Synopsis: 

This edit removes the art-film pretentiousness from The Greatest Movie Ever Made and turns it into a fun, faster paced sci-fi flick while still retaining what little plot there was to begin with. Kubrick fanboys are advised to stay far, far away.

Intentions: 

I felt like destroying something beautiful.

Change List: 

Outright removed or shortened many frivolous scenes to get to the core of the film. Some frivolous scenes remain only to stand there and be mocked for their frivolity. Replaced and added to the entire musical score. I tried to make changes to the score have some sort of unique meaning – sometimes synching through musical or lyrical cues, sometimes for a laugh, sometimes for an “I see what you did there” moment or sometimes just plain fun.

Additional Notes: 

Cut: -3 minutes of blank screen and opening credits -Dawn of Man segment removed -docking the spaceship shortened -Floyd’s video call to his daughter removed -conversation with Russian astronauts shortened -landing on the Moon shortened -changing the AE-35 shortened -Intermission removed -Dave returning to Jupiter One and killing HAL removed -Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite shortened -various small chops here and there to help the pace -rearranged the order of many scenes  Added: Completely new score featuring music from James Brown, Flight of the Conchords, Pink Floyd and many more.
