Review Detail

Having not seen the original movie in quite some time, I'm primarily comparing this edit to other edits of The Phantom Menace that I've encountered, albeit not many. I'm not a editor, nor am I knowledgeable about editing in general. However, from a layman's perspective, all the cuts were seamless. The only noticeable difference was the lower quality of a deleted scene that was integrated, which is inherent to the scene itself and not a fault of the edit. Although it wouldn't surprise me if someone unaware of the deleted scene failed to notice it, as it appears Possessed has upscaled it.

The standout feature of this edit is undoubtedly its pacing. When I began watching, I hadn't intended to watch the entire edit. Yet, it flew by, and before I knew it, I had watched it in its entirety. The story was clear - all narrative edits only served to improve the original film. Overall, highly recommended!
