Fixing this travesty of a film is no easy feat. This edit is insurmountably superior compared to the theatrical cut - the pacing is much better, much of the kitsch is gone, and the chosen narrative is comprehensible and well defined. I particularly approve of the removal of any mentioning of ghosting (and especially the terrible monologue about fear not being real).

As I mentioned in the forum discussion, I have three major issues with the narrative, which affected my enjoyment from the edit. I felt the narrative could be made stronger by restoring most of Zoë Kravitz's scenes, by removing all explicit references to Earth (except the whales at the end), and by trimming improbable moments (especially the bird segment).

The visual and audio quality and editing are superb, as always.

Haven't seen the original in forever, but I really liked this edit. I still don't care for the characters too much and the narrative isn't helped a ton, but at least I'm not bored ever in the movie. It's crazy fast paced and fun the entire time now. Definitely recommend this edit for anyone interested in this movie

Fixing this film is no easy feat but Malthus has done a great job of editing to improve this over the original. By removing the backstory, flashbacks and the bland dialogue this edit gets right into the action and doesn't stop until the end. I would much prefer to watch this version and I would definitely recommend this over the original for anyone wanting to rewatch or a first time viewer.

I saw the original way back when it came out, but not since then. I don't really remember much about it, except that I did not care too much for it. This version was pretty decent. Not great, but considering what Malthus had to work, I think he did a very good job. He turned a "did not care much for it" into a good movie that is non-stop action, pretty much throughout. Nice job.

I wasn't even able to finish the original and I was very excited for the movie overall. This type of film is generally right in my wheelhouse. This fan edit helps speed things along and helps focus on what good pieces Malthus had to work with. Bring a new focus to the action that should have been the backbone of this movie to begin with. If you were excited for the original and let down then this may be the edit for you.
