Yes. The version on Netflix is apparently unaltered (I didn't bother to check) they applied a greenish filter on the first movie once the sequels released. People hated it
The original DVD release also came in an unaltered state as they were released before the sequel. It was among the first generation of DVDs were they still weren't certain what casing design to use (my copy has a cardboard casing, some were all hard plastic like CDs etc) I would post a Pic but unfortunately it's buried in some box at my brother's house
This is true, this is what it looked like. Still greenish and blue but not to the extent it was later.
im unfortunately old enough to have seen the Matrix in Theaters. It was always green you liar. I remember distinctly thinking in the theater they must have screwed the colors up or its a weird style choice until i later read on the internet what the point of the green tint was.
I did too, it is green but not as much as the dvd release and it wasn't as blue as OPs pic. It's an in-between. I also had the matrix on VHS and when I got the trilogy dvd boxset I thought there might be something wrong as it was so much more green.

What the OP said wasn't that in the past it was as his picture... no, he provided a recent digital scan of the film which shows is at it was shot before mastering, the director is the one that said " I like the green tint " on the mastering display and hence why u saw that in the theater.
whoever scanned it actively tried to remove the green tint from the entire movie. there's color crush/corruption in a couple places and the first scene shows the cop's flashlight turn from greenish to bluish.
So those are "film" scans by random users not by companies that had access to the ones used before mastering in the studio?

i saw it opening day, green tint. yes, these "film scans" are random people who are, for whatever reason, color correcting out the green tint.

Best as I can tell, I saved this from MySpleen - the .nfo included the below album for screengrabs, I can upload screenshots too.

If I recall correctly, even on this release there's debate over the color timing compared to the Russian telecine that OP shared to start the thread.
Actually, OP's release is just the MySpleen one renamed - checksum identical files. The same group did a great 35mm scan of Jurassic Park; for that one, there's also 'superwide open matte' floating around where you can see the edge of the set/production equipment in certain shots, shit's hilarious
Which one gives the best feel tho? Never seen the Matrix.
I'd recommend either this one/OP's or the most recent 4K release. The 35mm scan comes with the original Cinema DTS track, which is significantly louder and more dynamic than the modern mix. That said, there's some pretty noticeably crushed blacks + I feel the picture is a little too-blue leaning at times; the most recent 4K addresses that.
OP's is a 35mm telecine, so it's from a theatrical release print. The 4K comes from the original studio master (presumably the camera negative or an early, well-kept print).
>The same group did
what other movies have they done? i want a pulp fiction copy that looks gritty and filmic as frick, not softened, denoised or digitally remastered
I've got Ghostbusters, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park (regular aspect + the open matte), Star Trek 3/4, Fifth Element and True Lies currently on my drive, not sure if they did any others. All identical .nfo and tagging formats so I'm assuming it's the same group.
It's 1080p and x264 MPEG-4 encoded, it's just particularly high bitrate to preserve the grain structure. So long as your hard drive can transfer the data fast enough (and unless it's failing, it should), even the iGPU should handle it fine. Not aware of any smaller encodes of this one; I feel like you'd either lose the grain or turn much of it into a blocky mess if you tried to compress it too much, but you could probably get away with a ~12GB rip.

You may be seeing things. Consider that the dvd release also lacked the tint which proves the studio films exist which lack the tint.
Also what this guy said nails it:

you can verify the fact the movie was originally tinted green in the myspleen release in the opening shot, the cop's flashlight changes color from green, to blue.
Blue is the color of all that I wear

this is a shoop. i can tell from some of the pixels
post more screen shots or webms pls
this scan has some color issues though, like the crushed blacks in the OP pic
that's what print stock looked like a lot of the time, it's not an artifact of the scanner. movies used to look surprisingly dark in theaters.
its really pronounced if you try to take something that, for example, is tinted green, and "color correct" that tint out.

Shut the frick up zoomer
Are you moronic?
Not moronic enough to believe you were actually there.
What the frick, which shooting was this?
I've never see this... But makes me even more convinced the Tarrant shooting video was a psy OP
why did he shoot the white woman in front of the store but then spare a white man at the counter?
LOL HOLY SHIT
I wish I had a camera with me at the theater
My original release DVD has a blue tint too
The cover to the film on vhs even had blue tint to it which got made green on later format releases
That's nothing. Originally, the two film makers were male.
kek
yes the og has a blue tint but the sequels had a green tint and then they changed the first one to match
>yes the og has a blue tint but the sequels had a green tint and then they changed the first one to match
this is not true
it is on the dvd box art 😉
what was it i missed it
Yea but that's not what the director might've intended, the director has the last say.
no, the producer does
Maybe with trash movies and no name directors. But that's scummy as frick.
they un-greened the hbo max version of the film
This is true, this is what it looked like. Still greenish and blue but not to the extent it was later.

The one you shared or the OPs?
any of them that claim to be film scans without a green tint.
So those are "film" scans by random users not by companies that had access to the ones used before mastering in the studio?
I think there's a piece of trivia online that confirms the green tint was added later on the the theater edition and hence these efforts.

This is what it looked like in the kinoplex.
I still think it's a little off but close. You can find the original trailers.
check the first scene of the movie, cop with the flashlight, you can see that whoever scanned the 35mm print color corrected out a green tint.

Is OP's the most recent 4k?
Also anyone bothered to encode this as 1080p?
OP's is a 35mm telecine, so it's from a theatrical release print. The 4K comes from the original studio master (presumably the camera negative or an early, well-kept print).
I've got Ghostbusters, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park (regular aspect + the open matte), Star Trek 3/4, Fifth Element and True Lies currently on my drive, not sure if they did any others. All identical .nfo and tagging formats so I'm assuming it's the same group.
I know why it is 4k but I was asking if someone did a 1080p encoding because I run on an iGPU and have a 1080p screen anyway.
It's 1080p and x264 MPEG-4 encoded, it's just particularly high bitrate to preserve the grain structure. So long as your hard drive can transfer the data fast enough (and unless it's failing, it should), even the iGPU should handle it fine. Not aware of any smaller encodes of this one; I feel like you'd either lose the grain or turn much of it into a blocky mess if you tried to compress it too much, but you could probably get away with a ~12GB rip.
do you have screencaps of the ghostbuster one? and filename?
