    they cut 17 minutes for the theater release, including the colony scene with newt’s family and the autoturret scene. so glad they added all that stuff back in

      I was fine with them cutting out the beginning with the colonists and Newt’s parents, to be honest.

      All of that is explained effectively and visually by the marine’s first entering the base and doing their recon, and then later with the revelation that Burke sent them there when Ripley confronts him. The whole first part was redundant because other than Newt they’re only purpose is to tell the audience what we already know.

        sure, the scene wasn’t “necessary” but i prefer to watch the movie with that scene included. idgaf about “redundant.” i’d rather watch redundant than whatever tf so many filmmakers these days seem to think is “artsy” when they have these super long extremely drawn out single shots of nothing happening to the point i say wtf is the point and skip forward. yea, i’m sure i “don’t get it,” but i also don’t care

        it’s horror scifi–of course we already know
