Think about it if you where on a huge space station or ship it would take you a few days or hours at least for things to come to fruition.A movie has to tell a story in roughly 2 hours and must also use different cues to keep a person interested.Alien (the film) must maintain suspense so everything happens quickly after Kane dies minor details like showing Ash build a motion sensor or Parker build the flame throwers and for the xenomorph to grow to full size all that would really take several hours but such details are not needed in a film.Or when they walk to the derelict ship in the beginning(Ash says that the source was 2000m away) in that environment such a walk would take at least an hour.
