In honor of the 20th anniversary of The Matrix, the 1999 scifi-action film starring Keanu Reeves will be returning to select theaters for one week only later this month.
For this limited run, the Wachowski siblings-directed movie has been restored in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos and will be screening exclusively at over 135 AMC Dolby Cinema theaters across the country starting August 30, 2019.
Check out the new 20th anniversary poster for the Warner Bros. film’s upcoming return to theaters, as well as the new trailer here below.
I got the chance to take in an advanced screening on Thursday night of Marvel’s new film Doctor Strange, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, at a Dolby Cinema at the AMC Theatres in New York City. Before the movie began, representatives from Dolby gave a presentation demonstrating their Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos technologies, and how their Dolby Total Cinema Experience compares to the standard theater-going experience. And I have to say, I was very impressed. Below are my thoughts on the Dolby Cinema experience and technologies, details from the demonstration, and then my two cents about Doctor Strange itself.
On this week’s show, Google wants to put Google Play in every living room and on your mobile devices (and they’ve built a tablet to do just that), Apple wins some, loses some, and puts podcasts in their place.
But first, the headlines…Amazon creates content to compete with Netflix, Microsoft buys Yammer for $1.2 B, Zynga launches “Zynga With Friends,” and Facebook changes your email.
