Synopsis:

This tightens up the overall pacing of the story – and it’s badly needed. Now it is a much more compelling experience.


Intentions:

To tighten up the overall pacing of the story. When I saw this in the theatre I was so bored in some places that I wanted to walk out. After it was over, what was less than 90 minutes had felt as though I just sat through a 2 and a half hour film. There were a bunch of pregnant pauses in dialogue and repeated bits that didn’t need repeating. Over all it now feels (IMO) like a more compelling experience...


Change List:

-many trims to overall dialogue to tighten the pacing -rearranged (slightly) “3rd stage of psychotic episode” conversation -cut 2 video doorbell messages -cut any reference that the captain makes to not having his shirt on -trimmed down the scene of the crewmen/captain/Syrtis explaining Ed 13?s disappearance (this scene was way too long for what it was) -rearranged (slightly) scene of captain yelling at the alien -added scene of psychiatrist electrocuting himself -added/trimmed scene of Isaac Brock (singer of Modest Mouse) -added music “Galactic Meloncholie” (from the Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots Pt.1 DVD single) which claimed it would be part of CoM, but wasn’t. -trimmed dialogue of the dead capacitor -many, many trims were made to various dialogue to remove long silences and redundancies that just weren’t necessary or that made people smart enough to be sent to Mars seem half retarded.
