So like everyone else I'm killing time......124 days, 14 mins an 31 seconds at my last count.... Watching the blu ray anthology and got to number 3...watching the Directors cut.. I've owned the quadrilogy on dvd but this seems to have an even longer Directors cut.... and got to say, although it is quite a bit longer I think it's far better than the theatrical version, think the difference in story really adds to the tension... I've never really hated on Alien 3, compared to Alien an Aliens it isn't as good, but compared to Resurrection and the AVP's it's great. Has anyone else watched the Directors cut on 3, thoughts?

Yer I think this cut is much better, born from an ox not a dog the scene where they trap the Alien only for Golic to let it out again and you dont see the queen born at the end oh yes much better

I should probably give it a rewatch. I have heard Directors Cut is better. I love Fincher, but I hated 3. I must be in the minority because except for the design of the hybrid creature I did like Ressurection. I do have the Anthology so I'll check it out definently.

i enjoyed the extra footage in alien 3 quadrilogy. however the score was poor in the end scenes, it looses its rythm with the action and is rehashed for the changes in the scene. i still think this is one of the best soundtracks of all, epic! - a personal favourite of mine.

I have seen it just three days ago. I have the quadrilogy for some time now, but choose to see "Alien" again and again and again, only now developing the curiosity to see the others (that I saw, of course, at their theatrical premieres _ "Alien" included). I also never disliked the "3". For me the really better change in the "cut" was the erasing of the queen´s birth in the end, that was somewhat appelative. But the ox-born xenomorph is not a so good idea in my humble opinion; first, because the resulting xeno is actually more dog-like than ox-like; and second because it put at a loss the very first attack, because the inmate was looking for the already dead dog, after all.

So, I could not find my Alien DVD, because I was do for a Alien fix. So, I requested that whoever went to the store to get me another copy of Alien, director cut in Blue ray. What walks in the door? Alien Anthology in Blue Ray with two extra discs. The Scifi gods have smiled upon me. Oh, and I watched Alien last evening in Blue Ray. AWESOME!!

While i think the directors cut was overall Better, i must admit that the alien Coming from the ox is not really believable As the aliem boen from.an ox should be a larger and bulker alien. But the result was a man sized alien which was sprinting fast like A dog.

I love Fincher (SE7EN, ZODIAC, PANIC ROOM, DRAGON TATTOO), but ALIEN3 is beset with so many conflicts between the Money People & the Artisan People that the behind-the-scene would probably make a better movie than the movie itself.
