Prometheus was awful. It should be its own movie series and not connected to Alien at all. Failed at being a horror more because it spent too much time trying to be a nature movie. No fire from the gods was stolen, name of the movie is pointless. Space jockeys are just clumsy huge people and have reverse napoleon complexes.

I could only play Alien: Isolation by cheating and making myself invisible from the alien. Instakills still killed me though. Alien 3 is remarkable for being a movie because they started filming before even having "a" script even though they had 4 different ones written. Just be happy we didn't get a wooden planet that looked like the deathstar flying through space filled with a bunch of monks that claimed the alien was a dragon. http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Alien_III_(Vincent_Ward) Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Jun 30, 2015 |

Neo Rasa posted:It's crazy, but still better than the William Gibson script, aliens exploding out of people because it's a virus, I wish I was living in an alternate universe where the William Gibson version was produced instead of Prometheus being made. Either way alien was just reduced to a virus.

Chappie was "ok", I wish they went with the alternate ending instead. And also they could of had more combat for Chappie and less "We gotta do the HEIST, MAN".

At least it went for an action/horror role instead of the horror/comedy that so many other titles fell into.

Baronjutter posted:I just watched Prometheus with an open and accepting mind and an attempt to explain or give the benefit of the doubt to every stupid or odd thing that happens in the movie. It's not great. It's pretty, lots of it are good, but overall it's not a great film. A lot of people's complaints are nit-picking, or have potential explanations, or are actually fairly obviously explained in the actual movie, but there's still so much left that is just... very questionable. I know right, alien 3 was good.

Baronjutter posted:I'm assuming it was like just their nearest base or what ever, nearest space port or supply depot or what ever. Could be used for peaceful missions, could be used for bio-weapons. Maybe the fact that it was never meant to be a genocide depot was why their poo poo got away from them. They tried to convert a tourist information centre into a forward extermination base. I don't always run away from black goo, but when I do I run into the room where it is kept.

Or maybe he was running from a slightly different bio-weapon and was going to use the black goo to counter the previous out of control bio-weapon They seem to have a ton on board and solve all problems in their society with convoluted extremely unpredictable bio-weapons. Why did everyone hate robots, everyone basically didn't believe in the god so why would not having a soul make any difference?

Basebf555 posted:Stylistically Alien and Blade Runner are different from Prometheus, that's definitely true. If you happen to enjoy the art style of Alien more than Prometheus, well that's a totally legitimate opinion and there's no point in really arguing about it. My favorite part of Prometheus is that they spent so much money on the special effects and they didn't even change everyone's heart beat.

Baronjutter posted:It sort of isn't though. Nothing in Prometheus really directly relates to Alien. I guess it makes the corporation aware that the "engineers" exist, and perhaps that's why they were so adamant that the crew investigate the signal. But does Prometheus add anything to Alien? Does it answer any questions or provide any insight? But now we have even more questions! My favorite part is how at the start of the movie the geologist and biologist are like "WERE IN IT FOR THE MONEY". Then the first sight of a dead alien body they run away and get lost after they used future mapping drones to map the entire base.

Basebf555 posted:I'm sure the studio was afraid of a backlash if Prometheus had the Alien name attached to it when the movie has no xenomorph in it. They learned from horror franchises like Halloween and Friday the 13th that once the audience decides they like something about a franchise, they want to see it in every movie. Too much creativity and out-of-the-box thinking will be punished by the audience. As it is there was still a backlash because the marketing for Prometheus played up the Alien connection in a way that just isn't there in the actual film. Now for this one they're just saying gently caress it, its an Alien movie deal with it. You know if he never said Prometheus had anything to do with alien and then in theaters it had all the references it would of been praised outside of all the plot holes.

One thing I like about the AvP movies is it links the predator movies and alien movies together. Predators trick people coming to their hunt. Weyland dies during the hunt. Everyone but one person dies. Last predator dies and has a alien awake in him. Weyland corp most likely goes into a steep downfall. Which leads to, Alien crashing the ship into a town. Making more aliens. Predator comes to hunt the alien. Predator loses his gun. Everyone dies in the town. Predator gun is delivered Ms. Yutani, which can bee seen as the owner of the Yutani Corporation. Then you can figure that somehow the companies merge, flash forward a hundredish years. And you get Weyland-Yutani Corporation owed commercial spacecraft Nostromo coming along in alien with instructions to check out unknown stuff. To me this ties it all together better than, A bunch of scientists go to a alien planet, to do some dumb stuff, and all die. And the only person alive doesn't even want to go back to earth and no one knows anything about what happened. The movie could of been called Space Adventure 5 because the ties to the alien series are so little that it doesn't connect at all. There is literally no horror in the drat movie.

How do you think predators was bad when it was the best predator movie since predator 2? It was alot better than the fan scripts to have The Rock be Arnold(from predator)'s son and get captured and taken to the predator home world to hunted.

LORD OF BUTT posted:Fair warning about Aliens: Labyrinth, though, it is loving nightmarish on a level beyond any of the movies. Only AVP: Requiem with the hospital scene even comes close to how hosed up Labyrinth is. Was kinda meh. Was expecting more gore. Harime Nui posted:I really like Predators. It's a movie with absolutely no good guys at all. The title of the movie wasn't about the aliens(predators) at all. They explain this in the movie. All I can think about this movie is how they identified them, like the doctor had to have a house of trophies that they knew seemed off. The only one that really sets themselves from the others is the Russian who dies blowing up a predator with what I pretend is "you ugly motherfucker" in Russian. I will also say, Robert Rodriguez was the last to deliver on anything to the either movie series since Cameron period. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Feb 13, 2016 |

Snowman_McK posted:That's the perfect example of the film's shortcomings. It's a blatant homage to Billy's death in the first Predator, but while that was a futile gesture, and he doesn't even die on screen, the small man with a short sword successfully swordfights a giant Alien. It 'reimagines' the scene into something completely loving toothless. Billie didn't have Hanzo steel and he fought him on a log. SMERSH Mouth posted:Count me among those who totally saw predators in the theater and remembers pretty much nothing about it. Lawrence Fishburne's lair, and... Some kind of alien dog things? That's it. I think I remember more about the theater itself than the movie. Like, there was a whole family watching it - mom, dad, infant, toddler, and young grade school kid. I thought that was weird. Weirder even than me having seen all the alien & predator movies by the age of eight.. At least I had to sneak around to watch R-rated movies at my friend's house after his parents went to bed. Waiting for the part you say Prometheus is good.
