For real this time. Aliens it is. I last saw the extended version back in ’97, didn’t find it an improvement; will probably watch the original cut unless someone registers a compelling objection. Spoiler alert: I will almost surely argue that Alien is far superior, even if Cameron’s film is very strong as sequels go.

The extended version deepens the character work, but I find the theatrical superior for its sheer merciless propulsion.

FWIW, the thing I find most interesting about it is seeing how inexpensive it all is. The way the long take through the ship makes it look large, but if one is paying attention to the geometry it isn't, how well lit things aren't, etc... It's very cost-effective film-making which was probably the last time that was ever said about a Cameron joint.
