Where do I begin? This is a brand new 4K scan from the original negative of the movie with an added HDR10 & Dolby Vision HDR grading, which looks fantastic!
Picture Quality: 4.5/5
The Matrix was shot on 35MM film, so the film grain is more prevalent with the higher resolution. but there is much to be happy about with this new transfer, the uptick in resolution reveals fine details in the costuming, actor faces, and production design and with Dolby Vision HDR, The Colors are bolder and more vivid, more natural , contrast is impeccable, and the black levels are super inky. My jaw was on the floor the whole time...I couldn't believe I was watching a 19 year old movie. Although there were a few scenes with a touch of softness, the Picture quality was almost perfect, and it was in every which way, the best viewing of this movie that I had ever experienced. (I've owned the DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-ray sets before this)
Sound Quality: 5/5
This 4K set has a new Dolby Atmos mix that is reference quality and will be your go to disc, to demo off to your friends and family! Great use of overhead sounds. nice crisp, clear dialogue, everything just sounds so clean and dynamic. LFE levels are also impressive...you feel every gunshot and explosion with heart-pounding grunt.
(**WARNING Spoiler alert ahead.**) I damn near thought my sub woofer was going to knock my house off its foundation near the end when Agent Smith explodes and Neo is inside of him, sending that pulsating shock wave inside of the Matrix.
This 4K upgrade is worth every penny!

I can literally watch this movie over and over and over and over and over again. The subliminal messaging in it speaks so much truth about the world we live in. "It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to Blind you from the truth that you are a slave, you live in a prison that you cannot see smell taste or touch." Truer words have never been spoken.

Absolutely mindblowing transfer. I don't think much needs to be said about the film itself, so I will leave notes on the transfers here as it is important people understand what they are buying.
The new bluray transfer in here is garbage. It looks like they converted for 4K HDR and then did nothing about going back to SDR for the bluray in 1080p. It leaves the whole film looking overblown and weird. It's not something I would watch. The greenish filter that was recast on the previous bluray is gone on this release, so you might want to keep your old one just for the sake of a different color temperature. The old bluray looks better than the new bluray by far IMHO.
And then we have the UHD. It kicks the crap out of any previous release. Gone is the green filter, and in its place is a proper color temp that defines every area of the spectrum accurately for this film. It looks marvelous. Not too overblown and not too green. A very happy medium with tons of new details. It is shockingly good looking sometimes. You will probably never go back to any other release.
So buy this for the UHD not the new bluray. You will need 4K to enjoy this, or if not watch your old green version as it still looks very good to me despite being different than the original color temp. The packaging comes with slipcover sealed by plastic so you always get a slipcover.

This movie really holds up over time. It's almost 2 decades old (can you believe that?) but it still holds up. The tech stuff that Mr. Anderson does in the fake Matrix world doesn't get outdated because the writers were smart enough to keep it simple and non descript. (He gives a disc of unknown contents to someone after writing a script that does who knows what. They didn't have him using Quick Basic to code a virus for Lotus 1-2-3 or something that would have been quickly outdated and looked dumb 20 years later)
Then in the 'real world' all the ninja stuff Neo and Trinity do is still awesome action. Bullettime filming isn't innovative anymore but it still looks cool in an action movie.
The story holds up well. (On this one. The sequels didn't hold up long enough to get through the first screening the day they came out) As it's core this is still a story about the duality of consciousness and its just incredibly well put together. When Morpheus offers the red/blue pill choice...that scene still has a lot of depth to it on a psychological level.
Oh, and in HD the visuals in The Matrix just crush it. It is a whole different experience in HD. I remember getting this on DVD when it first came out and DVD players were all the rage. I couldn't believe how amazing this looked back then in 480i on a 30 inch screen with the digital DVD presentation. Not on a 60 inch 1080p screen this is visually jaw dropping.
I was nervous about rewatching this movie as it's one of my all time favorites and I haven't seen it in about 10 years. I was worried that it would seem totally cheesy now and it would ruin the memory of it. But that doesn't happen at all. It holds up very well.

13 blasphemies. not sure why hollywood insists on blaspheming God, but it does. Jesus' Name is the only one you ever hear used as a cuss word. Hmmm, wonder why?

Is a spectacular film. I remember going to see The Matrix at the Cinema in 1999 when it was first released, and the Blu-Ray is as close to that experience as I've seen to date.. The quality of the transfer is exceptional.
