Blu Monday: The Matrix Reloaded [ Impressions & Giveaway ]

Welcome to Blu Monday! The Geekadelphia crew get sent a lot of Blu-rays and just don’t have the room to keep ‘em all. Plus, I’d rather share them with you, dear readers. Today, we’ve got The Matrix Reloaded.

Ah, the Matrix trilogy, the utterly brilliant piece of cinema that we pretend the Wachowski Brothers made without directing anything else. Seriously. Let’s just imagine that Speed Racer never ever happened. Okay? Moving on.

You’ve seen the film in theaters, possibly on DVD or television… but you’ve never really seen the Matrix: Reloaded (or the other two) until you’ve witnessed it in high definition. The picture is crisp and the special effects are absolutely stunning. Watching any of the Matrix films on Blu-ray is reminder of why you should own a Blu-ray player to begin with.

The Blu-ray is loaded with a lot of the same special features available in the already released trilogy box set, including nine featurettes documenting the epic car chase, a documentary on the teahouse fight, theatrical trailers, television spots, commentaries, a documentary on the Matrix video game… and over a dozen MORE featurettes. A DOZEN. The disc packs a ton of content.

Is this worth purchasing? Sure, if you’re not interested in picking up the trilogy box set. And I can certainly understand that, since the box set includes the Animatrix and other content you might not be into.

Do you want to win a copy of the Matrix: Reloaded on Blu-ray? Sure you do. Just leave a comment with the name of your favorite Matrix character for a chance to win. I’ll close the thread on Friday and email the winner, who will be chosen at random.
