Prometheus – Special Edition

I was astounded at how well this repaired some of the erratic narrative beats in the Theatrical cut, considering the limited amount of footage available. Highly enjoyable, though I agree with a couple of the other reviewers that Fifield and Milburn are cut a little more than may have been necessary.

Nevertheless, this edit is quite impressive - especially considering some of the unfinished effects shots were completed. This is one of the best versions of this film I have seen to date. Agent 9, I look forward to seeing more of your work.

I watched this edit again recently and felt I had to add another review.
Agent 9 has done some fantastic work adding in deleted scenes even going so far as completing the SFX on some which still required wire removal etc. The video quality is excellent.
I too felt that Fifield and Milburn receive more cuts than they deserved, their leaving the exploration team was so abrupt I actually said "What?" out loud.
I still feel the musical score was very overwhelming in some places, occasionally drowning out the characters or effects, but other than that there are no obvious audio flaws,
These gripes aside, I still enjoyed the edit far more than the original, and enjoyed it as a fanedit even more the second time around.

Keep up the great work Agent 9 ^_^

Prometheus is to Alien / Aliens what The Phantom Menace is to the original Star Wars trilogy. Fanedits fixed much of the dire mess that is The Phantom Menace and I was hoping, as I endured Prometheus in the cinema, that they'd do the same for it.

And they have. There several worth watching, and this is very definitely one of them.

There are still problems - big ones - but they're down to the script writers. So the egregious science is still there, from the awful archaeology of the briefing onwards, and many of the cast still do very stupid things. But it's much better than the theatrical version.

The picture quality is great, even on the .mp4 version. There are a couple of audio glitches, but the sound quality also reflects the excellent work done on this.

.. but my favourite fanedit is still the Xenomorph edition, which cuts even more of the crap out.

Finally got to sit down and watch this version of the film.

WOW. Agent 9 my friend, you have impressed me again..
This is a great edit, technically is almost flawless.. the coloring, the audio.. the list goes on.
Fantastically put together Blu-Ray and menu as well. Even has the option of an English Subtitle track, that Agent 9 had to type out himself... Damn! Now that's dedication..

There's a few minor problem's with this movie, with a few audio transitions not being completely perfect, and the music is little bit louder than it should be in the end fight sequence, but after all the work put into this, I'm going to over look those minor things.. There's a lot of work, dedication and passion that shows through here.
And to even try and do all of this again in 3D is impressive. (Not that it's done or I've seen it, but that Agent 9 is planning on releasing in 3D is crazy to me.)

Anyways.. There's not much I can say that hasn't already said before, but if you didn't fully enjoy the original cut of Prometheus.. Check out This Special Edition Cut.... It's awesome..

Though I will say and not to be mean, but If you don't like Prometheus at all, it's not like Agent 9 (or any other editor that does these edits) went out and shot a new film.. He just fixed stuff up and made it stronger as a whole.. the movie itself still has it's flaws, but this is probably the best it will be, don't trash someone's rating for a movie they didn't make, just cause they couldn't make it what you wanted, I truly hate this......

Anyways, I'm done babbling....... Great Edit Agent 9.. Can't wait for the next one..

There's not much more I can say that hasn't already been said. It's a solid edit that greatly improves upon the theatrical release. Characters behave less silly, the mystery preserved, and a tighter thriller simply through reorganization.

I did knock a point off the visual editing since there was a brief moment when the Adobe Media Offline image popped up. It was only 12 frames or so, but something that should have been caught prior to final build. There may also have been a couple black frames between scenes, but I watched the BR converted to MP4 on my TiVo so it's possible something in the conversion and/or transcode caused those. In my albeit quick scan of the MP4 on my computer I couldn't spot those, so I'm going to go with a transcode problem. I'll update if I encounter the problem on a closer inspection of the file. That said, I don't feel right knocking points off until I can confirm it wasn't something on my end.

In the end this is a very good edit, one that you should consider watching. It definitely improves Prometheus and makes it a much more enjoyable film.
