Look, I'm a huge Aliens fan. I even own a 3-sheet poster from Alien. I have minis from the tabletop RPG, comics, etc. etc.
I've only seen Alien: Resurrection once, in the theater, and never again. I hated the Alien with its human skin and stuff. Hated it SO much.
And now it looks like they're gonna do that again? 😭
The more movies they release (Prometheus, Covenant, AVP etc) the better Resurrection looks imo. I feel like the original 4 are all great when stacked against the newer films in the genre. Agree that the skin alien sucked, however.
Even though I hated it, I still bought it on Blu-ray. 🤪 I should take the shrinkwrap off and watch it. Maybe it won't seem as bad now.
I sometimes feel like one of the only people who actually liked Alien 3, taken on its own. If you wanted Aliens 2 you were going to go away disappointed, but the storyline was very much like something out of the comics. Aliens: Sacrifice is one of my favorite graphic novels and it has a really similar feel to Alien 3.
2 and 3 are my favorites.
I liked Resurrection up until the ugly one appeared.
Xenomorphs are supposed to be the perfect, beautiful killing machine, not that ugly abomination.
That was my issue with it too! Xenomorphs are supposed to evolve, not DEvolve. Why would it trade chitin for skin? Made no sense.
I remember being terrified of the scene with the failed Ripleys clones when I was a child but also liked the movie because the aliens were very visible in contrast with previous movies where they didn't show them much. But apart from that, it has been more than a decade and don't remember much.
I recently watched the original and aliens and my body is ready for Alien 3 and Resurrection.
I think I'm fine as long as we get more alien content.
The 4k Remaster of Alien looks 🔥 on an OLED They said they were gonna remaster the others...am still waiting 😭
The audio is 🔥 too. Not ATMOS but has 5.1 HD-DTS, which is still miles above the cruddy mono speaker we had on our CRT tv growing up -.-
I think i blocked the skin alien from my memory because i dont remember that at all
Hold up, there was a human alien? dafak?
It was something in the middle between human and xenomorph. Also the ugliest thing to ever exist.
