Guess who has TWO thumbs and really needs to see 2019 version: back story- I saw the original at a drive-in with my parents. Loved the film my whole life, loved the redux for other reasons and felt it changed NOTHING in the film except the pacing. The redux is for the person that saw the film a bunch of times, knows the history of the film, the conflict and wants to bask in all that detail for, what’s the runtime? 202 minutes? Damn!!! It’s like the LOTR of war movies at that point.

Managed to see the final cut on release in Imax. Seeing that film on a big screen like that is transformative. That would have worked as a first viewing because of the lack of distraction across the whole run time.
