TwinIon Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 AMC is celebrating the 20th anniversary of The Matrix by having screenings in all their Dolby Cinema theaters from 8/30 through 9/5. I never actually saw the film in theaters, so I'm excited to get a chance. When first announced showings filled up pretty fast, but I noticed that my local theater just added some new showtimes, so I was able to get a great seat for a screening tomorrow. I'm not aware of them having done any special work to show it in HDR or ATMOS, but I imagine it'll still be a worthwhile viewing. Especially with a fourth film just announced, anyone else taking the opportunity to revisit The Matrix? Quote
silentbob Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 In all honesty I don’t need to go waste money on something I have at home. It has been showing on tv pretty often as well. I have bought the series 5 time (DVD twice, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, and 4K) Plus I use to do some of these special presentations and half where with a blu-ray player and disc. Probably just up them to UHD players and discs, but how many theatres can do 4K, HDR, and Atmos. I also doubt they would give up a premium theatres price for a re-release, and IT Chapter 2 will be out. Quote

They picked this week in particular because there isn’t anything worth putting in those screens until IT next week Quote

One ticket to The Matrix alone is $20. Quote
silentbob Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 Sorry read the date wrong. My bad, and so maybe WB would make an actual HDD or digital download to your server Quote

My bad, and so maybe WB would make an actual HDD or digital download to your server It’s 100% an actual DCP. Dolby made a new Dolby Vision transfer and a full Atmos track. I saw a few scenes at Cinemacon back in March and it looks and sounds fantastic, at least the sequences they showed off. Quote
Greatoneshere Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I just came in to say that while I won't be going to this, I saw the movie when it was in theaters in 1999 and it was one of the best movie experiences of my life. I must have seen it in theaters at least a few more times after that, something I almost never do. It is one of the best movies of all time. Quote
TheLeon Posted August 28, 2019 Posted August 28, 2019 I would probably do this (after signing up for A List, most likely) if I hadn’t bought the Blu Ray and rewatched it earlier this summer. Quote

I literally just watched the BD a week ago because if its 20th anniversary. Haha. Quote
