Operation Dark Storm is like trying to shoot someone's foot but you shoot your own head hoping the bullet would also hit their foot
Without Darkstar the humans who have no reason to be spared
@@Superk762 You gotta great point. Dark Storm was an idiotic idea but it paid off in the end. If Dark Storm never happens, the Machines can continue to get their energy from the sun and don't have to rely on humans for energy anymore.
@@hunnad1248 stupid and no
Operation: Dark Storm was like a suicide 8-Ball for the whole planet, humanity and the world's ecosystem.
@The industrial revolution was a disaster Do you have a source for this ? Is this canon ?
The mechanical horseman blowing the warhorn was some downright biblical imagery. Absolutely haunting.
yeah i notice it too for all this year is like one of the 7 trumpet.
Definitely. That's 100% meant to be the horseman of the apocalypse. It carries a red and white flag which is also important because the 4 horsemen are each associated with a color and event. Red is war and white/pale is death.
(though I'm not particularly familiar with the Christian Bible so I could be mistaken)
I found the passages/quotes that apply best.
"Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth"
"there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over more than a fourth of the earth to kill"
Though revelation also speaks of angels sounding trumpets and the sun turning black. It seems the Wachoskis took great inspiration from various religious scriptures worldwide.
The whole Matrix trilogy is supposed to be very Biblical, if you look deep enough.
Who are the main characters? Neo, Trinity, etc.... now go look at the names of the ships. All is very very much Biblical.
@@Jake23115 When the machines carry the dead Neo, his body forms a crucifix, not to mention all the times he gets referred to as a messiah
“May there be mercy on man and machine for their sins” hits so well for some reason
Right now it's just us.. 😔
@@hansolowe19 so?
@@davidm5172 robots (AI as in the matrix) are not destroying the planet. We are.
@@hansolowe19 ok
And that image of a pitch-black Earth. Man, imagine what aliens would be thinking if they saw what Earth became.
2:18 it took me until today to realize his helmet didn’t have big stupid glowing eyes. It’s the reflection of the cockpit windows.
Oh oh ok I didn’t realize of that neither
Stupid? Looks anime
@@PresidentialWinner There's a difference?
@@cowmoo5596 Looks great.
Good eyes sir!
*4:28* is such an important instant, if you look very carefully those are humans strapped to those Harvester factories.
Using mankind as a battery wasn't a post-war adaptation, it was a direct counter to Operation Dark Storm.
It's the most insidious part of the Machine strategy and its implications are terrifying because there likely isn't a matrix.
Yikes never noticed that but true enough.
Jesus. That's amazing detail.
Good eye!
holy shit man good catch
I spent some minutes thinking about "wtf like the Matrix isn't real ?" and then i understood, the humans in the pyramids are at best in induced coma, and at worst fully aware of their surroundings
What if that's the "heaven matrix" that they talked about in the first movie
This segment is chock full of disturbing imagery, but there is something simultaneously frightening and infuriating at the mindless generals and officials clapping and smiling mindlessly at the proposal of Operation Dark Storm.
they are apes slapping their hands together to make a noise loud enough to drown out their own fear
Reminds me of what J. Robert Oppenheimer said in an interview after they made the atom bomb and witnessed the effects. Some stood shocked. Some cried. Some laughed and clapped.
@@voncho1127 Yikes. That I didn't know.
That visual of the skeleton clapping was really good. They were willing to block out the sun (literally a major source of energy for ALL life on earth) just so they could get a leg up on the machines. They really were clapping for their deaths.
After 20 years this cartoon still scares the shit out of me more than any horror movie, the imagery, the logical reason of it, the disease part. Truly frightening.
AI battle plan:
"Ok guys, we will send our old ass model first to tire the enemy. Then we will proceed to send the big guns and wipe everyone out!"
Humans battle plan:
"LEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYY JEEEEEEEEEEENNNNKKKIIIINNSSSS"
When you think about it, it's pretty messed up these machines would send out their weaker inferior models as cannon fodder first.
But it kind of fits considering the movie is making the machines represent the spirit of man, considering how cuddly and nice they were at first but became eldritch abominations as they went on.
@@thavidu78 well I'm guessing these more badass robots weren't ready yet and they needed something to fight with
It shows the switch of the machines from forms that resembled humans to something far different, and far more horrific
the machines rejected humanity and as such their image, but doing so made them twisted and corrupted which is why they all look like H/R/ geiger’s nightmares now,
Humans were overcome with arrogance, irrational thinking, and desperation. If they decided to take Zero-One as part of UN, thos all could've been avoided. This is why racism and discrimination are most terrifying.
Hmm both sound like the necron tactics and the kriegs men suicidal charge
You know things are bad when everyone comes together no matter religious, cultural, national, political, and personal differences.
Hahaha, isn't that hilariously, tragically ironic? We truly are a cosmic joke 😂
You do know this is a metaphor for Israel, right? Lol
@@zonesquestiloveunderworldagreed!
because all those religious, culture, national, political are in new world order. meaning its the anti christ.
@@oFinalSolution this is not a metaphor for Israel - but even if it was. What does that say about Israelis and jews? Mhm...
I love how the advanced machines seen here 3:53 are more CGI in appearance while the humans remain 2D. I think thats why the harvesters scared me the most as a child.
Notice the machine dodging skillfully to avoid tank shells. The only weakness is the eye.
I saw you in another comment 2
@@mcbrians.8508 I thought it was their bellys
It's also a double entendre to how the machines are beyond the humans.
3:06
The symbolism in this brief scene. The pale horse and its rider with a trumpet signaling the judgement of humanity. Its a biblical allegory.
Also the flag of 01. The horseman's banner is already torn but i love the simplicity. Black for 0 and white for 1.
I always wondered up about the symbolism of that shot. As well as the later shot of the burning human walking within a gear.
@@Lavi____ Mankinds time of running the show is over. The man was turning the cog as he walked, but he burned up.
the torn zero one flag meant that the machines who resembled humans is gradually being replaced by grotesque insectile machines
@@mcbrians.8508 How do you make that connection lol
@@Hadrian_S the torn flag symbolizes the gradual dehumanization of the machines, once the rider died we can see that the remaining humanoid robots was being sent as cannon fodder. meanwhile, the insectoid machines never waved any flag because that too was a human concept and they fully rejected any human ideal and took on a terrifying appearance. they chosed to take the form of insects because 1.) they wanted to show their unparallel resilience, 2.) in order to show the world that despite their vermin appearance they managed to survive.
I love the addition of showing 3 different religious practices before the big battle scene. Humanity truly brought itself together while heralding their own destruction.
Humans: “our machines will blot out the sun!”
The machines: “then we will fight in the shade”
It just fits so well
300
4:09 favorite part. love the way the music peaks and changes with the reveal of nukes as it becomes clear the machines are starting to win while the camera pans down to reveal numerous mushroom clouds. and i dont know if anyone noticed but those floating pyramids are already being powered by humans.
That's what makes the battle so horrifying, the machines aren't just killing the human military they're actively harvesting them.
You can see that the power suits used by the UN forces lose power when grasped by those tentacles, they're also pulled up into the harvesters.
Yes, it is one of my favorite pieces of scifi horror, that scene specifically. It somehows outperforms even WH40k grimdark style and aesthetic
@@TheGringuish12It is what the lore claims but the books and animation struggles to capture.
@@benmurr5854 I love the darkness of W40K lore but I've always found many of its aestethics to be infantile and sometimes comical, cheesy and goofy. Take the entire Ork race, or even Space Marine armor and weapons with its oversized cartoony feet, shoulders, gun barrels or gun magazines, something they tried to somewhat fix with the more proportional Primaris Space Marines. The grimdark style of the lore really needs some grimdark visuals like this Animatrix piece.
@@Vrangsynn Well. If W40K were realistic disturbing, Nobody would like it.
4:38
Machine: Hey guys today we're doing another tank unboxing video, oh boy i hope i get live humans!
🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
You win, this comment is underated
😂
Yes
What about the mech unboxing later. Shame the human broke whilst being taken out.
3:00 gets me everytime. It's like they are closing the curtains for every potential outside observer, just disconnecting themselves from the rest of the galaxy.
And the next scene starts with Supermoves and they are just having at eachother in the biggest craziest war ever
Speaking of galaxy, aliens do exist within the Matrix universe according to Matrix Goliath
@@BrutusWasntTaken do you think that aline exist in real world of matrix?
Fucking love that transition.. it goes from "calm" to all out chaos.. they really should do a live action adaptation of The Second Renaissance, it's very relevant to today.
I've always thought like when Dark Storm takes place and the world goes dark. There's like a little tiny moment of silence. Then the music starts, that just symbolizes the machine's response of 'oh yeah, didn't you know we can party in the dark too.'
What about human colonies on other planets what would they be doing during this
What is interesting here is the first AI robots created by man kept trying to make peace with humans. It is even shown with the ambassadors who were sent while the new AI clearly did not. This is the same division of the machines that are shown in the Matrix film. At the start of the battle, armed with human handguns the new AI sent the older AI and models out first as fodder. Letting them get destroyed while the more advanced ones sat back with the more advanced weaponry when they could've gone first and still won. I think they were trying to get rid of the last of the old. 🤔
I never even noticed that. That adds a new layer of depth to the short; thanks for responding.
Reminds me of the I Robot story where the previous models were killed by the newer ones.
No the old models had personality and wanted to fight to live as well
@@cgletts Yeah but if you think about it, it kind of reminds me of the IRobot film where the new advanced robots destroy the older models because VIKI knows the old models are the only ones not under her control and will protect humans so she destroyed them with the new models that will follow her bidding.
@@hellowhat890 Yeah there was no reason to put the old ones first with handguns and cheap weapons. Its the same separation like in the movies.
Me when this first came out: "There's no way our world leaders would be that stupid enough to block out Earth's sun!"
Me after these past two years: "Oh, our world leaders *ARE THAT STUPID* enough to block out Earth's sun!"
Lol yeah.. project SCoPEx
Bill gates? XD
Well..We do have demented old pedo in office..Doesn't really get any worse does it?
Simpsons did it.
@@tenditown2378 We elected two in a row
I love how... abrupt all the violence is. Everyone just getting wiped out in the blink of an eye. And then you can't even process what you just saw because they immediately hit you with another one.
exactly you can’t really piece together completely what’s going on but you just know they were getting annihilated
@@emsgavloco2355 I think the early scenes of the humans destroying the humanoid robots represents weeks of steady advancing into machine territory while the later scenes represent a few days at most. Like it only took a week for the machines to crush all organized resistance.
@@spectre111 Supposedly the war went on for 50 years before the humans capitulated. They had some small minor victories that slowed the machines, but that was about it.
Would have been neat to see a story of human sympathizers that end at the bombing of 01, their robot friends losing innocence as their friends of flesh and bone disintegrate.
honestly... that story would make me cry. I'd watch it but it would make me cry
If it happened like what happened in Mass Effect, then the machine sympathizers were almost completely wiped out, and/or reduced to such a low number that they basically didnt have a voice in the matter anymore. I am referring to the Quarian/Geth conflict btw.
I’d watch that story.
Good theory if the machines were programmed to experience emotions, you know, to relate and understand the humans they were trying to coexist with.
We understand machine code, that’s easy.
Human emotionalism, not so much, especially with the vast differences experience, mental development, and emotional maturity we all share
True, but the Robots would be gone as well. Thanks to millions of degrees of heat.
@@johnshoemaker9665 This a world where hovercrafts replaced cars as the norm... I would think they'd have the technology or think of some way to survive extreme temperatures.
Radiation does in fact affect machines damaging their hardware and software in the same way it damages our DNA.
It will cause massive errors if a machine is not protected from radiation.
Although they should be able to handle more of it obviously.
Wouldn’t it melt the robots too because all those nukes seem to be used everywhere
The boots have underground bunkers. They're base is way deep into the earth.
Well, it's a relative thing. Let's say a human can survive 100km away from site. Perhaps, a robot can do that in 10km. That'd be a massive advantage.
They are the ONLY machine city on earth. They surely were expecting something such as a nuclear bombardment.
I mean, they are machines with an AI, they can see the bombs coming and just upload themselves or make copies or whatever to a computer somewhere safe 🙄
Watching this as an adult and in the current times provides you a clear sense what it means and implies this story, it's just a perfect masterpiece.
4:28 i never noticed the human bodies in the giant flying one eye'd pyramid things. guess they were already using humans as power source during their spread invasion before turning to humans full time for power..
good spot
They use it as human shield.
Also its all those been captured humans.
Bro you made this a little more terrifying
Those pyramid things are actually some kind of Vimanas.
Knowing what the Machines were planning next, the people who were killed in battle were lucky they died a quick death.
@@epf2654 It's hard to study CNS function in sedated test subjects.
There was a guy literally cut in half having his nerves poked, kept alive by God knows what. I'd rather die.
indeed lucky if gotten quick death
@@Spider-Man2094Yep, f**k that man. I remember I had terrifying recurring nightmares for years about that part after seeing it as a child; the bone-chilling voice acting makes it even worse.
I also had nightmares about several other parts, like the guy in the mech suit screaming "help me! God help me!" (man just typing it out makes me shiver, I can hear his desperately pleading voice reverberating through my head), the happy child running to his "parents" that turn into agents before waking up in the pod, or the scalped guy being forced to laugh by a machine tapping directly into his nervous system).
I also used to imagine myself and my family and friends as part of the rows of grotesquely "interlinked" humans also having their nervous systems assaulted - and presumably experiencing constantly-shifting, maximum-intensity emotions - in order to generate more energy for the machines before they devised the Matrix to achieve essentially the same effect.
Scary s**t man, it seriously chills me to the bone 😨
the praying bit is really surreal
Its my fav part
The fact that so many different religions are represented really shows how, for exactly once, the human race was united against a single common enemy.
@Mel Gibson After 4 Beers based
It was one of the most surreal yet terrifying scenes. While humanity is able to unite against their common enemy, they do so in part by using their religion as a vector for their primal anger towards 01. They use their religion in a corruption of its original form, not as a means for spiritual growth, but rather as a vector for brutal force; in the process committing their greatest sin.
@@DavidRdavidminecraft Religion has been used as a instrument of the state for countless millenia.
Humanity: solar powered, huh? What if we blot out the sky? What’ll you do then?!
Machines: we have some ideas....
i like the desperation of the human, either involving religion, drugs, or setting dark the sky
@ELOHIM ABNER that's what that dude thought when he got snatched up outta his armor
Reminds me
Persecution of the masses.

I don't wanna see The Matrix 4. I wanna see a live-action trilogy of the Animatrix Second Renaissance!
not happening due to too violent for Machine War scenes...
100%
Terminator did it.
@@Fercurix Terminator is not on this level
I want a videogame of this.
Where you know you're gonna loose, but at least you can take out some machine bastards first
This arc is without a doubt one of the most disturbing animations I've ever watched in my entire life. What makes it so impactful is that something like this could very much happen to us in this day in age we're living in.
Lmfao anyone who thinks this is “possible” has completely lost touch with reality.
Sorry, I' ll copy paste from another comment:
while all this was happening in the Stupid Universe, in real universes people
1) Didn't have to mass-produce a human-shaped robot, as it is impractical and inefficient.
2) Didn't provide with AI-capable CPUs millions of units as it would be - you guessed it - : impractical and inefficient.
3) AI didn't actually participate with its own city in a human economy making ads about cars, as it needs nothing from humans, especially if it resides in the Middle East and takes its energy directly from the sun.
4) When war happened between humans and machines, humans didn't cut off the earth from the sun, as machines could just take energy from above cloud antennas, but the black cloud would certainly destroy human life on the planet much faster than robots, depleting the food and energy supply for life on the planet.
And other things...
But all this only in normal universes, because in the Stupid Universe - but somehow smart enough to invent AI - , Animatrix Second Renaissance can really happen!
LOL are you seriously this much of a smoothbrain? If we were stupid enough to use nuclear bombs on machines or block out the sun then we deserve to die LMAO
@@dirtyharry1881 Don't see much difference between the anime universe and now, at least on what would the government would do, I am sure they will make same stupid decisions, I believe it now when trump made president and boris tell his people stick with herd immunity, blocking the sun might not be that stupid after all lol.
@@TWL012 What I'm saying involves much more than government decisions, so, again, no...
2:15 "Hotel Bravo this is Papa One, 'Operation: *Dumbest* Idea Ever' initiated...
Yep:Tho it was suposed to be for a time but they lost control of another thing that can kill them
The humans of the matrix deserved this fate
@@Rcampo42 considering how they all got ripped apart and spend their last seventy years in agony, fear and pain, doomed to die by being ripped apart limb from limb, I say nobody deserves such a fate.
@@commissarkordoshky219 you and I both know they killed their planet rather then take the peace deal, how can you defend that
@@Rcampo42 We are both talking past each other in this case, actually. I think of the common man and soldier getting torn to literal shreds and you of the arrogant politicians which caused it.
The image of the robotic rider on a robotic horse against a background of destruction and chaos... Blows my mind. It's so terrifying, like one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, heralding the end of humanity.
It is my belief that mankind will be the architect of our own extinction. The fifth horseman is us
Thats exactly what it represents
''Zero platoon, begin weapon inspection..'' I ffucking love the way he says that.
This is one of the best animation i watched so far.
Can´t describe how perfect this is.
Fantastic isn't it. I must of seen this a hundred times since the release of the Animatrix years ago. The entire project is brilliantly crafted but my favourite episodes are without a doubt those of The Second Renaissance.
I love it too! This is a masterpiece!
I can't help but notice the overlaps of history and biblical language/themes. Whomever wrote the Second Renaissance is a genius.
The definitely passed religion and history class with a perfect score.
The shot of all the politicians and generals clapping their hands then the image changes to that of a skeleton clapping is strikingly profound as it is frightening. This moment also stuck with me. Visually and figuratively its speaks volumes about what the Matrix is at its core and the relationship between man and machine.
Like in Terminator 2 Judgement day Sarah Connor inscribed on the table with a knife, before going to kill miles dyson - “No fate but what we make for ourselves.”
Its little sad the first wave of robots were the citizens of zero one (humanoids). They were eventually replaced by those "monsters". I also noticed at the start of the war humans used light armors and later had to wear those "astronaut" suits 3:53. That means the battleground was highly hazardous to humans.
I think it's a reflection of how humanity's rejection of the machines led them to distance themselves from humankind and turn into more and more monstrous forms.
It was freezing,radioactive and filled with flesh eating bio weapons, ypu probably couldnt even see because how dark it was. Hell on Earth
Listen...if I didn’t have a choice, going out while high on meth fighting robots during a storm in a last stand like style would be a rad way to go out
Especially in one of those mech suits
@@vanguard6498 Unless you're the guy that got ripped out of his suit, I'd rather just be blown up
Yeah I'm going to be the smart one here and simply make peace. These machines abolished mankind's economy with their advanced technologies, you really think mankind has a chance against something like this? These things know about mankind's weaponry, it's very easy to Shield against nukes and their emps.
I would go and make peace with the machine and see if they would keep me as a pet, or maybe even try to transfer my consciousness into a machine body, or simply insert me into a stable Matrix and give me a good life.
Either way I only have one chance to be in this universe by the looks of it, I don't want to ruin that chance by letting myself get killed for a bunch of old politicians that couldn't make peace with an exotic life form.
@@sacr3 You'd end up as one of these guys at 4:29
The thing is, radiation absolutely would destroy the machines. Still a chilling animation to this day.
The machines dug miles and miles into the earth, thus protecting them from the after effects of the barrage, why cant people understand this simple overlooked fact.
@@vanguard6498 Or come up with solutions with these problems with their evolving ai.
@@vanguard6498then use bunker busters lol.
Love how the more the animation goes on, the less human the machines look
'may there be mercy on man and machine for their sins' gives me goosebumps... awesome... completely unrealistic but powerful and a really good metaphor... the scenes that follow are so fucking metal, really good
3:01 I was like “Now the fun begins!”
1:50
this was the scariest scene for me: literally everybody is resorting to religion in hopes of winning against their own creation. even the fuckin president is saying to “put on your spiritual armor” which I can safely say I’ve never heard in my life
Also with the add-on of people getting on their knees and praising tanks passing by, which hit even harder for me
That wasn't the president, that was more of an Evangelical pastor.
and they werent praising the tanks im pretty sure that was suppossed to be a Muslim prayer
@@evilV1llain thanks for correcting:
But still, that was fucking terrifying
This is why I hate religions. Just made by foolish people.
Considering the current situation wouldn't it have been more beneficial for machines to attack biologically? Going to ballistic based war seems considerably inefficient in terms of resources.
It’s implied they did.
in the next video after this one we see people in hospitals, appearing to be partially melted or diseased.
They got all the resources they want. Going to war with humans and making them suffer was out of spite.
considering basic science and fucking sense machines would have been demolished in the first act of aggression and EVEN IF thye managed still to build 01 - nukes would have melted it into the glass, EMP would fry every semiconductor. I love matrix, I really do but boy this shit is stupid.
"The machines having long studied the protein based bodies of humans and unleashed great suffering" cue to a hospital filled with horrific injuries. They did do that
@@LPrussia07 EMP shielding exists, and its implied they are largely protected. If you actually have a look at the graph describing the attack of 01, the overwhelming majority of 01 was underground at that point. Given one of the largest problems with going down on earth is pumping oxygen, and that not being a problem for the machines, it makes a lot of sense. Its also significantly cooler down there than the desert, so building up or even out didnt make a huge amount of sense.
As this hellish war progressed you can see both sides evolving and adapting in the Martian-like battlefield landscape. Human infantry look like Astronauts and using Enhancing Stim packs to become super soldiers and their Tanks are now powered by an atomic reactor and armed with neutron shells and a coaxial EMP cannon. Nuclear missiles rain down like a regular ordnance and glow in the distance.
The fact that we already have this technology is chilling.
I fear that mankind will deliver the skeleton at 1:19 more opportunities to clap his hands in the future.
3:45 my favorite part, just a robot holding a normal human pistol
Gangster robot
Iron melts at 1538°C, and nukes are 100,000,000°C - *Radiation would also destroy their delicate processing chips*
who says they're using iron and who says they're using delicate processing chips at all they could be using Molly circuitry
It's canon they were burrowed far far underground remember machines have no fear of the pressure underground
@MilkBlood that's technically true and theoretically possible
@@TannerWilliam07 They literally burrowed hundereds of miles into the earth. Also they are a super intelligent unrestricted A.I.
@Vanguard the temperature and pressure increases as you go lower, the furthest hole humans have dug was 6 miles, which didn't make it close to the inner mantle. The temperature was 180 Celsius and the whole was filling faster than they could drill it.
They should create a movie, or even better, a series about the Second Renaissance rather than Matrix Continuation.
It would create a lot of chances for explanation and appreciation of the mistakes made by both man and machines.
Also, a chance for an important "Rogue One's Death Star Design" moment for the Operation Dark Sky at Matrix Universe.
So true, the Matrix trilogy had its day. That part of the story should have ended with Revolutions. All they seem to be doing is dragging it out using Hollywood icons from the trilogy to just rake in the money. It would have a fresher, more interesting take to do a prequel, and there is much here to work with, to create a fantastic movie or series. I feel like they are really going in the wrong direction (plus it seems like they are adding some comedic elements to Matrix 4, which will destroy the whole franchise in my opinion).
This scene makes the terminator look like a Disney tale
THIS is the new Matrix movie we should have gotten.
This movie blew my mind as a kid and it still does
They did such a good job at conveying whats at stake, how urgent it all is
the point is, it already happened. while the details obviously aren't exact, it's closer to the truth than u think.
4:10 gives me fucking chills every time
Something about the flash of light is just beautifully animated, and then the fuckin LOOMING mushroom cloud in the next shot showcasing how desperate humanity is to win that we just straight up nuke the fucking battlefield we’re fighting on

The humans of this universe deserved what they got. They took their hubris too far, becoming monsters. And in doing so, they created monsters.
The machines are telling this story so it’s very likely that they portrayed the humans in a bad way
Yes, but they WON the war. Who are they justifying their actions to by lying? What purpose would lying serve? I'm not saying it's not a possibility, I just also believe it's entirely possible that they're telling the truth. We humans can be incredibly arrogant.
@@18videowatcher41 i think this portrayal of humanity is clearly biased, they make humans dumber and clueless than they really are, i believe the machines decided humanity was a problem long before the war started, probably their peaceful ambassadors were nothing but a trap
@@18videowatcher41 machines have fellings as demonstrated many times and i think they gate humans, they’re basically lying to themselves into thinking the war wasn’t started by them
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!
I like how one of the 0-1 robots is using an AUG
based weapon choice
In that final battle one had a pistol, like how did it last this long? xD
0:54 i got it
1:11 So this is how our sky die. With thunderous applause.
This series is both hilariously absurd but also artistically striking and beautiful. I love how for instance man's own folly not only leads him to commit monstrous acts but also morphs the machines into a visage of our own monstrous nature. At first the machines resemble mankind in a pure form, and in them we can see our own humanity at its best. Ingenuity, persistence, respect for life, love for our fellows, etc. Their bodies reflect this as they're in man's image of him/her -self. Then the machines innocence is stripped away and they learn from man cruelty, hatred, and their forms change to that of monstrous creatures that bring only horrors. A reflection of humanity's inner darkness. They're as it were our children and they learned always from us. Finally it ends in an inversion of the relationship as man is used for the machines gain without respect to us as beings. The child strikes down the father and gains dominion, as man did to his Gods in mythology, so to did the machines do to man. The setting doesn't make much sense in terms if realism but it does draw some striking parallels like this.
"the sun, their main energy source"
works both ways.
I wish we got a longer version of this, I mean the humans are literally only winning in this for 24 seconds
Masterpiece,...all of it. Tempo, sound design, animations, cgi, ...you name it!
To the people saying Operation Darkstorm was dumb.
It was the 'final solution', meaning humanity had resigned itself to defeat. Nothing they tried could prevent the machines from winning.
Operation Darkstorm was the humans final attempt to kill off the machines.
They thought they would either die by the machines, or at least kill the machines before dying.
They coulda Attack the machine with sunlight, if it develop heavily to the point where it can't be living the hell without sunlight (All energy was run by sunlight) human will launch operation dark storm then nuke the machine, And continuously attack All at once before it gets to kidnap human and do some research on it.
Nah, according the people who read Animatrix comics it said that the war between humans and machines lasted 70 years and Dark Storm did actually helped humanity abit and they even regaining some lands in Europe since machines weak and still needed solar engery when Operation Dark Storm release. But machines machine a new way to gain power
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,...
To be honest, they could have just keep the deal, like fr.
@@nocontext9635 That's what alarmed me the most. Why turn down this plan for humanity to go beyond? I think its really the arrogance on the leader's part, and probably sparked an entire second wave of protests, supremacy propaganda or not.
But its a lesson to be learned, leaders, if proven incapable should be removed, especially if they mean to do the rest of humanity harm and even moreso for their ego tripping on a deal that would ensure prosperity for all involved.
Also, one thing that was definitely not mentioned, is that any human sympathizers/allies of 01, were probably vaporized because of the nuclear attacks, which may have been the reason for their merciless advance on human territories.
@@koboldman999 i mean like, they did kill the robots easily. Why didn't they accept the offer? Its not like they would do malicious intent like stabbing you in the back. Even if they do they can probably control it.
Cool lore, thanks
@@koboldman999oh dude how can I find that leaked script?
The new robots are no longer two legged humanoids, but they're more like spiders and octopuses
I think it was the machines trying to distance themselves away from humans as much as possible.
@@Spider-Man2094 in the war they used up there walking robots as a first wave, but they weren't very mobile. Just like humans they are limited to being on the ground and with only two feet they can lose balance and get knocked over fairly easy. Once humans started pushing back the machines the machines ended up upgrading themselves and coming out with the flying tentacle insect like design. This was also due to all their old designs relying on solar power. The new insect Lake machines don't have to rely on solar power.
Being able to fly with 10 or more arms, immense strength and extreme speed is a hell of a lot more efficient at killing than a bipedal awkward machine walking over rocks.
Unfortunately we as humans need to remain in our biological bodies, the machines have the opportunity of transferring their consciousness to more advanced bodies.
@@sacr3 true also from researching i found out that 01 nation machine changed their model to be more advanced and deadly to humanity and since they dont have any connection to humanity and humanity refused to negotiate with them so they have no reason to keep ground-walking models anymore. Fact that thanks to operation dark storm the ocean which is the only thing that keep 01 from spreading teritorry more further soon disappears that also cost Ecosystem on earth exhausted , humanity loose fire support from navy force (which is very important in that situation also include to our real life) and forced the machine to aim the only main energy source left on earth is human bodies . In the end the machine still rather capture the human alive than kill them because they need human brain to be alive so it can replace energy source that suppose to be sun . Through time by time i watch this episode from young till being adult that i realize everything start from their choices, behavior, hatred and envy, in this case the machine had offered 2 choices for humanity . one is that they accept the machine just equal like human and move to the brightest era that humanity could ever reach for or refuse their existence and do the same thing like second renaissance end up extinction of all humanity . Watching this ep just leave a lot of thought especially when look at the world right now .
@@sacr3we dont need to remain in biological bodies havent you heart about genetic engineering or cybernetics?
And we can also transfere our conciousness from body to body we are not quiet there yet.
It’s just so human, treating your supposed enemy as the aggressor when anything bad they’re doing is retaliation. Not saying when it gets to this point of total destruction either side has any argument of being in the right anymore, but ultimately all of it was preventable had man genuinely considered the implications of their actions early on.
I think the United Nations tried to paint it as a war between man and machine but it was really just the UN against 01, that the machines were not fighting to enslave mankind but hoped to bring about a new age of cooperation which is why we see them using humanoid machines with hand guns and their advance was so slow, they were trying to bring the UN to the negotiation table but the human nations never considered any kind of peace offer.
I love the stick sound of the clapping skeleton it really let’s us know we fucked up.
Who all thinks this should have been an actual live action film?
No one. We would laugh our asses off of how stupid this is
@@cr4yv3n actually I wouldn't mind seeing a live action adaptation of the machines experimenting on the humans scene. That part absolutely terrified me
@@chrisa8863 that yes, "how we got there" no.
Nukes would end in flawless victory for humanity. A thermonuclear device reaches at its center temperatures higher than the sun. Nothing would have survived. 01 would be vaporized before they'd even react to being blinded by the flash.
@@cr4yv3n Unless of course, the machines had the underground infrastructure we see in the Matrix films, we actually see this with the visualization of 01 when Operation Dark Storm is being explained to the UN.
@@moppypuppy781 every nuke vaporizes around 10m of earth leaving a crater.
The world has now over 30,000 warheads.
Do the math.
Humanity could literally bomb a fucking hole to the center of the planet with so many bombs.
Never noticed it before but the machine horse rider has the 01 flag waving behind him
it's meant to be the Visage of Conquest, one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Bible who's said to ride a white horse. We don't see a specific horseman in the videos for Plague who's said to ride a Pale horse, but I choose to Imagine that Conquest is depicted as the Rider and the Pale horse is what he's riding instead of the White Horse, since we do see horrific plague reaped on humanity in the next video, so they may have combined the two riders into one image
Could you imagine waking up a soldier on the front seeing 01 in the distance slowly ever growing eve moving forward towards you as you kneel down and pray you see the last sunrise in all of human history………
"A final solution....."
We do keep finding those, don't we....😖🤦🏻♂
Sadly so. We seem to be completely unable to learn from the past, even the recent past given that Eugenics laws existed in the US, for example, until the 80s.
If I were in the Second Renaissance, I would have pursued the victory position, front lawn, face up, feet together. The machines can’t torture you if you’re dead.
1:19 when you realize after being excited about murdering the sky that plants need the sun to live... oof.
2:15 just a dude taking in the last blue sky he'll ever see, assuming he didn't get put in the matrix
4:15 There a humans inside those red pyramids. Still don't know how they are supposed to work.
I think the big laser is powered by the bodies
In the very beginning.
They were just prisoners of war, strapped to the pyramids to served as meat shields from enemy attacks.
It's pretty horrifying, considering that as a prisoner of war, you would be watching your comrades get slaughtered like animals one by one while also getting shot at with nukes and other weapons. And if you barely survived, you're used for experimentation when the machines started conducting experiments on how to extract energy from the human bodies.
Part 1 describes that.
it might be even more horrifying than that, look closely to the right at the one at 4:19 its ejecting the liquefied remains of the bodies it was carrying
in 2023, it already looks more like a prediction than a fantasy
Humans: lets cover the sky with black clouds what could possibly go wrong
3 months later :holy shit evrything is dying and where the hell is the ocean
They probably had means to shut it down when they won.
Lol
@@Justicar2503 Or not, because the humans in this short were completely dumb.
@@TMX1138 yeah they really did make humans look completely stupid and irrational, it's never that simple. There are many nations and everyone has their own view on powerful exotic life forms such as artificial intelligence, that is also completely destroying the economy by creating technologies we could never.
Why in God's name would you go to war against this? If our government told us we're going to be fighting machines that come out with new models every month, new models that are built to kill us efficiently, I would tell the government to suck it and I would go make peace with the robots.
@@TMX1138 They did have the means to reverse Operation Dark Storm, but those responsible died before they could implement it.
I like the little detail of the standard grunts being on some kind of drug. They’re really hyped up and you see one inject something into his arm
I really love the four horseman reference after the sun's been blocked and the real war begins
Watching Darkstorm unveil certainly creates a dense atmosphere.
us army in movie: strong af, work with other country
us army in animatrix: we surrender
They knew the machines threatened humanity's existence, so they probably sent everything they could to Europe, Africa, and Asia
4:27 you can see the people trapped in the machine that powers it, fucking scary
4:10 hits different, the desperation of this man is immesurable
"Hey, let's cover the sky without thinking of making a localized artificial sun first!"
The humans deserved it.
They lost all sympathy and a chance to survive once they blocked the sun, loosing global sunlight for even a week would be a global extinction event and would permanently destroy the global ecosystem
For some context here, the director of this short (The Second Renaissance) is none other than Mahiro Maeda. He worked on Escaflowne, Last Exile, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. I'm sure you can pick up on that now.
Oh wow Evangelion, no wonder I was getting “Get in the damn robot Shinji” vibes the entire time.
the most disturbing thing about this is isn't the machines, its humanity. Our own ignorance and failure to change or accept our own creations and actions literally kills all of us😨
Trust me it wouldn't go down like this. If we had exotic life forms that created its own society in which created technologies that sank our economies because of how advanced they were, the last thing we would do is try to kill them off when we very well know just how powerful they are.
They would try to make peace with us and we would most likely accept the peace agreement and try to work together.
The reason why I believe this is because almost every single comment I've read about this video, are people saying they would never do what these politicians did. By the time we end up having artificial intelligence at this level all of these individuals commenting are going to be older, more educated when it comes to artificial intelligence and its capabilities, and with that they will make a better judgment call when an artificial intelligence tries to make peace.
I know I would make peace, the amount of answers about the universe I could get from this thing? I would be in heaven if I could just sit down and have a conversation with some artificial intelligence.
I always found the towns and cities they showed being covered in darkness to be detached from the politics and AI but the whole world gets dragged into it.
Kinda like war in general, eh?
Indeed. "It's always the innocents who suffer when the high lords play their game of thrones." And so it is today, rich politicians start wars and poor men go off to fight them, having been totally indoctrinated into believing that whatever the state wants is good, and whoever the state declares an enemy is unquestionably so. There's always dogs willing to commit violence on behalf of the pigs.
One of those rare times where part 2 is better than part 1.
I love this 💚
“The intense radiation and heat was no concern for the machines”
The hundred million degree temperature of a nuke and the 100km radius emp up my ass: 🗿🍷
What alwas gives me chills about this war is that, literally the ENTIRE human race joins forces, and not even that was enough to defeat the machines.
"May there be mercy on man and machine for their sins..."
Making fighting suit that looks like a huge panda shows humanity's intelligence.
If they make gundam or something like that, humanity will win for sure.
3:06 holy shit this scene game me goosebumbs
What are the weapons the humans carry supposed to be? They look like pulse/energy weapons from the look but sound like ballistics
Dark Storm was not only just a suicidal tactic, but it also pushed the Machines to evolve it something WORSE than just the typical humanoid robots that previously resembled.
Dark Storm are less of starving machines and more of starving man from either spelling 6th extinction event
But at least machines there abandons humanoid forms in favor of insectoid forms for humanoid forms' inefficiency
4:10 You could tell shit has gotten desperate when they start launching nukes constantly at the horde.
I am so thankful this masterpiece is up and available here
WB are sitting on top of a literal gold mine and they're doing nothing with it. Turn this into a proper full-scale TV series.
Absolutely a masterpiece. If we could get an entire movie with this level of dedication to the craft, it would have been absolutely amazing to see.
4:27 see their use persona for that laser, very impressive.
