Armitage Homemade Picture Armitage The Third- Poly-Matrix "The Movie" that is set in the year is 2179 on Mars which has been colonized by Earth. Mars is populated by humans and "Second Type" robots. The seconds were designed to do the dirty work humans don't want to do, besides the seconds there is also a "Third Type" of robot. The thirds are completely illegal because they look and behave exactly like humans, can't be distinguished from them. Until now they lived among the Martians undetected, but a man named Rene D'anclaude vows to go after and kill all the "Thirds" on Mars.

Rene D'anclaude actions get the MPD (Martian Police Department) involved in tying to stop him. Being a Third herself, Officer Naomi Armitage has a presonal agenda against Rene and is fighting for her survial. Her partner is Detective Ross Sylibus who was recently transfered from Earth after recently loosing his partner to a cybernetic killer, hates robots. They must track him down while trying to figure out the secret of Armitage's mysterious past and what will become of her in the future.

Armitage's Box Getting badly injured while fighting Rene, Ross needs to get cybernetic limb replacements over 50% of his body. Now he must come face to face with his prejudice and overcome his hatred for robots, especially that he now knows Armitage is a Third by realizing that being human is not just flesh and blood. He desides to help her fight Rene to discover the secrets about her past even if it means becomming an outcast himself.

Armitage The Third- Poly-Matrix "The Movie" is a brought to us but the people at Pioneer, which was originally a four part series, now condenced into movie form. The voices of the two main characters are very good Naomi Armitage's voice is "Elizabeth Berkley," and Ross Sylibus's voice is "Kiefer Sutherland." The animation is good and well drawn with everything about it being well designed. The plot is very good which creates you to want to see more, when I finished watching this I wanted to see more, the same was true the second time and so on. I hope they do a sequel because I want more, badly. The music was really good and creates the mood through out the movie, and yes from what I understand Pioneer did release a soundtrack. Well I guess you can tell I like this movie a lot I highly recommend you buy or rent Armitage The Third as soon as possible, If you can't find it for rent and have $15.00 to spare buy it, you won't be disapointed.
