Off Meat: You can only choose one to Watch: Aliens or Alien Resurrection

Im Durp Right!

Aliens for me, but I think Alien: Resurrection has scarier parts.  I still love the rambo attitude of Pvt. Vasquez and I loved Bill Paxton's character.  Aliens gets me pumped!

Aliens for me too, but I love the clone Ripley character in Resurrection.

dk Aliens was the first of the films I saw too. I started watching Alien 3 when I was abit too young and it scared the shit out of me, so I stopped. Not long after I watched Aliens and was hooked on the franchise from then on.

Perhaps you feel safer watching the film with the Marines first lol.

ALIENS definitely. I like AR but in terms of viewing experience and memory, Aliens is a Hollywood classic. I remembered the first time I saw it in my uncle's home I was blown away. I even like Aliens more than Alien back then. Indeed as time goes by my love for Aliens has diminished, but I have to admit that without ALIENS, others prequels/sequels may not deserve a better love. 

aliens by far. there is something that has always bothered me in alien resurrection. I think its mostly the creatures. look at this image of a chestburster at the beginning.

they do not look like chestbursters to me and they look much worse than all the other designs. the regular xenomorphs are so slimy you cant see their biomachanical creatures and it takes away their beauty in my opinion. here is a comparison.

1979:

1997:

the one really cool scene to me is when the xenomorphs are swimming. 

I have always hated the newborn from the moment I saw it.

I also felt like the acting from sigorny weaver and winona ryder wasn't very good.

Alien resurrection: 3/10

aliens: 8.5/10

queen isn't bad, just has nothing on eggmorphing.

Is the next artical going to be alien vs alien 3. I feal that there is not really much to discuss although I like alien 3 assebaly cut just as much as alien.

I love the first queen scene in AR. The way the camera pans from the scientists to the queen is so dope. 

btw I think ALIENS vs ALIEN3 would be a great comparison. 

@dk

Lol, I actually quote all the A L I E N movies, all the time - but not even the quotable lines.

Like, a few weeks ago my car got wrecked and my husband said the insurance company would probably declare it totaled.

So I said "Yeah. It could be re-worked, but it will never be top of the line again."

When I quote something that gives people pause because it's just too off topic or too much of a non sequitur, I simply say

"Just something from a film I like." :)

I would choose Aliens because of Bishop and Vasquez. Also Aliens had mostly witty one-liners mostley! ^^

The story in Alien Res is much more real, so I'll def go with that, although I'd skip the "baby Alien" BS...

How fox let them pull THAT ridiculousness, I'll never figure.
