This one has been on my CURIOUSITY LIST for a while now...
I really enjoy the whole TERMINATOR Franchise. I absolutely LOVE the now cancelled TV series (shame on you FOX). I actually enjoyed
ALL of the previous movies. The first two are brillant. T3, while a bit too heavy on the humor, greatly entertained me in a otherwise dismal summer of blockbuster blunders. And I even like T4. Yes, even as a casual fan I noticed the continuity issues, but as a WAR MOVIE, I think it worked pretty well.
So when I read T-Hope's thread and intention for this movie, I was very excited.
And now after watching, I am pleased to say I was not disappointed.
From a narrative restructuring point of view, this edit is
exellent, even
BRILLIANT at moments.
All cuts and reorganizing of scenes completely work and improve the overall story.
The new opening was very clever and I was impressed.
The editing of Marcus into a supporting character works well.
The handling of Kyle also works and makes more sense now.
So, again from the storyline perspective, exceptionally well done.:wink:
On the technical side, there a few minor issues, all which have been brought up by previous reviewers.
I too found the audio a bit quiet, but nothing distracting or significant. I just turned up the volume and
ate my popcorn!
opcorn:
A few cuts are very hard and noticebale. Also, many of transitions could use another pass to smooth them out.
But despite this, I still found this movie very enjoyable.
I would give this edit a solid 7/10.
Thanks for the fun T-Hope!!!:clap2:
