The green tint was always there, but was more subtle and the "Matrix" sections had also washed up colors. It become way more obvious in Reloaded/Revolutions and for the BD version they used the same color grading to contrast reality/real world sections in all three movies.
- Kranar 5y agoThe green tint was not part of the original theatrical release. The green tint was used in the sequels and then added back to the DVD/Blu Ray release of the original movie. You can go on Youtube and watch trailers for the original theatrical release and compare them to clips posted from later DVD releases. For example here is a comparison of the original theatrical trailer to a fan made trailer using clips off of the DVD using the infamous "Guns... lots of guns..." scene: https://youtu.be/tGgCqGm_6Hs?t=91 https://youtu.be/tGgCqGm_6Hs?t=91 To this: https://youtu.be/atqOCj3qzzA?t=110 https://youtu.be/atqOCj3qzzA?t=110 You can compare other scenes as well, it's clear the original film had no green tint and in fact I personally like it better without the tint.
- enkid 5y agoTrailers often have radically different things then the theaterical releases. That can be scenes, tinting, or sounds, so simply having a trailer with a different tint does not prove how it was originally shown.
- ricardobeat 5y agoThe original is strongly 'green & teal' tinted, as you can see in the first video. According to this in-depth video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEdgmNZnLs4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEdgmNZnLs4, both the theater release and the first DVD version had way more green than the BR ones (see 5:45).
