TOD 3D is finally complete. PM me if you want a link. Sorry took so long, the movie has a lot of movement and depth that was a challenge to track and work with, but I think it turned out well and the movie is a good candidate for 3D. You will need to support SBS 3D. I use Potplayer for my 3D movies from PC, but if you can play the MP4 from VR or playstation etc, it should also work.

First and foremost I want to thank kg1977 on the hard work on this edit. It was truly well done and a very enjoyable experience. This is an edit I strongly recommend for others to enjoy as well.

As I look through the cut list, nearly everything you cut would have been the correct decision regardless of whether you were looking for a family friendly edition or not. The cuts really helped with some of the pacing issues the movie had and minimized portions of the movie where things were over exaggerated, such as the dinner scene with all of the special “food.” It looks like a lot of the poor dialogue that diminished the characters and felt annoying were also removed.

This is a great edit even for some adults. There are many adults who would not like to see a heart ripped out. I may edit that sequence back in for a separate more personal copy if I decide for a more gory version of the movie. However, some of the other more graphic elements you removed really do not need to be reinserted in a more graphic edit. As stated in your cut list, we can still see and hear what is going on. Trimming out an extra few seconds helps the pacing. We really do not need those graphic close ups as the audience can understand what is going on.

The enhanced FX were a very nice tough. These are things the casual viewer (like me) do not typically notice.

The only noticeable issue I saw around the 23:17 mark during the meal with the shaman. There was a quick and awkward cut when we are shown a shocked look by Indiana Jones for a split second that goes by a bit too quickly. This is really only a minor issue and I would not even bother correcting it unless there are more revisions you had in mind. I also know you were working various other edits that should also take priority.

If this edit is any indication, then the rest of your Indiana Jones edits will be a fun watch as well. I was planning to watch them chronologically according to what year they were set so TOD took place before Raiders, which will be up next.

Thank you again and I greatly appreciate the work you and other editors put into this.

Thank you for your review, kind words and recommendation to others for my TOD edit. I hope you enjoy the others as well. In regards to the Meal with the shaman quick and awkward cut issue, I have identified and corrected it. The issue was a overlaps of two layers of video on the cut that I missed I guess. The cut should go to Willie and then back to the Shamen as he continues his story. latest will be a V4 that I will just replace the current so the link should still work for any who want to re-grab it. I will upload tonight as my upload speeds are slow so I rather just let it run while sleeping. Should be there in the morning.

Thanks again.

Sorry meant to say V4. It should be from 1/2 or it might show as 1/3/2024 and would be the latest replacing the old V4
