Could 'The Animatrix' end up being another 'vertically filtered' disappointment?

[Bobby Henderson]

Considering the high price WB is wanting for The Ultimate Matrix Collection I think the studio should do more than simply port over the previous HD-DVD VC-1 encodes to Blu-ray. They'll catch some flak for doing it.

Additionally, studios like Paramount are raising the bar for "catch-up" releases on Blu-ray. It's obvious Paramount ditched the previous HD-DVD encode for Beowulf and put together and entirely new one for Blu-ray, judging by the high bit rates seen on the disc. Transformers is another movie getting a unique, high bit rate encode for Blu-ray.

The animation files for The Animatrix can be re-rendered to 1080p/4K if a 1080p master does not exist.

"1080p/4K?" I'm confused by how that is written.

1080p and 4K are two entirely different levels of image resolution. 1080p and 2K are more closely related.
