Sifer is right Neo is definitely wearing a blindfold in the trailer he is also awake and he nails a sentinel using his new power. I am assuming that this is after Trinity rescues Neo's mind that is trapped in the Matrix being held by the Mero. But methinks that because of the sentinel incident at the end of reloaded when Neo eventually gets out of the Matrix and wakes up in the real world he is blind. Obviously being blind in the real world doesn't effect him when he is jacked into the matrix.
It's just a theory I have from watching the various revolutions trailer. I'll explain why. I think that Neos mind is trapped in the Matrix because he is the opposite of Smith and Smith is trapped in the real world in Bane. I believe that Trinity has to go and save Neo. I believe that the Mero has got Neo because in the trailers Trin and Morph are kicking shit in the Mero's club Hell. It must be the Mero's club cos it shows Trin fighting somebody upside down on the roof, clearly an vamp type program, got to be one of the Mero's crew. More proof that the Mero has Neo is that one trailer shows Trin with her gun to the Mero's head with Persephone in the background. The Mero is asking her "Are you willing to die for this man?", what other man would Trinity be willing to die for? So at some point in the movie presumably after all this has happened Neo and Trinity get out of the Matrix because in the latest trailer it shows them both in a hovercraft, notably without Morpheus hmm..., flying at some sentinels Neo does his new power and gets one of the sentinels. As he turns around Neo is clearly wearing a blindfold this to me could be to emphasise the fact that he is blind in the real world, but as I said above when he is jacked into the Matrix this would not matter. Err... I don't think I missed anything, as I said just purely theoretical but I hope you can see how I came to these conclusions and If not I suggest you watch some Revolutions trailers.
SiriusBlackRIP> I take it you haven’t played Enter the Matrix? In it we learn that Neos mind touched the Source, and is trapped somewhere between the real world and the Matrix.
And only Trinity can save him.
But perhaps Neo isn’t blind as such. Maybe his “mind=digital self” is still sitting in the Source somewhere, and can short-circuit the sentinels from there. So Neo is blind-folded so as to not get totally confused at having two sets of visions. One would see an awful lot of machine code, the other would be looking out the window of the hovercraft.
But how do the two Neos (the real and the virtual) communicate?? Perhaps it’s as easy as wireless? We always see the protagonists in the Matrix plucking out their cool phones and speaking directly to the operator, so wireless does work. Maybe Neos digital self is simply able to communicate with his real self in the same way… Hmmm, that makes sense to me now.
well
Keep in mind that the trailer doesn't necessarily involve putting things in the correct order, in fact I think they deliberately throw things around to put things out of synch.
Certain things we know from the trailer.
The mero wants the oracle's eyes in exchange for Neo (why we do not know)
Some hobo smacks up Neo (former one maybe?)
Neo talks to what seems to be the AI leader.
Neo seems to be blind (and it seems there is blood above the blindfold, like he had cut out his eyes...)
Neo is in some psuedo (orange) middle world killing Sentinels.
Now, what order would this probably take place?
I can't help but think the sentinel killing spree is after all the mero stuff, and he's trying to get to the one member of the AI whose not completely dictated by preset instructions.
I'm guessing he requires the AI to recondition the matrix to create suitable environmental conditions for him to defeat smith for good, you see a machine plugging Neo into the matrix (those weird prongy things look like the machine that unplugged him in the first 1, not like the human pirate connections)
