Don't get me wrong. This set is fabulous, both the Special edition and normal 10 Disc Box set are great. And being a huge Matrix fan, why did I give this set only three stars? I have the three movies individually, each with it's own bonus disc of special features. I have the Matrix revisited DVD, the feature length making of Disc. I have the Animatrix DVD, and the Enter the Matrix game. If you love the Movies, and were going to buy them anyway- You won't go wrong with this set. It offers great value for money and hours and hours of entertainment. If like me, you're a fan and have already bought them separate...Think more carefully. You have to ask yourself if you're THAT much of a fan you need a few more extras. For me, I'm happy with my individual discs. Others will see this as essential. Like most fans, I'm kind of bummed that I diddn't know this set was coming out when I bought the movies in the first place.Read full review
This product is brilliant! If I could only own one blue ray movie it would be this collection. This movie is so legendary. I slapped my hands down on Laurence Fishbourne's shoulders at Cafe Du Monde in New orleans and called him Larry. Later I found out that he hates being called Larry. I apologize Laurence if you ever read this. He was very chill and one of the three ladies he was enjoying pastries and coffee with, read my palms. This was a sometime between 90 and 94. What an excellent actor. Buy this collection. Take a week off work and watch it all in your own personal matrix marathon. Notice how everything is green. You're in the matrix right now! Buy it as a gift. It keeps on giving. All of my friends are green with envy when I put this collection in there hand and say...Look what I got. Give your other three dvd's of this movie to your couzin's kids that are old enough and say....keep watching these kid. One day you will understand. Just for the premiere of "Bullet time" makes this historical cinema. Read the book that appears in the Hacker's apartment where he's hiding something in it. I hope the Wachowki's are planning three prequals. Just buy it! It's the price of a case of beer.Read full review
The special effects come alive with 1080P on my HDTV. One of the best looking trilogys ever, it looks even better than I thought it would in Hi-Def. The story is very convoluted and it isn't that great of a plot, but nobody watches the Matrix movies for the story. It's all about the special effects, and The Ultimate Matrix Blu-Ray Collection is easily one of the best Blu-rays that has been made so far. The special features are very interesting and worth a viewing as well as the Animatrix. Overall, this is a great Blu-ray package that all Blu-ray owners should have in their collection. The special effects in 1080P are just simply amazing.
The films were discussed many times, I only say that now they look as great as possible (not counting recent 4K re-release with changed color correction). This Blu-ray set includes every possible production documentary which may be valuable to diehard fans. As for the package, my lot came a bit worn out (well... this was seen on photos + description) but the disks are in great condition.

This 6-disk set wasn't intended for me actually. It was a gift for my boyfriend for Christmas. I thought the movie couldn't get better after seeing it on DVD. I originally had it on VHS and of course the picture quality was crap. But once it was hooked up to a 52-inch Samsung HDTV complete with Blu-Ray player, I was completely blown away. That dark over tone of the movie really came out and the special effects looked better, sharper and smoother. The bonus disk really gave a great insight into the movie complete with 2 different sets of commentary. I would highly recommend this set for any fan of the series. Even if you only like the first Matrix movie, it's still worth the price.
I thought about buying the 4k version of this series . But this transfer is better I think I'm some ways . There's pros and cons .. the 2008 -2009 color timing is much more natural by 2010 all other releases were transfered again and the entire film was color timed again . Way to heavy on the green and natural skin tones were just gone . If you like the series buy the specific set . I saw comparison online of 2008 vs 2010 Blu Ray and I was shocked . Worth every penny and now matrix 4 being in production these edition will go fast and become rare finds

The Ultimate Matrix Collection is so far the definitive collection of all things Matrix. From the techno philosophical, mind blowing, ground breaking and thought provoking first movie, to the lets call'em sub par but still enjoyable sequels, including the masterful Animatrix shorts. This collection of Blu ray discs serve the most die hard fan to the audio and videophile who want to put their respective systems to the ultimate test. 6 discs, 3 movies, 9 animated shorts and ultimately 35 hours of bonus footage make this set box a must have for anyone who enjoys their sci fi with flare. I recommend this to anyone and everyone.
Picture quality is excellant. The sound, Dolby Digital TrueHD 5.1 on Blu-ray is upgraded from the DVD version as well. This fantastic sound experience is a real treat to home theater aficionados. Multiple-disc box set includes: The Matrix The Matrix Reloaded The Matrix Revolutions The Animatrix The Matrix Experience documentary 35 hours of extra content
The Matrix is still one of the few Perfect Films to exist, and there’s charm to be found in the sequels, even if they don’t measure up. For those that already own the films in another form, the wealth of special features alone are worth the price of purchase.

If you are a fan of the Matrix movies, then this is an absolute "must have". I waited until the trilogy was released on Blu-ray before I decided to make the purchase. These movies were great already, but Blu-ray takes it to a whole new level! This was one of the very first purchases I made after getting a Blu-ray player and ironically was the reason I purchased the player to start with. Excellent boxed set with additional materials and you will not regret getting them, just wait and look for a great deal though, because the Ultimate Collection is usually around $100USD, give or take. I found a great deal and jumped on it!!
