Hatebox Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Aliens isn't scary. I love it, but the sense of sheer dread from the first film just isn't there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 If I was ever face to face with a blood thirsty alien I'd like to think I'd get the fuck outta Dodge. But you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessie Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Alien was scary, but that was when i was fucking 6. Audiences wouldnt be scared by Alien today, people arent as gullable now however films can still be intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Come on guys seriously. Its like when you were young and your parents always said 'you can watch anything you like but never watch the exorcist" only to go againdt their word' watch it out of curiousity only to realise it isnt scary. What was scary back then isn't now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I think Prometheus was helped overseas by being promoted more as a 3D spectacle movie rather than an Alien movie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raegr Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Im seeing it on Sunday. Gonna watch Prometheus soon. I loved Alien way more than Aliens. More action, loud music and explosions does not necessarily mean better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnack Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 5 hours ago, Gazz said: I wonder if the $111m figure is inclusive of the tax rebate they received for shooting in Aus. Prometheus' budget is listed at around $130m but that was made for closer to $150m including the money they received from tax incentives in the UK. Aus Dollar almost lost 20% between 2014 and 2016 too, depending on when it was made and the expected exchange rate used it could create a nice rebate. The planned tax rebate was of 47 million for Alien and Thor combined apparently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigausorus Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 8/10 The last part is frustrating, but the movie is great! It's thrilling, good action, good actors and impressive filmmaking! + David (& Walter) -> Great stuff. Visual -> Sets are crazy good, CGI pretty good, Music Thematics (superb work) The ending - Last part a little messy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Seems like this franchise is getting gradually worse. Alien was an instant classic, the best of the franchise. Aliens equally good, both A+ masterpieces. Alien 3 was a couple of levels down, still really good flick. Alien 4 is easily the most underrated film of the franchise, a wee bit below A3. Prometheus was meh. Covenant is just awful apart from some entertaining moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebody85 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Seeing this in IMAX in just a bit. Hoping it's a lot better then Prometheus...I revisited that last night and out of all the times I've seen it through the years, I probably liked it the least. At first I was like, this is better then I remember and then it nosedives when Idris Elba leaves his station to go with Weylands daughter. Bad writing decisions continue to bring it down from there. Awesome score though. Keeping expectations in check but still a lot more excited for this one then Guardians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
