Manm you gotta watch Alien and Aliens. Alien is the first movie, and it's probably the best sci-fi/horror flick ever, and Aliens is one of the greatest sequels of all time, and it set the bar for action/sci-fi.

When you see both movies, you'll realize how much stuff bit their styles. Also, the special effects in both movies (1979 and 1986) hold up, and IMO Aliens looks better than most movies that come out these days.


Cosign to the fullest....I've always wondered why it took 7 yrs to make the sequel

For those who want the Aliens to be more hidden throughout the movie, remember how well that worked out for Cloverfield.

:beli:


Cloverfield being an average movie at best had nothing to do with the hidden creatures. For one there wasn't any likeable characters

there's no point for them to be hidden because we know what they look like, we know how they behave. It worked for Alien because you had no idea what to expect. Times have changed, there is no reason to use them in that manner again.

I just didn't like how they showed who died in the trailer.

We saw like 3-4 of the main cast members get marked in the trailer, takes away some of the suspense.

Did anybody notice how the Fassbender who was standing near the dude who got face hugged, was dressed differently than the one in the group? Pretty sure they discovered the other Fassbender bot, and dude was like "oh it's just you Walter" and David said "have a look at that egg my friend".


so this happens before prometheus? didn't fassbenders character die in that?

No it happens after Prometheus, and Fassbender is a robot so no he didn't die.

So just a rehash of the first movie Aliens doing a The force awakens ?

It's what Prometheus should have been, an Alien prequel. They're starting over. The stuff that was cut from Prometheus (when it was an Alien prequel) to distance itself from Alien is now being incorporated into this movie.

Gonna be flames If Prometheus was gonna work they had to distance itself from Alien but they caved in and fukked up the act.


Now luckily we have a true prequel to Alien:wow:
