This plus ROTK EE + SW trilogy = :0~~

Now heres hoping for a Kill Bill Special Edition for christmas too

 

[DMczaf]

Holy shit.

MINE!

 

[AlphaSnake]

50 bucks? That's it? As much as I disliked Reloaded, and hated Revolutions, I will buy this for those 55 minutes in Reloaded.

 

[jiggle]

£44.99.

How much is that in USD?

 

[dskillzhtown]

That is alot of footage. Though I wished/assumed there would be new footage for Revolutions as well. For that price, I will get this box. fo sho.

I just hope that in some of that footage there is a breakdown of exactly what was going on and explain some of the questions that were left after the trilogy was over.

 

[Dead]

Yeah I dont have an problems with the first two movies at all. I hoped maybe for some new stuff in Revolutions but oh well...

 

[SickBoy]

45 British pounds=$83

Looks chock full of anything anyone could ask for though...

*returns to pretendland where the Matrix is a standalone movie.*

-SB

 

[Ghost]

55 minutes more of Reloaded? wow that'll be nice.

No extra scenes for the other 2 though :/



Oh wait did we decide that extra 55 minutes was just the ETM stuff?



Im not really sure why everyone hated the last two matrix films really, fair enough reloaded was a bit of a non-event, but it had some very very cool scenes, what happened after the smith fight with neo in revolutions was damn wierd, but the culmination of their fight was exactly the ending i expected and i was very pleased with that. And i loved the fight for Zion sequence.

 

[MoxManiac]

This is why i didn't buy any of the Matrix movies and waited.

 

[Wario64]

"Matrix Reloaded Extended Version (190 Minutes) - New Special Features new cut incorporating 55 minutes of footage shot for the 'Enter The Matrix' Game"

Haha, told you guys. Fuck that

 

[darscot]

The Matrix rocked but it was all down hill from there. As much as I would like the new transfer I'm just not will drop 100 on it.

 

[karasu]

footage from the game? weak.

 

[Ecrofirt]

I wonder why there's not an extra 55 minutes in Revolutions that fixes that stupid-ass ending.

 

[Trevelyon]

SO F'N MINE!

"All New Footage - Reloaded & Revolutions"

Exactly what & how much extra footage.. and it better be no ETM crap.

"Audio Commentaries by Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Production Designer Owen Paterson, 2nd Unit Directors David Ellis And Kimble Rendall and other cast and crew"

Oh.. jesus fuck Wachowski's! just do a bleedin' commentary already.

 

[Mairu]

Fuck the haters, I am so buying this.

 

[Dead]

Oh.. jesus fuck Wachowski's! just do a bleedin' commentary already.

I doubt theyd do one....I dunno I read somewhere theyre not on speaking terms anymore or something...

This might be everything in the set, but who knows. Ill wait for an official announcement...


Also I hope they will touch up some of CG shots in the burly Brawl...doesnt bother me but itd be nice..

 

[Ghost]

Heh, Keanu commentary...

"This is where i er....punched this guy....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

 

[SKluck]

I own matrix 1,2,3, revisited, and animatrix already, but this is definitely a double dip worth buying.

No commentary from the brothers though? That is definitely disappointing. I'd also like some serious discussion about why the sequels weren't recieved as well and if they thought they did anything wrong, not just a matrix circle jerk. But that usually takes at least 10 years for filmmakers to look objectively at their past work.

 

[Ghost]

isnt only one of them a 'brother' now?

 

[Mama Smurf]

They won't even do interviews, I believe it may be in their contract.

 

[darscot]

So what's the story on them? It would be worth buying if only to hear them fight on how they wanted to do things. Probable explain allot.

 

[SKluck]

So I guess that is that then? They did the matrix movies and then they are done?

God knows they are probably sitting on a quarter billion dollars.

 

[Dead]

So I guess that is that then? They did the matrix movies and then they are done?

God knows they are probably sitting on a quarter billion dollars.

I think it has more to do with the fact that studios will be more reluctant to give them a huge ass budget after this....maybe theyll do something small like bound or something

I wouldnt expect anything from them for at least a good 7-10 years if anything

 

[COCKLES]

3 - Matrix Reloaded Extended Version – New Cut With 55 Minutes Of New Footage Inserted Back Into The Film

Heaven on a DVD!

I'm sure the ETM footage will contain bridging scenes the bros shot at the time with the DVD in mind. You really think their going to plonk in the ETM scenes at random into the movie?

I'll buy three copies. One for me and one each for Lord Federman and Trilobyte.

 

[MrAngryFace]

55 minute rave scene! NO! 55 minutes of pot-belly morpheus! NOOOO!

No kidding. Lame.

Eh, I thought they didnt do commentaries and rarely are seen in public because of the sex changes?

 

[Desperado]

Fuck I just realized I haven't seen Revolutions yet.

 

[dskillzhtown]

Eh, I thought they didnt do commentaries and rarely are seen in public because of the sex changes?

Well, only one got/is getting a sex change. But that still shouldn't stop them from going in the studio and dropping some commentary.

 

[COCKLES]

Wonder how they'll handle the ETM footage. Given some scenes are done multiple choice in the game. I hope they go with Ghost's scene with Persophone - that's actually one of the best scenes in the entire series, just a shame they didn't use more of him in Revolutions.

I hope they show that Agent Smith scene in Revolutions that you always talk about, at least in a deleted scene format...

yeah Its going to take some creative editing for that ETM footage but itll work I think..the ETM footage was good and clears up the confusion about the Oracle in Revolutions and introduced the trainman....

 

[Mejilan]

Anyone wanna buy my stand alone Matrix DVDs? I have them all...

 

[Willco]

I'll buy three copies. One for me and one each for Lord Federman and Trilobyte.

You better buy one for me, 'cause hell if I'm going to buy it. I already own The Matrix. The sequels are not worth $80. In fact, I feel I should be reimbursed for sitting through those two shitty movies.

 

[OmniGamer]

So no HD transfers?

 

[Dead]

So no HD transfers?

2 and 3 already are I think


Like I said though, this isnt an official announcement so there might be stuff left out

 

[MrPing1000]

geez this is extremely tempting, for the price of it, its worth it despite the bits of crappiness

 

[Mason]

AWESOME. I WANT.

 

[Suerte]

Release date: 6-12-2004

Too far away to care...

 

[calder]

I might pick it up because I didn't bother buying Reloaded on DVD.

But right now I'm daring every single one of you to listen to Keanu's commentary track in it's entirety. That's going to be some cogent, penetrating insight!

 

[Crazymoogle]

Yeah, the ETM footage was pretty cool, and now that its back in the film, I can sleep at night disbelieving that ETM ever happened.

Too bad Revolutions still sucks though.

 

[Error Macro]

So no HD transfers?

There's no such thing as an "HD transfer." DVDs are all the same resolution. If you meant that they're downconverted from an HD source, then all three of the Matrix DVDs have been telecined and transfered in the same way. It's just that 1999's encoding technology isn't as good as 2003's encoding technology. I don't imagine that a new transfer of the first film will offer too much of an improvement.

 

[OmniGamer]

...I was referring to something along the lines of T2:Extreme Edition...back on the old GA there was a thread about the box set and some were speculating that there could be HD versions.

 

[Agent Dormer]

Returning to pretend land where The Matrix is a stand alone movie is the best suggestion in this thread.

 

[Willco]

Returning to pretend land where The Matrix is a stand alone movie is the best suggestion in this thread.

Amen.

 

[Diablos]

Wow, this would excite me if the Matrix was good after its first movie!!

 

[Error Macro]

Hmm, I see. Well, DeadStar's reply to your post thought the same thing. Be more clear next time! Anyway, you mean like a WMP9 version of the movies, like what's on the T2:EE disc? That would be cool, but almost certainly not going to happen.

[andthebeatgoeson]

Whatever, the gig's up. We've already saw Revolutions. You bastards aint getting anymore of my money.

$55 for 2 shitty movies and 1 great one? Where do I sign up for it? Oh, same line where I sign up for butt fuckings? Sounds great.

Gayming Age has just propelled the sales to new highs if that's the case.
