      Check out the special edition, it’s obviously the same movie, but much better. I thought the Theatrical edition was decent (liked it more than Resurrection and I thought to was fine).

      You can on BlueRay or just type “Alien 3 Special Edition” in rutracker[dot]org if you are OK with sailing the high seas.

      I will also recommend the Prometheus Chaos Edition fanedit and Alien: Covenant Ninth Circle Edition fanedits.

      I have these versions in my collection and not any official cuts. Especially for Prometheus, it makes the movie far more coherent and less stupid. It’s interesting that mostly extras and deleted scenes were used (some promo content was also integrated in a well done way) which suggests that the problems with Prometheus are mostly due to the editing, seems like Ridley Scott has lost interest in the Alien franchise.

      PM me if anything.

        I think I’ll pass.

        But thank you and here’s an under rated book that I think you’d enjoy.

        “The Guns Above” by Robyn Bennis. Suppose that people in the early 1800’s had access to an unlimited supply of helium? They would naturally build airships!

        The author does a fantastic job of imagining the ship and how it’s operated.

        Lots of fun.
