Hatebox Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) That trailer happened too fast. It's Alien: build up some atmosphere! That aside, all I ask from this movie is a basic cat-and-mouse horror setup on a confined space, and it looks like we'll be getting that.

'Big' aerial shots looks great, like in Prometheus, but 'actiony' stuff looks like cheap, modern slasher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochofles Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Imagine if this were as well received as Mad Max: Fury Road ?? I would not mind that at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's the new age definition of auteur. That is logically fallacious, not appropriately addressing what I'm arguing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) Somewhat mixed emotions. On the one hand, I like that it looks more horror-oriented, but on the other, the story seems kind of paint-by-numbers. Also, I hope they place some emphasis on one of the things that made Alien great and Prometheus completely lacked, which is atmosphere and slowburn tension. Prometheus rushed along at the pace of a Fast & Furious movie compared to Alien (and Aliens for that matter).

Krissykins Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 This looks like a proper horror film. Prometheus suffered due to the lack of horror elements. Excited now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omario Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 it looked good in a few shots and then looked like a low budget shaky cam movie in other scenes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) I'm just glad Shasta Fay is getting all this high-profile work. And oh hey there's Amy Seimetz doing her first huge movie too. I wish they'd tweaked the formula enough to make this stand out more (let out a sigh when another supposed professional got facehugger'd like that) and that shower sex scene in particular is like something out of a corny DTV horror movie but overall it could be a no-nonsense fun ride I guess.

There is NOTHING deep or philosophical about this franchise and nor do they have great stories as some would like to believe. First one is a well done B horror sci-fi film that had a unique creature design. The 2nd one is an awesome action packed intense film with some cool imagery. Alien 3 is garbage. Alien Resurrection is a fun movie. If there are people that do claim that, I agree that they're over their heads. That being said, are you honestly implying that there should be anything deep or philosophical here? The franchise is called "ALIEN". It's all in the title. It's aliens killing people, and that's all it should really be. For the matter btw, I hate Resurrection more than Alien 3. They were both bad, but at least Alien 3 gave David Fincher to the world. And Prometheus is absurd as well, so I pray to the Xenomorph Queen that Scott nails it, this time. It looks more like Aliens than Alien from the trailer, which is good, because even though I like the original more, I don't wanna see Scott just remaking the 1st one, I would rather him trying the more action horror vibe that Cameron applied to the sequel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charism Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Member dyz? I member. Honestly, I was excited for this trailer, beause Prometheus trailers were one of the best trailers ever made. But here..? Bland editing, lack of rythm, bland music choice...sigh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, Fox sandwiched it between GOTG 2 and POTC 5. They must have a lot of confidence.

DMan7 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 It looks like a carbon copy of Prometheus albeit a different cast excluding Fassbender of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75Live Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 while yes, it does look generic and another paint by numbers (both in parts), but who cares? It still looks like it could be back to some Alien fun ok if it sucks, it sucks, but I'm hoping for the best with Scott still involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
