That guy is good.
Nice. Reminds yet again that I really need to rewatch Alien and Aliens.
Agreed. The story may not be the best, but every other aspect of the movie-- direction, cinematography, dialogue, music, casting-- is just about perfect, I think.
Completely agreed. I think that movie is very underrated. I think largely because of it's bleak tone and it begins by killing off a couple characters from a film that was a huge hit with the fans.
As a result, many have not given it a fair hearing.
But I loved it from the get go.
You don't say. I wonder if this happened to any other films?
Wow, that was just amazing. I don't know how I'll cope waiting until May 2079 to watch it...
Well, yeah, but that's the way the "Prometheus" trailer did it.
Looks great. Off to watch the prometheus trailer now. He looks promising, this Scott blokey.
I watched the four Alien films over three nights and Alien and Aliens were still just as amazing as they were the first time. They age well. I watched the assembled cut of Alien 3. Didn't like it as much. I felt it was falling back on the 1 alien vs trapped people idea from the first film and I didn't think much of the CGI Alien either. That's not to say it's bad. I just wanted there to be some kind of escalation of threat.
Alien Resurrection. Awful. Just some movie.

Thats excellent! I'd want to see that film.
I used to think this too. I had a lot more fun when I started thinking of it as a ludicrous horror comedy. I mean, a guy getting skullfucked by a chestburster? Walmart buying out Weyland Yutani? It's a film that shouldn't be taken seriously, but I don't think I'd have it any other way at this point.
That's the problem with not taking itself seriously. When you compare it to the first film it just doesn't belong in that series. It's played for laughs. I'd rather they did a sci-fi horror that wasn't related to the Alien series if they can't keep the tone of the previous 3 films.
"Alien: Resurrection" has a lot of little things in it that I love and feel are perfectly consistent with the rest of the series. It may only be in the Extended Edition, but there is a scene where Ripley 8 is being shown flashcards with pictures of them, and she is supposed to say what the pictures are. They show her a picture of a young girl, and she suddenly gets very sad. I thought that was a great, subtle reference to her daughter and Newt.
It's not the greatest movie ever, but I still really like it for what it is.
