When I first seen this film in my teens, I was very disapointed with how it ended. Especially having 'Aliens' leaving such a strong impression on me. Now that im in my late 30's and have come across the extended edition of this film, it makes so much more sense than the theatrical release (I saw it at a drive in with my dad! :D ) Imo its a good end to the saga of Ripley and her battle with the Xenomorph and Weyland/Yutani. Fantastic performances by all involved. A++
