The Matrix Trilogy [DVD] [1999]

I had first on 4K but this had some crazy half price offer maybe even £25-30.So no brainer.So sold my part one for £12 so quids in.I don't need to talk about story everyone knows.But a classic in cinema history and yes part 3 looses it's way a bit bit nice to have the trilogy.I even bought the underrated 4th film which is gorgeous in 4K, a little muddled But IMHO I'd rate it higher than part 3 and £10 for a beautiful steel book with pill logo was great.A collection for everyone in what ever format.

Love all of these films

I film Trilogy I have had no issues at all thank you.

Superb trilogy, Shame the fourth was complete garbage!

With the constant barrage of advertising for The Matrix Resurrections, I decided to re-visit an old classic that I haven't seen in twenty years. I tried to dust off my old leather coat and flip phone, but realised just how fat and old I have become. Ha! In reality, I discovered that The Matrix has held up rather well and the sequels (which I had never seen) weren't all that bad at all.The Matrix Trilogy started off in 1999 with the Wachowski brothers making one of the finest scifi action films of our time. The film had a great cast including Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving. The premise was so unique and cool that the film blew up on release. It was so huge that you just couldn't escape it. It naturally spawned two sequels in 2003, The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions. Both films have been panned by fans for years and because of the over exposure, I never got round to watching them.On returning to The Matrix, I found that it was still a great film and hadn't aged a day since I last saw it. Possibly the year after it was released. There's a lot of brilliant action sequences backed up by some excellent music, direction and cinematography. Keanu's acting is as wooden as always but it fit the role perfectly and he was a perfect lead next to Fishburne and Weaving. That scene where he goes through the security barrier all guns blazing still looks incredible.The two sequels Reloaded and Revolutions was honestly not as bad I thought they were going to be. I felt the story was a little convoluted but it was quite serviceable and had lots of good moments that I really enjoyed. I did feel they were a little unnecessary but I loved the way that it opened up the world of The Matrix and we got to see the human world as well as the city of the machines, which was visually stunning.All three films look great on bluray. I believe the colours are a little off from the original print but it doesn't detract from the experience at all. I love the contrast in colour etc from the Matrix and the real world. The upgrade to bluray has certainly done it a lot of good. There are moments where the CGI is a little questionable but I can imagine they didn't look too good back then either. But the heart of the creators were in the right place, making things like that quite forgivable.For something I haven't seen since I was my son's age, I was very impressed. The Matrix Trilogy cost me ten pounds was an absolute steal at that price. I'm so glad I went back to it after so long and I hope others do too. Though, I imagine most people already have it in their collections.

A futuristic sci-fi trilogy that tells of humankind unknowingly trapped inside simulated reality byintelligent machines known as The Matrix.Computer programmer and hacker Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) known on-line as 'Neo' feels something isn't right with the World as he has repeated encounters with something called The Matrix on-line.He is contacted by Trinity (Carrie Anne Moss) a highly skilled warrior who will later become his love-interest telling him that someone freed from The Matrix has the answers to the questions he has.Believing that Neo can lead them to Morpheus who is seen as a much-wanted terrorist by Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) a sentient program Agent of The Matrix who captures Neo with his aids and coerces the computer hacker into helping them.However, when taken to Nebuchadnezzar (The ship captained by Morpheus) to meet the terrorist suspect he begins to learn the truth of the Worlds current mix of reality and The Matrix and the threat to human-kind from the machines.Morpheus believes Neo to be 'The One' of prophecy who will help save the World.Well, Neo doesn't recognize Morpheus's vision of who he is.After initial training to unlock his reflex skills Neo must go out into the World to discover his destiny himself.Along the way, he'll have several encounters with Mr. Smith and often Mr. Smith's many duplicates resulting in numerous bruising encounters.He will also have guidance and knowledge from she that is known as the Oracle (Gloria Foster)Unlocking the mysteries of the Matrix and its threat and increasingly learning his new-found abilities and skills.The war council will call on all to aid in the battle that is yet to come, though Morpheus believes his ship and crew have a loan purpose.Humankind will face overwhelming odds as the final showdown with the machines approaches, what role will Neo have in the battle's outcome?Not all the key characters will survive..Must admit the trilogy is better than I remembered it to be, lasttime of watching at the cinema when each was doing the rounds,however, did realize it was a film series that would benefit fromthe 4K upgrade, I was right, in fact, the upgrade is stunning in allthree.Was given a voucher for my birthday which made the purchasesomewhat inevitable, glad I made the investment.Well worth owning, superb action sequences and indeed one ofcinema's most memorable car-chase sequences along the way.

Excellent delivery

it was a gift

un amante del genere non può prescindere dall'averla.

Eine der besten Film Reihen überhaupt, mir haben alle 3 Teile super gefallen.Es gab nicht so wie bei der neuen Star Wars Verfilmung einen schlechten Teil dazwischen.Das einzige was mir gefehlt hat war ein Happy End mit Trinity, doch dieses hat man nun auch schön mit dem 4ten Teil umgesetzt, ich finde er war auch eine tolle Fortsetzung und hoffe das die Geschichte um die Maschinenstadt auch weiter geht so wie es angedeutet wurde.Die 4K Umsetzung ist hervorragend, das Bild ist der Hammer, als wäre er gerade noch im Kino gelaufen.Der deutsche Sound ist in Ordnung, könnte aber wirklich noch ein Stück besser und räumlicher sein.

Revisitar clásicos es un placer que con ediciones como ésta te hacen incluso redescubrir una saga. Aunque el blu ray en su día era top a Matrix le sienta de maravilla el salto de definición y el HDR. Bendito HDR. Recordad que el HDR es algo a ajustar en vuestro televisor, y que ha de ser HDR10 o Dolby Vision para que no os encontréis contrastes extraños o gamas de colores chillonas y molestas. E igualmente hacer un pequeño ejercicio de calibración en vuestra TV para ajustar los blancos de papel, los máximos y los mínimos, igual que para los negros. Con una buena calibración el salto respecto al blu ray es descomunal, como redescubrir la trilogía en su mejor cara, que ni siquiera en cines pudimos disfrutar. Saludos!
