Extended version is the way to go

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2019)

I've now seen both long and short versions. Yes the extended version adds filler, but with these story driven films, time and structure is critical. I believe the extended version is more epic and offers more to the audience. This is a film in the style of The Godfather and a longer running time for the characters was worthwhile. I've increased from 7 to 9 as it's still not a grand storytelling. This is still a great film, and if you haven't seen it or have only seen the cinema cut, the extended is my recommendation. Ridley Scott tends to be a filmmaker that has embraced the home market for extended or director's cut versions.
