Enjoyment
8.0
I like the theatrical version of Alien very much and it is still my favorite cut of the film.
I think i saw the extended version once, but at the time didnt like the scene where ripley finds Dallas cocooned…
However, watching this version years later its a good alternative the only thing that bugs me is the choppy audio during the landing sequence at the beginning, its too distracting to watch comfortably but generally thats the only negative thing for me – like the reconstructed workprint reason for making this so i keep it alongside the theatrical version.
overall 8/10
