JohnnyBlaze Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Risky. Ridley Scott is a plus. Fassbender is a plus. But I'm skeptical after the big letdown that was Prometheus. That movie had a good first 45 minutes then just snowballed into something ridiculous. I'm interested enough to hit the cinemas yet pessimistic enough to skip it. Will decide as I see more and more teasers and trailers. I read that there will be two more after Covenant that'll link the prequels to the original Alien film. Also, they'll apparently and eventually reveal who actually created the xenomorph aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Sweet. Plotline?A colony ship "Covenant" finds a planet whose only inhabitant is the Fassbender android from Prometheus. That's all I've heard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of them are pretty much perfect.The first one has more suspense and mystery about the alien because at first you don't know what it looks like etc. The second one is more action-orientated and there's no mystery about the alien anymore and consequently they're disposable. In the first film they couldn't even kill it, in Aliens they were blowing them away left right and centre so to balance it out they created a Queen who is like a boss enemy from a video game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Alien is one of the few A+ movies for me ... Conversely, I think Aliens is probably the most overrated film I can think of - they took everything great about the original and destroyed it Edited November 25, 2016 by Lucas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I think Alien and Aliens are each two perfect movies. I don't get how the second one is inferior. I think it works amazingly well and they were wise to not repeat the original. If they stuck to just being a horror flick you would have had an easy repeat. I enjoy Aliens the most to be honest. Always have. I found Alien boring until about five years ago (and I watched both Alien movies before I turned 11). I think it's great and chilling and now I see I was wrong to think it was "inferior", but I think what makes both films work is they each move in different directions. Alien is claustrophobic and intense, Aliens widens the threat a lot more and creates a sense of urgency, panic, threat...like a spreading disease. Each to their own, but I can't see any negatives about Aliens. Even the extended cut betters the theatrical in my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
