I greatly preferred the CGI mutant to Oddbod Jr doing yoga.

Some of the scenes are sadly missed and would make the film more interesting especially if other scenes were dropped.

The engineer with the removed sequences seems more of a victim of his alien creations than a rampaging mummy.

The way he ponders the mobile and the image of the girl playing the violin, only to get hit with an axe by the 'believer'.

If Alien was a sci-fi riff on Dracula, this shows how the film could have been a pretty good riff on Frankenstein, much more than Blade Runner was.

Some of the deleted scenes just underline what is already wrong with the piece like the awful Our First Alien scene or anything where Holloway is dismissing the most important find in history as a loud of dead bodies.

I preferred vodka swigging rudely hair pulling Shaw the one at the end of the theatrical cut too.
