Raiders of the Lost Ark – The Serial

July 28, 2012 @ 9:00 am

On the whole, this was great. Very fun edit. I loved the concept, the look and feel of it all.

My biggest complaints though are that often the serial structure didn’t quite work. The breaking points half the time felt a bit unnatural. I think this could have easily been avoided with a little bit more editing of the film itself.

FANEDIT RATING – 7
Audio/Video Quality – 7 (as noted in the description, video quality isn’t the highest)
Visual Editing – 9
Audio Editing – 7
Degree of Editing – 7

(NOTE: “Degree of Editing” is a 100% arbitrary rating that I keep in mind when reviewing edits. This is not meant to insinuate that a faneditor is lazy or not. Some fanedits require a lot more work than others and I take this into account.)

MOVIE RATING – 8
Narrative – 7
Enjoyment – 8 (original is a 10)

OVERALL RATING – 7

Quite a unique take on the movie and possibly the first time an edit has gone in this direction. The constant replaying of the titles and such gets a wee bit old as you continue watching, but I totally understand the reason for it. All in all, a really fun edit. Recommended.
