Old classic

I don't think I need to go into detail about the actual film itself which in my eyes changed the way many movies today are shot with the slow-mo bullet style action! The fastest selling movie when launched on DVD and followed suit on Blu-ray. Although the other two films are a little to be desired by many, who can turn down the chance to have one of the best action sci-fi, slow-mo, no holds-barred movies as a Steelbook Edition, and if the picture is anything to go by a well deserved edition to my Collection. Out goes my Blu-ray Box Set, hellloo The Matrix - Premium Collection Steelbook!

This version sadly has a green tint over it, which while it doesn't ruin the film, it's certainly obvious. I also expected their to be more options in the menus, maybe to turn this filter off; but that wasn't an option sadly. In short, great film, but not true to the first release.

This review is on how steelbook looks and sound and picture. The picture is sharp but holds some grain at times and is virtually the same as The Complete Matrix Trilogy [Blu-ray]. But the best thing is the audio its better than The Complete Matrix Trilogy [Blu-ray] [1999] which was only Dolby Digital, this is Dolby True HD and boy does it bring the film to life again. This is the definitive version to watch and listen to.

Is a spectacular film. I remember going to see The Matrix at the Cinema in 1999 when it was first released, and the Blu-Ray is as close to that experience as I've seen to date.. The quality of the transfer is exceptional.

La película llegó a tiempo y en buen estado. La película es genial, sus efectos especiales fueron un parteaguas para todas las futuras películas, las actuaciones son geniales, disfrute verla en audio latino como idioma original, viene con subtítulos, y la imagen es más nítida en 4k.

Lo cercavo da tanto tempo. Nonostante sia famosissimo,non è affatto facile da trovare in giro. Arrivato super- velocemente

The Matrix is a film classic, and it will continue to appreciate as we ascend into the technological advancements of today's world. It's incredibly odd watching this movie 20 years later now, and seeing how some of the assumptions about the internet, technology, and society were addressed here. All of that withheld, it's still a great piece of sci-fi action that has rarely been met with a competitor or similar style. A lot of the stylistic elements of The Matrix have been attempted in other films, but never used quite as successfully as it was here. Things such as "bullet time" have been overused since the release of this film, but exemplify the impact it had on movies and viewers. The Wachowskis are particularly interesting to watch in Special Features, especially now that they are both women. They don't seem to have any highly technical background or understanding of film, but are making the movie they want to see and being particular where they as a viewer think it would count. I think this movie was the beginning of Keanu's highly popular career arc from the late 90s to the mid-2000s. Where he seemingly died off and has now been resurrected again by John Wick. Laurence Fishbourne is great as Morpheus and plays the master to Neo perfectly. Carrie Anne-Moss, where is she?! She's outstanding in this film, but probably no one is better than Hugo Weaving, who with little to say or do than glance makes such an impact on the film, and ultimately the story of this universe. This all looks fantastic in 4K! This release is jam-packed with special features and FOUR audio commentaries, which I was incredibly excited to listen to. I can't say it shed any light on concepts or ideas that I haven't heard of before, but it's so interesting to hear intellectuals, philosophers, and psychologists talk about both what they like about the film and its depictions, as well as what they don't like. One of the commentaries is from film review writers that hated the film, and despite their critiques find a way to frame the film's importance in cinema. It's quite interesting, and it's prefaced by a letter from the Wachowskis on pitching this commentary to WB, which is hilarious. Imagine another movie that would have a review from people who didn't like it, just to give the viewer another perspective from which to absorb this wild ride. At this point, I believe there's a trilogy release on 4K as well as a steelbook at other retailers. I'd recommend getting the whole package as it's likely cheaper, and I bought this when the other 2 weren't released yet and had to buy the last 2 movies separately. This movie is still phenomenal, and holds up just as well today if not better. It's incredible to see how this film has matured and become social commentary that's just as relevant now as it ever was. The Wachowskis have gone on to do some great films and some not so great, but hoping that the new M4TRIX (see what I did there) does to post-2020, what this film did for the early 2000s.

I consider this movie to be one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time, right up there with the first two 'Alien' movies and various anime like 'Cyber City: Oedo', 'Ghost in the Shell' (which played a role in inspiring this movie), and 'Akira'. Being the hardcore anime fan that I am, I found 'The Matrix's' style very appealing and fun to watch. Everyone fit their roles perfectly in this movie; despite the fact that I'm not a fan of any of them (except Hugo Weaving), Keanu Reeves was much more likeable and believable than Will Smith would have ever been (he was originally considered to play the role of Neo, but he himself turned it down because 'he wasn't a serious enough actor'. I like Will Smith, but I totally agree with him). And let's not forget Hugo Weaving's brilliant performance as Agent Smith. Like this movie, I consider Hugo Weaving to be one of the greatest things to have ever come into existence. He has maintained his status of being the highlight in the entire Matrix franchise, alongside the action sequences that are nothing short of amazing. Now, many people complain about the middle of this movie up until the point where Neo sees a deja-vu cat to be super-boring, but I disagree, and I tell them to open their damn ears and listen to what the characters were saying so that they are so frigging confused later on, because everything that's said in the movie is said with a purpose. Not to mention, everything that's said is actually very interesting. "Whoa." Anyway, I'll be closing this review by highly recommending it to any sci-fi lover who's been crazy enough to NOT view it yet. This movie is like the 'Pulp Fiction' of... well... science fiction. ***** out of *****
