Bullet-time, Agent Smith, the Sentinels, the Nebuchanezzar, the dead city, the human farm, the kung-fu fight in the dojo, the gun-battle in the foyer, the helicopter exploding... even at the ripe old age of two, the Wachowski brothers' high-tech, kick-ass adreno-sci-fi flick still wipes the linoleum with allcomers.
DVD Extras:
The Matrix Revisited documentary, Behind-the-scenes footage from The Matrix 2, five mini documentaries, The Dance Of The Master fight footage, DVD-ROM features, easter eggs.The original DVD for The Matrix is still one of the best available - crammed with info and cutting-edge techie stuff, it seems to have everything there is to know about the film. Seems? Well, yes... because when you watch the two-hour-plus making of documentary on The Matrix Revisited (also available on its own for £12.99), you realise that there's sooooo much more stuff. Not only does it have a ton of extra detail - more training footage, fantastic cast and crew interviews, insights into behind-the-scenes politics - they've also structured it into a pretty gripping (if occasionally adverty) documentary story. Throw in the mini-docs, assorted digi-toys and veiled revelations about the next two films (three words: "car chases" and "swords") and you should be heading for the shops before this sentence even finishes. What are you waiting for? Go!
