Fantastic - By: A. A. Jones, 05 Dec 2005
Many thanks to Amazon for still being able to supply this wonderful Limited Edition 10 DVD set with Figurine & Collector's Book.
For any Matrix fan it is the ultimate gift containing 10 DVDs with over 35 hours of bonus material. An absolutely breathtaking set complete with complimentary collectable booklet & painted bust.
Best of alll is the presentation. The collection is housed in its own, absolutely stunning, Perspex display case. On looks alone the standard collection fades into insignificance.
If you love the Matrix then this comes highly recommended & I am sure it will be highly collectable.
A five star experience. - By: , 18 Jun 2005
forget what you've been told, or what you've heard. People who trashed the two sequels most probably a) did'nt get them or b) did'nt give it a chance.

What you get here is a great 10 disk set which features; a new transfer of 'The Matrix',and the sequels 'The Matrix-Reloaded'and 'Revolutions' the complete 'Animatrix' (9 short films created by the best animators in the world which explore the past, present & future of the Matrix) & 6 disks of special features totallling around 35 hours of informative & interesting features covering alll aspects of the films.

Also included is one of he most balllsy moves ever performed by a movie company, they have one set of commentarys performed by 2 philoshephers who liked the films & they delve into the deep meanings of the story, & one set of commentarys performed by critics who hated the films, which is very interesting (to here one of americas top critics reason for hating the film because it is 'to green'!?).

The films themselves are at 1st glance a mixed bag, you have 'The Matix' which was innovative at the time & also revolutionised cinema as we know it, but under the glossy finish lied an actual great film which will make you question life itself.

then the sequels Reloaded at first, will strap you to you're chair & amaze you if only with its awe-inspiring action scenes (the best I have ever scene, just for the action scenes the film is an instant 5*. And it leads you straight into revolutions, which is in my view an epic struggle for human survival against an unstoppable foe & it escalates into an almost biblical struggle for exsistence. A great ending which tore up the text book & upset alot of people but in the end makes sense. And after you have gathered you're senses you can explore more with the animatrix.

All in alll no matter what the critics say the trilogy (viewed as a whole) is mind blowing, & up there with the likes of star wars, & Lord of the Rings (no hate mail please)

A definite must have!

Christmas has gone but birthdays are a coming. This is a great collection for any Matrix geek out there packed with alll the extras you need & would make an ideal gift for a fan. Maybe a bit much if you only reallly liked the first one, if that's the case there are cheaper alternatives, but for die hard fans it's ideal.
BRING ON THE BULLET TIME - By: , 11 Nov 2004
By the looks of this, the ultimate matrix collection is sure to be one of the hottest dvds around this christmas. As an extra bonus for this limited edition it comes in a brilliant cd rack type of case & includes a big neo figurine & a collectors book which is unavailable in the regular edition. Considering what you are getting, this is a real bargin. If you think that if you bought the matrix, M.reloaded,M.revolutions & the animatrix separately it would come up to about £40-£50. Also, in this 10-DISC edition you are getting roughly double the amount of viewing possibilites as there is about 25 hours of coverage overalll. As I said, this is almost guaranteed to be a massive hit at christmas & is a must for any die hard fan or any reallly who enjoys watching Neo biting the bullet again & again. Finallly, a bit of advice, do not buy the regular version, you will be better off paying £12 more & getting a rather large figurine, & 80 page collectors book & a much more secure case (or box) to look after it alll
