All Regions blu-ray release, playable on all worldwide blu-ray players.The first film of The Matrix trilogy established the Wachowski brothers as innovative filmmakers who push the boundaries of live-action films. Like the groundbreaking Star Wars, The Matrix showcases a unique visual style, one the Wachowskis achieved through an array of techniques and digital effects, some never before seen in mainstream Hollywood films. Although computer morphing technology had been used before in The Abyss and Terminator 2, the Wachowskis were the first to use "bullet time", a time-bending digital effect that utilises both computer-generated imagery and still photography. The sequel The Matrix Reloaded showcased that visual style to further effect, with The Matrix Revolutions completing the trilogy.

The best movies from Wachowski Brothers
Probably the best movies from the Wachowski Brothers. This new box set in blu ray gives a new cinematic experience for this "classic" film. It is my personal belief that the first Matrix is, by far, the best one yet; having all three together will give you the complete history. The picture quality and the sound is outstanding. However, with the blu ray, you will watch other things, like skin imperfections or actor's spitting. You will have a great experience with this trilogy and is cheaper. If you have interest in watch Animatrix, just buy the DVD one.

A must-buy for ALL THE BONUS FEATURES
This is a region-free Bluray (this world can do more of those), so it will play in any country.With that out of the way, unfortunately the next Bluray (2018) that was produced from the 4K scan of the film, and paired with the 4K release, is simply better. This (2008) release is amateurish in comparison, which resulted from the creators not directly overseeing the colour grading. Yes, this release is inferior, so buy the 2018 one.BUT GET THIS ONE ALSO!Why, if the picture is worse? Because the bonus features selection is legendary.First of all, you get the making of for every part of the trilogy, and I think there is more behind the scenes material here than anywhere else. Second, you get the music video for Sleeping Awake, one of the credits songs for Reloaded, and a song written specifically for the movie. I don't think it was ever available on the DVD releases, and it's missing on the newer Blurays. You also get the music video for Rock Is Dead by Marlyn Manson. Third, you get all the cutscenes from Enter The Matrix, the only videogame that was actually connected to the movies (events take place during Reloaded). And Fourth, and this one is the most strange, you get a selection of late 90s electronic music. Was this the music creators listened to while writing the trilogy? That is my only guess, since this bonus feature is not explained.I hope I made myself clear: if you want to WATCH the trilogy, but the 2018 release. But if you want A LOT of bonus features, buy the 2018 too.P.S. Matrix 4 was a contractual obligation, it was never planned, never intended, and it's bad on purpose.

Matrix Blu-Ray - The Only Way to Go
I actually have the first of the series but not in Blu-Ray. My husband and I really got into the movie this time, really got into it, and decided to get the whole series. The one we chose may not have all the gimmicks that the other Blu-ray choices had but it definitely had the movies. Wow, after watching my old DVD, we went through the whole series in a weekend - unusual for us to do. Blu-ray is awesome. As usual, Amazon sent it quickly with no problems and at good prices. So many choices, it was hard to pick. We are very happy with the one we chose.
