I've been watching a fan edit with most of the material back in and it still a the same boring but pretty film as before. A extended cut will not help this movie. It's the same as the AvP extended cut, nothing can make up for a bad script.
I have also been watching a fan edit with the deleted and extended scenes re-inserted and I respectfully disagree.
Some of the smaller scenes, like "We are no longer alone", "Our first alien", "skin", and the like bring a greater sense of continuity to the film, making latter actions taken now make sense in terms of the broader narrative, instead of being things that just happen.
Janek Fills Vickers In and The Engineer Speaks both bring a sense of depth to the film that was missing before, and the latter just about changes the entire point of the film.
Extended scenes like the King Has His Reign scene between Vickers and Weyland bring character to those that had little.
The alternate Fifield Attacks brings a sense of consistency across the title's creature design that I didn't realize the film was lacking until I saw it.
And that's just the ones I remember off the top of my head.
I definitely think an extended cut is the better cut of the film.
