The Matrix Reloaded gets a 4K release concurrently with The Matrix Revolutions (which is covered in my next review). As stated from my Matrix review, I've yet to get a 4K TV but in lieu of that we still enjoy a remastered Blu-ray sourced from the 4K transfer. Again, Reloaded gets its special features in its own disc, again in 480p, but with 1 BIG hiccup: the teaser, trailer, and TV spots were inexplicably omitted from the disc. This burns me quite a bit, as those trailers were so mind-blowing to see for the first time after long delays in film production. Aside from that, the discs are housed in Best Buy's exclusive SteelBook similarly on par with the first movie.

Not just a pretty SteelBook, nor just a double-dip

The Matrix finally arrives in 4K. As of now, I don't yet have a 4K TV, but am pleased to say the Blu-ray included is sourced from the 4K and not just a rehash of the film's prior Blu-ray release; so we're still able to enjoy quite gorgeous image quality. All special features from the original Blu-ray are now separated on its own Blu-ray disc, but sadly are still in 480p leaving quite a lot of disc space wasted. All 3 discs are housed in Best Buy's exclusive SteelBook that were beautifully printed on along with some spot-glossing on the Matrix ‘coding.’ Overall, a solid package.
