Ryn Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The concepts he released a couple months ago were interesting. Hopefully, he's the kind of fan that keeps wank off the screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I wasn't really impressed with District 9 OR Elysium. Eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Chalupacabra Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I wasn't really impressed with District 9 OR Elysium. Eh.The FX on the movies were cool. District 9 was an average, alright story. Elysium's plot was blah. If they get a decent writer for the alien movie, it may end up being an ok movie. Look at it this way, after AVP 2, there is only one place to go: up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pong Messiah Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hicks is in the concept art. I wonder if they're gonna just pretend A3 and Resurrection never happened and pick up after Aliens? I'm in the minority -- I enjoyed A3 for what it was (even before the Assembly Cut), and actually -- yes, I'm not ashamed to admit this -- kinda loved Resurrection until the obligatory final 15-20 minutes crapped all over my experience. That being said, I would totally be cool picking up with Ripley and Hicks years after the Sulaco safely returns to Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Chalupacabra Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I have to agree with you Pong, those two films are judged pretty harshly. I have to admit when I first saw the original theatrical cut of Alien 3 back in 1993(?), I wasn't a fan. But it has since grown on me to where I can say I am a fan of it, and the re-edit just makes that much a stronger film. Alien Resurrection was almost Firefly-ish (no doubt due to Joss Whedon's involvement), and I thought it was a pretty descent flick, save for the last 15 minutes of the film.

Driver Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I have zero shame saying I love all four Alien movies, even 3. I don't count AVP 1 and 2, or Prometheus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Krawlie Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I think the only time I saw Resurrection was in theaters, so I was quite a bit younger at the time, but I remember liking it save for the half human half alien thing at the end. And I don't really remember much of anything from 3. I probably should rewatch both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuskenRaider Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I WANT this to be great, so I'll stay optimistic. Elysium and District 9 were fine. Not great but they were fine. The visual effects in them were fantastic though. Blomkamp is clearly an Alien fan who has sci-fi chops. You could certainly pick a worse guy than him to try and bring this thing back to relevance.

I don't count AVP 1 and 2, or Prometheus.I actually liked Prometheus (I actually WANT to see the sequel), and a lesser extent, AVP1 (it wasn't the best, but I thought it pretty entertaining). ...AND I actually really liked Predators, and would go as far as to say it was at least as good as the original. It was AVP2 that I actually was upset over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowDog Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm with everybody that says Resurrection was good until the ending. It has a really cool vibe and I love how creepy Ripley is in it. It just works for me as a movie. I think the problem most people have with it is it doesn't feel like the first two movies. For me that's a good thing.

Jacen123 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I didn't really like Resurrection the first time I saw it because the feel was so different. I've since warmed up to it, though it is still my least favorite of those four. I've liked District 9 and Elysium (which I finally just got around to seeing) and think that Blomkamp can do a good job with this. Hopefully, he at least won't alienate any fans with it.

Mara Jade Skywalker Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hopefully, he at least won't alienate any fans with it.I see what you did there. I am excited. I loved District 9, loved the concept of Elysium, and can't wait to see Chappie. I'll be even more excited if Sigourney Weaver comes back for this.

RelentlessMalice Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Could my dream come true based o nc the artwork I have seen? Could FOX be canceling out Alien 3 which had promise but productive issues and story changes doomed it. Alien Resurrection was just flat out dumb. If Hicks is alive and they make it to earth there is hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hicks is alive and they make it to earth there is hope.Well, I think that concepts are just that, so it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be back, though I do like Michael Beihn as an actor. While I would love to see Hicks return, simply ignoring Alien 3&4 isn't the way to do it, IMHO. But the only other way to bring back Hicks would be Clone of Hicks, and I am not sure I like that any better! The poor guy can't get a break and keeps having his characters killed in such a way so that he can't return in the sequel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest El Chalupacabra Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Yeah, which is why Clone of Hicks would be redundant, IMHO. I suppose they could explain it away by saying he was infested with an alien, too, so Weyland wanted to clone him like they did with Ripley, but that seems to retconny.

Phil_Muzza Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Alien 3 is boring as hell and the killing off of two main characters off screen at the start feels like a slap in the face to fans of Aliens.Resurrection is way too campy, super Ripley sucks.AVP & AVP2 are equally awful.Prometheus is a mess.I hope they Superman Returns it and continue on from 2. Hicks, Ripley and Newt are older and pulled back into action. Blomkamp is obviously a massive fan so I have faith in him to stay true to the series' roots.
