Scrubbing the detail is common these days and is a quick fix for digital displays accommodating the pixel.
Aliens (1986)
Although James Cameron did his directors cut and the film is a great action flick a lot of fun and thrills very rewatchable There is a a feeling it does not quite work with Hadleys hope scenes. It needs an Ultimate cut.
Personally If I were to address this issue the actual start of the Hadleys hope part is correct in it’s placement. But the journey to the derelict is not with Mewts family. I think Newt dreaming in the medical bay is where it should go like a dream or flashback. This would then lead to the planted facehiggers by Carter Burke.
I reckon all the extra deleted scenes are good apart from Drake’s scene looking for Newt I would not include this one. But the rest are pretty good dialogue and story.
A couple of bits from the Skotak brothers are missing a search light on the Narcissus at the very start of the film and prepping the 2nd drop ship model on Sulaco shots never released.
There is also contained in the making of documentary extension to Burkes Death as alien attacks Burke from doorway in red lit corridor. Burke being cocooned does not work.
So when it comes to the sentry guns scene some of the aliens being shot apart was taken from the Alien Hive Ambush and are missing from there. Also there is confusing edit on the Explosion in the Hive soldiers name escapes me but there is a shot missing. The APC was meant to shoot open the wall before driving off. There is extra model footage of driviving in the coridor.
The Alien attacking shots for Spunkmire death and the female dropship pilot death are wrong way around. The scenes of the Alien should be swapped back to correct order. There is extended footage of that dropship crash also. Similar to the guns continuity fix cameron did already.
The miniature Alien Queen looks bad when Ripley runs away with newt from egg chaber. Would be far better to use close ups if awailable. The theatrical trailer contains an extra shot of the Alien Queen not found in the film i think back aboard.
So I reckon the directors cut can be improved upon. I think it’s worth another go for an Ultimate cut. Also somehow it is graded Teal rather than Blue / purple grade which is signature Cameron color pallette.
