IFDB Review: Judge Dredd: Redemption:

Foreword: I haven't seen the original in sometime, which prefer for watching edits and I also didn't review your changes ahead of watching, which I also prefer. I looked at the edit list back when I downloaded the edit, but I like to not know exactly what I'm walking into so I don't watch an edit for a few months or more after downloading them.What I liked: The narrative was greatly improved and streamlined. Rob Schneider's was almost entirely removed, which keeps the movie more serious tone.What I didn't: The movie was edited together amazingly but there added the the film grain drove me nuts. You're not alone. I've seen this in a few edits now that I think it adds nothing to the experience, and only takes away. When I see grain now I only think of low quality equipment in low lighting, or just low quality equipment. I don't think grain makes a movie look edgy or nostalgic. This is why I'm rating the visual editing so low, it drove me crazy on my tablet (plane ride).Overall: A better version than the original. The Audio/Video Quality, seemed below a DVD, but it might have been the encode or the grain or both together. I would recommend anyone wanting to see the original to see this edit instead, grain or no grain it is still better.Extra: This edit would benefit from a re-encode from the source material, also you should NOT include the grit filter.Impressive work
