This really highlights what an abysmal franchise Alien turned into. 2 for 7. Worse than Terminator, for fucks sake.
Stop making these, Scott. Fox. Anyone. Just stop.

There's only one CGI shot in the third movie. The lead cracking across the Alien's dome.

Also! There's a new Aliens (Aliens: Defiance) comic dropping on Wednesday from Dark Horse, along with the re-release of the complete Aliens comic-line from the 1980s.

Lastly, I want to state that Alien: Isolation was a tremendous game and easily one of the best things to happen to the franchise in recent years. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly, highly recommend you give it a try. It's also got the original cast doing voicework for the bonus missions which recreate scenes from the first movie.

I'm optimistic for Covenant and I'm crossing my fingers that Creative Assembly gets a chance to do another game because Isolation is damn good.
The best sci fi horror movie ever made. Happy Alien Day y'all!

That panel reminded me of this Aliens: Colonial Marines trailer. I was so pumped to play it only to hear that it was shit. At least it got me to watch Moon though.

Alien was the first DVD and R-rated film I ever bought. I watched it so much. I also remembering paying something like $30 for the Aliens DVD in 1999. Some of my favorite films ever. I used to definitely prefer the first movie but now it's a tossup.
Of course every movie after Aliens has been a disappointment but much as with Predator I always hope for another great entry in the franchise.

I'm hoping Shane Black will pull through on his Predator movie.

You can say that again. I remember trying to get a keycard from medical and the Xenomorph would not fucking leave. I was also playing on the hardest difficulty, so I had no resources to make anything to scare it off or draw its attention.
I'm pretty sure I've spent 90% of the game crouch walking out of sheer paranoia.
I've gotta admit, I've never really liked Aliens that much. I mean, it's a well-made action film but as a follow-up to the original, it always felt jarring to see it.
Meanwhile, I have a weird admiration for Alien 3 and I'm just talking about the theatrical cut. Of course, it's clearly a film that's been botched to hell but I really dug the aesthetic and tone it was reaching for.
Have yet to see the Assembly Cut.

Alien > Aliens go
As the years go I like Alien more and more and Aliens less and less.

Includes a group who look similar to the crew of Nostromo.
Hell, it's the same actor who played Kane in the original film who gets chestbursted again

Cineworld in the UK is showing Alien and Aliens SE back to back. Can't make it due to other commitments, but I would have loved to see them on the big screen.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Undisputed fact. Alien is the far superior movie.

I'm a big fan of Alien 3. I like the idea of people without weapons shut in an enclosed environment against that thing. It's very much like the first movie in that respect.
Also it has Charles S. Dutton, Charles Dance and Pete Postlethwaite. Awesome actors.
It also contains some of the most memorable speeches in any Alien movie.

I never finished this game. The xenomorph fucked me up everytime and I now got a savegame where I sit inside of a tiny locker and the alien is waiting outside..

Alien rocked. Great film.
Alien is one of all-time great horror movies. The attention to detail, character writing, use of lighting and sound, and thematic underpinnings are second to none.
Aliens is a great action film too, but the script isn't as sharp, the secondary characters change from realistic to cartoons, and this is just a pet peeve, but I hate changing the xenomorph from a weird, unkillable Freudian nightmare into cannon fodder bugs. I mean, the Queen and her scenes are cool and very well executed, but she's only necessary because the rest of the movie rendered a single xenomorph villain as uninteresting.

The fact that Alien Isolation gives you access to look at and explore what basically is an exact 3d duplicate of almost any locations in the film is just awesome, and the best kind of thing a fan of a movie has gotten out of a video game that I can think of.
If you love this film, or its production design, you'll love to check out that game.

Had no idea this was a thing
. Awesome
. Alien is still easily one of my favorite movies of all time. Was too young to see it in the theater and then one night around 2AM it had one showing on HBO, my folks let me stay up to watch it
alone in the middle of the night..incredible
So, looks like Ill need to play some Alien Isolation this evening . As if I need an excuse.

Love Alien, one of my favorite movies of all time. Aliens is okay but not nearly as good imo, picked up Alien Isolation recently and psyched to play it soon.

Should I watch all the Alien films, watch 1 & 2 and play some Alien: Isolation or watch Alien and roast AvP with some friends.
At any rate, Alien and Aliens are in my Top 10 favorite films of all time and are one of the reasons I got into filmmaking.

I fucking LOVE me some Siggy Weaves.
Big fan of Alien(s) here, even if I'm still pretty disappointed by Prometheus and really have little hope regarding Alien Covenant, LOL.
BTW, I was working on a Ukiyo-e rendition of the Xenomorph (along with a chestbuster popping out of a Samurai and everything), but it's still far from finished so all I have is this early WIP thing. D:
Last Xmas I also made this, it was sold for a few weeks as an ugly sweater at TeeFury.
Oh, and of course for all the fans, at least once in your lifetime do yourself a favor and go to Gruyères, Switzerland.

Typically how people with taste works. Its been the same. When I was 12, Aliens all the way. Now, I prefer Alien 3 to Aliens. I would have that mess of a movie, rather than watching one of the most Christ like characters on screen. Which hurts it all the more, since Ripley in one was just a survivor. She made poor choices, she made choices that angered the audience, she was human. My first time watching it, I wouldn't have even guessed she was the main character and thought she was a bitch after trying to leave Kane outside due to company policy. How many fucking films do you have your lead want to abandon a crew member? Yet in hindsight, it turned out to be the correct decision. Its bit like that which made the film phenomenal.
Followed it up with Aliens, where every damn thing that comes out of her mouth and every action, is exactly what the audience knows is right. It become more increasingly painful to watch when you're old enough to realize how shallow the film is in comparison to the original.

I remember seeing the chestburster scene(without context) way too young while I was eating, and for the rest of the night thought my food was going to do that.
Wonderful films, and the blu Ray set is damn fine. I also own some kooky collectibles like a zenomorph kubrick and "big chap" chopsticks.
The art design is incredible. Also, I really need to play Isolation.
Last xmas? But I want it now. I'm not even a sweater person, either.

Great game, but I couldn't get over "the perfect organism" having less senses than a cat or dog and you can hide behind a table right next to it and it wouldn't know any better. Is that canon btw? Would be weird if it was.
