Synopsis:

This is Alien Resurrection, less weird, shorter, more “logical”, to me anyway. Maybe it will alienate you though!


Intentions:

I’m one of those who quite liked Alien Resurrection when I saw it in theater. Maybe because the director is also french, I don’t know, lol. Still, there are plenty of nonsens, weak suspens and a kind of poor ending in this movie, and multiple viewings do not help. Do not hope to see a completely different movie, it is still the same story and events (mostly), but I think the new cuts make the whole thing go at a nice pace (I could have cut even more lines, as it is a very talkative movie, but 1h30 is short enough for an Alien movie, I feel). This a "fanMix" in the way that some major changes happen, but mostly during the finale. Otherwise I would call this edit a "FanFix". It's up to you to make your own idea anyway!


Change List:

- Reorganisation of the opening credits. - Plenty of small cuts all along the edit as well as removing of some lines. - Some of the 2003 additional scenes are in this edit, but not all of them and most of the time not in their entirety. - Color “correction”: more grey-blue, less yellow - Some shots of the first “Alien vs Predator” movie are used. - Complete reorganization of some scenes in order to: . make the action more believable and less cartoony, . avoid poor suspens in favor of a bit more tension/action (when doable…) . make the movie running at an hopefully better pace. - Lots of cropping (from the HD version in order to keep he best quality possible). - The end is more or less the same as in the original, but also… completely different!

Special Thanks:

Thanks to Uncanny Antman for providing honest and useful feedback on my workprint. I also use one of his idea for a major change in an action scene. Thanks to Q2 and Throwncpr for technical help. I forgot to credit user AVP in the edit but he also provided technical help. Thanks Paul!
