The Ultimate Matrix on DVD: It’s Bullet Time!
For those who just can’t have enough MATRIX and don’t mind double dipping, Warner Home Video has assembled THE ULTIMATE MATRIX COLLECTION ($79.92), which streets Dec. 7, 2004. The imposing and impressive 10-disc box set not only includes the MATRIX trilogy (with a gorgeous new high-def digital transfer of THE MATRIX) along with the previously released MATRIX REVISITED and THE ANIMATRIX, but also the following in-depth new “making of” discs: THE MATRIX RELOADED REVISITED, THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS REVISITED, THE ROOTS OF THE MATRIX, THE BURLY MAN CHRONICLES and THE ZION ARCHIVE. That pretty much covers it all, as they say, “from concept to phenomenon.”
