...must for all Matrix die-hards, the ULTIMATE MATRIX COLLECTION has landed.
I know you all dashed out, as I did, and bought the films individually, but here is a set to die for. What do you get for your money, and why is it worth ditching your old discs and buying the new ones – well in short you get 10 DVD’s, with over 35 hours including bonus features of over 100 new featurettes, interviews and commentaries which have never been aired.

The Matrix – two discs. The Matrix Reloaded – two discs
The Matrix Revolutions – two discs
The Matrix Experience - three discs

Advantages: It IS the greatest box set and does not fail to please. Disadvantages: Will take up a large chunk of your life.
...seen all three films in the trilogy, I neglected the box set for over six months. It wasn't until a rainy saturday when I was bed-ridden with a chest infection that I first watched it. Quite frankly, I have never been so happy to be so ill. I was lucky to stay ill for a further four days and did nothing but watch the box set. By the end of that week I was convinced, either I was 'The One' and I was trying to out think the machines and exert my Will ... ...Matrix is the greatest film based on philosophical themes ever made. And that statement I can justify to be absolutely true...
Most who buy this product will so as they watched one or more of the Matrix trilogy and, like me and millions of others, were captivated it. If you fall into this category, then you will not be displeased. In fact, not only will you not be displeased, but you will most probably never be satisfied with any other box set or ...

The Philosophy
The complex philosophy behind the movie is utterly outstanding. The Matrix deals with questions like, What is reality? Are we alive? What are the limits of our universe? and many many more.
There are commentaries for each movie with philosophers that talk about the complex problems in the matrix. These two men deffinately ...

Advantages: Great quality transfers, 35 hours of extra features to get stuck into. Disadvantages: A lot of it is already available, and bits still cut out of the first movie!
So here it is. The uber-box set with everything Matrix-related ever made. It was inevitable(no pun intended) really wasn't it? But is it up to the standards expected of such a definitive release?
Well, in a word, yes. Firstly, the box set is well made, looks neat and sits nicely on your shelf. All the artwork and accompanying booklets are well constructed, so you feel you're getting your money's worth.
Included in this boxset is a brand new digital ... ...gripe with this is that the short headbutts cut out of the previous release ARE STILL MISSING. Surely on a £50 definitive boxset of a movie you expect THE WHOLE MOVIE to be present?
In addition to the movie, you also get the pre-released "Matrix Revisited". Thanks very much, but some new content would have been nice.
Reloaded is where things perk up a bit. You get the disc with the movie on (same transfer as before, which still looks perfect), ...

Advantages: All 3 films plus more Disadvantages: Keanu Reeves bless him
...you are a fan of the matrix then you will love this box set.
The Matrix stars Keanu Reeves as Neo, a computer hacker who comes into contact with Trinity (Carrie Ann Moss) and Morpheus (Laurenc Fishburne). Through these people Neo discovers that the world he lives in may not even be real but is a computer simulation called the matrix. The matrix uses humans as fuel and Morpheus has been searching for 'the one' who will lead the people to destroy ... ...with stunning effects and the story is original and the Wachowski brothers have really taken a different approach to the future as i have never even heard of a story such as this one.
This 10 disk set of all 3 films and much awaited for bonus features such as commentaries, interviews, documentaries, 9 short films exploring the matrix, profiles and the animatrix.
Highlights of features in detail;

Advantages: All three films, many hours of extras, well... it's the Matrix! Disadvantages: Sooo many extras that you will never have the time to watch them all!
...good, i especially enjoyed watching the disc of the animatrix, which is a collection of short animations based upon the matrix. One of these animations follows the flight of the osiris, which is the hovercraft which first witnessed the mass of sentinels sent to destroy Zion in the matrix reloaded. Although in my opinion the second and third films do not even come close to the brilliance of the first matrix film, it is still worth seeing them. This ... ...rate it as one of the top collections i own. It is much better to buy the collection in this 10 disc set than buying the films seperately as this set comes with so many hours of extras that i still havnt seen them all! This is a must have for anyone. GET IT! ...

The matrix films are absolutly brilliant and certainly make you think about life, with this box set you get an amazing 10 discs which is extremely good value, What is the matrix?? The film is about the world and the fact that it is a hoax, a made up world created by powerful machines and artificial intelligence that control the world, with the most fantastic stunts, Keanu Reeves (Neo) and his team morpheus and trinity have to fight to free all mankind, ...

The matrix is set in a future when life is a simulation, where we (humans) are slaves to the machines we created, mind prision was created so that they could preserve our life AND surviv themselves by using our body heat for energy.
