4+ hr director's cut: gimmie
I'd definitely watch that.
Even tho its a long movie, it did feel short and fast after reading the book lol
I want to see the courtroom showdown scene between Stratt and the copyright holders.
I was so sad this wasn't there. It was such a badass scene in the book. It was effectively just STRATT pulling the Ron Swanson "I can do what I want" and winning.
Stratt's characterisation in the film was very different. She came off as just another member of the hail mary team instead of the badass inhuman utilitarian boss she was in the book. A change for the worse IMO, though I think I'm in the minority there as one of her new scenes is supposedly very popular.
Grace was also quite different for that matter, though I'm more conflicted about that change.
Agreed on the stratt change. They seemingly watered her down a ton. It is what it is though. They also cut out a lot of the prep side if the mission. However they would have to cut something, it was already a 2.5 hour movie 🤣
I'll take a 4 hour director's cut any day!
