I rather enjoyed this edit. I was glad to have more of the Baylan/Shin stuff kept in as that’s often trimmed too much for my tastes as they were my favourite aspects of the original material. The VFX work is incredible, particularly the World Between Worlds section.

The restructuring of the opening act works very well from a story perspective, but feels a little clunky in practice, particularly surrounding Morgan’s rescue and the arrival of Baylan, Shin & Morgan at the Henge. Also, Huyang’s AI lines could use another pass in my opinion; content wise they work, but they are a little too far removed from David Tennant’s admittedly extraordinary delivery and stick out a bit too much.

Overall I think this will become my go-to version, despite the minor quibbles. I do hope for v2 one day that tidies up the little loose ends.
