I'll be honest - I thought it was VERY promising, if a bit rough ... until the ending. I even liked what you did moving the Architect's scenes, though I wasn't sure what you were going to do about Trinity ... and then I got my answer. It was very close to being my definitive Matrix 2/3 edit, too ... but the last minute and a half or so ruined it.

It's original, no doubt about that, and upon reflection I might think differently about it. I think it might benefit from being re-shot with a different actor, but you'd never get the quality you'd want from it.

It might just need to sink in, especially since I'm so used to the original ending (which I was actually kind of fond of).
