To me I can't really think of anything else that would fit other than multiple Matrix levels or a prequel, maybe just one movie about Morpheus and Trinity searching for Neo. I'd assume between makeup and a little CGI they could get it right, unless they all look older in a sequel. I'm not a big fan of the second and third movie either. The second is ok but third not so great.

Heck it could even be a sequel and prequel in one actually. If they used the Matrix within a Matrix plot, they could have the 'real world' get rebooted as well, leading to everything starting over again from a point where Morpheus exists. If the information about what happened last time can be somehow passed to Morpheus, things can play out much differently this time around leading to a completely different ending. It would basically be a reboot, by using a reboot, but in a legitimate way through the plot.

A Matrix within a Matrix, a reboot within a reboot, and a sequel within a prequel?

In the movies it seems based on what Agent Smith says that things play out fairly similar to how they usually do. The Oracle basically tells Neo he's still not ready to end the Matrix for good this time around. The Architect tells Neo there have been 6 versions of the Matrix and the One already and that he always fails to completely end the Matrix, in which case he does fail again as the Matrix still get's rebooted at the end, so the next version would be lucky number 7. 

If they wanted to be really sneaky, they could potentially start out the prequel potion as a prequel, as far as the audience is concerned anyway, but then follow through by rebooting the trilogy, except it wouldn't exactly be a reboot since it would have to play out differently this time for Neo to truly end the Matrix for good since it's actually the next version.
