Say goodbye to Link's family, farewell to Bane, c'est la vie to the new Oracle, adios to all the boring elements of Zion!

Eliminate the entire Bane plot thread
Eliminate the entire new Oracle plot thread
Eliminate all unnecessary Zion scenes

Decoded title added to opening title sequence
Opening of the movie following title sequence picks up immediately after "The Animatrix: The Last Transmission of the Osiris" ends using live action scenes from the "Enter the Matrix" video game. All added scene from "Enter the Matrix" have been upconverted to 1080p, color corrected, sharpened, and had a custom 5.1 surround sound mix added.
Special effects of The Logos in flight have been replaced by The Nebuchadnezzar from the original Matrix
Neo's dream of Trinity dying has been removed and replaced with a vision of the machines digging their way to Zion
Reduced Morpheus and Link's first conversation about "trust"
Neo and Trinity no longer speak of missing The Oracle
Morpheus's speech to the other captains has been changed to indicate he never intended to return to Zion instead he will seek out the Oracle and then accept his punishment when he returns
Neo no longer visits the home of The Oracle
An entirely new sequence has been generated using existing footage to show Niobe returning to Zion instead of the Nebuchadnezzar, we briefly are introduced to the city and witness a conversation between Lock and Niobe. We then return to Neo seeking the Oracle. A large amount of footage is cut from Zion, no Zee, no Bane, no Neo as Jesus, no Morpheus and Lock argument, no dancing, etc etc
Neo and Sereph's fight has been removed
Neo and The Oracle's conversation is altered to remove his concerns about Trinity and to add an overall concern about what he's supposed to do next. The theme of "difference between knowing the path and walking the path" has been emphasized in this edit to better match the original Matrix
Agent Smith's first meeting with Neo has been shortened slightly for pacing
The burly brawl has been shortened in 2 places for pacing
No shot of Trinity at the end of The Burly Brawl this shot has been saved for the ending
Lock's first meeting with The Zion Council has been reduced to remove Bane and Lock's reaction to Niobe choosing to leave
Cut Neo seeing Rama-Kandra in the Merovingian's restaurant
The Merovingian doesn't tout the virtues of the French
Much of The Merovingian's speech has been reduced for pacing
Persephone kiss scene has been removed as well as her killing the random henchman
The chateau fight has been reduced for pacing
Several cuts during the highway chase have been made for pacing
Some footage of the machines digging has been removed due to it being used earlier in the movie
The tower to the source sequence has been dramatically changed, no Smith, no Trinity entering The Matrix, no bomb, no rooftop save, the meeting with the Architect is reworked.
"The prophecy was a lie" conversation has been relocated to later in the film
Neo doesn't have to save the crew from the sentinels, he has no power over machines in the outside world in this edit
The next several scenes play out completely differently in this edit. The first hour of The Matrix Revolutions is completely removed
Added and reedited a scene from later in the film where Lock and the Zion Council meet to discuss the coming doom
Revolutions scenes that show the train station, The Merovingian, The Oracle, Satii, etc have all been removed completely and you'd never miss them
Scenes are completely restructured so that the Hammer crew, the Logos crew, and the Neb crew can all regroup quickly after the Neb is destroyed
The prophecy is a lie conversation has been moved here
The scene where Zee makes shells has been eliminated
Neo has a vision of Smith assimilating the Oracle and taking over The Matrix, this is his reason for going to the machine city in this edit
The slow pan of the oracle's apartment has been reinserted from the beginning of the movie to serve this edit
Gloria Foster is restored briefly from "The Matrix" so that Smith can assimilate her. This edit was inspired by "The Matrix Hacked Reloaded". Mary Alice's face is not seen in this edit. This scene has been recolored to better match the coloring of Reloaded and Revolutions
Some of the conversation in the next several scenes have been eliminated or changed to better fit the events and themes of the edit
Bane has been completely removed
Countless edits were made to the battle for Zion including but not limited to: all scenes with Zee and most of the infantry have been removed, Captain Mifune saves the day and opens the gate instead of Kid, action has been kept tight and intense, the battle quickly gets out of hand for humanity. This is my favorite sequence of edits and I hope you enjoy it!
Removed Councilor Hamann's reference to Niobe speaking to The Oracle
Cut several scenes building up hopelessness for the finale to help with pacing, believe me things are already plenty desperate enough!
Neo and Trinity's flight to the machine city has been completely reworked, this is where Neo gets his eye injury in this edit
Neo doesn't use telekinetic powers to stop the machines during their flight to the machine city
Neo doesn't instruct Trinity how to restart The Logos
Trinity is alive?!?
Zee is eliminated
Several cuts made to Neo's walk to Deus Ex Machina for pacing
Several cuts made to the final Smith Neo battle. In my edit Neo wins out of his sheer force of will not to give up. He chooses to keep getting up and fighting which infuriates Smith into making his final mistake. Additional edits have been made to reduce unnecessary air flipping and silly effects
Trinity is seen watching Neo in The Matrix and later repairing the ship
The Oracle does not speak through Smith
The ending is completely reworked, a montage of scenes roll behind the credits. Closure for Morpheus, Niobe, The Architect, Trinity, Zion celebrates, and what will become of our hero?
