Brief Synopsis:
The cuts made makes the mission move faster, and gives it more urgency. Nearly all the romance has been removed, which means one scene loses it's impact, but it it's a small trade off. And, Phil doesn't sound like an arse with his sarcastic lines anymore!! All in all, a more to the point movie.
Intention:
To make the mission seem more urgent than it was in the original. To remove most, if not nearly all the luvvee-duvvee scenes. To make Phil more likeable. To get to the damn point!!
Editing Details:
After viewing the film so many times it made my head spin, I kept thinking 'why is that there?' 'Is that even needed?'. So, I took my pair of virtual editing scissors, and trimmed away 30 minutes worth of stuff that was, basically, filler. As I said, I do regret leaving out one scene, but it's a small price to pay. All the other stuff was just padding. Hopefully, the movie works much better now.
Cuts and Additions:
- Cut many scenes involving Terri and Woody's romance. Too much of it. And I think I might have removed too much of it as well. Never mind.
- Cut Phil's sarcastic lines. He now seems likeable, instead of a t**t.
- trimmed most of the fat, as it slowed the pace down.
- Cut the obvious scenes of Jim's wife being in the Air Force/an astronaut. Just the photo is enough to tell us.
