Discos com 35 horas de extras Disco 1- The Matrix
Num futuro próximo, Neo (Keanu Reeves) é um programador de sistemas que tem pesadelos recorrentes, nos quais está sendo alvo de agentes poderosos e sinistros de uma entidade governamental paralela. Mas um dia descobre que tudo isso realmente está acontecendo, que a realidade não é como parece. Na verdade, os computadores tomaram conta do mundo, sugam energia de nossos corpos inertes e alimentam nossas mentes com ilusões virtuais, que acreditamos ser a realidade. E Neo é chamado por um grupo rebelde, entre eles Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) e Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), a desafiar este sistema e libertar os corpos e mentes dos humanos. A trama de ficção científica ganha força com os efeitos especiais e coreografias de luta. O filme ganhou os Oscars de Melhor Edição, Efeitos Visuais, Som e Efeitos Sonoros.

Disco 4- The Animatrix Coleção de animações de artistas japoneses contratados pelos irmão Wachowski. The nine shorts are: "Final Flight of the Osiris," "Kid's Story," "Program," "World Record," "Beyond," "Detective Story," "Matriculated," "The Second Renaissance Part 1" and "The Second Renaissance Part 2." 
Mais um monte de extras : - Audio Commentaries: "Voices" - This is actually four separate subtitled audio commentaries for individual shorts. Filmmaker Mahiro Maeda provides tracks for both parts of 'The Second Renaissance," while Yoshiaki Kawajiri chats up "Program," and Takeshi Koike offers thoughts on "World Record.'
- Featurette: "Scrolls to Screen: The History and Culture of Anime" - A much-needed 22-minute featurette that pays appropriate tribute to the influence anime had on 'The Matrix.' It is also a very valuable educational tool, at least for an anime ignoramus like me -- the origins and shared techniques of the form are explained, and even if I'm still not really into the genre, at least now I can appreciate its origins and its significance.
- Documentary: "Execution" - A seven-part documentary on the making of 'The Animatrix,' short-by-short. The piece runs 55 minutes and includes interviews with all of the filmmakers as well as additional crew, plus behind-the-scenes snippets. The shorts dissected are: 'Final Flight of the Osiris,' 'Kid's Story/Detective Story,' 'Program,' 'World Record,' 'Beyond,' 'Matriculated' and both parts of 'Renaissance.'
Disco 5 E tem mais . 'The Ultimate Matrix Collection' também inclui 'The Matrix Experience," 2 discos com mais uma montanha ce conteúdo. 
- Documentary: "Return to Source: Philosophy & The Matrix" - This hour-long piece trots out a legion of professors, historians and other science-fiction literary types to make the case for the significance of the World According to Neo. Some of the connections these guys pull out are pretty incredible, as they cite everyone from Descartes to Nietzsche to Plato, as well as compare sections of the films to both the Old and New Testament, the Koran and the Book of Revelations. Your tolerance for "Return to Source" will likely vary based on your beliefs, and though I admit I snickered more than once, it's fascinating how passionate the supporters of the Matrix are in their beliefs.
- Documentary: "The Hard Problem: The Science Behind the Fiction" - One of the key thematic devices of the Matrix technology is the fusion -- and fight -- of man and machine. Another army of experts and pundits are brought out to analyze the history of emo-tech, though the 60-minute "The Hard Problem" doesn't really use 'The Matrix' as a jumping off point for these ideas. Instead, it's more of a History Channel-esque scientific journey of man's growing reliance on machines and where the future of artificial intelligence may lead us. This is certainly the most cursory documentary on the entire 'Ultimate Matrix Collection,' but a nice respite from all the more technical making-of material.
Disco 6 e 7 (documentário de múltiplas partes + galerias de fotos + montagens + prévias + trailers e mais...) 
- Multi-Part Documentary: "The Burly Man Chronicles" - Much as 'The Matrix Revisited' was to 'The Matrix,' this 95-minute production diary of the four-year shoot of the two sequels is quite exhaustive. Yet, amazingly, there is nary any repetition with the other material on the set. Technical nitty-gritty is largely jettisoned in favor of the arduous task of conceiving and conceptualizing back-to-back sequels, the rigors of the cast in trying to comprehend and articulate the vision of the Wachowskis, and of course the huge commercial expectations that bore heavily on the minds of the filmmakers and the studio. I personally preferred this single, comprehensive documentary over all the little bits and pieces on the stand-alone discs.
Note that because 'The Matrix Experience' discs are just standard DVDs, they include the same navigation and additional "branching" content as the previously-released DVD version of 'The Ultimate Matrix Collection.' Thus, "The Burly Man Chronicles" again has a "Follow the White Rabbit" option. There are three branching segments (82 minutes total) you can access at specific points during the program, by clicking the "Enter" button on your remote when the white rabbit icon appears on the screen. The three bonus segments are: "Pre-Production" (32 min.), "Alameda Shoot" (16 min.) and "Australia Shoot" (34 min.
- Still Gallery: "Zion Archive" - An absolutely massive still gallery that has to be seen to be believed. Simply put, it the most extensive such assemblage I've ever seen on any DVD or high-def release, hands down. There are over a thousand stills -- yes, a thousand -- enough that fans could go pour through this stuff for days. Unfortunately, the navigation is frequently annoying. Though the material broken down into five obvious categories -- "Storyboards," "Characters," "Ships," "Machines" and "Sets" -- the menu text is often convoluted and weirdly inaccessible. By this point, after spending days wading through this set, I'd long since tired of all the arcane 'Matrix'-speak. And again, it's a disappointment that none of these many, many gorgeous pieces of conceptual and storyboard art have been upgraded to high-def resolution.
- Montage: "Rave Reel" - This is a 9-minute montage of clips from all three 'Matrix' movies, but since the rave scene in 'Reloaded' is considered by many fans to be the low point of the series, perhaps putting the words "rave" and "Matrix" together one more time really seems like a bad idea.
- Matrix Online Preview - This is dated -- a 10-minute sneak peek at an online gaming version of the "Enter the Matrix" game that has probably long since been forgotten.
- Promotional Gallery - Finally, 'The Matrix Experience' concludes with a collection of all the same theatrical teasers, trailers, TV spots and music videos that have already been included on the stand-alone discs for each film.
