Hackers: The 56K Upgrade

Awesome stuff. well done!!!! hope to see more edits like Jim Henson's Labyrinth !!!!!!!!

OK, watching this edit reminded me of how thorn I was over the original one.
The (original) film has a very nice potential of being a good hacker movie (representing what hackers really were like in the 90's)
It had a very nice cast, a banger soundtrack and a mouthwatering lineup of old laptops.
And then they screwed it by marinading draining, and choking it in "Hollywood hacking:"

What this edit does is take the already amazing music score to unseen heights, and it is done in such a smooth technical perfect way that I would like to give an 11 for audio editing...

Videro whise it is commemorable that some screens are already replaced with decent command line (NMap?) outputs
but this is where this edit could really grow and shine
get rid of al the 3d file system navigation
replace the towers of transparent glas panes by real server racks

I know that this is a HUGE undertaking but that is what would bring this edit into the stratosphere

enjoyment was "only" an 8, but if you take in account that i would give the original film a 3 it is a HUGE improvement.

Tl;Dr
very nice edit
I can't wait to see the "hold my beer" version after my comments.
(disclaimer; me having no experience at all with FanEdits, I would really like to learn and help with making that "hold my beer" version happen)

Also: I think "the 56k upgrade" is an amazing name

As soon as the Massive Attack song kicks in the first scene in slo mo, man, you feel you're in good hands and oh boy did it deliver! Alright, the original movie had plotholes and goofy-af holes, and this masterfully crafted edit gets rid of most of them holes and paves a new road to enjoyment :) The only downside at times is, the vocal track gets muffled every now and then by the newly added music tracks, not always, but for us nerds slightly noticeable. NOT a deal breaker whatsoever.
The movie is clearly clearly better and you'd be remiss if you didn't want to watch it.
Mess with the best, die like the rest!! ;)
Amazing time spent with this edit, fully recommendable!

That was fun, for sure.
The fanedit turned a film that was pretty hit-and-miss for me into a much better one. It’s still not a perfect film, but the changes worked really well.

Loved the custom VFX. And, in particular, loved the new score.

Man what a fun watch! The change list is enormous and somehow the movie keeps all of its goofy, cheesy, 90's-ness! I literally thought myself "god was that really what being cool was like 30 years ago?" haha

The best thing for me was the music. I counted 10 different changes but then looking at the list it was 18! The music was so well done, fit so well, was so smoothly added, it really impressed me.

I finished the movie with this big goofy smile on my face remembering when silly movies like these were the coolest thing on HBO on a Friday night. Thank you for making me nostalgic for the old days.
