Review Detail

While it was interesting to see the outtakes and deleted/extended scenes that went into "Alien", it certainly wasn't a seamless cinematic experience with the variable A/V quality, and it really dragged interminably in certain areas. If anything, this edit showcased what a masterclass in editing the theatrical cut of "Alien" really was: streamlined and paced perfectly for maximum effective storytelling.

I would recommend this workprint as a novel curiosity for "Alien" fans, but I'll stick to the theatrical as my preferred "Alien" cut.
