OK so nobody will probably even read this but as a fan of Aliens and Ridley Scott I have to post my HOW YOU COULD HAVE MADE THIS A CLASSIC IN 10 SIMPLE FIXES! I hate editing movies in my head to make them enjoyable but it seems that nowadays you really have too, OK I'll try to go in order of the film as best as I can remember. 1. Cave paintings, make it uncertain why they are there, invitaion maybe? but debate the other reasons they may be there, like to let us know of other life, or maybe even as a warning, just leave it open to debate until later in the movie when motivations become more clear. 2. Scan from ship sets up a reason for landing where they did, power/life signature, unnatural formations, just something to set a sense of discovery not blind luck. EDIT: They had a good reason for this flight path, memory was a bit foggy on this one. 3. Readings from ship and scientific equipment clearly indicate that it's safe to remove protective gear, or set up a reason why he takes it off, suit malfuntion, could even be latter tied into if David tampered with it. 4. Two guys who want to leave, not because of some 2000yr old alien, but because Davids pushing unknown buttons and crazy things are starting to happen, have whole group more concerned with Davids motivations at this point. 5. Guys get lost, Have some signal disruption going on, make it unlear why, could it be whatever Davids doing, have ship lose signal with crew at this point, sets up not only our lost scientist but the approching storm that they have little warning for. 6. Back in Main chamber have Alien Worm suprise attack them (did you see something moving in there) and the resulting struggle causes the acid spray, this would make more sense and could be a much needed tense moment at this part of the film and it sets up how dangerous the goo will become later. 7. Surgery scene, two things here, one cosmetic and one fix, make the squid monster a little more classic alien looking at this point, make the surgery process make more sense, show tissue reconstruction not staples.EDIT: Creature design here really has no bearing and may be explained later. EDIT 2: what I mean is that she would not be able to function after this operation with way the surgery ended, use sci fi to make her future actions more believable. 8. When the alien ship crashes, set up a reason why the Engineer hunts her down instead of finishing his mission, like what looks like a piece of the debris that lands close to her turn out to be a ejection capsule that opens to reveal the Engineer. 9. in the final fight again have a more classic looking alien squid looking creature that attaches to the Engineers face with a resulting more classic looking chest buster alien come out of his dead body. EDIT: see above edit. 10. When David contacts her about another ship set it up that he can get it to work but that like the first ship it has a pre destined flight path but it's to an unknown star and it's there only option for leaving, I find it wierd that she doesn't want to warn mankind of this impending doom, this would also set up many more theories as too what was really happening on this planet and leave it more open ended for the sequel. Well I hope you like my ideas/thoughts on this and if you have the imagination I do it may help make your memories of this film more enjoyable, lets just hope that Scott ditches that hack Lideldork or whatever his name was and makes a proper end to this beloved franchise tie in.

[B]Faith makes it so her tissue doesn't tear back open while fighting and running minutes after a massive surgery, lol, dude seriously your making my sides hurt stop it. Or better yet go read a book on physiology. Your like a dog that keeps bitting the sore on it's ass because it's blissfully ignorant[/b] Now YOU'RE just being obnoxious, guy. (I suppose YOU'RE a brain surgeon?) That's not what i said. YOU are ignoring the fact that her incision was stapled shut. It's not going to come open when it's stapled closed. This conversation is inane.

Can't wait to see if the extended/cut scenes tie any of the lost direction or motivations of the characters together in a more believable way. It's nice that nowadays we get DVD's mere months after a movies theatrical release, not the long years we sometimes had to wait.

Im out - cant be bothered this has descended into babble and has almost no interesting debate left in it - I will be back with my fixs maybe after a watch of the blu ray - hopefully with a directors cut if there's any brains left in fox's team behind this! I am hoping they work on the helmet scene and the hammerpeade part and getting lost amongst many other parts... that type of pants movie making that was out of sync with the rest of the film (that had some great bits!) - just would be nice to at least try to save some bits of it. I know they cant save the awful boring characters that all got killed anyway - phew! But hey ho heres hoping something specials round the corner! :D
