Hello jorgekem,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Community. I know how exciting the new features for iOS can be and I'd like to help you get them working as expected. You were off to a good start with turning off the Reduce Motion option. Our next step would be to Sign out of Messages entirely and then restart and sign back in.
You can sign out by going to Setting > Messages, then tap on your Apple ID and select "Sign Out". Next press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and then slide to power down. Once you restart your iPhone you can sign back into Messages in the same spot and test again.
Let the community know if you have any further trouble. We're all here to help.
Best Regards.
