Quality is excellent. This looks and sounds great. Visual editing is flawless, and regardless of whether it works for you or not, some of...
Tens across the board. This is very nicely presented. Objectively, I have no real complaints. Possessed has done a great job of merging different...
I've only seen La La Land once before, which meant I was only vaguely familiar with what was being changed. This is often my preferred way to watch fanedits, since...
Saul Bass's only directorial contribution to the world of feature-film is Phase IV - a cerebral, science-fiction horror(?) concerning a dramatic increase in ants' intelligence and ability organise. ...
I watched the shorter of the two available cuts. Visual quality is good, but not on par with the blu-ray. Artifacting is noticeable in...
Personally, I enjoyed the theatrical cut – so this edit technically wasn’t for me. Having seen the theatrical twice, my feelings towards it have been that the film is messy...
Audio/Visual Quality: Always an odd one to rate for a grind house edit - picture was actually pretty good, considering the concept. I know that the picture and audio deteriorates...
Quality - Mostly good, though there is a noticeable degradation of quality on many shots due to the zoom ins. The audio bitrate also seemed a bit low on one...
Quality - Good. A little soft for my liking, but perfectly fine. Visual editing - pretty much flawless, except that the fades on the flashback to...
Massive apology to the editor, whom I promised I would write a review ages ago and just completely forgot. The edit is no longer uber fresh in my mind, but...
'"Yib Nub" echoes in my mind.' This is not an easy thing to pull off. Take a classic - arguably untouchable - (in mono) and rescore it...
Great edit. Many subtle changes made that can easily go unnoticed, but a lot of effort was clearly put in (Envy the editor, I do not). I don't agree with...
I'm one of the people who actually liked Prometheus when it came out, although I certainly wasn't blind to its flaws. The story was told in a very convoluted way,...
If you haven’t seen the original edit that this is based on, spoilers follow. Video/audio quality was excellent – no complaints. For what it...
I watched the non-purist cut of this (blu-ray) which contained elements from both versions of the film, and I honestly couldn't discern which shots didn't belong to the original. The...
Well, here it is… Back to the future – THE SERIES; The Hill Valley Chronicles; The epic time-peregrination of Marty McFly; The Scott-tastic, nonsensical, illogical fantasy-science of Doc Brown, serialised...
Initially looking at the cutlist for this, my thoughts were positive, but seeing alot of it in practice, I don't think it works. One reviewer commented saying that...
Before I get into this, I'll give some context. I don't really like Blade Runner that much. I think it's good, but not great. I appreciate it, but I believe...
I initially saw this during the Christmas period, a short while before the edit was "officially" released. It was great fun to watch it then during "prime" season, but although...
Video/Audio quality: Seemed perfect to me. Blu-ray quality. File was huge though, so I guess that's expected. Visual editing: ...
Impressive work. A big improvement on the theatrical, but I can't help but feel too much was cut. Been a while since I've seen the original, but the film lacked...
A very enjoyable extended edit. Visual editing was seamless, as was audio, bar a couple of occasions where I noticed a slight shift in volume. Video quality...
I'm not a big fan of Blade Runner, but I do like it, and although I'm interested in seeing alternative takes on the narrative and pacing, the soundtrack is probably...
Haven't seen this since the cinema, and when I saw it then I was bored out of my mind. This edit filters out all the unnecessary drama and streamlines the...
This was an absolute joy to watch. At less than hour long, TMBTM manages to still maintain a consistent and clear narrative, capturing all the key plot points. ...
Been a while since I've seen the original, but this was very well done. Most of what I remember of the film is there, only shorter. I noticed one audio...
I've seen Reservoir Dogs once and it was a while back, but I remember liking it. Watching this edit certainly didn't change my mind - it's a great film. Does...
Bloody hilarious. Editing isn't seamless, but nor would you expect it to be. Many things throughout are a testament to Frinks skill as an editor, even if the audio makes...
This is a close 2nd for my go to Episode II edit, although I may have to watch Hal9000's again to be sure. Quality was good, but...
Only seen the series once before and it's been a long time. My brother is a big fan and so I burnt this to DVD to watch with him when...
I've never seen Terminator 3. I've not avoided it, but the opportunity never came up and since it wasn't meant to be very good I didn't really seek it out....
Enjoyment - I think my biggest problem with this edit is that it feels like a job half done. It has the potential to be great, but it stops just...
Hmmmm.... Mixed thoughts on this. Some really nice changes, but also some unfortunate ones. Adele's theme is great. One of the best bond themes in my opinion...
[SPOILERS] Resurrection is a horrible film. Each time I've seen it I've gone in with a vague memory of it being bad, but thinking "it can't really...
Only seen this movie once and it's been a very, VERY long time. Decided that when I watched it again I would watch an edit. It's always nice to experience...
I saw First-Class about three years ago and was sorely disappointed. It came across to me as being very average, the many minor characters as annoying and their mutant powers...
I have no words... ...other than, well... Is it strange to say that it was over too soon? This stuff is like a drug. Horrible, damaging stuff,...
Terminator has a very basic plot, which makes it a perfect candidate for a short film. The editor has done a great job. Nothing feels rushed, there are no jarring...
Great little short. I Am Legend was a fairly average movie with some good scenes. The film was well set up, but the laughable Darkseekers and weak ending left a...
The editing in this is just sublime, a whole other level. The way this is put together in itself is worth a great deal of merit and makes for a...
Narratively, this is a bit of a mess, particularly in the final act. It's not something that could be easily experienced if you aren't already familiar with the films, but...
I may be going against the crowd a bit here, but I'm sorry to say that for me this isn't "it". Although in many ways this is a great edit,...
A great re-imagining of the 2 Alien prequels which also succeeds in doing away with some of more confusing scenes, plot holes and character inconsistencies. I have no idea how...
Apart from some extremely minor nitpicks (mainly the purist in me), this is absolutely phenomenal. An incredible achievement. The battle of Hoth is gorgeous! Thank you,...
