Passengers: Aurora

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.

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.

When I first watched the original movie i left the theater wondering if the movie would be better if it was from Aurora’s perspective. Then I forgot about the movie and then this shows up. And this is clearly better! It is seamless and thrilling!
Excellent quality and editing. I can’t compare in detail with the original because I did not remember everything. But it felt right, if I can say that.
Will be showing this to someone that hasn’t seen the original and discuss the narrative. And perhaps I will update my review.
