All of the footage filmed for virals remain as virals. No opening with Weyland.2. Open the movie on the Covenant with Walter.3. The flashback is 12 minutes long and has all of the Shaw stuff.You also had great input about the editing. Didn't mean to exclude you. I don't know the best way to make lemonade, but I'm sure there is enough footage to do something more than was done. It's unfortunate.

It's unfortunate.No way would I ever remove the weyland opening, it's one of the best scenes across either of the prequels and some of the most intelligent dialogue too.
Quote from: Salt The Fries on Aug 04, 2017, 12:15:24 PMOne thing for all of you to ponder on: what if sped-up properties of impregnation came as a result of eggs being directly subjected to accelerant by David as opposed to eggs we know from Alien which might be Xeno-made?What if every subsequent Xeno born within their own life-cycle was genetically inferior and dilluted version of the "Xeno zero" (which enjoys the benefits of the accelerant the most) that was artificially created by David.

I think it has a few minor flaws but think the good far outweighs them and don't believe it has any glaring ones. To be told this is just because I'm 'eating it up, yum yum, is incredibly insulting, ignorant and arrogant.

Quote from: Jonesy1974 on Aug 05, 2017, 05:31:05 AMYes, It's perfectly reasonable to blame Ridley if the film isn't satisfying to you. So long as you're not saying he's senile or lost it and crap like that then I think it's valid to question the decisions he's made.Either the films you're cuppa tea or it's not, it's that simple really.
