Review Detail

I have not seen the Alt Universe Cut of ITSV, so I had some uninformed expectations going into this, thinking the scenes chosen were complete but cut. The first extended scene snapped me from that disillusionment, but did not break enjoyment of an already excellent film! Not all the added scenes provide a richer narrative, but the handful which do--billboard chat, Liv's motivations--are superb. It's criminal the extended fight scene at Aunt May's was left on the cutting room floor! The deleted and extended scenes were woven flawlessly into the movie, and the audio balancing was flawless.

I recommend this version to anyone who is a fan of the theatrical version! Though maybe not to a first time viewer who may be thrown off by the storyboard and unfinished CGI scenes.
