MemberOvomorph02/18/2012not that it would be bad or anything, but the character of ripley and the alien series is milked dry, its just not worth it :(

F--- it - lets go for it!
MemberOvomorph02/19/2012alien 3 is a slow burner in many aspects, in time as you grow older it will grow on you.
or just stick to watching 1 and 2.
you cannot rewrite history
accept - move on.

MemberOvomorph02/19/2012Not only because of 3 and 4. 90% of the video games currently made rip off Aliens to the degree that the entire space marine thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. 99% of the extended Universe stuff really sucks. AvP redemption just killed everything left. It is the worst film I have ever seen. And I have watched some horrible movies.
I'd rather endure a stream of alien ripoff from the early 80's [Galaxy of Terror, Mutant, Creature, Star Crystal [which is amazing in it's own right] etc] then watch AvP:R again.
Plus, Alien 4? Way way way worse then Alien 3 imo. I hate the mutant alien thing, I hate the crappy swimming aliens, I hate them spitting acid. Just god awful. It was like a failed comic script turned into a shitfest.

MemberOvomorph02/19/2012maybe Ripley should wake up next to nute, hicks and Bishop (although not half the man he use to be) and realize the last two films were bad dreams. feel sorry for david finch, his experience making this film and getting bullied by the studio nearly made him retire from the film industry all together.

MemberOvomorph02/19/2012I think Alien 3 was actually good.
Maybe many people disliked the
idea of having no combat actions
like in aliens, but to be honest,
one alien is far more scary than a horde
That falls like flies.the only thing
i disliked in the movie was, that the
queen laid 2 eggs without its
Egglayer belly and why did the facehuggers
came out ftom the eggs when no
other lifeform were close to the eggs???
it totally destroys the canon from
alien and aliens.
Facehuggers are not meant to come out
Unless they sense a potential host.
Not a plot hole but a big discontinueity.
Also, the cgi scenes of the alien
was not really good. Tge man in suit
scenes were much better.

MemberOvomorph02/19/2012I liked 3, however if only they had stuck with the "Wooden Planetoid" original script and director!
Would have been spooky as hell and a much more dynamic movie.....

MemberOvomorph02/19/2012brego - spot on. Vincent Wards original concept set on the monestray in space would have absolutely ruled and taken the franchise in an interesting new direction whilst also echoing what was terrifying about the first film.
Its a shame it never happened but I do like some elements of the film that was made, it isn't quite as bad as some make out.

MemberOvomorph02/19/2012I would love to see Alien 3 with new CGI scenes added in place of the old ones. I really liked the direction they took Alien 3, just didn't care for the cartoonish CGI.

MemberOvomorph02/20/2012Never understood all the bad-mouthing of Alien 3... Always liked the film, sure it wasn't the action film people were expecting but I thought it had a good atmosphere and some great acting... Brian Glover is a legend!

MemberOvomorphFeb-23-2012 5:04 PMAgreed CharlieDontSurf, however the scenes featuring the Alien in full flight are not CGI they created a new tech called Go Motion using a puppet and puppeteers. Unfortunately this tech looks a tad crappy....
Having said that I think one of the strongest scenes in the whole series is in 3.
The Alien kiss scene in the infermary is fantastic and truly powerful...

MemberOvomorphFeb-26-2012 3:09 PMI am currently waiting for Alien 3 the Special edition to arrive after ordering it the other day. I never thought much of the film but after reading someones comments on here (can't remember who it was) about how the special edition was a lot better I decided I needed to see for myself.

MemberOvomorphFeb-28-2012 4:29 PMDont get too excited Milos...... Some extra footage and the Ox with Super Face Hugger, kinda cool....
