Matrix Reimagined

It has been over 5 years since I last watched a Matrix movie. I have seen the first one maybe 3 times and the sequels only once. So I was quite fresh when watching this edit.

I too was disappointed by the sequels, but liked the first one a lot, so the premise of this edit seemed very intriguing.

Audio and video editing and quality were overall very good. I knocked a point off from the editing as there were a few "too fast" scene changes - The most noticeable being the first cut to Zion command centre.

Story wise - I did like how NewSpock tried to fit the events that happened insinde the matrix in Matrix 1 to the events that happened outside it during the whole trilogy. Unfortunately it fell a little short. There was something missing... I felt that the added content was too limited, in most places creating more gaps then removing them. Some added things and scenes would have needed more explaining and screen time. Some of the scenes felt a little out of place too - you could notice it's added there. Also the ending did not fit with the added content. I would hope NewSpock will make an "extended" version of this with more content from the sequels and fleshing out more the attack to Zion and Neo's final victory and its effects.

Still, as this edit is mostly Matrix 1, it managed to deliver the same kind of enjoyment I remeber Matrix 1 did for me (and made me watch a fanedit of the sequels to completely see what happened).

It's not my Preferred edit, of The Matrix, I also feel like it didn't really work that well, but I downloaded it and I watched it all the way through because it's mentioned that it concludes the whole story with Neo flying up past the camera, as in the ending of The Matrix 1. That was enough to get me to watch as I feel that Revolutions originally is depressing as hell. The main people I care about is Neo and Trinity, and I didn't watch a whole trilogy just to see them die, and see an underground civilization which didn't seem all that interesting except that they knew how to dance and fly machines (and that's about it), live. Still, I don't feel this edit worked all that well with the integration of the few scenes that are added from the sequels but it's worth watching because it ends the story on a positive note, similar to The Matrix Hacked editions.
