What an improvement! Seamless trims, excellent sound (high-bitrate stereo) and picture quality. I didn't miss any of the cut bits. In this edit, shorter is clearly better.
MY biggest compliment is for the new pacing: it's obviously faster, but it doesn't *feel* fast. It still feels authentic for a movie from this era. I imagine the temptation to cut another 10+ minutes from the film, to speed up the story even more. That would no doubt have cut into the "meat" of the story, whereas Robulon succeeds in cutting the "fat" out of the story.
My only markdown is for several far-fetched turns in the plot. Nothing against the editor, simply acknowledging the imperfect material Robulon had to work with.
