Zack Snyder's Star Wars

Auralnauts has redone the first Star Wars movie, now known as A New Hope, as if Zack Snyder has been at the helm. The story is familiar, but now chock full of Snyderesque touches, like the overuse of a slow motion shift for dramatic emphasis (executed perfectly at 8:50), unnecessary lingering on gory details, and nonsensical exposition in the dialogue. All this comes with an over-the-top score to clearly tell us what we are supposed to be feeling. While these tropes can be tiring over a whole movie, you have to admit that they greatly improved the originally lame lightsaber fight between Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Oh, and the ending telegraphs the fact that Snyder just ran out of time. Those slow motion sequences sure do eat up cinematic minutes!  (via Boing Boing)
