I've made more changes than I can be bothered counting, but my main focus has been:

1. Removed all references to Sebastian's idiotic "metric time" watch.
2. Re-ordered events to lengthen the Aliens' gestation time as much as is possible. (Not much to work with, but you do what you can. )
3. Dropped as many of the cringe-worthy lines as possible. I've needed to retain one or two to help with flow, but most have come out without fuss.
4. Take out a lot of jibber-jabber. The characters don't seem to be able to not talk for more than ten seconds, so I've removed a fair bit of non-essential small talk.
5. Altered all Predator-vision shots to be more like the first two Pred films. I did not dig Anderson's Tang-vision.
6. Added the Predator's triple heartbeat to all P.O.V. shots.
7. Re-edited the main fight between 'Scar' and 'Grid' Not a whole lot better, but re-ordered it and removed a bunch of shots that I personally hated.
8. Altered the colour-timing on the whole flick. Those muted grey shadows that turned up a lot gave me the shits.
9. Ummm...[thinking, thinking...]

That's the main stuff I can remember. There's tweaks in every scene of the film, but a lot of it will probably go unnoticed. I'll be doing a detailed list of alterations once the cut is locked.
