Review Detail

This was my second time watching Aliens (1986), and I enjoyed the movie significantly more than I did the first time. I didn’t notice any cuts and was surprised to find that a jarring cut I noticed was already present in both the theatrical cut and the special edition. The editing work is truly marvelous. However, I did find the bitrate/encoding of the edit to be a bit rough, particularly with artifacts appearing in most dark scenes. This might be noticeable if you’re accustomed to watching movies straight from Blu-ray or in theaters. Nonetheless, this is undoubtedly the best way to experience this movie. It skillfully adds the best scenes and removes the worst.
