Advent & Other Deletes

[Corporal Hicks]

Has anyone outside the US purchased a copy and got the features?

Just watched the full Phobos short. Was kinda cool. Some cool character stuff. I wouldn't take it too seriously though, what with them using bits of Alien in the test but still fun!

[Nukiemorph]

Phobos was cool.  A nice little bit of bonus character development.  I like to think the sounds and images of the aliens weren't actually part of the test, more like prophetic associations for the audience.

I just watched the extended/deleted scenes.  I'm kind of insulted by most of them.  Cutting a line or two of dialogue isn't worth a special feature.  The only scene I wish had been left in is Crossing the Plaza, but even that wasn't terribly important.

[Protozoid]

Are any of the deleted scenes completely new, or are they all extensions of scenes in the theatrical cut?

[Nukiemorph]

There are a few that are totally new, but they're still pretty inconsequential.

For example:  Daniels has a flashback to a moment in her Earth bedroom.  She and Franco talk about their damn cabin... which had been plenty established in multiple other scenes anyway.  The only thing that makes the scene interesting is that it would have been the most of Earth we'd ever seen in the series, but it's just a glimpse of a snow-covered city through a window.

For me whatever was with Franco in the movie worked, but some people wanted more.

I kind of wanted a little more Franco too so I was looking forward to seeing this scene.  I don't know what the hell I expected from it.  I almost feel stupid for expecting them to talk about something other than their stupid cabin.

I can confirm that they are.

I watched the awesome Advent short, a couple of deleted scenes, a listened to a bit with Scott's commentary.

How do i access them?

ummm... David has definitely got more than just a few loose screws. 

I guess Shaw missed 'em when she tightened his nut back into place.

This is very cool, is that a deleted scene? or a making of thingy. I don't understand why this sort of dialog isn't in the movie.

It's one the virals. I'm working to get them uploaded for the site.

I did it on my iPhone.  Apparently you have to be connected to wi-fi, which is stupid.  If you are, the extras menu should pop up on the bottom of the screen after you hit "play".  If it's not there, poke at the screen a bit.

Nice. I'll be buying them when they come out, but it's cool to see the extras.

[Corporal Hicks]

The deleted scenes are largely just meh. Some kinda nice character moments but over all just little bits of trimming and nothing really massive.
