A quick comment about the Director's Cut

Rating: 9/10 (10 October 2015)

I watched the "Director's Cut" once or twice before. As much as I love the additional scenes in all of James Cameron's "Special Editions", when I saw it before I thought the added scene with Newt's family diminished from the effect of meeting Newt later. This time I thought it was actually even better: Meeting Newt as a "regular girl" first and then seeing her transformation, actually adds a layer to her character. I really liked the way she acted and thought it was a great combination of casting, acting and direction. Not that her screamings weren't annoying at times, but all in all, I think she was excellent in her role and more believable than many other kids I saw in movies.
James Horner's score is excellent.
BTW, did you notice that when they discuss Bishop, they mention that the android from the first movie was made by Cyberdine?
Last time I gave it a 8/10. This time I give it a 9/10.
