went to see this with my girlfriend, she starts talking to me during the opening scenes on the Sulaco, tell her to shut up, she leaves and goes home, made the movie more enjoyable to watch it alone
it has some good parts, but it's pretty boring and it's just embarassing that the worst parts of the movie are pretty much every scene with the alien except maybe that one scene in the hospital but even that one is plagued by the absolute fricking worst cgi alien in the whole fricking franchise
resurrection may be dumber and technically worse, but at least it was entertaining and it had better looking aliens even though the albino looked like a mong
Nah, they just rehashed Alien 1 but on a prison-planet. Could've had Ripley, Newt and Hicks in a story. Or better yet, had an alien breakout on earth. It was certainly well-directed, but no new ground covered at all.
A script doctor could have saved it. It should have leaned into the "Weyland Yutani are shitheads and you can trust no one" paranoia angle and cemented it with a reveal that Ripley was 100% right not to trust Bishop in Aliens and that he was running a subroutine unbeknownst to his higher processing that made him bring the queen and the eggs back to the Sulaco so that W-Y could get their hands on a xenomorph. Make it clear that some of the prisoners are truly irredeemable violent psychopaths while others are victims of the corporation just like Ripley was and that joining together to frick "the man" one last time by killing the last remaining specimen from the colony is what motivates them to work together and kill the xenomorph (and Ripley, too).
Aliens works well enough with the whole space marine shit and zerg/tyrranid approach, but the mystery and intimidation factor of the creature suffers from being turned into what is essentially a cog in a bigger machine.
The xenos get turned into canon fodder and that never sat well with me.
Prometheus is a decent movie but the Alien is a very small aspect of it. Covenant on the other hand featured more of that, but it's again in the background. The original Alien should be the one you start with, since it's about the creature.
And then you can play Isolation if you preferred that approach, since it's basically the closest to the OG movie and arguably the best at doing horror.
Worse than Joss Whedon's entry. A total frickup on all levels...made by a fricking Frenchman. WHY A FRICKING FRENCHMAN? The incompetence is just staggering.
It was his first movie and he refuses to talk about it today, he was brought in after production of a different script had already started, apparently he fought with the higher ups an insane amount
It was a clusterfrick
Alien Resurrection's story, setting, plot, characters and script blow Alien 3 out of the water. A:R had characters we could root for, the story gets Ripley out of space and the xenos moving towards Earth which gives a focus to the film and sense of urgency to it that the other Alien films don't have. It's really a cross between the first and second with some dark humor tossed in. Jean-Pierre Jeunet did a descent job with what he had to work with especially the writer of the script Joss Whedon who had to scramble desperately to try to find a creative way to bring Ripley back from the dead. Respect to the underwater film crew who handled all those scenes. Ron Pearlman nearly drowned doing some of those and for Sigourney sinking that backwards basketball shot.
As much as haters want to hate there are some redeemable qualities to Alien Resurrection and some really original moments. The aborted clone scene for one was pretty unforgettable and has become a staple scene of the series over the years.
Incredible film, the last Alien film that was truly worthy of the franchise. The atmosphere is spot-on perfect.

you are high-T
Honestly I love both versions of the film
>Aliens on Reddit tier
This is what Cinemaphile has become
>puts 70% the father son bonding kino in reddit tier
A really lonely childless gay wrote made this
>classical tier
>hidden esoteric depth
lmao
Its Ancient Aliens.
Alien is the best of the bunch but other than that this is indisputable.
>Dog Fart and Blacked in related media for Aliens and AVP
kek'd. Love this format of memes.
I don't remember Space Cop being there at first but it made me kek
Forced image
this is actually kind of accurate.
Aside from the original Alien, it is.
Excellent bait, saved
it's a little harsh on aliens and avp but it's true
It's harsh on Alien if anything. The Aliens and AvP thing is completely true, although it doesn't make them bad movies.
Ward > Gibson.
I'm rewatching right now on fm.
>shitty 720p encoding

>alt+tabbing all the time to some inane distraction or shitposting
>2023
Not that bad, actually.
>doubly y chromosome
A movie that couldn't be done today, I'm afraid
link?
I got into bald chick's watching this film as a kid...I now have fake breasts and a husband. Pretty high T becuase I kept my junk I guess.
it started off being my least favorite and then turned into MAYBE my favorite.
it has some good parts, but it's pretty boring and it's just embarassing that the worst parts of the movie are pretty much every scene with the alien except maybe that one scene in the hospital but even that one is plagued by the absolute fricking worst cgi alien in the whole fricking franchise

So you would prefer a rehash of Aliens?

The xenos get turned into canon fodder and that never sat well with me.
I only watched prometheus and like half of covenant, I can't imagine watching an Alien movie with outdated cgi, the scenario is already shit lmao
Prometheus is a decent movie but the Alien is a very small aspect of it. Covenant on the other hand featured more of that, but it's again in the background. The original Alien should be the one you start with, since it's about the creature.

>Prometheus is a decent movie
this board, man...
I mean, this image could've very well been made as bait
but there is some truth to it.
Prometheus is a better approach than just action scenes and a few creature design showcases.
Worse than Joss Whedon's entry. A total frickup on all levels...made by a fricking Frenchman. WHY A FRICKING FRENCHMAN? The incompetence is just staggering.
hello, 85
>WHY A FRICKING FRENCHMAN?
Because Moebius.
It was Resurrection that was made by the French dude
>David Fincher directed such an utter turd
consider me stumped
It was his first movie and he refuses to talk about it today, he was brought in after production of a different script had already started, apparently he fought with the higher ups an insane amount
It was a clusterfrick
Which version, Cinemaphile?
based opening and soundtrack
the audiobook is tip queez
pic related always stood out to me as being kino
Buuuhh
I, as a double Y maxx-T individual, ENJOY the Dog Burster design.
yeah dogs in horror movies are always sus to me
The idea of a cat xenomorph is more fricked up to me cause of Jonesy.
why didn't it do anything..
it hissed though so, you know, watch out
xeno btfo
it actually spazzed out in some alt. scenes
?t=134
It had some atrociously bad ADR mixing throughout the film, which constantly took me out of it.
Yeah it was a bit of a mess
