I think you might be a genius. This is such an improvement in pacing and your scene edits are seamless. I think this film works so much better without Rook, and without the almost 4th wall breaking “get away from her” line. Did you also remove the close up shot of the Reebok shoe that lingers just a bit too long? I can’t remember seeing it in this watch through.

The one cut I found a little jarring was the cut to Andy announcing he has one directive after Navarro wakes up from being face-hugged, but I guess this the best option when editing out an entire character.

I think there is an error on one line of the subtitles. When the gang first see the station at around 17:40, the line “Fuck, that’s big. What is that?” has an incomplete font tag.

Anyway, please ignore any negatives; this is a brilliant edit. I love it!
