Wooww, can’t wait to watch it!
Do you know how much time approximately you added to the movie?

About 6 minutes of the new upscaled Deleted Scenes, and then about 5 minutes from the Extended Cut. But I’ve also cut a ton from the first act so it balances itself out and even shortens the runtime (to keep a strong and character-focused pace for the first act). Example: the original film reach The Island at the 44 minute mark, whilst my edit reaches it at 40.

The Second Act is also shortened, with removal of a lot of bad CGI shots (mainly the dinosaur chase sequence) as well as scenes I feel either kill the suspense or the suspension of disbelief (characters falling 10-15 meters and surviving).
