Help: Looking For... The Matrix HDTV Rips

Author

I would like to acquire an HDTV version of The Matrix as the Blu-ray has a far stronger green tint and the UHD Blu-ray has much more saturated skin tones. The HDTV version has similar colors to the initial home video release and is the closest looking to the theatrical release but isn’t exact. Any help would be appreciated.

There’s a 35mm theatrical print scan out there if you know where to look. It’s absolutely fabulous and better than any TV broadcast.

Well I wouldn’t necessarily use the word gorgeous but it is interesting nonetheless

I called it fabulous, but speaking of which gorgeous is a good way to describe it!

Major print damage galore

The 4K transfer is glorious too from a technical standpoint, much better than the LOTR 4K transfers

The 4K I actually think fits the movie the best and some sections actually match the print really well

Status Update: I don’t need the HDTV version anymore. I’ve come around to the UHD in the past two years and trust Bill Pope knows what he’s talking about. The HDTV/DVD is actually very washed out and lacking contrast.
