"Final Flight of the Osiris" takes place just before the events of The Matrix Reloaded, it primarily focuses on the stylized simulated fight between Jue and Thadeus. The Animatrix: Final Flight of the Osiris "The Kid” featured in this gritty animated story is a character seen in the second installment of the film trilogy - a young boy who breaks out of the Matrix and saves himself by sheer willpower alone, self-actualizing as no one has before him - and his story takes place within the six-month gap of time between the events of The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded.

However, seeing as the Matrix has already gone through six cycles, the real year the movie is set could be far more distant than that. The Matrix is the 1999 film that introduces audiences to Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus, as they fight machines of the real world and agents of the Matrix, somewhere around the (estimated) year 2199 according to the human rebels. And, although a couple of The Animatrix stories take place before the events of the first Matrix film, we suggest watching The Matrix before diving into The Animatrix in order to fully understand and appreciate the short stories. While the collection of animated short films are housed within the anthology, the individual shorts take place at various points along the Matrix timeline. With four of the nine shorts written by the Wachowskis themselves, The Animatrix is considered Matrix canon. The franchise also includes an anthology of animated short films released in the middle of the trilogy, titled The Animatrix (June 2003). The Matrix was followed by two more feature films, The Matrix Reloaded (May 2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (November 2003), and then after a 20-year break, Lana Wachowski returned to the franchise to create The Matrix Resurrections(December 2021). The Wachowski Sisters introduced the now well-known redpill/bluepill metaphor for interpreting the world and asked viewers to consider the similarities of our own reality to that of a computer simulation.

Aside from looking cool, they were also working to free humanity from the grips of a machine-controlled Matrix.

The Matrix hit theaters in 1999 and dazzled audiences with a leather-clad and gravity-defying Keanu Reeves, as he, along with Carrie-Anne Moss and Laurence Fishburne, fought against artificial agents of a programmed reality with their stylized kung-fu and black leather outfits.
