What would be an appropriate phrase to describe how much of a movie already elapsed?

Question

I was watching a movie on my computer and I had to go the bathroom and then my phone rang so I picked it up and talk to a caller. I was unaware I didn't pause the movie on the computer and it turned out that I talked much longer than I tough because when I came back the movie was almost in the middle of its playtime.

I described this in my head in my native language (which is Polish). Verbatim translation would be something like:

Oh look how much of the movie already went by.

Is this a correct phrase describing the fact of how much playtime already happened? or how much of it already elapsed? What would be the most natural way to describe it?

Answer 1

I'd say either:

Look how much of the movie has already gone by/played.

or

"Look how much of the movie went by/played while I was away".

Note that I use present perfect when I don't mention the past time, but I used simple past when I do.

"Elapsed" is correct, but too formal for talking to your girlfriend.
