Posted on IFDB:

Similar to CTRTL's edit of RELOADED, this edit of REVOLUTIONS is a fairly straightforward cut with nothing groundbreaking but a lot of nice minor edits. Video/Audio quality and editing is excellent, as the only thing that hints at this being a fanedit are the beginning and ending credits. While the Hacked edits are still my favorite, CTRTL's edits are a nice choice if you prefer something a little less ambitious.

8/10

EDIT: I see that neither CTRTL matrix edit is available on info. If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll see about a re-upload.
