I know all that, but the buyer didn't pay me enough to use recorded (I think it's £36 now as well, as it's 100x the cost of a 1st class stamp). I have a certificate of posting, but it's not until you actually try to make a claim that you realise how difficult they make it for you. You have to wait fifteen working days, have proof of posting and an original receipt showing the value of the item. Yeah, 'cause I keep receipts for stuff I've bought indefinitely... They're f**ktards.

I'll just stick to my 10 disc box set thanks - loved the movie but no worth the double dip

this is awesome, since all i want is this one, and not the other two

already got the boxset.

So it remastered? I remember there being a few minor specks and a couple of minor instances of edge enhancement on the other Blu-ray.

Funny how everyone asked for this to be released on its own and yet there are loads of complaints about it being a rip off without the other two. It's good for the people who just like the first film, although the trilogy is so cheap you might as well just buy that. Unless you sell it and Royal Mail lose it, in which case you'll be out of pocket to the tune of £26 like I am. F**king Royal Mail b*****ds!

I felt EXACTLY the same.

I vaguely recall the actor who played the character Cypher on some talk show before The Matrix came out, saying how great the movie was and how it was gonna blow Episode 1 away. I thought he was nuts. He turned out to be absolutely right.

What a sad irony then, that the Matrix sequels turned out to have the same stiffness, poor dialogue, bad acting and excessive CGI as the Star Wars prequels.

Wow, it was 1999 and I still remember this coming out about two months before Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.  To think, I totally dismissed this film as more Keanu Reeves cyberpunk garbage in the vein of Johnny Mnemonic and thought Episode I would easily run away with the best Sci-Fi movie crown that year......Boy, was I wrong, LOL.......  

10 years. Christ.

Almost 25 years since "Ghostbusters". Where's the uber-spectacular re-release of THAT??

I was stoked when I first heard (or read) that Warners would be releasing a standalone edition. Then I was promptly annoyed to discover it would be one of those damn digibook thingys - my OCD demands that everything be uniform!....But seriously, I'm getting tired of all these gimicky packaging ideas. First we get lenticulars and slipcovers, now these stupid things. Honestly, is it too much to ask for a simple standard blu-ray case?...On the plus side, I will give them points for the artwork. I actually kinda dig it, I just think they should have utilized the color green somewhere, preferably for the code. It is a major aspect of the film's visual identity, after all...

Anyway, I also agree the first one is the only one worth viewing more than once, let alone owning. The second two films blew harder than Dizzy Gillespie with an ear infection...but then, I guess that's what happens when a movie becomes an unexpectedly massive hit and Hollywood decides they need to find a way to milk that cash cow into a full-blown trilogy.

That is a pretty awesome cover, even though I have no intention of buying it because I don't have a BluRay player.

Is is going to have a case, or be stuck in that book?  Also, are the others getting individual releases as well?  I passed on the set a while ago, I may go with individuals.

Wow.. ten years!!!!!

Anyways..decent cover art but I plan on getting the trilogy anyways.

Not really. It's never been released on it's own on BD before and for that matter the Remastered version is still only available in the DVD box set.

The sequels are awful. I've waited ages for just the first film on BD.

It doesn't say anything about new features, it's probably just the "follow-the-rabbit" type, "click while you watch" stuff.  Looks good though, I'll pick it up to avoid paying for the whole trilogy.

I refuse to believe that after the 10-disc set there is anything left to say about this film, whether it's interesting or dull.

Whatever could the new special features possibly be?

Also, still think the original poster art on the original release is the best artwork.  Certainly preferable to this latest effort.
