Faneditor: Beezo   Fanedit Type: FanFix Fanedit Release Date: 1st May 2015 Fanedit Runtime: 1h:35m:0s Time Cut: 0h:13m:0s Time Added: 0h:3m:0s Genre: Sci-Fi Original Title: Another Earth (2011)    Original Release Date: 1st January 2011 Original Runtime: 1h:34m:0s
The purpose of this edit was to remove all of the imagery of Earth 2 being in close proximity of Earth 1 and to otherwise remove scientific implausibilities throughout the film. A mystery component was added to the film by removing the opening scenes. Bad acting was trimmed, VOs were removed and a new, less troublesome, ending was provided.
Intentions:
Another Earth is, by all accounts, a fine sci-fi movie. However, as the film played heavy to the visual metaphors, without staying true to its sci-fi foundation, the movie strayed too far into the illogical. This edit is my attempt to make the film more "believable" within the confines of its premise.

Act 1: - Removed party / "Jupiter" V.O. / Accident - Added "Look at us" V.O. - Added footage of Earth - Added Earth One Titles - Removed most of brother's dialog in car - Removed mother's dialog in car - Removed "Am I alone?"
