Passengers: Aurora

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.

As soon as I sat through the whole edit of macmilln's Passengers Aurora I knew he would be another awesome person to join the fanediting team.

In this edit Mac really shows everyone his editing skills, I don't know how he does it everything he does is perfect.

IT IS AWESOME!!!

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

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.
