The bullets, the guns, the lasers, the robots; how loud and torrential this all is, primarily without purpose. For that reason alone, 'The Ultimate Matrix Collection' earns yet another five-stars for audio. Depth and power earn this disc a best of 2018 ribbon. The Matrix Reloaded: Freedom fighters Neo Keanu Reeves , Trinity Carrie-Anne Moss and Morpheus Laurence Fishburne continue to lead the revolt against the Machine Army, unleashing their arsenal of extraordinary skills and weaponry against the systematic forces of repression and exploitation. As a movie production it is very nice specially given the year in which it was made. The film is not without its flaws, however. It is a truth that could cost Neo something more precious than his life.
Nor did they simply rely on their extraordinary visual sense. The not-so subtle imagery gets a little droll at times, but at this point you're probably used to that and just want to watch two guys duke it out for the fate of the world in front of a green screen, and you'll get all of that and more. The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions feel more like one movie than two and unveil the details of the events that began in the first film. Much as 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' introduced mainstream American audiences to the Chinese martial arts films, 'The Matrix' introduced us to the kinetic visuals of Japanimation, John Woo-inspired violence and the Cyberpunk ethos pioneered in the novels of William Gibson. The picture takes quite a while to get going, spending too long detailing life in Zion before getting to the core of the matter and it worries too much about the multiple Agent Smiths than it needs to when you consider how little impact parts of this have on the storyline as whole. And again, it's a disappointment that none of these many, many gorgeous pieces of conceptual and storyboard art have been upgraded to high-def resolution.
Turns out, Hollywood dollars do not a successful story make. By the time we get to number 3, Matrix Revolutions, you really are hoping for a revolution. The bonus disc will include the other previously released special features. Dialogue is always clean and clear and the levels are well balanced to ensure that you'll never have a problem understanding the performers.

But if you didn't take the plunge the last time around -- and can stand the two, inferior sequels -- then by all means, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better high-def deal for the money than 'The Ultimate Matrix Collection.
Impeccable sharpness shows off the full capability of 4K. Matrix Revolutions relies on a literally named Deus Ex Machina in its conclusion, a choice so phony as to crumble the entirety of this trilogy. But, like the outlet embedded in the back of Neo's head, the real power of 'The Matrix' is its ability to plug into the psyche of its target audience: young males. I was just as impressed -- these soundtracks are superlative. And the source itself is beautifully maintained -- there is a bit of grain here or there, but it is clearly part of the intended effect and there are no instances of dirt or blemishes. Con l'aiuto di Niobe, Neo e Trinity decidono di sfidare il nemico nel loro cuore dove nessuno si era mai avventurato, la Città delle Macchine. Indeed, 'Reloaded' opened huge, but the sequels seemed to quickly suffer from the law of diminishing returns.
At that one moment, everything about big-budget moviemaking changed. This is an exhaustive catalog of no less than forty-one! Hopefully you've been paying close attention up to this point, otherwise you might find yourself lost in what's not the best presented story of all time. The precision of this mix earns a reference stamp, able to mingle the variety of effects together with nothing lost and ample effort going into a sonic warzone. Storywise, it doesn't make sense. Video From a 4K master sourced from the original negative, the makeover of Matrix Revolutions is quite beautiful. And so the Wachowskis and Warner devised back-to-back sequels, shot over a period of year and to be released six months apart in the spring and fall of 2003.
We choose to do that. The nine shorts, collectively, are all over the place, but are often wildly exciting and visually stimulating. While the digital effects of the early millennium do not reach the same resolution, they do not suffer from the aliasing noted in. Back, too, are The Wachowskis and producer Joel Silver, expanding their vision with a spectacle that rocks the senses. Finally, compression artifacts are not an issue. Enter The Matrix: The Game is a look at the making of the video game of the same name that was inspired by the movie, which includes some cut scenes from the film and input from some cast members, and it gives you a pretty good feel for how the game can be played from the perspective of two different characters - Ghost and Niobe. Neo is contacted by Trinity Carrie-Anne Moss , a beautiful stranger who leads him into an underworld where he meets Morpheus.
The human race has been turned in a stack of batteries doing nothing more than powering Sentinels read robots who've taken over the earth. The film brings back most of the same characters that made the original film so popular and deals with some of the same heady themes and ideas - and honestly, it's a decent movie in its own right, but it sits in between the first and second chapters of the trilogy and, as such, doesn't quite carry the same sort of impact as the other two pictures. For high-def enthusiasts hungry to feed their new machines with top-quality material, nothing less than a demo disc would do. There are also twenty-three Enter The Matrix live action scenes included here that were shot for the game. His romance to Trinity Carrie-Anne Moss is sold.

Reality: That world is a hoax, an elaborate deception spun by all-powerful machines of artificial intelligence that control us. Awesome action scenes, but you go through huge chunks of the movie without the leads and the conclusion is somewhat vague and anticlimactic. Adequate amount of good story and proper action.
For whatever reason, close-ups on her smear excessively. Granted, the trilogy as a whole suffers from the law of diminishing returns, but it's impossible to argue with the series' lasting impact and influence on pop moviemaking. They do point out some of the more subtle aspects of the film that you might not catch the first time around and keep it scene specific for the most part, but they tend to drift from interpreting the film to simply relaying what's happening on screening and expressing their admiration for it far too often. Some of the connections these guys pull out are pretty incredible, as they cite everyone from Descartes to Nietzsche to Plato, as well as compare sections of the films to both the Old and New Testament, the Koran and the Book of Revelations. There are 22 segments total, along with a 1-minute introduction by producer Joel Silver and actress Jada Pinkett-Smith. Matrix Revolutions packs in the action, with hordes of Sentinels rampaging in Zion, and defenses spewing ammo by the thousands.
