Split Unbreakable Glass

Wraith has created the best way to watch this trilogy HANDS DOWN.

The way the narrative structure flows through this edit, the music queues, the transitions... It was all perfect. Perfect use of flashbacks, with a tempo crescendo that delivers flawlessly throughout the 3.5 hours.

This is not only my favorite way to watch these films but this is one of the best fan-edits I have ever seen.

Thanks for your work Wraith!

What to say about this Cut ?
WOW ?
Amazing?
Great?
Excellent ?

yes. all of that and more.
This Cut did something that i was not expecting: It changed my view on all three movies.
All of them have flaws, even though i always enjoed Unbreakable a lot. And Split was a good standalone movie, but once mixed in a Trilogy id was a bid..lets say...missplaced. And Glass, oh man, Glass is just not good. Sadly.

This Cut did what i hoped for: mix it together in a way that all films are good fun to watch and make the story work.
I am not an expert on cutting and editing, and i only watched Solit and Glass once, but i had a great time watching this cut.

3,5 hours is not an easy task, and you will need to find the time to make it in one go, but than it really works best.
I started, and had to break it up and that put me off. So i decided to wait to know i have the time i need.

SUG goes back and forth between Unbreakable and Split and that really triggered me and i enjoed that a lot.
The Glass parts are just the ones you need to get to know the character and than all end up at the Asylum.
After all, i had so much fun that his will be (currenty) my go to Version.

BUT: as Wraith alsways say´s: Wait ill you see UGS :)

Thanx for doing this and sharing it with me mate !

Unlike the other people who have provided reviews, this review is somewhat unique. I own copies of Unbreakable, Glass and Split, but I have only watched Unbreakable. The other DVDs have been sitting on a shelf collecting dust for the last few years, and my wife and I have just never gotten around to watching them. This meant that both of us watched Wraith's fanedit 'blind' (with no idea of what were were going to see).

Seeing Wraith's fanedit was an eye-opening experience. It conveyed the storyline in an easy flowing manner with no spoilers and no superfluous information (no repeated exposition). The [sometimes] convoluted editing and narative style of M. Night Shyamalan has been smoothed over, creating a film that could be effortlessly watched and comprehended, even by viewers who had never seen the original movies... well done Wraith!

My wife and I will now watch the original films, and see the material that Wraith had used to create this version...

After much hype, and after going through the trouble of owning M. Night Shyamalan's "trilogy," and finding three and a half hours to spare, I finally had the pleasure of watching what is unofficially becoming one of the best fanedits out there. I'm not sure if this edit lived up to the hype I had, but there's no denying how ambitious this edit was.

My issues are mostly minor technical ones. An occasional technical glitch in the audio might occur. A couple of visual transitions felt off. And there is one scene that occurs in the first hour or half hour that I think could've been left out, but I can't remember which scene it was (hey, it was 3 1/2 hours after all. I can't remember every scene after 160 minutes). I also kinda wished the explanation at the end for how Elijah got the footage sent out wasn't cut, but I'm also reluctant to make that criticism, as the editing for the final scene was so good that I think adding the explanation back in would affect that moment for the worse.

A lot of those nitpicks aside, I still loved this edit. And regardless of what my feelings for the edit were, I still have to place a lot of emphasis on the word, "ambition." Because I can't think of another fanedit out there with this much of it. Not only in its non-linear narrative, but in how the three movies are put together. The way the film goes back and forth between Unbreakable and Split for the first half, only to wind up with most of Glass for the second half. The way the edit sets up all three characters, only to bring them all together into the asylum. The way the setup for this edit fixes up most of the problems with the last film. Whether it's my favorite fanedit or not, I'm taking notes from it.

Split Unbreakable Glass is a highly motivated little edit that should be required viewing for anyone who wants to try their hands at being a faneditor. Highly recommended, especially for the more academic among us.

Again one is amazed by how the threads of a story can be unpicked and rewoven to make something spectacular, Have not yet seen Glass but was aware of the less enthusiastic response towards it compared to the earlier entries, in this edit at least I never felt at any point that these parts were weaker. Was gripped throughout and looking forward to watching Wraith's mirror image edit.
