I haven't had a chance to read through this entire thread just yet, just wondering if anyone's taken on doing a preservation of The Matrix. I see the disc on the list and I had been happy with it's home release audio, but this is a movie that had its color changed somewhere between the theatrical release and it's home video HD release. Some horrible green filters were added. Having gone to the theater quite a few times to see The Matrix, I vividly remember the colors being more red/blue shifted than what was on the HD-DVD and Blu-ray. My copy on LD looks closer to what I remember in the theater, but a 2.39:1 movie on LD leaves lots of detail out. There's also a TV version of the movie in HD that looks close, but with a bit of DNR -- that one is not matted to 2.39:1 either. Would be pretty cool to attempt a version that combines the Cinema DTS audio with a color corrected HD version of the film. Any other details on the original color scheme?

I have actually released a regraded version of The Matrix that removes the blanket green tint on the blu-ray, bringing back the reds and blues and reduces the over the top contrast of the blu-ray. The 16gb version also includes the cinema DTS. You should check it out.

You can find it on tehparadox, search for 'regraded the matrix 16gb' and it should pop up.
