Prometheus – Special Edition

i hadnt gotten around to watching the bluray when i saw this fanedit on fanedit.org

maybe it was the 3D, but i couldnt tell any deleted scene from the rest of the movie
basically to me, this IS the movie...and it is something else, i will tell you

the only part i could tell is the beginning sequence seemed like added 3D, but thats alright...was well done

this is a true emotional ride, and seemed like a real Alien movie to me :-)

Congrats to the faneditor, and keep up the good work!

P.S. that list of cuts/additions at the end was mind-boggling...no idea how you guys do this :D

This edit is great stuff... it takes a movie that I was looking forward to so much and delivers the satisfaction I should have felt when I saw the theatrical cut in the cinema! This is now my go to copy and my blu-ray will forever be gathering dust!

Masterful editing, and brilliant integration of the deleted scenes. Prometheus now FEELS like a member in the Alien franchise which is what I was originally hoping for. Agent 9 has done a fantastic job!

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 ^_^

I like the theatrical cut of Prometheus just fine, but I like this one a whole lot more. Agent 9 has made some fantastic choices on when/how to cut a bunch of these scenes to mitigate the glaring flaws in the film's muddled and occasionally illogical and even lazy script. Most of them work flawlessly. I did feel like Fifield and Millburn got cheated out of their characters a bit in this version, having most of their lines cut. Granted, much of their dialogue wasn't that great to begin with, but now I have no idea who these people are, really. At the very least, the scene where they break from the rest of the exploratory party seemed needlessly truncated, with Fifield saying "I'm out of here" and taking Millburn along without a word from either him or the rest of the team. Many of the other characters benefit from added depth and more clearly-defined motivations though, thanks to some wisely reincorporated deleted footage.

There is some stunning editing on display here, major things like rearranging scenes for better flow, as well as really subtle stuff like touching up unfinished SFX and adding sound cues to enhance atmosphere and cover edits. The color correction, likewise, is gorgeous. Mostly, I was on board with the extra music, although the selection does lean pretty hard on the original Alien theme and the volume is overwhelming in several spots. I watched the 3D blu-ray, and the picture was generally terrific, barring the few deleted scenes that required post-converting. The drop in quality is noticeable to the point of distraction, but I appreciate the effort to clean these scenes up and convert them to 3D in the first place. The film is better for having them included.
Also, the entire disc is in side-by-side stereoscopic format, so it can be played on that 3D setting without having to burn to a disc, provided you have a way to mount the ISO. ;)

In conclusion, if you hated Prometheus, this probably won't change your mind. However, if, like me, you find it to be an enjoyable but deeply flawed film, give this edit a shot. It fixes many of the problems, and it carries a slightly stronger "Alien" vibe.
