Unless you're a die-hard fan of these movies, yes you will be disappointed. Having picked them up in HD DVD made me realize how bad these movies are. Matrix 1 is the only really good one. Reloaded has some great action, but that's it. Revolutions is the prime example of how to F**kup a trilogy. Buy some stocks instead.]]>Oct 13th 2008 4:12PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/Oct 13th 2008 9:21PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/Oct 13th 2008 5:55PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/Oct 13th 2008 6:21PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/Oct 13th 2008 8:29PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/Oct 13th 2008 10:17PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/Oct 14th 2008 6:43AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/Oct 14th 2008 9:28AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/
I bought the same movie box set on HD DVD for about $30.]]>Oct 14th 2008 12:20PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/Oct 22nd 2008 5:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/
My HD TV is very recent & has an excellent upscaler, so not only is the SD version I already have practically indistinguishable from the 1080p version (it is animation afterall) but I can now tell for certain as I have the 1080p HD version of the Animatrix anyways.

I did not have to shell out that silly price of the Blu set to get it either.]]>Oct 22nd 2008 8:01PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/
Also, re: 1080P Animatrix: while "Cars" is a breathtaking all-digital reference disc, I think an investment in other styles of animation (i.e. non-computerized) in 1080p is folly: 1080p Simpsons? South Park? Family Guy? What's the point? Except for final flight of the osiris, I don't see much value to the 1080p version of the other hand-drawn stuff.]]>Oct 23rd 2008 3:05PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/10/13/the-ultimate-matrix-collection-on-blu-ray-review-roundup/
Bottom line: Wait for a standalone BD discs of just the movies and keep your HD-DVD or DVD Ultimate collection. Animatrix in 1080p? Who cares?]]>Nov 19th 2008 8:40PM
