Brief Synopsis:
LOOPER is an excellent movie, with a few rabbit holes which the deleted scenes go some way to plugging. These scenes also flesh out some additional important character moments, plus there is a new opening credit sequence (I hate when there are no opening credits).
Intention:
I just wanted to seee more, thoug a few bits have been omitted either coz they were incomplted FX-wise or just too "flabby"

Seldom seen publicly available animated trailer also available as a BD extra.

The artist who can improve upon the work of Rian Johnson really knows his stuff.
Appreciated Looper which's an interesting take on grandfather's paradox and anomalies of Time Travel - an enjoyable counterpart to Carruth's Primer (Other favs being Marker's La Jetee and Benson & Moorhead's Resolution/The Endless).

Thanks for making this, Wraith. High Respect!

This is an excellent Extended Edition of Looper. I enjoyed the new intro, it was very artistic! With previous edits some of the added scenes were more obvious, where this edit is really smooth. I think the only edit I noticed was the added scenes in the Diner when the two Joe's meet, the colour grading changes, but it's minor I don't think most people will notice. I think anyone who liked the original should check out the Extended cut.

It's excellent. Edited bits don't feel edited at all and it expands the already great film. This version is the one I'll rewatch in the future as well. No flaws at all elsewhere. Thank you for your work :)

First and foremost, I'm a fan of the original Looper. I thought people gave it a hard time or were over critical because it was a thinker kind of movie. I was wrong and those people were right. After Looper: Extended by Wraith, I get what went wrong. My wife ("who doesn't like those types of movies") and I watched it together and she cried at the end. I looked at her and said "you knew how it was going to end, you've seen this before". She said "Yeah but now I get it. I get the struggle and the characters so much more now." That alone is worthy of a 10/10. It cut out the confusion and the gaps and made a truly engaging story that I now consider to be the only version I will ever watch again.

Wraith... you are an artist sir! If I see your name on a fan-edit going forward, I will watch it, even if I don't like the movie. Please keep doing what you do!

As with other extended versions that Wraith has created, the extended Looper movie adds far greater depth to the characterisation while expanding on the plot/sub-plots. I could not find any faults or flaws in the editing, which was seamless with the rest of the film, and only served to demonstrate the skill that Wraith has mastered over the years.

Wraith's version clarifies some of the confusing aspects of the original cinema cut and makes the entire film far more satisfying (and more comprehensible).

Well done Wraith!
