Watched this a few days ago with the wife and really enjoyed it. The shack scenes were brilliant and a vast improvement on the original. The new ending took me right out of the movie for a moment, but the storytelling and feel of this new ending was excellent and left me really thinking about it in that way.
Right after we watched the new ending, we watched the ‘purist’ ending and although this looked better in terms of editing, it left me feeling like, ‘well, was that it?’ Just like it did when I first saw the theatrical release. So for me, in terms of storytelling, it’s the new ending that gets my vote.
