The Legacy Cut of Alien ³ is largely made of the Assembly Cut, with minor adjustments. I feel that, while the Assembly Cut is clearly the more rewarding of the two current options, the Theatrical Cut wasn't without its merits, and fans shouldn't have to sacrifice the best of one version to enjoy the other. The aim of the Legacy Cut is not only to enrich the visuals of Alien ³, but also to offer fans a version that amalgamates the finest aspects of both cuts, along with a few additional editing tweaks to enhance the overall experience of the film.
