Review Detail

Incredible work. Raises the score of the original film by two full letter grades. There's nothing that can make our Alien baddies a little less visible, and therefore more scary, in the daylight sequence at the end of the film, but this version allowed me to reflect on how many couples there are in the film. Two habitable planets. Two black aliens. A crew of couples. Two androids. Two land-rovers. Two facehugger embryos. A two-film trilogy. Interesting, but I digress.. This edit helped me not only appreciate but understand the film better. If it were to gain wide attention it would cause a critical re-evaluation, and I couldn't help but think this is the definitive version. I used to only tolerate this film, but now I might like it more than Prometheus. Masterful.
