I just watched The Animatrix a little while ago (after trying to download it unsuccessfully for most of the day). I won't say I thought it was awesome, but I think it was very good. I was especially impressed about the creative way in which the machines took over. (spoilers -->) They didn't just go slaughtering all of humanity in a big war (a la Terminator). They actually created their own society in the middle of the desert (where humans can't live), and actually competed economically!
The machine's society started prevailing economically, to the point where there was conflict between man and machine. The machines even wanted to join the United Nations, but were denied. That was about where the first movie ended. I'm looking forward to the second one.
What's a little strange is I don't remember hearing about this at all before seeing the post on Slashdot today.
