The story of this Animatrix short was not bad, though I didn't fully understand it. The main character became an absolute annoyance though in the Matrix sequels. I found the drawing style in this short also a bit nervous. Or is that just me? I loved the music though :D.

Meh.

A high school kid evades The Agents on his skateboard. YEAH RIGHT

Decently fills out the backstory of Kid from The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions... for all four of you out there who care about Kid, that is.

It hurts me to write considering how much I worship Watanabe, but this was plain awful. It just felt so damn pretentious, despite having the most silly and straightforward plot imaginable. I wasn't a fan of the presentation either, and the skateboard action scene was shockingly poor. (The music choice didn't help matters) Overall, it's just a completely worthless short, which sadly, is not the only such entry in "The Animatrix".

Interesting animation style, but story and especially dialogs are very poor.

Average. Not bad, but far from great.

The idea is good, but it could have been so much better. Plus, the cameo of the teenager in - what sequel was it? Does anybody care? - is really, really, annoying.

Did the Animatrix really need to be broken up into all ten(?) segments?

Nothing special.

It was alright, nothing special. I was quite disappointed how this kid turned out to be nothing more than an annoying side kick in the sequels. After all he releases himself which even Neo couldn't do so it's like some sort of build up to nothing. Well, apparently he ended up being important in The Matrix MMORPG but hahaha Sony Online Entertainment maintains that so let's just forget I mentioned it.
