In terms of the story, it works and it achieves the stated goals of the editor. Even after removing twenty-two minutes of runtime, none of the main story beats suffered and the pace improved, as it should be expected.
The highlights of the edit were the removal of a few of the “bad guys” scenes that served no real purpose other than to spoil the surprise. This also include the scene on Salusa Secundus that I felt made no sense in the original, and it makes even less sense after watching Dune Part 2.
Great work on these. I don’t think there was any way to remove more runtime that it was done here, without ruining some of the subplots that are mandatory for the story being told. Every scene that remained in this edit is either required for the characters’ development or helps move the story forward.
I’ve found a few audio issues, located where some of the new cuts were introduced. The audio transitions at 0h07m17, 0h12m39, 0h32m02, 0h56m52 and 1h17m16 were a bit too abrupt and noticeable.
