How Do These Snyder Cut Scenes Compare to the Released 'Justice League' Scenes? | No Film School

The Snyder Cut is one of those things that felt like it would be lost to time. When it moved from being a legend to something that was happening, I didn't hold my breath. I did not believe Snyder would get the time, money, or cast together to be able to complete his vision.

But I was stupid and wrong.

By all accounts, Snyder's return to the DC World came at the perfect time. HBO Max was desperate for noisy content and needed a big draw. What's bigger than a franchise director finally getting to show us what we've been waiting to see?

The superhero movie we were promised.

So what will the Snyder Cut hold? And what will be different? We cannot be totally sure, but probably lots of new footage and plotlines. All we have is the trailer for now. But Mebta put that trailer side by side with the Joss Whedon film to show us the differences we could see right off the bat.

Check it out, and let's talk after the break.

How Do These Snyder Cut Scenes Compare to the Released Justice League Scenes?

They made the trailer to showcase new footage, so you have to expect a ton of it to be original and not comparable. But two things that stood out to me in the trailer comparisons are color and angle.

It looks like the Snyder Cut is taking back the muted and "realistic" tones of the previous films and replacing the Whedon pops of purples and reds he used to make the movie look comic book-y. Though it could be a side effect of watching a trailer and comparing it with a movie, the Snyder Cut also feels like it is prioritizing wider angles in some of the over-the-shoulder scenes.

Another obvious change is character and set design. Steppenwolf is now covered in spiked armor, and Superman appears to be in his black suit for much longer inside the story of the movie.

The town in Eastern Europe they save in the movie looks like it's tweaked to reflect a different area, and there are rumors that family won't even be in the cut.

Another big change is the choreography in some of the shared scenes. We won't know until we actually see the movie, but people appear to move differently. It's possible Snyder used different takes of the same scenes, which he favored.

What's the Hype With 'Interstellar' Revisiting Cinemas After a Decade in 70mm IMAX?

Here's Why You Need to Revisit 'Interstellar' in 70mm IMAX

Celebrate the love and hope at the center of Nolan's space epic in the format it was meant to be seen.

If we know anything about Christopher Nolan, he likes to go big. Nolan started with smaller-scale stories (as many of us do) with early noir adjacent works like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, then started going and staying big with his illusionist drama The Prestige. Since then, the scale has been various degrees of massive, with the biggest scope in his time-and-space sprawling epic, Interstellar.

While Interstellarmight not be everyone's favorite Nolan outing, there's no denying it's an impressive feat of filmmaking and his most emotional—if watching Matthew McConaughey's Cooper desperately try to reach his family through quantum space-time doesn't make you cry at least a little bit, what's going on, dude?

With Interstellar'sIMAX release, it's a great time to shed some tears in a public setting in one of the most prestigious film formats around. As we mentioned in our film gauge piece, Nolan loves shooting on film and utilizes 65mm intentionally to provoke a tone of massive scale. In that regard, Interstellar was made for 70mm IMAX. That goes without saying, dawg. That being said, other factors make Interstellar a perfect movie to revisit in theaters while you can.

Let's break down the release further below.
