Hey everyone! Okay, so last week's poll winner was The Martian. But, we don't know if we should watch the extended edition, or the theatrical cut. We've made a mini poll below so you can let us know which one to watch. The poll will only be open for voting until 8am tomorrow (PST) And then right after I post this poll, I am going to be posting our regular Tuesday poll, so today you get 2!

Honestly both are good

inspectordh

I agree. Great movie either version

Karl Ries

Not sure about this case, but the theatrical is usually more readily available for people. I only recommend extended cuts when it makes a clear difference in the quality of the film; Kingdom of Heaven for example.

MotoDork

My belief is that ANY time there is a directors/extended/special edition cut available, it should be watched over the theatrical cut.

Michael Short

didn't you release the Martian reaction yesterday? i'm confused lol

Michael Short

lol oops, yes it was lol. my brain isn't working today haha

Thomas Yanez

Extended version has some of the best laughs

djKENTO

extended comes with every digital release

djKENTO

Extended comes with pretty much every digital version and the physical 4K has both on it.

MotoDork

You are allowed exceptions. I’ll probably watch it though. Some special editions that are absolute watches: Aliens Terminator 2 Blade Runner (Final Cut) Dances With Wolves (Expanded Edition) Watchmen Note: Aliens and Terminator 2 will be listed as “Special Edition.” Any extended cut of a James Cameron film not labeled as such is just a money grab by the studio and should be avoided. It will not be a cut that is approved by Cameron.

MotoDork

I knew there was another one I was forgetting!

Chris Miller

Oh, the extended edition, no question.

MotoDork

You’re not wrong.

Rhiannon

I agree that it's likely usually the case! Another example where it actually isn't better - Empire Records - the original cut is better in my opinion. It could just be because it's such a nostalgic movie for me, but the scenes they added back felt unnecessary and sort of random.

Rhiannon

Interesting - why do you say that? I tend to disagree in general, but not always of course. As a LOTR fan, I think the extended cuts provide more context that was missing from the theatrical cuts - although I understand not everyone agrees on that point. But a favorite movie of mine from the 90s, Empire Records - didn't need the director's cut. The scenes added back felt out of place to me.

Rich

I voted for theatrical because that's what I own and what's available on streaming services

ShadowDrgn

I haven't watched the extended cut so not sure how that is

MotoDork

I will concede that sometimes the extended cut may be worse. I contend that this is usually because the the extended cut was put out by the studio and not the director. For example, the Terminator 2 Ultimate Edition. This was an extended cut that contained extra scenes Cameron cut out and never wanted in the film. This was a studio release. The only James Cameron authorized extended cut of that film is the Special Edition. Another would be the Richard Donner Cut of Superman II. That’s as close as we will get to Donner’s original vision of the film.

Gary Poussard

I wasn't meaning in general regarding all movies just with The Martian in particular I think the theatrical is the better version.

christopher b swanson

to be clear as a massive movie fan and middle aged guy with more history............most movies are best as theatrical cuts and very few extended or director cuts are worth it.........its a great movie but this doesnt need the extended version to be seen to be loved............there are exceptions but not here
