I was thinking more of when Newt was in the water, Ripley and Hicks had to cut through the great, but a xenomorph warriors got to her first, only other instance of Aliens swimming were again in Resurrection but also in the pool in Aliens vs Predator Requiem. You'd thinking that an Aliens soft reboot would be the thing 20th century studios/Disney would be clamoring for the franchise. The studio wouldn't likely let Neill Blomkamp do Alien Awakening a risky, filmmaker driven project with creative control, they'd want something tame, safe, familiar, formulaic, nostalgic, cookie cutter rehash. Honestly despite mixed results I'd like more from Alien whether it be Ridley Scott's final Prequel film, or Alien 5, doesn't seem likely though.
