Confused about this movie

Can anyone tell me which one i should watch apparently this thing has a full motion movie which is according to the wiki is 2 episodes mashed together into 1 movie and the other one is 6 episodes like a tv show. Theyre both on netflix on different regions. However i dont understand what the hell the wiki is talking aqbout since it says its 2 episodes made into 1 movie when the other movie/tv show apparently consists of a total of 6 episodes.

Edit: What im getting the impression of is that 2 episodes from the original show is considered a volume in a trilogy which adds up though but im still uncertain can someone clarify. I want to watch it since the full motion picture is about to leave netflix soon.

Yes, your impression is correct. The six tv episodes are also three films. I think the better choice is to watch the six tv episodes, which I got via Netflix.

Ah alright thanks for the clarification and quick reply. This thing had me confused for long that was the main reason i never got around to watching it, kind of the same with the "Millenium" Trilogy/movies where ive only watched Finchers version yet. I was opting for the long version to gert the whole experience as well guess i can just skip the theatrical cut then.

So how long are the 6 episode miniseries?

I have Netflix but Arn isn't on it.

I've seen the combined international release of 2 hours and 13 minutes or 133 minutes (titled under this first film - Arn: The Knight Templar - and labeled 2007).

But the first film - Arn: The Knight Templar (2007) is actually 139 minutes based on wikipedia.

The second film - Arn: The Kingdom at Road's End (2008) - 128 minutes according to IMDB.

So a total of 267 minutes for both films.

EDIT: I just checked IMDB and the miniseries is 4 hours and 24 minutes or 264 minutes. So I guess it's just the first 2 films with no additional footage edited into 6 parts?

That's understandable. This, eh, "thing" was made by cooperation between the major film company in Sweden, other film company and some TV stations and the same material was used to make two movies as well as a six episode TV mini serie. And to make things even more confusing they cut everything down to a single film for the international release.
