Removed the scenes that cut away to the narrator throughout the film, and rework the story to flow smoothly without interruption.

Make the main character more likeable and focus on the ships and crew rather than alien hand to hand combat.

Kept the laid-back pace of the main story intact, but trimmed some of the main character family life, and some of the flashbacks to focus on the core narrative without interruption. Some scenes are recut and rearranged for better impact.
