My intention for this Fanedit:
There are quite a few edits of the two ‘Matrix’ sequels available. I had noticed though, that most of these seemed pretty intent on editing together amalgamated storylines from ‘The Matrix Reloaded’ and ‘The Matrix Revolutions’, and enhancing them with elements from ‘The Animatrix’ and ‘Enter The Matrix’. It occurred to me that nobody had actually done a proper extended version of ‘The Matrix Reloaded’, but where the original base movie was not edited in anyway, and only the extended elements were added into it.

I am an extended edition buff and have a big collection of original ones and all the fanedits from here.
Many extended editions do not add anything to the movie, just add more useless scenes. I will rate the ones here.
Rating criteria: image quality, sound quality, 3x improvement, overall.
Image Quality: 8 of 10
Sound Quality: 8 of 10
Improvement: 5 of 10
Overall: 6 of 10

It does what it says: extends Reloaded with more bloated footage. Not my cup of tea. Sorry.
