The Ultimate Matrix Collection [Blu-ray] Reviews
The first film not so much. I was very disappointed in the quality of the first film, because I really didn't see any difference in quality from the DVD version. However the other films in the set do benefit greatly from the increased resolution. They are stunning.
:). So this alone makes me annoyed enough to give it 4 stars rather than 5. On my Samsung, for the first movie, I had to press the "Audio" button on the remote. I had to press the "Popup Menu" button, which showed a small menu at the bottom of the screen. The only selection that made any sense was "Languages". How great would it be to have the designers subject to interesting punishments based on how easily (or not) an average user could view the movie at optimal settings.
Imagine if my parents, or even just an average Joe had to figure this out. When I did, a small selection menu appeared at the top of the screen where I could select language and coding tracks.
When I explored that, I found I could select the different tracks. So how friggin stooopid is this.
BUT, on Animatrix, the "Audio" button would bring up that top menu and I was not allowed to change the track. First off, having no menu before the movies is ok, but disconcerting.
They have True-HD tracks as well, but selecting it is totally NOT user friendly. Problem is that the disc defaults to Dolby DTS no matter what.
I have the Samsung BD-P2550 with current firmware.
I for one will be requesting a refund of my money paid for shipping, as i am not getting the service i paid for. That is just BS. I purchased this box set on Dec. I find out that this movie isn't shipping til Jan 2 and will not be delivered until Jan 9th. I should be getting on jan 3rd or 4th at the latest, not a freaking week later. I paid the xtra money to get it shipped priority, and i get reduced to UPS's media mail service. If i knew it was gonna be shipped that way, i would have used the Free Shipping option. 29th, with the priority 3-5 day shipping.
Just have to find time to watch all the 35 hours of extras. A nice bonus is digital copy of the first movie. Highly recommend this set, especially at Amazon's price. This is the best quality audio and video copy of Matrix series you can get. Watching the series right now, and enjoying every minute.
I am sure that he will enjoy hours of watching all the DVD's that this comes with. He has really enjoyed and was thrilled to get this as a gift. This was a great gift idea for my husband who loves the who Matrix movies.
