My samsung is a 40' nothing in comparison to your monster.

Yeah it is about that time. Later RC8 and Deadcell.

There is huge difference between ALIEN & ALIENS in terms of tone and filmmaking aesthetics. ALIENS as directed by James Cameron is standard screenwriting 101. Now I am not saying that it has poor storytelling skills. On the contrary, ALIENS is one of the greatest survivalist action movies ever made. Ripley has a backstory, how she longs for her dead daughter, and she gets it in the form of Newt. In Scott's ALIEN, we don't know about the crew of the Nostromo. They are very well portrayed by the actors but they merely form a collective human presence in opposition to the Xeno. ALIENS has Ripley front center as the subject of the movie. ALIEN is much more emotionally distant, but also much more skillful in portraying an alien world, creating suspense through shadow-play photography & clever editing, and double-billed with PROMETHEUS is much more epic in scope.

this thread morphed into aliens vs alien3 !!!! im pro -alien 3 too but not to the detriment of the other films. i also think its an age thing, aliens for example is easy to access and being considered an action flick,(one of the best by the way) you can just switch off your brain for a couple of hours. Alien 3 is a different beast entirely - its been well appraised on previous threads. i love the fact a lot of people dont its like it partly because they dont get it. better to be loved by a few than liked by a lot. This is the best thread ive read on the matter, some good arguements and some....well lets just say limited. Most of us have been watching these movies for a long time now and the images and ideas have permeated our minds. rest assured prometheus will deliver, this is ridleys genre.

Hey guys im new here! @mind bender Ok, so you said the xenos were redused to ants and could easily be killed with a few bullets. think about it. it makes seance because in aliens, they have rifles and mimi guns, making them easier to kill. but in alien, they didnt have guns (and if they did they didnt use them) and no human had ever encountered the xenos. it all makes seance. Alien: no weapons or experience Aliens: experience and weapons plus military training that is my opinion.

i agree with everyone that said they did not like 3 or Resurrection for what ever the reasons, there were lots of things in both movies I did not like myself , but in both there were also lots of things I truly thought were great and original and thought provoking.I Thought the tunnel kills were filmed so cool in 3 and we even saw one with amazing clarity of blood from above and another as the camera dida twirling 360 as it moved forward through the tunnel in "Aliens Eye View" and we had some remarkable work done with animatronics in 3 and I also thought the fact we learned "They Swim" and John Frizzel's score were both such wonderful Little touch type things in Resurrection. I loved the interplay between Johner and Ripley and the Betty and the Guns on your arms and I absolutely loved the way they drank their scotch!

alien 3 was my least favorite. but there was good things about it. when you got to see the aliens view, it was pretty cool! the way ripley fearlessly jumped off that ledge and killed herself as the alien bursted out of he chest. cool! MY opinion of the order of alien movies: 1: aliens 2: alien 3: alien res. 4: alien 3

I agree with everybody who thought Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection were great films and could embrace them as much as the the first 2 films. I know I do. I love all the films.

Tromatizer, I remember having those comics, they were great. I dont think there is any need to reboot 3. Its over guys... Anyhow its too late Michael Bein (spelling) is now in his 50's and as for Newt, forget it, Sigorney looks great but unno... and anyhow if it was re cast then all the 3 purists would complain about that so it aint going to happen. Why not simply create a kickass Alien 5 written and directed by Ridley, Rated R, and keep the studio execs right out of it!
