Alien 3 - Third Cut (Released) — Page 5

Link

I finally saw this in my Quest 2 as for some reason most of my devices still won’t play it. Forbtge first time the fire and the lead works scenes made actual sense. I would have trimmed or moved a few more exchanges.

Basic edits that might have helped more.

I would have had the theatrical Ripley death. The one seen in the assembly cut looks like an action figure. And the way Ripley embraces the doomed Queen makes it look she has even gained compassion for the thing that has killed her friends and ruined her life.

I would heavily trim the expletives so they they sound more naturally derived from the situations the characters are in. They often feel forced.

The “ass end of space” speech needs a bit of attention. It always sounded like Ripley is winking at the audience and acknowledging she is in the final part of a trilogy.
“it was crew expendable” I would change to “my crew was expendible” for example. Making it more about her experience and less about the film series. Generally the dialogue nerds to sound like how real people speak and less portentious. “what sort of animal would do this to a dog” needs to sound a little less like a quiz host announcing a prize.

If there is a music free track I would remove some of the repeating themes. It’s not a bad score but too much of it is reused.

I would cut the Narcissus radio message. Instead I’d go back to the ox and have a 3rd chest buster come out. Sure it’s cheese worthy of an Elm Street movie but it makes sense story wise and isn’t another Romulus style call back.

The big fixes would obviously be replacing the rod puppet which always looks bad and maybe making the face hugger into the queen face hugger somehow to explain how more than one embryo was implanted.

That’s my thoughts.

It’s still a great but flawed movie.

is this still available? Link please! Thanks!
(Acctually if anyone has the link please PM me, because maybe the editor didnt see this, thanks!)

Hi, if anyone has a link to this I would be very grateful. I actually like both of the ‘official’ versions of Alien 3 and would love to see what it looks like closer to being finished!

If you track down a link then please send me a copy too, thanks!

If it’s at all possible, I would really love a link to this. It sounds amazing.

Hoping there’s still a link available please.

Excellent work, loved the edit and the subtle but effective changes throughout. Although I was in the minority in already liking the movie, this is now the go-to version.

Could I have the link please? Much appreciated!
