Idea: An Oblivion Fan-edit?

Does anyone know of or is anyone planning on doing a fan-edit of Oblivion?

There is a few things I would personally change in this movie… But not much…

I would probably remove the history opening narrative and start with the lines to the effect of… My name is Jack I repair drones section.

Remove the sequence of the bubbleship being struck by lightning.

Add some of the deleted scenes I saw no reason for most of them to be cut…

Anyone else got any ideas…

If there was a way to make the plot unfold more mysteriously and less cliched also.

Just ideas really at the moment.

Somone elses ideas…

I think the best approach would be to leave the flight recorder and flashbacks of odyessy mission to the end… And remove the flashbacks of Jacks wife from the begining the first glimpse should be in the dream he has of his wife that he jettisoned.

The football field does need atrim but the alternative footage would be good to use.

I think this film is begging to be fanedited actually… There is a much better film waiting to emerge I there are some clean cuts to achieve this.

I'd definitely be interested.

I thought the film had some interesting stuff but the cliched plot just ruined any enjoyment for me.

Are you going to or not? if so let's start talking about it....

What do you think... Obviously on the same page about being so cliched but what about plot and such?

What can you see or want to achieve?

I honestly did enjoy it but there is room for improvement and possibilities easily visible before deep analysis.

I don't have any ideas off the top of my head, i'd have to see the film again.

I'm interested in what others think.

That blog link wasn't working for me the other day but it is now, i'll give it a read in a bit when i have some time.

I would be interested in seeing an not-so-predictable-cut of the movie, but I actually enjoyed this one in it's original form a lot for it's scenery, score and atmosphere. It was a positively surprising slow building movie amongst this summer's ADD - tent pole movies.

Here is a rough mock-up cover idea

I hope someone get's on this film soon

You did not like it?

Seriously this film could have been better but I think the potential lies in quite an easy edit to bring it up a few notches. It does not need anything over complicated.

It's not "the Master" or even "the Hunter" but it's a reasonably good film that could just do with a few chops
