Which Box Set Should I Get?

[kmccleave]

I'm looking to get either the X-Men Trilogy or Matrix Trilogoy box set soon. Both are about the same price, these days.

Going on Picture and Sound alone, which would be better purchase?

THE MATRIX set is orgasmic and mammoth. Between the two (and the X-MEN set is certainly no slouch), it towers supreme...

Just for PQ and AQ I would say The Matrix. For the movies, it would be X-Men.

Matrix. Never was a fan of the Xmen movies after 1.

Thanks for the input. I know The Matrix has all of those extras, even though I don't really watch them.

Of course this means I'll have to buy extra storage for my movies.

The X-Men Trilogy has loads of supplements and great AQ and PQ. The Matrix is superior in PQ, though, so it all comes down to which series you enjoy more.

Personally, I would rethink this strategy and go for the movies you love first, then look at picture and sound. I wouldn't want to be stuck with a clunker just because it looked great.

Assuming you like both sets of movies equally I'd vote for X-men (but then I don't even care much for the 2nd & 3rd Matrix movies). X-men has a lot more variety in lighting and color palette. The Matrix films are darker and, even though they look great, they use unusual tinting to depict whether you are viewing the "Matrix" or the real world. As far as sound the Matrix movies may have an edge, but I'm not really sure.

I'd have to say Matrix just based on the Animatrix being included in the set.
