Explorers. Easily one of the best science-fiction films from the 80's. Unfortunately, most who love the film are quick to point out its flawed third act. Once the boys meet the aliens at the end the film simply falls apart. The alien children, mostly Wak, are completely over the top and ruin the experience.

I grew up on The Last Starfighter. It is a wonderfully fun and entertaining film. However, it is not free of problems. It drags a bit here and there. Mainly, I wanted to keep the story focused on Alex and keep the tension and threat focused there. Mainly, the subplot with the Beta Unit has been mostly removed. I felt this would better focus the story on Alex and keep the tension up (although removing anything with Catherine Mary Stewart is heartbreaking!).

The Final Countdown. This is one of those forgotten gems from the 80's. It is a great film, with a simple idea, that is pulled off quite well. However, the film is bogged down with excessive shots and sequences showcasing the Navy. This is a version of the film with the bulk of those scenes either cut or trimmed down, as well as some other bits here and there.

Generally speaking, I love Logan's Run as it is. However, it does have some pacing issues as well as some logic issues that I really wanted to address. I believe this edit tightens up the film and makes for a faster and more consistent experience, while also removing some of the cringe (just a few things).

"Uh-huh-huh, hey Beavis, these effects aren't so special..."

The purpose of this edit is to improve the low budget, outdated VFX so it still feels like a 1984 Terminator movie, but the laughable moments like painfully obvious Schwarzenegger mannequins and choppy stop motion animation are fixed.

This edit does not change the film's narrative or add deleted scenes.

To make the movie more accessible I added traditional orchestral music (from the soundtrack of 'Spellbound' by Miklós Rózsa), and removed most of the 'electronic tonalities'.

Seven of the most powerful superheroes battle foes in this animated series.

There was a story about 2 brothers who had a natural talent for alchemy called Fullmetal Alchemist. This story was originally told in a manga, but before the manga was finished an anime was put out. The anime had to change and create some original story elements because the manga was still ongoing at the time.

After the manga had finished they wanted to revisit the anime with a version closer to the actual story told in the manga. This would be known as Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. The only thing was due to retreading some story elements told in the original anime, they shortened some story beats for FMAB.

Serving as a continuation to The Last Jedi - Consistency Edition, this edit modifies The Rise of Skywalker to be a more fulfilling end to the trilogy by smoothing out the plot, removing convoluted elements, and modifying aspects of the film to elevate the story.

THE CLONE WARS: REFOCUSED presents the entire Clone Wars as a complete series of five seasons of about ten TV-length episodes each. Now structured and presented with the conventions of a more mature modern TV drama, it tells the complete narrative of the Clone Wars, retaining all the most important and enjoyable elements of the show, whilst trimming a vast amount of the weaker content, saving you over 17 hours total while still telling the same core narratives. Episodes have been refined, refocused, reordered and recontextualised to maximise story quality and viewer enjoyment, both for the show’s own complete end-to-end story, and for those seeking a supplement or introduction to new canon like the Mandalorian, Bad Batch, and wider Filoniverse.

I watched Interstellar and wondered if the movie could be done without the time travel aspect where one man saves the world by becoming a poltergeist.



So that's exactly what I did. Painstakingly. There are two versions. A dark and a light cut. The Dark cut ends without the ending we all know and the Light cut follows the original movie more closely, but removes all the paradoxes.

Eon Returns is an edit of Ben 10,000 Returns that keeps Ben’s future unknown by establishing Ben 10,000 as another alternate future version of Ben, while also providing small hints to Eon’s identity earlier in the episode.

There are changes to the film such as all deleted scenes included that not only tie in with the sequel(T2) but flesh out the original story of the terminator & also a film that can stand on it's own regardless of the sequel(T2).

Many new sound effects are also present throughout the whole movie in which I implemented these sound effects frame by frame & scene for scene.

The film starts with Niander Wallace, CEO of Wallace Corp, consumed by the knowledge that a replicant was born, he plots to capture and reverse engineer the child at all costs. Key characters and the core objective are now introduced much earlier in the film, some scenes and exposition have been removed, which either didn’t move the plot along or were duplicated elsewhere. The balance of how officer K and Luv are portrayed has also been changed to give them both a menacing edge and some parity in their motives. Who is the protagonist or antagonist is left more open now. These changes, along with changes to the film score help to add a little soul, intrigue, brutality and tenderness, which rebalances the film and is a more rewarding watch.

While an enduring cult classic, the original Tron film suffers from a critical pacing issue in its opening act. Cutting between the world of the Grid and the real world only serves to alienate new viewers and confuses the internal logic of the story. By removing the first 8(ish) minutes, the plot is not only clearer, but gets going much faster and with fewer distractions.

Arrow Parallel present, for the first time, John Carpenter's 'The Thing' from 1951. While some damage inevitably remains due to the nature of interdimensional travel, the content has been painstakingly restored and largely remains in excellent condition. Please enjoy this insight into an alternate history through what is, quite literally, "The Thing" from another world...

After recently seeing Infinity Pool and greatly enjoying it, I decided to go back and revisit the first film that introduced me to director Brandon Cronenberg: Possessor. After studying both cuts of the film for nearly a month, I got it in my head that I would attempt to create the longest version possible of this film using as much footage from both cuts as possible and reinserting the deleted scenes present on the releases.

I am proud to present: Possessor Complete.

This is a light edit of the first live action Ben 10 movie that doesn't drastically deviate from the original. Adjustments are spread throughout the entire film to give it a better cartoon to live action experience. The out of place scenes such as Grey Matter trashing the diner are removed, and various trims throughout the movie allow the plot to move quicker.

This is vastly different than the original cut. We have a new opening to recap the ending of Part 1 and a subsequent scene not seen in Part 1. The tone is less cartoonish and more balanced. There is a lot of new music and deleted material used to flesh out the movie. Much like Part 1 this has the focus on Peter and Gwen's relationship without all the other distractions.

Electro is pushed back to a secondary villain and Harry is brought up to being the primary villain. Electro's motivation is different as well. The accident simply drove him insane and he hears voices in his head.

57 years after Ellen Ripley had a close encounter with the reptilian alien creature from the first movie, she is called back, this time, to help a group of highly trained colonial marines fight off against the sinister extraterrestrials. But this time, the aliens have taken over a space colony on the moon LV-426. When the colonial marines are called upon to search the deserted space colony, they later find out that they are up against more than what they bargained for. Using specially modified machine guns and enough firepower, it's either fight or die as the space marines battle against the aliens. As the Marines do their best to defend themselves, Ripley must attempt to protect a young girl who is the sole survivor of the nearly wiped out space colony.

After coming across two edits of Aliens that greatly renewed my interest in the film, I decided to create a cut of the film that would check all of the boxes for me when it came to a version of the film that would be perfect for me. I present that very cut to you all as "Aliens Revisited".

Just another ‘Siege of Mandalore’ feature fanedit, cut to my personal tastes, with no changes other than transitions between episodes and a title card for Part II.

A combined and streamlined version of Back To The Future 2 and 3 - combining them into one movie as originally planned by Gale/Zemeckis.

After getting out of prison, burgler Scott Lang tries to reconnect with his daughter, as his ex-wife tries to keep him away. A desperate robbery gone askew puts him the radar of redacted government scientist Hank Pym, leading him down a path he could of never expected.

This is a tighter version of the film, cutting all of Hank's scenes until Scott meets him, as the film refocuses on his story and the journey he goes through to reunite with Cassie. A new deleted introduction to Hank has been reinserted into the film, other small elements have been cut, and one big infiltration sequence with an unneeded cameo has been entirely removed.

A boy obsessed with '50s sci-fi movies about aliens has a recurring dream about a blueprint of some kind, which he draws for his inventor friend. With the help of a third kid, they follow it and build themselves a spaceship. Now what?

From IMDB: Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick finds himself up against an alien race of predators. Activating an emergency beacon alerts two ships: One carrying a new breed of mercenary, the other captained by a man from Riddick's past.

The United States as we know it is destroyed in the climax of a Civil war.
Years after the nuclear event a vicious band of raiders, led by the ruthless General Bethlehem, reign terror among the survivors in the Oregon region.
In these desperate times a postman is send to restore communication routes and unintentionally ignites a spark of hope which inevitably crashes with General Bethlehem and his minions.

Kobe Skywalker's The Dark Side Cut of Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge Of The Sith improves upon the original release by making numerous cuts and trims to increase the serious tone of the darkest entry in the saga. Several cringe inducing scenes are removed, single weaker script lines are trimmed, and a few poorly acted moments are cut.

Texhnolyze takes place in the city of Lux, a man-made underground city that has crumbled after years of neglect and lack of repairs. Citizens of Lux have come to refer to their home as simply "The City" and treat it as though it has a mind and will of its own. Three major factions battle to control Lux: Organo, a group of "professionals" who collaborate with the criminal underworld that controls Texhnolyze (prosthetics); the Salvation Union, a populist group that seeks to disrupt Organo's business; and Racan, a collection of young individuals with Texhnolyzes that use their abilities for personal gain.

Ichise was once an orphan who has made a place for himself in Lux as a prize fighter. One day, a fight promoter grows angry with him and the altercation that follows results in Ichise losing an arm and a leg. Before death can take him, Ichise is found by the scientist Eriko Kamata, who uses him as a test subject for her newly designed Texhnolyze. With these powerful new limbs at his disposal, Ichise begins to work for Oonishi, the leader of Organo. He soon meets a mysterious young girl, Ran, who has the power to see possible futures. Together, they soon realize that Lux is on the brink of war and collapse, and that they may be the only ones who can save The city. Texhnolyze takes the audience into an Wellsian dystopia in which hope is scarce and evil is unbound.

Cut out what I felt to be some childish moments and unneeded exposition, hopefully helping those who have a soft spot for this ambitious flop enjoy it a little more.

This is Chapter Two of my ongoing fanedit series of See, covering the events of the second half of Season 1.
See is a criminally underseen AppleTV series, one of the more interesting and fleshed out science fiction stories I've seen recently.

I always though that the production was so strong on the show that it would've made a great movie, so I'm playing with that concept. Also, there was a bit of a stylistic shift between the first and second seasons, where a lot of very abstract ideas got sort of left behind in favor of a more action/adventure heavy show. Doing a fanedit of the first season in movie form can help line it up with the style of the rest of the show.

This is the director’s cut with some stuff taken out that always bugged me and adding back some stuff back from the theatrical cut. I also fixed the very inconsistent colour grading which varied from shot-to-shot in a few scenes.

Requiem For Methuselah with less of the out-of-character Kirk.

The galaxy has been plunged into total war! As clones and Jedi alike are sent far and wide to stop the separatist's advances, Palpatine hatches a wicked plan to end the war and seize total control of the galaxy.

Star Wars with a rocking soundtrack! Heavy Star Wars takes the existing action and adventure, trimming away unnecessary story/action/bad acting, and replaces the soundtrack with Rock music!

This edit makes The Last Jedi a respectful sequel to The Force Awakens as best as possible while also including some elements from The Rise of Skywalker. The terrible humor, unnecessary characters, and pointless side plots have been removed. Characters feel closer to how they were before. The result is a more serious and engaging movie that fits better with its predecessor.

Eliminates most of the first half hour of the film to get into the main action faster and preserve the mystery of at least a few of Han's origins.

This edit adds and replaces scenes from the director's cut to the theatrical cut to expand the film while avoiding the philosophy of time travel excerpts in order to preserve the ambiguity of the theatrical cut.

Happy new year! Those who are familiar with my Indiana Jones 4 edit will know what to expect: An edit to bring the movie in line with the first two movies in the trilogy.

Gone are Han Solo being Jealous, gone is Luke Skywalker's rediculous plan to give away his droids to the biggest jerk in the galaxy. Gone is Vader changing character since Empire. And a lot more!

From IMDB: A team of explorers travel through a wormhole in space in an attempt to ensure humanity's survival.

A moderate edit that keeps the central themes intact but presents them in a less heavy-handed fashion. Some action sequences have been re-cut, FX shots tweaked, and bad/expository dialogue is kept to a minimum, with some scenes rescored to help create a more consistently ethereal atmosphere. Some tweaks for pacing have been made, but the nonlinear structure is retained. One flash forward is cut, another is incorporated as a voice-over, and most are trimmed. The lighthouse finale is left untouched. The 5.1 surround track is preserved and I have also put together an isolated score track.

More natural color grading. Adds dust, weather, and blood FVX. Not all the mission targets are provided to Deckard.

The Thing 2011, Extended and tweaked .

When I contructed "THE THINGS" edit ( a mashup of both the 1982 and 2011 versions), I also made an extended version of the 2011 version.

We all hoped to see the original VFX that were sgot with practical effects that were later replaced in post production, but this will clearly now not occur.

Over the years, I have shared this version with a few on the site, to favorable responses. So on that basis (and yet another request to wither make this oedit or release it), I believe now is the time to re-appraise this film.

The one provisio I make to any who review this is that this was the last Standard Definition edit I made, So please do not scor it down on image on that basis. It was and is DVD quality, and older DVD based edits were not penalised back then, so please bear this in mind.

I will in the fullness of time, make an HD version of this....eventually.

ENJOY to all

Star Trek " The Wrath of Khan without the recyled VFX from Star Trek The Motion Picture

A fan edit that condenses Kubrick's film into a more feasable sub-90 minutes. This is the first in a series of Kubrick shortening edits.

The Wrath of Khan as it might have been, had it not been made on a tight budget with recycled VFX by the Paramount Television Unit (which it was astonishingly)

I wanted to bring out the great film that was hidden beneath layers of exposition and bad jokes. I have trimmed many scenes to improve pacing, removed as much exposition as possible, removed the bad jokes, re-recorded dialogue for several characters, and adjusted the colours of the film.

"In the twilight of the 1950s, on one fateful night in New Mexico, young switchboard operator Fay and charismatic radio DJ Everett discover a strange audio frequency that will change their lives forever... "

The Vast of Night is a 2019 American science fiction mystery little film (a dialogue heavy one) premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival and acquired later by Amazon Studios for its streaming service. Despite being an interesting movie, it was too long and dull and required a good snip so that the benefits it contains could be truly appreciated, So it's shorter now, like an episode of an old mystery TV show.

This edit modernizes the film with a new score and color grading. Downplays the preachy tone and reduce the characters over-verbalizing thoughts, fears and motivations, as if this were a stage play. Finally, it tighten ups action sequences and reduces dated VFX.

ZSJL was a major improvement to the travesty which occurred in 2017; however, Snyder’s 4 hour release was rushed in production and stuffed with significant filler. Releasing such a long cut, open matted, was probably more for production speed than artistic reasons. This cut re-scores, reduces, and rearranges this film for a more epic feel, with greater dramatic impact in a much shorter runtime.
