Next attempt will be an afternoon.
I wish you luck watching it man, it really is an amazing movie. I miss Scotts super tight two hour movies that were really good. Alien and Blade Runner would be the best examples of this. In the last 20 years his movies generally have to be longer to be really good, e.g. Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, The Martian. I like Alien: Covenant and Prometheus, but they are not his best to be sure.
