Passengers: Aurora

I quite enjoyed the original version of Passengers. It had a lot of potential but also missed the mark on a few things. A while later I also saw the video about reshuffling the order of the movie, so I was intrigued by this edit. I have to say that macmilln has done an outstanding job of turning an average movie into great one. I cannot fault any of the edits or cuts as they all work seamlessly, as well as the pacing and tone. Unfortunately it still has the issue of the ending which cannot be fixed with the content available, but I must say that this is the best version of this movie that you'll ever see.

I loved this edit. Though I've haven't seen the original. It did make me curious so I plan on watching it. It was a fantastic edit. My only critique was it showing Aurora waking up and then him. Other than that, perfect.

Yep, it works a lot better like this

Almost everyone ends the original film thinking "why didn't they tell the story from Aurora's pov?". It makes more sense to put yourself inside her head, and only then trying to understand what happened inside Jim's, just like she had to do.

The 3rd act is still a bit too rushed, but that's no fault of macmilln, there is simply no more material to work with here.

For anyone experiencing the film for the 1st time, please watch this version first

As a first time watch, this worked pretty well. My score is just what I think I would give the film if this was the theatrical cut; that's just my rating of the footage itself. Fantastic edit.

Major kudos to macmilln for taking an interesting idea from that YouTube video about rearranging the parts of Passengers, and actually doing all the work to edit it together in a mostly seamless way using just the footage available. It's quite a feat, and this version is unequivocally a much better version of the original concept. I liked the premise in the theatrical film but felt it was lacking in several ways, and this edit addresses most of them.

I know the edit itself was done a few years ago and it's asking a lot, but it'd be amazing to see a new version based on the 4K video and Dolby Atmos audio available now.
