The Matrix new transfer made me really sad. It is one of my favorite movies of all time, and this new version had the colors done all wrong and in some scenes, I had the impression that the framerate was wrong, especially the bullet time and other action scenes, like they don't match the rest of the movie.

- wharvle 3y agoThe original dvd release was fine. It was every release after the second movie that “fixed” the first by making its color grading as smash-you-in-the-face green as the sequels (except the newest 4k I’m aware of, which put it back to something resembling the original color grading)
- kranke155 3y agoAh that makes sense. I had the original release and watched it first in DVD - it was the first DVD I ever watched, and it blew me away. I struggle to believe that the 4K restoration matches the theatrical, but I never saw it. But the Colors in it are so digital and garish, I don’t see how that would been how the 35mm film stock would have looked. Now I’m interested in finding out.
