You're definitely spot on with the Alien movie breakdowns. The third was quite odd, but I recall seeing the first in a theatre and it plays well on the big screen which seemed to heighten the intensity. Any time a director can get his cast to have the average, normal looking interplay during "down" times, it always solidifies a realism in the flick for me. Regarding Aliens, I didn't get that feel as much and what actually significantly separates it from the first is:

Especially Bill Paxton's overdramatized and traumatized pvt. who lent himself to quotes we took outside the movie at the time when we were in a situation where we were screwed ("we're grated cheese, man!!")..... he was a little much. As was the androgynous Hispanic mini-Arnold chick. These 2 characters alone removed the appeal. But you're right about Rieser.... really did not think that would be his role considering his resume, but he did pretty well with what he had.
