Passengers: Aurora

I went into this film blind, having not seen the original. And I've got to say, I question why the original wasn't released like this.

A/V Editing was flawless, I was unsure of what had been changed until reading the changelist. Both waking up at the same time was a smart idea, it made it quite shocking when Jim says he's been up for over a year just a few minutes into the film. The flashbacks/Aurora freaking out intercutting was superb, I'm very impressed, as I assumed that's how the original played out whilst watching. Well chosen clips; these flashes make Jim seem unhinged during his year alone.

Superb job here by macmilln. Based on the cutlist I can say that it's definitely an improvement over the original, especially the first half.

For me this movie was pretty average and needed a better third act but with the realms of what is achievable, macmilln has wonderfully restructured the movie to be more compelling by shifting the perspective making the reveal feel like an actual twist now. Editing was brilliant, didn't notice anything was off and overall this will be my go-to version if I had to watch this movie again.

I already liked this movie but this edit just brings it to a next level.

I liked the Theatrical Cut, but something felt off about it. I was not the only one, as it seems, and some very creative people suggested this well deserved and logical flip in perspective (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gksxu-yeWcU). I was curious to see how the movie actually feels now, and the answer is simple - Macmilln's Aurora Edit is a significant improvement over the TC. Highly recommended!

The edit is visually stunning, and I simply loved it. The characters felt more relatable, the reveal a lot more satisfying, and the narrative flows more sensibly. Well done! Definitely my go-to version of this film.

As someone who didn't mind the theatrical cut, I decided to watch your edit after reading a number of positive reviews and I have to say I'm happy I did as this is a much better movie overall. This wasn't a bad movie in general but the whole Chris Pratt feeling sorry for himself took away from other elements of the movie, you have managed to transform this movie into something great by moving elements of the story around and doing a few tweaks here and there which makes this the superior version to watch.
