Brief Synopsis:
Ripley is rescued by a deep salvage team after being in hypersleep for 57 years. The moon that the Nostromo visited has been colonized, but contact is lost. This time, colonial marines have superior firepower, but will that be enough?
Inspired by my media teacher's hatred for the early Hadley's Hope scenes in Aliens (the only reason that we watched the theatrical cut in class was due to these 2 scenes in the SE), I've created my own cut as a half way point between the Special Edition and the Theatrical without the Hadley's Hope sequence.

Intention:
To preserve the mystery and suspense about what truly happened to the colonists, so that we reveal what happened when Ripley finds out. The scenes also don't really serve the story and take away from the main plot with Ripley so they can go really, the theatrical works wonders without them.

A beautifully done edit of a fantastic film.
I love the Theatrical Cut, and actually really like the director's cut. Watching it after the TC added depth to the movie and its world building, and I find that awesome. However, much like James Cameron himself stated, I felt that the movie was stronger without the Hadley's Hope scenes.
So thank you, Bobson, for finding the perfect balance point between the theatrical and the director's cuts. The editing, as always, is flawless, and the picture and audio are great.

Game over, man! Game over!
My first review of an Aliens fan edit. So is Aliens: No Hope Edition fan edit any good? I may be synthetic, but I'm not stupid... my answer is yes.
Taking out the spoiler of the colony subplot to preserve the mystery and suspense about what actually happened to the colonists was a very simple and effective idea.
The fan edit has limited changes and the best parts of the director's cut have been kept. It was not an easy task to attack a classic like this and I am grateful Bobson did not go Berserker on this :)
The picture and sound quality are perfect. The movie pacing is well kept and I did not notice and hasty cuts.
Aye-firmative Bobson.

I Always felt the director's cut of Aliens was the more definitive version, as it fleshed out many of the already great elements. But, there was sort of a spoiler due to the addition of some scenes in the colony that kinda deflates the directors cut, even if you know what was coming.
Not a huge drawback, but still a drawback.
However, Bobson's fanedit removes those spoiler scenes, making Aliens truly something we experience with Ripley as it happens.
Good job Bobson! Recommend this to everyone, first-time viewers and rewatchers alike. It is the definitive version of Aliens that should have been there in theatres back in 1986.

Definitely my go-to version of this film (a masterpiece of thrilling action, engaging sci-fi, and tense horror) from now on. A beautifully edited halfway point between the theatrical cut and James Cameron's extended director's cut. Fantastic work through and through.
