The "Special" Edition

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2005)

This was a great film in the cinema - great visuals, great sound, and to top it off the editing was spot on. Well worthy of a 9 or 10 on the IMDb vote register.
However, the Aliens (Special Edition) DVD release was another matter. Hence I'd only give it a 7, as the additional material dates the film quite badly.
Again the marketing geezers sitting round the boardroom table believe they will get us to buy more product by adding some of the junk back in in an attempt to make us think we are missing something.
The reason why the extra bits were edited out of the cinema release was because they didn't work.
Does anyone know if the original release is available on DVD?
