The first half hour or so was great. Then it completely shits the bed. Terrible film
I went I was loving it. Decided to hang around in one section on the alleyway where the xeno is throwing or tipping stuff over I stood there and the actor decided to charge at me. In that moment it was real to me dammit. That and someone got dragged out of the lift in one part and it wasn’t an actor. But I have to believe it was a member of the public.You.. went? Holy shit, someone else went! I've never met anyone else who went!
It was so good. The time and effort them lads put in is something I doubt we'll see again, pure dedication.
Such a brilliant experience.
When there's a seven foot xenomorph that looks pretty damn real and making the right noises creeping up on them, they didn't care. And when your a teenager yourself, neither did you..
Man, Alien War was something else.
I saw that yesterday, and.. okay, I'll eat my hat, I'm getting a touch looking forward to it
This is what's selling me too and they actually seem like a dedicated bunch to the franchise.
Visually incredible and that's pretty much it
Honestly I'm just ignoring those 2 movies, anytime you apply any critical thinking on them it falls apart and just makes me angry, as far as I'm concerned that's some alternative marvel universe shite and didn't happen in the Alien/Aliens timeline, someone at Fox needed to have read that script and told Scott to fuck off and take a wise, ain't no one is gonna buy a camp android making the fecking Alien!?
Ffs whats with that cunt? At this point i swear there must be at least twin Pedro's kicking around. No one single person can be in so much its not possible

In fact at the end of the “ride” the marine told everyone not to mention that it happened and he apologised to the group of friends of the person who got dragged out by the Xeno.
So many great parts to that experience.
My favourite was when we escaped on a ship the place is dark then the strobes come on and a xeno is walking between the aisle and the marines start blasting the shit out of it and it makes the screams.
I’m sorry this ride needs to come back. It was one of the greatest things ever.

It's pretty common. An actor gets a bit of fire, then gets flooded with offers and just doesn't say no. They usually burn out after a year or 2 and go back to a slow rhythm. But if he wants to work 24/7/365 and has the offers, he can be in a surprising amount of stuff until casting directors tire of him.
You don't think this will do well because the trailer has obvious spoilers? Almost all trailers today leave little room for the imagination, probably because the market generally responds well to trailers cut like this.
This is the hell that is my life. Wife and kids CAN NOT wait for a film to answer (or not) their questions. Every single film..."whats that guy going to do", "will that person die?", "why did that person do that thing?"
They're in the majority crowd of consumers. Casual audiences want to know what they’re watching before they watch it. It’s mostly enthusiasts that really enjoy the mystery or vagueness of trailers. It’s rare that a trailer will misdirect you, but a pleasant surprise when it occurs every now and then. It's soooo annoying when family and friends want to add live commentary, I find it so distracting lmao.
It's Alien. Everyone must die except Ripley/Ripley look-alike, and maybe a cat, that's how this shit normally goes.
Well yeah, but it has never been so plainly obvious like it is this trailer. We can guess that water guy is first, then bald Asian lady, then a mixture of the others but at that point it doesn't even matter does it? We know how this plays out.
It takes place between Alien and Aliens. This isn't a spoiler, it's been heavily promoted during marketing.
There's some stupid shit, but I quite enjoy it and watch it fairly regularly. Probably my second favourite of the series (Aliens my fav).
I get the timeline but it still seems like a reboot. A crew on ship with Aliens on it being hunted down one by one.
What else would an mainline Alien movie be about?
Better than Alien? Come on now.........
It’s not a better movie but I enjoy watching it more … take from that what you will
Hey whatever floats your boat!It’s not a better movie but I enjoy watching it more … take from that what you will
You're absolutely right. Crew stuck on a ship with an Alien is the only possibility. It's not like someone can up with a different idea. What even is an idea? You seem awfully defensive.
Defensive? i think you have me all wrong.
That exact thing happend to us
The best bit was when you all had to get in the Dropship for evac, after it 'landed', the back door ripped open, strobes going off, a bit of smoke with an alien peering through the door. I've never seen people rush an exit on the other end so fast!
Me and a mate got stuck at the back
And I swear to this day whilst we were in the dropship belting up one was by my feet and the back of the chair doing that breathing noise they do.. I was tripping, my mate kept saying to look and I couldn't do it
We need stuff like this again!
Although it won't be in the London Trocadero, it's going to be a mosque
London Trocadero to host Islamic community centre
Plans are approved to transform the basement into a place for prayer and "community initiatives".
Well, to be faaaiiiirrrr they are stuck on a SPACE STATION with an alien
I hope you're right about the subplots because as it stands it just seems like a soft reboot with a young crew. Still going to pass unless the majority of Gaffers say it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.Well, to be faaaiiiirrrr they are stuck on a SPACE STATION with an alien
But I'm sure there are subplots like its all a secret corp experiment or they intended to use a nearby blue collar working class planet of POCs as a testing ground for their inevitable lust for a weapons program (despite there not being a clear threat in the Aliens universe other than the blowback from said alien weapons testing). Classism is a prominent theme in the Alien series, capitalistic excess, greed, etc. Maybe we will even get a (better than Prometheus anyway) hint as to the origin of the xeno and what their ultimate evolution might be. Possibly even an introduction of a new alien species.
Though to be honest, I am SHOCKED we have not gotten a LV-426 origin series about the colonists there and how the noble wise women tried to overide the boorish toxic men about the safety of exploring the alien wreck. That little taste from Aliens (and most of that was SE stuff, IIRC) surely wasn't enough, right?
....hmm, the more I think about it, there might be a miniseries worth of content about that place after all. We can have a bit about the need to chip everyone and is that a good idea, stress of raising kids in an extreme hostile environment, the attitude and hubris of terraforming with a dorky scientist raving about some fungal spores that would be wiped out as the O2 content rose across the planet, the greed of getting coordinates to a desolate location to explore the ship, and then of course we just GOTTA see them extract a chest burster and killing the host, barricading the doors, shooting an alien and spilling acid blood through the floors, and OF COURSE, just who left that half eaten hot dog and coffee mug on the table!

Ehhh, Alien:Earth, set 30 years before Alien, right? No thanks. Only thing that interests me with that show is Timothy Oliphant.
I was more on about delivering on the woke bollocks etc.
Well, hopefully the writers room got word of the woke pendulum swinging back and were able to course correct. The showrunner is Noah Hawley. I liked Bones well enough, legion as well. Never seen Fargo though. But he's a SWM so he's either waaaaaay over on performative woke to protect himself (since he is an entitled oppressor of privilege with no victim status defense) or he may be old school enough to recognize how to walk the line and deliver balance when given the OK to do so without having to deliver according to a 4 quadrant checklist. I expect A:E to tackle capitalism, corp greed, blue collar struggles, AI "taking yer jerbs", and the like, but those are not inherently problematic so long as there is balance and good characters doing it. I feel like this is gonna be a Caprica compared to Battlestar Galactica situation though, not what the IP audience is really looking for.
