OVERALL: R1
For the inclusion of a bonus audio commentary on disc 10. Note that the R2 Scandinavian -releases includes the missing featurette "Enter The Matrix: In The Making" on disc 7.
We will add the other regions, when there are proper and in depth reviews (not before that).
General Notes:
- There is a new transfer and audio mix for "The Matrix (1999)" in this Box Set. The new transfer was supervised by the Wachowskis, and Director of Photography Bill Pope.
To see a comparison between the old transfer and the new transfer, go here:
http://www.dvdactive.com/editorial/articles/the-matrix-visual-comparison.html
- These are missing from this box set (from the original DVD-release of "The Matrix (1999)"):
**Audio Commentary by Carrie-Anne Moss, Editor Zach Staenberg and Visual Effects Supervisor John Gaeta
**Isolated Score (with Commentary by Composer Don Davis)
- "The Matrix Revisited" in this Box Set (Disc 2) drops some featurettes (including Previews of the forthcoming Films, The Official Website and "The True Followers: Interviews With Hardcore Fans" featurette) and adds some new pieces, as well as one major new feature. The Theatrical Trailer for "The Matrix" (which was included on the original Movie DVD as a DVD-ROM Extra) is also missing (but it's on "Disc Ten" of this set instead).
- "The Animatrix" is missing both the "Enter The Matrix: In The Making" featurette (on the production of the videogame) and the "Production Technique" featurette.
**Our forum member "rq42" has contacted the BBFC, and here's their reply: "Warner have not resubmitted the uncut version to us for this box set, so we assume the box set will contain the cut '15'-version classified by the BBFC". -
CUTS:
- R1 The Ultimate Matrix Collection America- Warner Home Video - No Cuts (136:09 NTSC).
- R2 The Ultimate Matrix Collection Scandinavia- Sandrew Metronome - No Cuts (130:44).
- R3 Korea- Warner Home Video - No Cuts
