Your intention for this fanedit: My intention was to cut out as much material from the film that I thought didn't work or detracted from the important aspects. I also wanted to remove what I considered were some loose ends and/or plot holes within the movie. I did my best to make sure that every plot point that was needed for the story remained intact.
Your way to achieve your intention: Be very strict about what is needed and what worked (IMO). If something sucked, but is needed, it stayed.
Hardware and software information : New ASUS quad-core computer with LG blu-ray Drive. NeroVision 4 with blu-ray plug-in was used for the editing. Retail Blu-ray was used for the source which was transferred to my computer using DVDFab 6.
Time needed for the edition: Approximately Two Months
