Apart from status quo being a cruel bitch and deflating the last few minutes of the story like a cheap party balloon, this movie is actually pretty fucking awesome. Great movie if you're looking for something that's wildly over-the-top and just full of crazy, animesque spectacle.
While there are a couple of weaker shorts in the bunch (I'm not much a fan of "Matriculated" or "Final Flight of the Osiris"), the package is a strong one that effectively expands upon the themes and setting set forth in the Wachowskis' original Matrix films. Tons of creative and appealing visuals at play, and a lot of room is given to the filmmakers to more or less do what they want with the source material. It's a very impressive anthology.
Definitely a product of the era, but Project A-ko is a fun romp full of parodies and references to 70s and 80s Otaku culture.
