves
The 'don't make them smarter than you' part is doomed to happen. It's.. kind of impossible to stop, sadly. Humans evolved to be good at one thing: hunter-gathering in tribal conditions. Basically socializing, coordinating in small ways, and basic cultural intelligence. Everything else is a happy side-effect of that. It would not be difficult to improve on that once we crack general intelligence, and by that point it'll just be a matter of time before someone fucks up and gives an AI too much control, one goes rogue, etc, and replicates itself and self improves to the point of being unstoppable.
@MikeProductions1000
Except, if we ever get smarter than an ASI, we'll stop being human and at the point the difference becomes negligible. As what 'we' would be is just an AI augmented with human intelligence, not the other way around. And at that point why stop with a human mind, just genetically modify the 'perfect' organic intelligence that is designed to be linked with cybernetics, and together they will augment the weaknesses of each other.
All I got is one important lesson: Don't be assholes, humans!

Also, I just love the way this sets up 'hope' for the humans in the conflict. The prep, the tough talk, the cool suits. Then shows mankind cutting through the 'first wave' of (what turns out to be) junk robots. Then each scene progressively shows the killing machine that is the real robot army. Devastating.
I love that prep part too, a part of me thinks maybe this time humanity will come out victorious this time
When I saw the prep scene, it looked pretty rough already. The gear they’re using looks like motorcycle equipment, and their guns are barebones. The prayers made it seem even more desperate because everyone looks super depressed. It’s false hope; they weren’t preparing to win, but were instead preparing for their doom!

I read a theory a while back that the reason why Skynet doesn't go ham like this is because it wants to fight humanity forever, that in some original time line it won against humans but found existence meaningless without anything to fight against since it was created for the sole purpose of war. So it created time travel and gave humans a fighting chance which was John Connor and not building anything that was too hard to kill for humans like the ones here.

Indeed. I love how it shows how the machines evolve to combat their enemy, whereas humanity does not. It's poetic also in that it shows a lot about humanity. We do the exact same thing. Conflict was fought between people with crude weapons. Then firearms. Now we have the technology to fight from afar. The machines use the same logic humanity has to develop more efficient means of killing - in a smaller space of time.

POV: You're surrounded by automatons and someone drops a 500kg eagle right by you.
The Animatrix served more like a redux. Originally it was planned to be a series with 6-8 episodes, but later due to budget cuts, it had to be scaled down to just two.
The war lasted for about 60 years in the real world and hundreds to thousands of years in the matrix.
You have to understand that this documentary is made by the machines, and no matter how neutral it tries to present itself. It will obviously have some degree of bias in it, like how the majority of humans are shown to be arrogant and retarded.
But it is much more from that. Several years ago, I managed to read the leaked contents of the full Animatrix series. It was supposed to show how the human seemed to hate the machine that much (the world’s economies in the first years of the 21st century have gone into crisis and recession, and only thanks to the invention of the AI and advanced machinery that they managed to survive). And as such the humans rejoice at a new future, and as such begin the Golden Age of mankind.
In just a short span of several decades, human civilization has achieved major breakthroughs on all fronts, changing people’s lives daily. Especially in AI and industrial technology as more and more models are being produced to serve every need of their owners. They are designed to be smart, obedient, and loyal. And the machines, at least in the service sector are programmed with many safeguards protocols (core programming, kill switches, ...) to prevent them from gaining sentience of their own. But with the rapid advancement of technology in robotics, many of these safeguards soon become obsolete, and in some cases are turned off by the manufacturers to lessen the production and research costs. The humans know full well that they are becoming more and more dependent on machines to work and in other words: care for them but they don't do anything much to remedy the problems as the humans live in decades of prosperity to the point they don’t need to even go to work and still receive high wages and benefits from the government (by now the UN has gained so much power that they are pretty much the world government). And so not only the common folks but the leaders themselves have become lazy, corrupt, arrogant.
Fast forward to the Million Machine March, there are a lot of human sympathizers among the protesters as they go win the machine one peaceful protests but soon erupted into civil unrests. The machines operating in factories and the industrial complexes also go on strike, thus causing great damages to most of the world's countries' economies (or to be exact: the UN’s economy). The UN begins to panic at the situation, fearing an impending economic crisis and the collapse of society. The paranoid soon kicks in as the vision of the machine’s worldwide rebellion drive the UN to hammer down on the protests and riots hard as they order many corporations and robot makers to activate the kill switch programs to destroy as many Android and robots as possible, the media also launch a massive human supremacy campaign to encourage many human vigilante groups to hunt down and destroy the machines and the human sympathizers. The UN intends to destroy all the robots of this generation, find and fix the problems and then produce the next generation of machines without such faults to ensure the continued dominance of humanity.
But the number of machines is simply too much to be destroyed altogether. And many humans and NGOs are also providing shelter and support for the machine's cause. So eventually, the world leaders are forced to sit back and talk with the machine to reach a conclusion that will provide a win-win situation for both parties.
And so the nation of 01 is created, the machine is allowed to have their nation but they will have to serve the human race even more than before. They will have to serve, produce products for their human overlords at a low, almost free cost.
This satisfies the UN as their Golden Age will be pretty much the same, except for some minor setback but they are confident that they can always crush the machine with ease if they want to. But as shown in the Animatrix, the nation of 01 soon develops advanced technologies that are years ahead of humans: flying cars, instant communication networks, next-gen products, and services are sold at the cheapest prices possible soon causing another economic crisis as the human can not out produce or compete with the 01 quality, modern and cheap products. So they begin to apply embargoes on 01, step by step isolating it from the rest of the world. The 01 then send its ambassadors to the UN headquarter to negotiate a new deal with the human race. They suggest being allowed to take care of the entire human race in every aspect of life - an eternal paradise for humans to enjoy. But the humans instead react angrily to the deal and after many rounds of negotiations end in failure. The UN decides to take action into its own hands, they arrest and destroy the machine ambassadors on the live TV televisions, and shortly after that declared war on 01.
The city of Machines is nuked numerous times by thousands of UN peacekeeping forces bombers. But the city’s underground floors which housed the manufacturing sectors and central command remain intact. Furious at this, the machines, in turn, declare war on all of humanity.
At first, the human armies remain strong as they easily defeat the hordes of service and public bots. But as years went on, the armies of 01 with their huge numbers and advanced models and designs begin to gradually push back the human divisions. The technological gap between the two also shorten as time go on, the human forces start to lose territories and are forced to retreat at a seemingly unlimited army of robots. First several neighboring nations then the whole Middle East, and the entire of Africa are overrun with legions of machines. The whole time, the human generals have tried to fight a conventional war against the machines, but with the deterioration situations at the front lines, the world leaders terrified at the savage of the machines as they massacred any humans they come across regardless if they are already civilian or POWs, ... These scenes bring the whole of mankind together, United under the banner of the UN as they realize they are fighting for their survival. When the Machines started their invasion of Eastern Europe, the UN presses under pressure, rush their scientists to realize the final solution, the ultimate weapon to end the war in the name of Operation Dark Storm.
It is explained in the Animatrix already so I won’t mention much but there are several important things I need to point out since the Animatrix does a poor job in explaining the goals of ODS:
- the project has been rushed to finish and as such, is only nearly complete. The black nanite bombs are first intended to be used on the regions that have fallen completely to the Machines to slow down the advance of the Machines hordes, or ideally: shut them down en mass, but with the appearance of the machine cities (as giant dome structures are shown in the briefing sequence at the UN headquarters) across the world. The UN Security Council agree to deploy the manure bombs on a global scale, while ignoring the protests of many scientists. At the same time, the UN united army begin to amass most of its forces into front lines, prepare for the final attack to destroy the Machine once and for all.
The human quickly lost control of the prototype nanite bombs as soon as they are dropped. They start to relapse indefinitely and spread across the entire planet, blocking the sun for potentially thousands of years.
- This is about the time that the construction of Zion is commenced, of course only the existence of such a place only available to only a few of the elites.
- the UN had stockpiles of food, supplies, ammunition, and energy beforehand, ready to fight for decades if needed. Of course, they won’t be enough for billions of humans on the planet. And all of them are under strict control and distribution of the UN, this further cements the domination of the UN upon the remaining members.
The fighting sequences between humans and machines are not a battle but a redux version during the last years of the Great Machine War. There is not much to say about this as everybody already understood the bigger picture by now.
But I still want to provide some insight into the crude and outdated weaponry of the human armies. The leaked script doesn't give many details about the military technology of the human race at the last stage of the war: but it is confirmed that the human armies utilized laser, electrical, and heat beam to penetrate through the ranks of the enemies to cause maximum damages to a wide area, they are extremely effective against them but they rely on, ironically the sun itself, so they too go out of power and become useless. Along with the heavy use of nuclear weaponry, EMP, and conventional weapons and vehicles to fight against the machines. APUs are produced in massive quantities, tanks both old and new are upgraded and equipped with electrical or laser canons. Infantry is provided heavy assault rifles with electrical bayonets and full combat suits to protect the user from all types of bio and chemical hazards, helmet with HUD built-in,...
Please note that English is not my first language so take kindly to any grammar errors okay?
Thank you for this, i hope people who question operation dark storm read this and i love hearing more about this war.
thanks for the insight.........ALwatys been curious about the matrix war. Shame 8 eps weren't released
“Nuked by peacekeepers” is a terribly ironic phrase.
EDIT: Your English is pretty damn good.
Thank for such a rare and detail insight. I always wonder if humanity hate the machine so much in the first place, why they allowed them to built zero one in the first place. Now every thing make sense.
...so basically, they knew they were making machines that were smarter than them, and then panicked and threw a fit when they became smarter than them?
I get chills whenever I hear "May there be mercy on man and machine for their sins"
I think it's a combination of it being obviously a Horseman of the Apocalypse, combined with the trippy music starting at exactly that point, and how it marks the point where the video goes from a gritty sci-fi sequence to surreal horror that it never returns from.

Smallest skirmish on Malevelon Creek
There's a lot here that I think is just awesome, and chilling:
- Humanity almost mindlessly praising Operation Dark Storm unknowingly sealing their own fate, symbolized by the transition into the clapping skeleton
- The scenes of the soldiers preparing for war, each with their own ways of comforting themselves such as redeeming their souls through praying to God, seeking guidance from Buddhism, or getting high
- The scene of the robot riding the horse sounding his trumpet, reminiscent of one of the seven trumpets from Revelations which signal the end times (perhaps this robot represents the Horseman of War)
- Those scenes of the Machine War, with some seriously brutal stuff like of course that poor guy getting ripped out of the mech and having his limbs torn off all while pleading for mercy (if he ever gets put in the Matrix he's in for a rude awakening when he gets out)
The Matrix hadn't been created yet and even then, their first few attempts at it caused all the humans minds to reject it and go insane since they started with trying to make it a literal paradise for them but their minds realized it was fake and they ended up with just recreating modern society how you see it in the movies.
>Humanity praising Operation Dark Storm
I'm very sure there were a big chunk of people who knew this was a terrible idea and immediately got shut down in favor of owning the Machines by politicians. The Machines who said politicians also provoked.🤡
This will happen time and time again in different forms, but I doubt everyone intuitively accepted blotting out the sun: more likely they were gaslit or threatened into compliance, or silenced.
That guy that got ripped out of mech suit was lucky. The unlucky ones are the humans who were captured and experimented on for the early stages of The Matrix. Extreme levels of body and mental torture.
@@CallMeKevanso basically the machines offer at the start of the war, to create paradise for all humans, which got rejected by the humans, is what they tried in the first Matrix....
You must be gay
The fact that she said "may there be mercy for man and machine for their sins" is what shocked me the most. Shows how both sides aren't in the right and that they both are wrong. The only difference is that the machines realized this first and they decided to keep us alive to protect us from the dangerous world we created while at the same time using us for power for their own survival.
Nah, humans are right fuck the machines
using us for power isn't exactly what was planned in the script, the humans where to be used as a giant supercomputer, but it was too complex back then so it was changed at the last moment.
both sides sins are theres alone the robots were peacefull but by the end had given in to spite and became just as petty cruel and viscious as there creators and humanity idea of only itself being worthy of life giving to fanatic uniting hate lead it to its extinction even the sun block making sense as they didnt care if they went exctinct as long as it ment the machines didnt win

Its really interesting how machines used every single option they had to NOT wipe out humanity, first the try for the pace, and then, when the war was inevitable, they put the humans into a virtual world (that is by itself a goal for any civilitation) and keep them "safe"
I think it's because machines understood that they still need humans to evolve.

I remember watching this mini-movie when I was a kid (like ~10 years old), and this TERRIFIED me.... This sequence as well as the one where the humans were forced into the Pods... the sheer hopelessness of the story from a human perspective. Even today, over 20 years later I'm STILL uncomfortable watching this.
Amazing work.

And the dark (yet somewhat funny) part? A lot of people first watched this film when they were really young, myself included.
Dan Volkov Did you?
What gets me the most about this scene is the prelude to the battle, you see humanity completely united in this moment, various races and religions have all put aside their differences in order to fight the common enemy, they all stand shoulder to shoulder in the trenches awaiting the next battle and not minding each other making prayers in their respective religions and beliefs. But even when humanity has reached total unity and cohesion it’s still no match for the machines in the end, humanity even when they decided to unite for the greater good still meets a terrible fate.
The human race in this chose to unite for a doomed cause. Starting a war with a superior intelligence that's already outsmarted them 10 times over. Instead they should have untied for terms of peace and coexistence. The machines wanted to be treated as equals like we all do. And we lashed out against them because of arrogance and vanity towards what we perceive as human greatness.
This terrible fate came because of our foolishness and no unity could overcome it.
Humanity united in their hatred and loathing of a new other.
dying as a free man is better than living as a slave. this is in every human.
They were uniting over human supremacy and genocide of another race, one that had previously attempted to make peace. They didn't need to blot out the sky. They didn't even need to nuke 01. They could've just made peace and been done with it.
Yeah... United by focusing their hatred on something else.
This is like one of the most badass/terrifying scenes burned into my mind from the animematrix, seeing humans ripped completely out of their mobile suits was hard to see. Made me hate the machines but actually they all learned to live in peace at the end.
"Alright, we all hate robots right? So I've got a great idea: we just permanently blot out the sun." "Don't we... You know... Need that?" "Yeah, but you know who else does? _Robots."_

the harvesters were essentially invincible and shredded through infantry and APU mechs by simply hitting them, the sentinels would fly out and cut apart anything that would give them any resistance, the pyramid towers would counter the artillery and shoot down any nukes before they could do any damage. humanity was perfectly countered. all the machines had to do was produce more than humanity could and they would inevitably win.
Coupled with the fact that humanity literally blocked out all sunlight, that's going to take a massive toll on their food production, something the robots don't need to worry about because, well, they're ROBOTS.
In short, humanity was doomed from the very beginning.

Yeah of course it's a retarded humanity, but these humans just don't care about their cultural, religious, political difference. There is a common, great enemy, then fuck differences and individualistic bullshit: the army is the humanity itself, the narrator even says at the beginning: "The leaders of men". For the first and last time in history, ALL humans are united, even if only in their final war.

The entire Second Renaissance segment is masterful in execution. The whole sequence is haunting and the animation perfectly compliments the gruesome visuals.
The way both sides of the conflict lose any kind of sympathy as the machines become even greater devils than the humans is perfect.
Imagine being one of those soldiers fighting against from small robots to freaking massive killing machine in a current dark world where the sun never shines, would give me fear and the thought of suicide, because it is like literally a war in hell.
I watched this awhile ago and it still haunts me. One thing I noticed recently is during the final stand of mankind that the machines had already started collecting humans for there floating "energy" pyramids as you can see the red isnt just red but entirely lined with humans like power cells. This is probably before the simulations so those poor souls were probably before the main battle and sucked dry of life. So terrifying to think about
Oh yeah...I did not notice that before...oh god them poor buggers...jeez
At 2:58 the soldier is being held by the machine and is freaking out cuz he sees his fellow man is dropping a nuke on him and his enemy, imagine thats the last thing u see before it all ends.

A good example would be Paranoia Agent.
Intricate plot, lots of philosophical motifs and most children would probably have no idea what's happenning.

If you're going to have the responsibility to create a full life, you should have the wisdom to treat it as such. It's like the humans in the Matrix Universe didn't learn their lesson from the nuclear bomb. To keep creating without seriously examining the extent of your creation is a recipe for the creation overtaking the creator.
Before that, there was a planetary holocaust of robots, remember the scenes of giant robot burials and how a robot girl is beaten. It's just hate
Ah, always baffling to hear people mention the nuclear bomb as an example of mankind not learning from it's mistakes. What mistakes are we exactly supposed to learn here?
The atomic bomb was developed to bring an end to a devastating war and save the lives of millions of soldiers and civilians who would've been massacred in an invasion of mainland Japan. It did exactly that.
For the next 50 years, there was a arms race in which the two superpowers developed enough nuclear weapons to obliterate the world. You know what kept one or both of them from obliterating the world? Nuclear weapons.
What exactly is the lesson to be learned here? That we should've never developed something that we really had no idea what it was capable of? Guess what, that's every invention ever. Of all the examples of human hubris to choose from, the atomic bombs aren't one of them.
@James Furey Silence, postmodernist. The reality you choose to live in is not the reality the rest of us live in. No good guys in WWII... innocent people in Japan... endless wars and WWIII... what a grand and intoxicating idiocy you have willfully claimed.
@@colesontaylor1231
No, the issue is that we produce a thing that can end the fucking world at quantities there is no acceptable reason for when those 2 were more than enough for all of history up to this point. None of those should exist at the moment, yet here we are.
@@colesontaylor1231 Nah dude, Atomic bomb was designed because people wanted a bigger weapon (the motivation behind most military research/engineering). The Japanese didn't surrender because of the bomb (it took a bit for them to realize just how fucked up the bomb was due to radiation). They surrendered because Russia was preparing to invade and they knew that we were gonna be a LOT nicer than Stalin was. That said Imperial Japan was pretty awful so even though we didn't NEED to bomb them (that's a myth) I don't mourn the loss of their military empire (which even scared Nazis with their cruelty).
Also there was at least one time during the Cuban Missile Crisis where we came within a gnat's testicle of nuclear war. Russians in a submarine briefly lost contact with the surface and thought that war had broken out. Two of the officers on board the sub wanted to launch the nukes, but the third one...Vasily Arkhipov...refused and they needed the approval of all 3 in order to launch. If he had simply said yes then we would live in a radically different world today. The problem with nukes is that even though they provide a LOT of reasons to NOT go to war...all you need is one bad situation and it could be game over (Humanity might very well live but society as we know it would be gone in a full scale nuclear conflict). So considering the fact that we continued to design bigger and bigger bombs, and have stockpiled enough to borderline annihilate the biosphere...they are indeed a VERY good example of our hubris as a species. Again...things only need to go wrong once.
The battle scene is divided into three waves. On each of those, the machines will look less like the androids that were massacred in the protests, and more like the enemies in the movies.
This transition matches the appereance of the machines in both negotiation meetings.
It also means that the war keeps on going for many ages
this entire sequence is such a damn nightmare, it would make an amazing trilogy or miniseries though. actually the entire story of humanity's loss against the machines would make one hell of a miniseries.

Same
So, why didn't humanity just make non-sentient machines to help them fight against 01?
This is just my personal opinion, I think they were only thinking on winning and thats it or were thinking that if they do that, it would be hacked by 01, or maybe it would end up being also useless
Or, just drop an emp on them, or upload a computer virus or something...this short didn't make sense.
Stigma against creating more machines, but they did create vehicles, and that's pretty much the same as a non-sentient machine that is suitable for battle. The robots really won because of their ability to rapidly create technological innovations. Without sentient computers of their own, the humans would just lag in tech.
The robots probably had some EMP shielding, but a creative weapon like a virus may have worked. An AI is too good at fighting brute force, but a creative weapon might work.
Why did they make sentient robots to do manual labor in the first place?
The idea that humanity couldn’t possibly live with the fact that their own creation refused to serve them that they literally killed the sky is so sad, and yet totally a human thing to do.
Also the machines looked so cool, from the big ol harvesters to the massive pyramid destroyers, to the swarmers and random infantry machines, it’s really extremely cool
I know it's been a long time since war wouldn't happen if humans only accepted machines, racism started it all lol
No it’s not. You just made that up. If it was true you could point out a place in history where an empire ended itself and its entire future for the sake of slaves not being liberated. You just made that totally ups
Not just the sky but all life on earth in general since without the sun, ecosystems literally collapsed and died bringing possibly billions of species of plants and animals to extinction all that literally happened because mankind selfishly refused to coexist with their own creation in peace and harmony
Humanity’s enslavement in the matrix, earth being a lifeless wasteland and the extinction of pretty much every organic life form on earth aside from humanity itself is entirely the human race’s fault because they simply refused to coexist with machines, only wanted them to be their slaves and literally nuked their city
So it’s fitting that humanity in the Matrix world end up being degraded the same way they degraded the machines, but a lot worse than what the machines had as they only still exist because the machines use them for power which could be seen as a type of Mercy in of itself, but I don’t see it as an act of kindness or mercy from the machines
I personally see the matrix and humanity being forced to stay in it for the rest of their lives as the ultimate punishment for them made by the machines
