“”Matrix Revisited”” is a documentary that not only covers “”The Matrix,”” but also gives a sneak preview of upcoming sequels. The documentary is almost two hours long and goes into detail about the making of the original film. From the initial idea of the “”The Matrix”” to the upcoming anime shorts, the DVD captures the creative brainstorming of the crew and cast of “”The Matrix.””

With tidbits such as Keanu Reeves acting with a spinal injury and the actors’ martial-arts preparation, the disc seems more like a secondary DVD that is now included in many special two-DVD sets.

This brings up the monetary issue: If you’re not into “”The Matrix”” or you’re not a hard-core fan, then this DVD is not worth buying. But it does make a decent rental.
