Only one or two scary moments. A pack of incompetent sailors, including an hysterical woman, save for the Captain and Ripley. A scientist who turned out to be a robot -- that was actually quite believable (reference to audio...).The alien was depicted as being non-sentient, yet it had the, um, good sense to attach itself to the emergency shutttle. What was up with that?
And WHY THE GODDAM CAT? Why have the sad-sack crewman chase it early-on for five boring minutes? Why would a *cat* stroll into a very wet environment anyway? Why did Ripley waste precious minutes chasing it herself, towards the end?
Just to show "humanity"? God it was stupid.
The director also let us down on the time-line. Once when two minutes were announced passed, it had been over three actually. Shortly thereafter, when four were announced, it had been only two!
Director's cut or no, who is this rank incompetent, Ridley SCott?

PS Compliments to H.R. Giger -- but why did the alien have a humanoid form at the end, but not earlier?
