The Matrix Reloaded DVD

[Baadshah]

Do you guys think it will come out when Revolutions hits theatres, or will they release as a 2 pack dvd set with Reloaded and Revolutions next year????? I hope they release it when Part 3 hits theatres.

[BlakeAE77]

I'm hoping they release it right before Revolutions hits theaters. It would be the perfect time to release it.

[Movie Stub]

Well it's supposedto be ix onths so hopefully like the last week of October or first Tuesday of Nov.

[Rizor]

The street date had been announced. It's October 3rd.

Just in time for my birthday. I hope this is accurate.

[deo]

I like the matrix, but I don't even have the first movie on DVD. I'm not going to bother buying any of the movies on DVD, because I know they're going to end up releasing a huge box set. I bet the box set will include the movies plus the animatrix, and even extras that aren't in the other DVD releases. good things come to those who wait.

Warner Home Video have announced the DVD release of The Matrix Reloaded, the sequel to 2000's Oscar-winner, for October 3rd. This announcement of course comes before the film even hits cinemas! No word on disc specs yet, but expect a good serving, although an audio commentary from the Wachowskis looks unlikely.

So how's this for being early: word has it that Warner Home Video has earmarked October 3rd for The Matrix Reloaded DVD release... this still a week before the film even hits theaters! If so, then this would be one of those special "Friday releases" that'll generate huge weekend sales numbers. No word on disc specs yet, and I wouldn't expect any for some time.

[Baadshah]

thanks, i wonder what the cover will look like????

Me too. It'll probably have Neo, Trinity and Morpheus with the code in the backround..

[morpheus1987]

That would be cool

[Jarbacca]

i hope it doesn't come in a snap case like the first one did

[spiderman_2k]

Cruddy Warner DVD's are pretty much all like that, then again Harry Potter was a big release and that got a decent case, so Maybe The Matrix will??http://66.227.101.70/contrib/sarge/happyNeo.gif The Matrix Has Me!!!!

[Van Helsing]

I hope they are going for a good relaease packed with features unlike what they did with Matrix Revisited. I am getting Revisited and Animatrix really soon so I might get three of the movies together too ;)

[spiderman_2k]

I have some cash spare so i might go pick up revisited tonite, I have the original on DVD im interested to see the special features of revisited :D

[Baadshah]

there considering one of these three for the DVD Cover.
To me, i like the first one, it's much darker.

http://www.theaveragejoes.net/members/images/upimages/matrixreloaded3.jpg

what do u guys think?

[morpheus1987]

I like the 1st or 3rd

[spiderman_2k]

Top one Definatley

[Baadshah]

a guy made this pic below, which could be an awesome cover for the DVD. But it's not official like the above three.
http://members.shaw.ca/ventro2/reloaded2.jpg

[spiderman_2k]

Its cool but a bit too Lord Of The Rings, and Harry potter, where u can see alot of the characters faces.

[Baadshah]

maybe the appeal is great, better than the three above.

[Rizor]

It's cool, though I too don't like all the characters. The frame is a bit strange too.

[Tee244]

I like the 3rd one..

[morpheus1987]

the fake one has too much stuff in it.

[Jarbacca]

i like the first one, although they should have made one that was similar to the cover of the first

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00000K19E.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

[Highfire]

i think the 3rd one

[freakyplatypus]

The release dates October 28th... (MatrixFans.NET)

[wolfwood]

I will totally by it when it comes out in October, it high on my want list.

[Baadshah]

definately

[Baadshah]

with the official dvd art that has been revealed, this is so far the best that i've seen
http://members.shaw.ca/ventro2/reloaded2.jpg

[clrb15]

That one looks AWESOME!!!! There are 2 DVD covers that I like (one of them is that)....but neither one of them are the official covers....too bad:(

[Hitman]

No. That cover looks too, too Star Wars......ish.

[Baadshah]

the features of the dvd, the one of the game, i wonder if they will explore the video footage from the game, any news on that?

[Baadshah]

well, any response?

[Chim-Chim]

Colubia House on the pre-orders has the release date at 10/14/03, but they allways say that release dates are subject to change.

this is the cover they show

http://a1596.g.akamaitech.net/f/1596/1167/1d/images.columbiahouse.com/content/art/dvd/cover/02/93/029327_dba_dtl_01.jpg

I pre-ordered mine allready, of course when there was free shipping and processing.

[jpdill]

The UK gets theirs a few days before the US. So us UK peep gets ours on the 10th of October, the US get theirs on the 14th.

[hpk37067]

Screw the UK. Damn them, getting everything early!

[Glordreen]

I dont care what the cover is, I just want the movie

[hpk37067]

I like the first cover on the page. And the cover kinda matters. When it looks cool, more people tend to buy it, even if they never liked it in the first place. Like Austin Power: International Man of Mystery got little at the box office but got tons off VHS/DVD sales.

[Baadshah]

is the feature on the game show the footage from the game?

[jediknight]

http://www.dvdplanet.com/product_listing.asp?productid=33380

DVD Planet has a release date for the 14th as well. Perhaps they moved up the release date because Matrix Reloaded and The Hulk were coming out on the same day....I dunno.

[Baadshah]

we already know that it will come out the 14th. I just want to know if the featurette which talks about the game will show the 1 hour movie footage that was shown on the game

[jediknight]

I believe its just a "making of the game" kind of thing. If people could see the 1 hour worth of movie footage from the game on a 20 dvd, why would they play a crappy 50 dollar game?!?

[Baadshah]

maybe not see the 1 hour footage, just discuss what happened in the footage.

[jediknight]

Yeah, i've seen some making of stuff where it shows jada pinkett talking about how they shot this extra footage and how it was going to be in a videogame, not the movie, and she couldn't even believe they were waisting time and money on a videogame. I didn't see the footage on the videogame, but I might be missing something. Hopefully, thats on the dvd.

[todd philip]

i wish it could of had commentarys!!!

why no damn commentarys!!!

why no damn deleted scenes!!!

are there going to be easter eggs???

[Baadshah]

probably

[hpk37067]

If they had easter eggs, would it have come out in easter?

[clrb15]

[hpk37067]

Let's hope not.

[Baadshah]

a month and a half to go

[hpk37067]

Yay! I hope they have a lot of extra stuff.

[clrb15]

I'm getting The Matrix Reloaded DVD, but the features for me....are still very little.....I WANT A BIG BLOWN OUT SPECIAL EDITION!!!!!! There is still no commentary from anyone on this movie!!!! Holy s***!!! I can't wait, but I guess i'll have to make do with what this movie has. GRRRRRR!!!!!!

[hpk37067]

Easy there. Must inhale and exhale buddy.

[clrb15]

I am. But still, don't you think that this DVD is very minimal on the features department?? For a movie like this to have a DVD that sounds like it has nothing, is very bad for me, I was hoping for something more.

But, I don't have the DVD yet, I haven't seen the A/V presentation, I haven't watched the special features. So maybe I should just wait for it all on this DVD (because this is the version i'm going to buy). Who knows, maybe it all might be good. :)

[hpk37067]

Well, we won't find out until it comes out, will we?

[Baadshah]

i found the Matrix a little in features, but then again, there is alot of hidden features, so you never know with the Reloaded dvd

[Seraph333]

I was so dissaopinted with the special feautures but what the heck....it's the movie that counts. I doubt they had deleted scenes, but i wish they had Revolutions previews/trailers on it.

[Baadshah]

they do

[Watakshino]

I planned on buying the DVD first thing, but when I saw those features, I decided not to. I couldn't believe that they were giving so little and then it hit me. They have to be saving some features for when they release all three movies in a special set. THAT is what I am going to buy. Not Reloaded alone. I can wait. I have the willpower. I think . . .

[Baadshah]

http://dvd.ign.com

the website above will have the full review on Wednesday (U.S time)

http://dvdmedia.ign.com/dvd/image/MATRIX_RELOADED_DISC_2-5.jpg

[Hitman]

I hope at least somewhere in the near future when the whole Matrix trilogy is released in a box set, it'll have commentary from The Wachowski Brothers. As a Matrix fan, I think that's the most important feature.

[necronon99]

i agree hitman
hearing them on the bound dvd was a treat

[Baadshah]

i'm sorry guys.
from http://dvd.ign.com/articles/452/452301p3.html

"For starters, there is no commentary track at all. The Wachowski brothers actually have a clause in their contracts with the studio that they don't do interviews, so they sure aren't going to do a commentary track. Unfortunately, no one, not even their spokesman producer Joel Silver, spoke up. "

[IanTheCool]

meh, no commentaries arent the end of the world. but tis gonna be cool to get it on the 14th. ive only seen it once so far.

[Baadshah]

is it worth it getting Matrix Revisited? I don't want to buy it and then get #$#% later months ahead when probably another Special Edition of the Matrix DVD comes out, which is rumored not.

Is there any news on later editions of Matrix or Matrix Reloaded? I already know that there are later editions of Terminator 3

[sphericthor]

I can't wait to I get my hands on this DVD on Friday

[Baadshah]

thank you for not answering my question

[Cipher Jo]

Hey guys I got the DVD and I'll have a full review soon. For now there are screen caps I took under the matrix thread

[roboxeno]

cwait its out? i thought it wasnt out till 10/14/03???

[Cipher Jo]

I work at Hollywood, got it early
Here's one of the caps I posted from the DVD. Notice the man on the left being taken away. Recognize him!

Did you ever stop to think that I can post right below you yet still not answer the question? Maybe I don't know the answer to that question so therefore I couldn't answer, but no you think that because I posted below you I need to answer it. No one else has answered you yet either but I don't see you jumping at them for the same thing. :mad: :mad:

[Baadshah]

that's because i went to sleep and the last time i checked the latest post was mine. But ya, Cipher and rob, answer my question now :)

[Cipher Jo]

I think that it is inevitable for there not to be another boxed set of some kind WITH commentary. Reloaded is cool but I found the extras not to be too great. Rent it to get your fix

[roboxeno]

i want to work at holly wood vidoes there seltions is wayyy better then Block busters

[necronon99]

i love video is the best store I've ever rented from

Austin TX

[Baadshah]

5 days left, can't wait, i still don't know what the back cover looks like

[Sims17]

Im going to get the reloaded dvd tomorrow morning i can get it for around £15.99 in the UK which is the best price ive seen so far and i really cannot wait to get it!

[Cipher Jo]

Ill get a scan of the back and the disc arts which are tight for you tomorrow

[Baadshah]

cool. Is it a good idea to get Matrix Revisited? I mean, it has been 5 years since the first Matrix, is it worth it? The people who own the dvd, is it still worth buying it?

[Cipher Jo]

I don't know, since I'm a huge fan I bought it and enjoyed it. It actually goes fairly in depth which is nice.

[cg124]

man i just saw an add for this today and i;m definetly getting it. i also loved the movie

[roboxeno]

*still wating fore box set*

[Baadshah]

the box set won't be nothing special i think. I mean it will only contain the films that are available now, and maybe some extra dvd, that could be bought seperately also.

[Baadshah]

so cipher, where is the scanned pics of the back cover and the discs?

[sphericthor]

Bought the DVD this morning and wasn't disappointed although there was no trailer included in the extras. 4 Documentaries and the MTV segment went down well though.

[spiderman_2k]

I was pretty disappointed, i loved the reloaded trailers...They could have tagged the Revolutions trailer into the special features, but we have to sit through the credits to see it (unless there is a quick way i dont know about)...I would have also liked to see the P.O.D song "Sleeping Awake" in the features somewhere.

[sphericthor]

Skip the chapter where the credits are because the trailer is in a seperate one so it's easier to get past them.

[spiderman_2k]

Thanks for the tip...I like the way they have begun marketing Revolutions with the Adverts for the Reloaded DVD.

[sphericthor]

So how much did the DVD cost you?

[spiderman_2k]

£15.95....Not bad

[sphericthor]

Tesco? I got mine there for the same price. Woolworths have an offer on for £17.99 until Monday and then the price will go up

[jediknight]

How do you convert pounds to dollars? Just wondering how much I'll be paying for the DVD. Best Buy online has if for 14.99 but you usually get extra stuff in the store for such a big release.

[sphericthor]

$14.99 is around £9 if you want to know

[reggie]

Its £13.49 at Dixons for the weekend.

[Baadshah]

ccccccciiiiiiippppppphhhhhhheeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr

[Baadshah]

All right, I can't wait for Cipher Jo to post the pics anymore. Here you guys go:

[Baadshah]

remember when there was news on a release for the Special Edition of the Matrix DVD. I know they cancelled it, but they mentioned that they had more extras:
Anamorphic Widescreen Transfer

Audio Commentary with Carrie-Anne Moss, SFX Supervisor & Editor

Isolated Score with commentary by Don Davis

Making the Matrix Documentary

Follow the White Rabbit Featurettes

Visual Effects Documentaries

Preload: On the Set of Reloaded

The Animatrix trailer

More...

see, there are some features that aren't in the Matrix Revisited DVD IMO. Or are those all on the dvd already?

[The Moose]

wee! finally found out that it comes out in NZ on the 14th, that's 2 days away. damn, i'm not going to have enough money to pay for it

[droidguy1119]

Visual Effects Documentaries
The Art Revisited - Still Galleries
The Animatrix: The Second Renaissance Parts 1 and 2
Preload: On the Set of Reloaded

Those are the new features that were on the Matrix SE DVD. Preload is now on Reloaded's DVD, as you should know. Also, you can find the original Matrix theatrical trailer hidden on the Revisited DVD already. But it is lame that both Matrix DVDs lack trailers...I love trailers.

[Baadshah]

how about the rest, it's history right?

[Hitman]

The Matrix Reloaded was one of the best trailers of the year. It's a shame the DVD won't have it. The tv spots were great too.

[Baadshah]

i don't really care about the trailers or the tv spots, has long has there is enough documentaries. Plus, there should be the trailer on the DVD-Rom on the DVD. I'm planning on getting Matrix Revisited at the same time as Reloaded, so i was just wondering if it's a good idea. I don't to but Matrix Revisited if they are planning on bringing out a better version of THE Matrix. There were some features on the supposed Matrix Special Edtion, but will it come out later?

[droidguy1119]

The Matrix: Special Edition, at least in its previously announced form, is completely dead.

It's possible, of course, that in the future, they'll do a new Special Edition, but I really sort of wonder about that -- it seems like the concept behind Revisited was always that since the Matrix DVD has sold so many copies, it would make too many people mad to make a new DVD, and thus, they released Revisited as a stand-alone product.

At least, that makes sense to me. Maybe I'm wrong. I loved Revisited though. I don't think they're going to redo it, I haven't heard any plans like that. The only time I ever heard of it was a) in conjunction with the canceled Matrix SE, and b) even before that, when there was a slim chance Warner would simply repress it with the Terminator 3 trailer.

[Baadshah]

so your saying it's a good idea to get Matrix Revisited, even thought it's old?

[droidguy1119]

Definitely...have you seen it yet? It's a great documentary.

[Baadshah]

i have rented it, but since the dvd is old, and plus with all the stuff that will come out with Reloaded and Revolutions, is it worth it?

[spiderman_2k]

You can pick it up pretty cheap now...If i was you I would get it.

[Baadshah]

ok. Can't wait, i'm happy that the changed the prices for CD's. Now i can buy the Matrix Revolutions CD for like 9 dollars.

Two days left, 48 hours left

look at this ad from Bestbuy, make sure you buy it from there guys, it's cheaper.
http://bestbuy.dailyshopper.com/lib/bestbuy//116721_b.JPG

[Baadshah]

what's weird is that I called Best Buy to check the price for Matrix Revisited, they said $14.99, same as the ad above. But when i check the their site, it's says $9.99. Why is that?

Also, the ad above, why is The Matrix Movie $9.99 when Revisited cost more? Oh well :(

[roboxeno]

hey 15 ant a bad deal

[Baadshah]

ya, but if the website has it for $9.99, why isn't the same at the store :(

[sandman441]

sometimes they make mistakes i got the forever knight dvd's for $25.00 and they recently changed the price to i think 79.99

[droidguy1119]

$15 is a good price. I'm telling you, if you want to know about the making of The Matrix, it's a no-brainer. It rocks. Get it.

[droidguy1119]

Also, if anyone's wondering, buy MxR anywhere, the bonus DVD is full of nothing.

-What is Bullet Time?
-The Second Renaissance Part I
-The Making of the Animatrix

[Baadshah]

where did you get this news from. It's like they have a feature from each Matrix related dvd

[sandman441]

i heard if you but the matrix at fred meyers i don't know if it is just the one here or what but you get a t-shirt

[Shwang]

I have to wait for Tomorrow im gona get it at K-Mart for 15$. if this was BOM it would be full of ppl hating on MXR wow this is nice.

[Baadshah]

i got mine from Best Buy, it came with a free bonus dvd included. Best Buy is the best

[cg124]

i got mine at circuitcity and it was 14.99. although my dad was kind of pissed since he had to wait 20 mins in line since there was only one cashier. anyways the movie is great. i havn't seen the extras yet so i'll have to get back to you on that one. i wish we could have got audio comentary. damn contracts!!!!!!

[Hitman]

^ Exact same scenario except for the long line.

[droidguy1119]

I pre-ordered mine online a long time ago for $13.50 + shipping and handling (which was reduced, so it was $1.00). And, to my happiness, it arrived today, which was a surprise.

Anyway, the DVD is okay. The special features are interesting, but not interesting enough -- Preload is way too short, and most of it is just promotional fluff.

Hopefully there's a "Revisited"-esque doc in the future for "Reloaded" -- while I'll feel ripped off by having to cough up more dough, at least I'd get to see the stuff I wanted to see.

I guess it's not a big deal -- "The Matrix" DVD was the same way. "Reloaded" really loses the points for not having a commentary, even if was Staenberg and Gaeta again...that's better than nothing.

I dunno why the Wachowskis don't do a commentary. They did one for the "Bound" disc.

[jediknight]

I got mine at best buy, glad I picked it up even if they are coming out with an Ultimate edition.

[EvilGil]

I expect someday, there will be an Special Ultimate Edition -I will always miss dts soundtrack included- maybe extended versions for each one, if there are... :evil:

[Baadshah]

what Ultimate Edition? Gosh people, there will never be an ultimate edition. If the industry are smart enough, they would release something like Matrix Revisited

[alfiemoon]

There will surely be a better edition. I rented Reloaded last night and it's an OK DVD, but doesn't live up to the film. There's bound to be a Reloaded/Revolutions double-pack when the time comes. I'm not saying there'll be a commentary, but surely something less bitty than what's on there now. A Revisited-standard DVD is what's required.

It's worth seeing just for the MTV awards skit though.

Also, I couldn't find any easter eggs after trying a bit of button-pressing.

[Baadshah]

what i see in the near future is another Matrix Revisted DVD containing Revolutions and Reloaded. Maybe even a Matrix Revisted 2 and 3. But that will of coarse come out in a way where you can buy them seperately. So in other words, there will be a new special features dvd that will be on sale that will contain Reloaded features documentary. So, they won't release a better version of the Matrix Reloaded

[kel thuzad]

Of course there's gonna be some another Revisited thing...but check out in the other thread droid's vision of ultimate edition...something like that would be so cool...I wouildn't mind paying 100$ for that even though i wouldn't eat for a few days...

[Baadshah]

i wouldn't pay 100 dollars. But the box set cover does look cool though
