DVD Reviews of The Complete Matrix Trilogy (The Matrix/ The Matrix Reloaded/ The Matrix Revolutions) [HD DVD]
DVD Review: Pure HD Splendor
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to agree with the general consensus, High Definition was made for movies like The Matrix Trilogy. Or is that the other way around? Either way, The Matrix Trilogy looks absolutely stunning in 1080p/1080i High Definition.
I remember when the first Matrix came out on DVD, we all thought the picture quality and audio quality were the best thing we had ever seen. And it was, at the time. Now, the Matrix returns, this time in HD, and it once again takes the cake as the best picture and audio quality ever seen.
I cannot help but laugh when people tell me that "there is no difference between standard definition and high definition"; all I want to do is show them The Matrix Trilogy HD side by side with its standard counterpart and watch their mouth hit the floor. Seriously, watching this trilogy in HD breathes new life into it, and movies in general. There is a HUGE difference between 480p/480i (standard definition) and 1080p/1080i (High Definition).
You can see every imperfection on every actor, their pimples, their pores, their scars. And its all beautiful. Details, details, details. You can clearly see the detail on virtually every object in the foreground of each shot, each scene. Colors are vibrant and clear; the whole picture has ten times the clarity of its standard definition counterpart. The picture is so clear that you can make out every piece of fabric that comprises the actors clothing; to me THAT is amazing.
For a particularly amazing scene, check out the Lobby shootout segment in the first Matrix film. Then compare it to the regular DVD version. You WILL see a huge difference.
All three films are pristine and clean from any artifacting, dirt and any other blemishes. There is a slight film grain pervading each film, but nothing that wasn't originally present in the source material, and it is never intrusive or distracting.
The audio is so crisp and booming, bringing the film to life. If you have a surround sound setup it is even better. From the high intensity explosions to the pulse pounding music is so clear and pristine that it clearly beats that of any movie theater quality. The audio is presented in Dolby 5.1 and Dolby 5.1 TrueHD. Both are spectacular.
These kinds of details may not be a huge deal to the average joe, but to someone who really enjoys movies it makes all the difference in the world. Before I witnessed HD with my own eyes I too thought that it didn't really matter how blurry and bland the movie looked. But now, after I have tasted the divine, I cannot go back. Standard def movies look plain and muddy. Yeah, I'm spoiled now, but I don't care. High Definition is the way to go.
So, we all know the story of the Matrix Trilogy, and most of us can agree that the first Matrix is undoubtedly the best, while the 2nd and 3rd iterations are slightly inferior products in the storyline department. Yet, all three are equally amazing in my mind, and this HD trilogy easily ranks as one of my all time favorite films ever.
There are extras, mostly ports from the DVD version of the Matrix films, but there is also something called "In Movie Experience" that brings you even deeper into the world of the Matrix and the mind of the infamous Wachowski Brothers.
HD-DVD adopters truly lucked out with this fine trilogy, something Blu-Ray owners are literally begging for.
Its sad that HD-DVD is dead now, what with Toshiba giving up in the format war. Blu-Ray fans need not fret though, The Matrix Trilogy will soon become Blu; its only a matter of time. For all of the HD-DVD die-hards and early adopters, I implore you, pick up The Complete Matrix Trilogy on HD-DVD. You will be very happy and pleased with this purchase. The picture is amazingly stunning, the audio is better than the movie theater, and the total experience will blow you away.
HD-DVD owners, do yourself a favor and grab this item while you can. This is definitely demo material.
