Krampus Grewcock posted:I agree with you on this. I was okay with just about every aspect of the movie, except for the Erich von Däniken inspired parts. Like, the idea itself of an alien presence loving with evolution on earth doesn't bother me, but, the concept of a humanoid species doing it just comes off as absurd, outdated sci-fi rubbish. Did they see apes and say "hey, they got 5 fingers and are potentially bipedal, lets 2001 them!" or were humans dropped off as some bastard offspring and just, somehow share the DNA of earth creatures? It just really flies in the face of the rest of the series where the xenomorph is a fantastic yet, reasonably plausible creature that embodies of the top of the food chain in a way that is primal and frightening. Even having it be a weapon created/manipulated by the Jokeys again doesn't bug me, but when you make a creationist story out of a really good sci-fi franchise, you lose me. No matter how cool not-Ripley is and how awesome her auto-csection was. I don't want to ruin this for you but the xenomorph is just a human with some spikes, a tail and a dick for a head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR5jYeIMBKk

Basebf555 posted:The multiplayer was the real draw of that game so I'm not sure its worth it without that. Of course maybe I'm dumb to assume there isn't still an active community playing a 15 year old AvP game... I played it a couple of years ago and yea there were still people playing

I always remember resurrection being better than it is but then whenever I watch it I'm massively disappointed. I still find the hybrid baby alien at the end loving freaky though.

Hodgepodge posted:Part of why Aliens works is that she, ultimately, chooses to go back because she's tough enough to do so. It's thematically appropriate for her to return as a somewhat superhuman character. Ripley is bullied in to going back by the company. They strip her of her license and force her to do menial work and get Burke to taunt her over it in the guise of trying to help. Everyone she knows is dead, she and no career and no future.

I went to see Aliens in the cinema a couple of years ago. It was the directors cut and it was the first time when I noticed it does drag in places compared to the normal version but the alien queen was amazing on such a large screen. You do also become aware that you know the movie far too well and it's no longer very exciting which is a bit of a horrible realization because I love aliens. I needed to pee half way through and some dude in the aisle refused to move his legs. I guess he was offended by me blocking his view for 2 seconds. I don't think he appreciated how much I needed to pee, I'd been holding it for like 30 minutes, so I had to push through his legs until he moved. When I came back he still wouldn't move his legs so I just stepped on him to get past. He never said anything  it was really weird. A couple of months ago I had to miss a double bill of Alien/Aliens because of a job interview. I got the job but still regret missing alien in the cinema

MonsieurChoc posted:It's bad because it's a stupid and cliché plotline. Ripley, being a WOMZ, becomes a MOMZ as soon as she sees a kid in trouble. gently caress that stupid poo poo. What's wrong with that? parents want to protect kids. I can't really think of many great action movies from the 80s which deal with that really apart from Commando.

I never got round to playing the nostromo DLC for Isolation. Did they include the egg room in that?

I actually like AvP. It's incredibly dumb but that's okay. It's almost got the same appeal as resident evil when the Predator starts doing wrestling moves on the alien.

are they really going to bring ripley back again if they made a new alien? jesus, i dont really get the appeal of dragging out geriatrics. It was a bit embarrasing for the new star wars and really would be loving awful for a horror/action movie.
