ATI - While that is a possibility I am willing to entertain, I am inclined to be dubious! ;)

Something Real - It is possible that he was a good guy. :) He liked consuming fields of wheat, but that's all. :)

ATI - Hahaha! While I am typically opposed to the extinction of a species, I believe I can make an exception for that little beast! :)

Ingeniero - You are welcome.

Yes, he likes putting everything there. :)

Yes dk. We may have to check twice.

Ingeniero - I thank you.

Thank you for the link and images Ati.

The collection of artwork on the page referenced above is truly amazing.

Something Real - :D

Don't worry. They lived on Planet 4, but David's actions helped them become extinct. :)

We missed out on the Dane Hallett plans for Dr. Shaw Ati. Another great collection for us to obsess on. Good work and thank you again for these.

Ah, awesome, visit his facebook page, look at his Alien Covenant album, you'll find more.

Yes dk. I wanted a slice of Engineer architecture.

The pyramids and internal shots of the juggernaut on LV-223 are missing though (will have those soon).

ATI - Oh! This is quite excellent! I shall now never walk amongst wheat again! ;)

SCORPIOSTAR - Hicks! :)

ALII81 - The beautiful dream and the horrible nightmare - both last within our memories and can not be replaced. :)

My deepest gratitude Ati. The collection of images from Dane Hallett is amazing. Thank you so much again Ati. You are wonderful.

I still think the franchise could be good if it forged ahead after Resurrection. To me, it doesn't have to be Ridley Scott.

Im probably going to cop it for this, but so is James Cameron's Aliens. Aliens is just a Master Class of a different kind. As a fullbore heroic action film of the 80s variety it is full of guns & explosions, over-the-top bravado, patriotism and one-liners. And the films owns that era of cinematic style. We might not all enjoy it, especially the more bug-like xeno's in it, but its still a great addition to the Alien franchise and is a logical progression for the Ripley story arc. 

The biggest things Aliens got right was to massively expand its scope and universe from the claustrophobic confines of a stalk-and-kill creature feature film. Cameron grabbed it by the balls and opened up a whole new environment.

Look at the Predator franchise. It is stunted and has always struggled because no-one has taken the risk of expanding the Yautja premise. Every film in that franchise re-hashes the exact same premise.

Im full of rants today lol

Something Real My OP was intentionally a bit ambiguous. As stated, we are among friends- we like what we like and that is all.

DK - Well spoken, my friend. :)

DK - Hahaha! Excellent! I wish you gentlmen all the best of luck in deducing whether or not Ms. Vickers is artificial. However, as I am woman, I shall stick with my masculine machines! :)

Something Real ah- why not? Others are prepping to find out once and for all if Vickers is indeed human so why not!

DK - Hmm...this is a quite difficult decision! On the one hand, Bishop has an extremely excellent and brave personality. On the other hand, David - when he is well-groomed and not going mad from his own sentience - is a fetching man! Could I perhaps have David with Bishop's personality matrix? :)

Well there was a chestburster reference in Shrek 2 when Puss was attacking Shrek...

For instance, I thought Pitch Black was excellent on its own and got bogged down with Chronicles. For that matter, Jaws was great and became a laughing stock with its sequels. 

It certainly is a cinematic Master Class!! A well-paced suspense building narrative full of Sci-fi lore and ambiguous mystery. An A class creature feature that does it right. Gives you just enough of a glimpse of the Xeno, and lets your imagination do the rest.

Brilliant

yea I get what ur saying. sometimes its best not to look behind the curtain

I would leave it be. Making what amounts to a mini series on the big screen can dilute the original. Just my two cents.

having seen Prometheus and AC, given the answers,or lack of, that we have been given so far, would u want to see a prequel series or just leave the franchise as it was and have the mystery left in tack? forget ur opinions on the actual movies

I think part of the problem is prequels instead of moving forward or just leaving it alone as the masterpiece that it is.

ali81 Indeed. Purvis. Thank you.

dude in the pic, he was a cool cat n sacrificed himself for mankind. cant wait to see daniels die

u mean Purvis?

Daniels. :)

Excellent topic!

I cannot find the name, but I would say the scared chestburster victim in AR: PURVIS
