sometimes I cant even tell the diffrence between directors cut and original release. i.e. Dawn remake

"SPOILER"
The problem with "Redux" is that you get to much information about the main character played by Martin Sheen....In this version he is smiling, fucking and having a good time...When you suddenly see this the character from the "theatrical" version is destoyed....The troubeled, non happy alcoholic psycho exist no more..:mad:

I would agree that the director's cut for both ALIEN and ALIENS were better than the originals. I think that they both had sceens that would have better explained the charcters. For example, the part about Riply finding out that her daughter is died at the beginning of Aliens should have been kept b/c it would explain why Riply fell into a "mother" role with Nute. In Alien the part were Riply finds her crew cocconed would have been needed to better justify Aliens b/c with Alien the alien just killed people in the original cut, but in Aliens we learn that the aliens take the humans to be cocconed. But then again they ignored the whole coccon idea in Alien 3, everybody just died in that movie. Speaking of Alien 3, in the director's cut they should have kept the sceen were they show what a Queen facehugger looked like but then the audience would know that Riply had a queen in her so that would have destoried the movie for the perpose of suspense I guess.

T2 director's cut. Hmmmm...
I'm fine with the original cut.

Chronicals of Ridic.
Hated this movie, I hated Pitch Black so I knew that I would hate Ridic. And the version I first saw was the director's cut b/c I waited to rent it, that way I waste less money.

Aliens had a good one, I agree.

ya i heard sbout that. it was gory enough from the first place anyway. blew off the guy's hand lol. where can I find the directors cut of that?


o btw, the first time I saw that, I was like 6 or 7, and the scene with the guy rolling through the toxic waste gave me nighmares for months lol.

Trouble with the Aliens Special Edition (or "Director's Cut", whatever) is the early introduction to the doomed colonists changes the angle of the opening reel - if we first see the throb of actual life around the complex, rather than slowly discover evidence that something bad has happened here, but to how many people? (as in the original cut) then the whole feel of the marines' investigation seems rather more predictable.

I always found these scenes in the ghostly complex very effective before the whole backstory of the colonists was inserted.

I agree, but we kind of knew how many people when the guy tells Riply that over 40 families are on LV-426. But I do agree, the only thing really needed from the director's cut is the Riply mother thing and the cool motion tracking gunns those would have been cool to see more of.

As far as the ghostly feeling of the colony, I think that even though Cameron wanted to make a film that was similar to Ridly's Alien in that Alien was Texas Chainsaw Massacure meets 2001: A Space Odyesse. But its clear that Aliens ended-up being more of an action flick so the suspense and ghostly feeling was not totaly neccessary but it was a good aspect to trying to make the movie scary.
