The Matrix 10th Anniversary Blu-ray review

PACKAGE: ★★★★★ 

Available for the first time in high definition without its less impressive siblings, The Matrix 10th Anniversary Edition all by itself is an irresistible package. Provided by Warner Bros. in digibook packaging, The Matrix comes complete with a 37 page full-color book built into the case, and a digital copy on a separate disc. The case is reflective and changes color based on its angle to the light. For being a standalone disc, the extras are hefty. The Matrix Revisited is included, a two hour documentary on the making of the film that was originally sold as a separate DVD. Several smaller features, trailers, and a music video round out the impressive extras. Absent are the dozens of hours of extras included in the Ultimate Collection package, but I assume most who buy this disc are doing so to have only the original, all by itself, in its very own packaging. This is easily the best single package of The Matrix ever released.


Including a book in the case is nice, but the oversized package will stick out slightly.

BIAS:


Any bias I have is solely related to The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions, sequels that not only failed to meet expectations, but damaged the memory of the original in the minds of millions. It’s for that reason that Warner strategically bundled the original with its sequels, hoping to unload the crappy follow-up projects to fans eager to experience the first in glorious high def. It is for this reason that I am experiencing The Matrix in HD for the first time… and it was definitely worth the wait.


Finally on Blu without the stink of its siblings...
