I just gave the Ultimate Matrix HD DVDs to my sister and her family. She liked the first one all right. I think her husband liked the whole series more than her overall, though. My mom liked them more than any of us, though, and since they can now play Blu-rays, I'll probably get her the Ultimate Matrix collection on Blu-ray for her birthday later this month. It was disappointing that the Animatrix stuff was in standard definition in the HD DVD set. I'm glad they upgraded them to HD for this release. I'll probably borrow those ones from my mom, just to see how they look.
