Synopsis: Fifty-seven years after surviving an apocalyptic attack aboard her space vessel by merciless space creatures, Officer Ripley awakens from hyper-sleep and tries to warn anyone who will listen about the predators. Although she is ignored at first, when contact with colonists on a planet thought safe is suddenly lost, Ripley and a military team are sent to confront the aliens.

Intentions: The extended Special Edition is my preferred cut in comparison to the theatrical, but I cut a number of the additions, including the Hadley's Hope sequence, the Hamster scare, Hudson's discussion about insect queens, and the final, romantically tense, exchange between Ripley and Hicks. My cut is seven minutes shorter than the Special Edition.
