Prometheus – Special Edition

Everything you'd hope it would be, professionally created with main issues from original subtly removed and deleted scenes recut and edited in where they should be to drive the story.

It speaks for itself as when the scene where they are running back to the ship without fifield and milburn came about my girlfreind mention what about the other two guys left behind.
That emotional attachment wouldnt of been there if they were originaly "lost".

The only very small issues for me were when the deleted alien worm scene was cut to slightly fast and the final engineer meeting scenes colour seemed to be darker and not in line with the main movies visual presentation, both are small imperfections to an otherwise epic edit.

It would of helped to be in any format of 5.1 audio instead of 2.0 PCM but that said this is by far the cannon in my eyes

Well Done Agent9

Prometheus - Agent 9 edit

I enjoyed the theatrical release of this film. Critics or fanboys who complained, I shrugged at.
What did they expect? Scott has always been a loose director, permitting plot gaps and unanswered questions. I have no doubt that in ten years, Prometheus will be regarded as a Sci Fi classic.
What Agent 9 preformed was an outstanding overhaul.
He threw the yoke of structure onto the film and straightened the narrative. Taut, focused.
Everything he added, I enjoyed. Everything tossed ... well ... (SPOILER) ... I missed the opening Engineer sequence. Mainly because it was so visually arresting. To be honest, however, while cool looking it seemed disconnected from what followed. More parable than plot point. I warmed to the Weyland speech.
Other trims were fine, especially the two button heads who, as screened, seemed little more than comic Jar Jars.
I cannot stress how amazing the visual work was. Demo clinic time.
Sorry, quibbles.
The audio was two channel stereo. Visuals were spectacular, but the audio was two channel stereo. I mean, really?
The mp4 version was one long chapter. Like Prince’s “Lovesexy” or Lynch’s Mulholland Drive. One chapter. Please, more breaks next time.
Anyway, this is one helluva an edit, and I look forward to A9 repairing Prometheus 2 ...
.Update 2021
....….Only that never happened. Agent9 either lost passion for the hobby, or tired of the scuffles, or something else.
By and large, fanediting is a thankless endeavor. Many beg to view, few say thank you. That’s life.
As far as Prometheus 2, such a colossal fail.

Subs = Most of the subs for Agent 9’s edit are machine translated VonSubs. I fixed most timing errors and corrected OCR mangled words. Again, this srt is for Agent 9’s edit.

since prometheus realise i must have watched it some 20+ times, for all of it's faults it's a film i find entertaining and never boring. as the fanedits start to trickle in slowly agent 9 version of the film will be remembered in years to come as one of the definitive fanedits to prometheus.

there are many aspects to prometheus that didn't bother me as they seem to bother others, but that being said the cuts made here are all done to a very high standard. the high point to this edit is how millburn and fifield are no-longer the idiotic buffoons they came across in the theatrical version, it's one of the biggest problems i had with the film.

but that's just one of the many highlights this edit has to offer, and while agent 9 is a new comer in terms of edits realised it's obvious that he knows what he's doing and i'd certainly will keep an eye on any future edits that he creates.

my only gripe with the edit is that millburn isn't introduce by name earlier, though this is really nip picking on my behalf. agent 9 prometheus special edition sets a the bar high and while i look forward to more edits on prometheus this version is the best i've seen so far and even replaces the original.

As much as I enjoyed the original film, I always felt that it *tried* too hard to be an Alien film, while at the same time, missing many of the elements that made Alien so successful.

This edit changes all that. It feels like the film Prometheus wanted to be.

Picture & sound quality are simply stunning and this is now the version I will watch and I will watch it MANY more times than the original.

Highest of recommendations

I watched the blu-ray version of Prometheus S.E. last night and I must say I am mighty impressed, first of all the video quality on the blu-ray is close to the retail version I have, enhanced with better quality deleted scenes. The audio is also faultless and with 'Alien' soundbites this is an improvement in my opinion. All the incorporated new scenes are seemless and do add to the story, and the beginning and title sequence improves the start without a doubt. As noted elsewhere, the TED Conference scene is the perfect begining for the film, showing a young Weyland, which begs the question - why was it not in the original cut?
The color corrected scenes match great, and the wire removal in the extended final battle is professionally done, as is the new green screen removal scene. The cuts Agent9 has made are unnoticable and improve the story in my opinion.
All in all this edit will be the one I will reach for in the future, I rate this fanedit a resounding success at 10 out of 10!
I for one will be anticipating future Agent9 fanedits.
