Murderbot is a *perfect film*

A couple months ago, we sat down on a weekend and decided to binge re-watch the whole debut season of Murderbot and it was really enjoyable. But fast-forwarding through all the recaps and title/credits screens quickly got old, and I wondered what it'd be like to cut all ten episodes of the first season into one continuous movie someday.

The total runtime of all ten episodes (without weekly recaps but with everything else included) combined is 4 hours, 17 minutes.

Today I imported all episodes into iMovie, then edited out the cruft by hand and ended at a final cut that is 3 hours, 28 minutes long. That's a tad much for an action-packed film, but it's quickly becoming normal for today's blockbusters in terms of length.

And yes, I did it fast so there are a few jarring cuts, but I now have an entertaining as hell movie with zero interruptions. I even used a local version of whisper to create accurate subtitles that I baked back into the file.

This is going to be the perfect thing to watch on any future cross-country flights once I get it downloaded to my iPad.

Unfortunately, I can't really share the movie file here but any friends who already are connected to me on Plex can stream it from my server.
