Synopsis:
For me the sequels are a major disappointment after the awesome Matrix 1-movie. So over the time the question arised in me: What if Matrix 1 had no sequels? Using mere 15 minutes from the sequels, it was possible for me to reframe Matrix 1 and finish the story within Matrix 1.
Intentions:
I simply love Matrix 1. It's a great cyberpunk-thriller that revolutionised the action/sciencefictiongenre. I went three times into the movie in the first weeks when it was still in cinemas and I couldn't await the sequel. Back then I couldn't imagine that the sequels would be anything but awesome... but they weren't. Matrix 1 was imho just perfect as it was, so I just kept rewatching that one, and only seldomly watching the sequels. Still, Matrix 1 is not complete, the fate of Zion was still open. So using 15 minutes from the sequels I synched the fate of Zion with the struggle of Neo becoming the one and to bring it to a conclusion within Matrix 1.
Change List:
I cut 255 minutes from the sequels, so I ended up with merely 15 minutes from the sequels, which I used to reframe Matrix 1, so that it would end as a stand-alone-movie with no need for sequels.
