If you ever feel like watching some fan edits of movies you can check here for downloads:
Reviews/recommendations for any edits you watch are more than welcome here.
PSA: If Google drive says you can't download the file, try signing into your Google account then accessing the link, should download then!
I recommend the Jingle All the Way ('Kreeep' Restored and Regraded Director's Cut).

TASM2 Untold Finale Edition makes it a 9/10 movie.
Not even joking.

Also I've been hearing that the Hybrid Cut of NeverEnding Story is better than the original. I'll probably check that out soon.

Hybrid Cut is good, but it's changed a few things I personally prefer were not.
They took away the awesome opening credits and replaced it with plain black credits (although I do prefer the German credit music over the Limahl song). I would personally have it so the German credit music plays to the international credit visuals and sync up the timing.
Only other gripe I had was when Atreyu first sets off on his quest on his horse. In the international version the music is quite "fast" paced but not too fast and the violins are higher in octave which makes it better IMO, but in this Hybrid cut they seem to have opted for the German scoring where the music isn't as upbeat and feels wrong.
It's definitely better than the "original" for 95% of the movie. But there's just those things I mentioned that stop it being perfect for me. Has the best picture quality out of all other versions of the film though.
Out of 5 I'd give it a 4.

I'm working with the guy who made the Hybrid Cut to make a complete International Cut. So that will probably exist eventually. I've just now got the remaining files sorted from my side of things. Rest is up to the other dude now.

Since my last post I discovered a shot from the original theatrical trailer that doesn't exist in any version of the film and was later removed from remastered versions of the theatrical trailer. Luckily the trailer with the rare shot was uploaded to Youtube as a 35mm 2K video (1440p). So as part of these fan edits, I remastered it myself. I had to first upscale the video to 4K, which then made downscaling to 1080p have it gain quality (decreasing image sizes increases quality). As a result, I modified every single individual frame to remove blemishes and pixelation and add more HD detail. This is the final result (sharing this little preview early since it's basically all my own work) : www.mediafire.com/file/qqgwh1vwczn5azn/Auryn.7z/fileWould appreciate any/all feedback/comments on this. If you'd like to see the original shot for reference (and what source I had to work with) you can find that here: The clip itself is at about 37 seconds into the trailer. |

Sorry, but these generally aren't my expertise... I have skimmed through some fan edits of the Kenobi series that trim it down to 2.5-ish hours, which do improve the pacing somewhat and remove some of the extraneous crap.

Long time no update.
Things are getting back on track. The cut should be finalized/released in January, all things going well. Just got a few tweaks to make here and there and polish it up and it'll be good to go.

Just when we thought we had it completed we discovered there was more music we needed to restore to certain scenes, so we're just finalizing those things up ready for release next month.

I never (no pun intended) got into The NeverEnding story.

It's based on a book by Michael Ende who wound up hating the movie and tried to have it stopped legally and failed because it deviated a lot from the original book. Yet the sequel movies are seen as worse/terrible and the book isn't considered to be as good as the first movie.
So make of that what you will.

Well perhaps this edit can sway you, but then perhaps not.
