MATRIX:10TH ANNIVERSARY – Blu-Ray MovieBy following up their debut thriller Bound with the 1999 box-office smash The Matrix, the codirecting Wachowski brothers–Andy and Larry–annihilated any suggestion of a sophomore jinx, crafting one of the most exhilarating sci-fi/action movies of the 1990s. Set in the not too distant future in an insipid, characterless city, we find a young man named Neo (Keanu Reeves). A software techie by day and a computer hacker by night, he sits alone at home by his m

Movie’s Great…This Package, Not So,
The Matrix is an excellent movie that combines science fiction, shoot-em-up action, and philosophical questions about the nature of Reality. If you are plugged in to a computer, and that computer presents you with a reality that is completely indistinguishable from your own, is it any less real?
This movie has exceptional special effects, beautiful cinematography, an excellent soundtrack, well-crafted dialogue, and respectable acting. Keanu Reeves may be a lousy actor, but I think that the Matrix is probably his best performance to date.
The Platinum Limited Edition isn’t really worth the extra money unless you’re an absolute, die-hard, take the red pill, freak. I wish I had known that before ordering this product. It comes in a box about as thick as an encyclopedia, and is fairly large, so it won’t fit on the shelf with the rest of your DVDs. Opening it up, I was rather disappointed — most of the volume is filled with a cheap plastic tray that contains a celluloid clip of the film with a blown-up photo (decent, but nothing fantastic), a few postcard-sized stills from the movie, and a copy of the normal DVD in a normal case. Nothing fantastic. For this money, I was expecting a DVD with DTS sound, alternate angles, deleted scenes, etc., but just got the same old Matrix disc. A major drag.
Do yourself a favor. Buy the basic copy.

|Blu-Ray Transfer Is Fantastic!,
With over 2,000 reviews, there is no sense discussing the movie so I will just address this to readers wondering if the Blu-Ray transfer is as good as they, perhaps, have heard.
Yes, it is – it’s incredble. I am not a particular fan of the film, especially the sequels, so I say these remarks with no bias. I just rented this first “Matrix” to see how it looked. Well, it Blu (pun intended) me away!! At this point, I’ve seen around 50 Blu-Ray DVDs and this is as good as it gets. I can’t imagine how you could make it any better. It’s so sharp, I just sat there mesmerized by it. The sound also is outstanding….another upgrade. I’ve seen this movie three times now and I swear I heard a lot of background talk and stuff I never heard before.
So….if you read that the audio and visuals are 5-star caliber – believe it; it’s true.
