Dredd: Digest Edition

Judgment:

While this edit had a few narrative holes because of all the material cut and rearranged, it was still an enjoyable and well-executed abridged version of 2012's "Dredd." Recommended.

This is a pretty good "straight to the point" edit that removes the subplot of the corrupt judges, although I still prefer the original.

Really great short of one of the few great comic book films in the last decade. While the original Stallone flick is completely forgettable, 2012's Dredd was a fantastic film, and Rogue manages to distill all the grit and tone of the film into a short. A great watch, no noticeable cuts and very very entertaining. Excellent stuff.

I watched this awhile ago and forgot to write a review. So I watched it again. And here's the review:

Very, very well done! Rogue set out to make a 30 minute version of Dredd, and he accomplished just that. There are no plot holes, continuity errors or anything like that. If someone who hadn't seen the original film watched this, they wouldn't realize anything was cut. Well, yeah they probably would have, because it's 30 minutes long and is divided into two parts. Normal movies aren't like that.

Anyway before I saw Dredd I was almost entirely unfamiliar with the character. Now, because of Dredd, I am a bit more familiar. Does this edit satisfy comic fans? No idea. But I'd like to think so. I don't know why it wouldn't. If you liked the theatrical version, you'll like this. I don't know if you'll like it more, though. Next time I feel like watching Dredd, I'll probably just watch the original version. But, if I'm in a crunch for time, I know I'll watch this. Because this digest is a fun fest.

Long term Dredd fan. I was really curious how you could really edit down a 90minute film into a 27....

Does he do it? Hell yes! I was really surprised and in all honesy I didn't think he'd be able to do it, but yes he does.

The editing is superior, I did watch an earlier version that did have a few holes in it, but the later version patched these all up. Things play out slightly differently in this edit from the original film, but it all works and it is seemless.

Wanna watch Dredd and only have 30 mins? Then watch this version.
