A really good piece of work. The deleted scenes are restored almost perfectly. I enjoyed this edit really much.

I watched this movie years ago when it first came out and didn’t really remember much of it except one or two big scenes. I had to look up which scenes were extra/deleted ones because they are so well integrated back into the movie and hard to spot imo. I can see why some of the scenes were taken out (mainly for pacing) but having them back in made the movie seem more expansive and slightly deeper narrative. The movie as a whole is quite darkly lit but that’s got nothing to do with the faneditor or this edit in general. Overall really enjoyed this movie and this particular edit. Great job again Wraith. Recommended.

This film was originally a highly entertaining period piece. Once more Wraith with extreme attention to detail has lovingly restored all of the deleted scenes back into this film seamlessly. Great work!, and my future version to share with family and friends. One can see where the inspiration for the tv show Stranger Things came from.

I always loved this film, sadly enough in my bubble people dont seem to consider this rewatchable.
But i do, its like a classic Spielberg got to Movie on a lazy Sunday.
So i was keen to see what this edit does to an otherwise already good film.

It expanded it in a very good way. No cuts and changes are interrupting or missplaced, all is in one flow.
There is more depths now and the characterization of the people is better.
I felt like it allows more air ion, if you get what i mean.
There is more of what i loved to begin with and it still is paced with the right speed, no hurrys no boredom.

I feel that the kids are evenbetter now...but that can just be me feeling chjildish watching it.
After this i watched my all time Fav E.T because thats the flavour it leaves in my head.

Loved this one, thanks for this great treat which is my Go to Version from now on.
