Ideas:

What's a piece of creative work (Book, Movie etc) that you think would be greatly improved by the removal of addition of something? This has to be something that a hobbyist can achieve with available tools, so no reshooting scenes or hiring actors :) But adding another chapter to a book is possible.

For me the biggest problem were the cheesy one-liners. It was like an 80s buddy movie rather than an Alien movie. But it's possible that those could be easily edited out.

The main offenders were Ron Pearlman's lines as well as the general running the place - he had some goofy expressions and outbursts. Also J.E Freeman as Dr. Wren had some campy moments.

But the visuals were great, I thought and the story had some good elements in it, such as the alien in captivity seemingly testing the scientist through the glass. The backstory of the relationship between the pirates and the military made sense.

What would you keep, what would you cut to make it far less cheesy and more dignified?
