After the sequels came out, the original matrix film had a strong green tint added to the whole film that wasn't there with the original release, so it would match up with the very green look of the sequels. I have removed this additional strong green tint added to the Matrix blu-ray transfer, making the film's colour palette far more balanced overall. I have also reduced the contrast to reduce blown out highlights and crushed blacks on the blu-ray transfer to match up better with the image dynamics of the original dvd release of The Matrix, giving the film a more 'filmic' quality.
This 16GB release also includes an impressive DTS-HD audio track not included on the blu-ray that was put together by CapableMetal, Doombot and JetrellFo from originaltrilogy.com. Thank you guys for allowing me to include your great audio track with this release! Those of you (like myself) that felt the True HD and AC3 audio on the blu-ray lacked a bit of umph in the action sequences compared to what you remember from the cinema, especially the blows and impacts in fight scenes, will really enjoy this DTS-HD track.
All details of changes made to the Matrix (1999) blu-ray can be found in the torrent file listing.
English and Spanish subtitles are also included in this release as well as chapter timings from the blu-ray.
