Aliens: The Hybrid Cut

by Leonenut
This is the simplest cut of the ALIEN lot, using the Special Edition version simply removes scenes of the colonists and Newt’s family discovering the Space Jockey’s ship. I actually like all the extended scenes in this version but dislike the whole Newt’s family scene (I used to have to skip it every time). I’ve kept the first outdoor shots of “Hadley’s Hope” however as it gives a preview of the “shake and bake” colony. A better paced version.

Your intention for this fanedit:
The Newt’s family scenes always annoyed me, as did the colonists discussing orders from the company. So I removed these scenes, but retained the outdoor shots of the colony as a kind of preview of things to come.

It’s somewhat difficult to call this an edit, because, as Leonenut himself says, it is a simple (minimal in the extreme) edit, I agree with him, though, that I never liked the whole “Newt family” scene either and always skipped it. I’m just not sure if this edit is worth the download for such a basic edit that I couldn’t just skip over in a couple of seconds using my BD player.

The quality of the dit is fine as is the video – it’s just such a basic edit; I find it difficult to rate.
