There are scenes missing throughout. Existing scenes have been truncated. In some scenes dialogue has been cut, while in others, alternate dialogue has been dubbed over the original(to make the plot fit more with the truncated version of it). The entire fifth act was also cut, and all of the backs tory to Scott Glenns character went too. Glenn and Watson were never jump straight into bed. It appears this way in the truncated version of the film because a cut was made between the point in the film where they meet, and the scene where they make love. This cut removed almost an entire act, which depicted the development of the romantic relationship between the two characters, It would have been in this act that Glenns character was developed. We would have found out more about him, who he is, his back story etc. Glenn`s character was never meant to remain as mysterious as he appears in the theatrical version of the film. We would have learned more about Molosar too. We would even have found out why the two characters look so alien.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-72276465323325946022012-02-25T14:14:32.182-08:002012-02-25T14:14:32.182-08:00I didn't really have a problem with the specia...I didn't really have a problem with the special effects here, sure they could have made some cooler death scenes with modern effects but I didn't feel that the primitive effects were what was holding the film back.Bonjour Tristessehttp://www.bonjourtristesse.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-29697668743719916472012-02-25T14:14:31.146-08:002012-02-25T14:14:31.146-08:00Thanks!

Not because the story was particularly bad (it wasn't), but because the proper technology in special effects wasn't around to enhance and move the story along.<br /><br />Somewhat similar to the adaptation of Thomas Wolfe's 'The Right Stuff' and director, Philip Kaufman's reliance on excellent, quickly cut model work. Due to the exorbitant cost of fledgling CGI effects.Jack Dethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-46375564921367853132012-02-25T12:43:58.059-08:002012-02-25T12:43:58.059-08:00nazis and jews cooperating sounds like an interest...nazis and jews cooperating sounds like an interesting premise.The Reel Fotohttp://reelfoto.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-556159764413551252.post-18340586204725355512012-02-25T12:43:56.048-08:002012-02-25T12:43:56.048-08:00Good review.
