It was on my list because of the soundtrack, so when I didn't hear the iconic track at all during the movie I looked it up.

Turns out that there is a re-scored version with a completely different soundtrack, and that was the version we got...

. Featuring an exclusive new soundtrack curated by Zane Lowe.

I will be watching this movie again next weekend, with the proper soundtrack

Ok, I am super curious, because I don't know what version I have seen, or how to identify the other version!

I watched "San Andreas Quake: Magnitude 10", waited for a long time wondering where is The Rock before I understood I The Asylum tricked me. Later, I saw the real movie but it was less fun than the mockbuster.

I don't think I have, but someone has to have watched a different Spiderman than they intended.

Yup. Before Drive was officially released there was a pirated "screener" copy online with a different, and in my opinion better, soundtrack. It enhanced the movie in a more effective way than what we got in the official release. Especially the elevator scene.

Watched the movie again when it officially came out and went "wait a minute, this isn't right".

Not even sure if the screener copy is still available anywhere.

There's a version of Morrissey's Irish Blood, English Heart that hit the radios before it was released, and it was waay better than what we actually got:

no weird comical sound effects, cleaner sound, the high guitar could be heard way better, and the ending riff was a harmonious one, not some eclectic free-for-all.

After years of believing I had hallucinated/mandela'd the whole thing, I finally found it:

The Janice Long Radio cut

I am not sure if this counts but my mom put on Alien for me on Hulu, and it had some weird cuts in it. Turns out I had Hulu w/ Live TV so it was probably a cable edit of the film.

I ended up giving it an 8/10 but I bet I would have rated it higher if the cuts weren't so strange. I'll need to buy it on 4K and watch it properly at some point.

Yeah for some reason Stremio glitched once and played totally the wrong movie. I can't remember what I was trying to watch, but it ended up being about some weird US-Russian war from the folks on the ISS.I

I didn't realize what was going on until 75% of the way in

Could it have been the movie version of Eon by Greg Bear? Haven't seen the movie, but sounds very similar to the book.

Side note: it took me like 6 years and a lot more reading before ran into Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke and realized that Eon was...heavily inspired by that book.

wtf the music and colors and photography made that movie. a real hero is a fantastic track.

It took me a good fifteen minutes to realize Grand Moff Tarkin wasn't in the Universal version of the Mummy.

Watched „Children of men“ expecting a good movie.

Turns out it’s some religious hate bs story.

Was really disappointed because the quality of the actors and the whole technical setup made the impression of a „could be good“-movie
