I watched Aliens - Resurrection back to back and I think all of them were good in their own way. Can't wait for a continuation to the Ripley saga, although I guess it really isn't Ripley in Resurrection.

I know some people for whome Alien 3 (ultimate extended/assembly) is the best of the series, and I can see their point, it certainly stands on its own - which is probably the best way to take it. Perhaps it has the best dialogue of the series sans the Marine's from Aliens.
I'm a big fan of that version.

I can see things to like but it aims to be a horror and, for me, fails miserably in that regard. No tension, no scares, barely even drama. And that's even before we get them running away from the alien-eye view and the fact that it looks like it was made on a shoestring compared with the first two.

The compositing was a main offender. The lighting didn't match and it made the puppet (which was pretty good) look like really early days CG rather than an actual puppet in a lot of shots. And I remember the end sequence climax being something along the lines of: awesome shot, awesome slo mo shot, awesome slo mo shot, wow awesome... dodgy composite. On the plus side, I thought some of the dark sets were great. Very claustrophobic even though there seemed to be space around them.

I specifically remember the whole section where she tries to find bishop in the scrapped ship, and just feeling very uneasy throughout that whole section of the film. The tension is almost palpable.
I think overall the workprint version is superb, despite being obviously imperfect in many ways.Last edited by PaTaito; 25-02-2015, 02:14.

^^ the Preview Post button is your friend...
...as am I
I forgot my earphones so I'll have to watch it when I get home
I really liked Alien 3 AC. Maybe I was expecting so little and was pleasantly surprised. I haven't got round to Prometheus yet but I will at some point, even though I'm sure it's rubbishy-rubbish.Last edited by randombs; 26-02-2015, 05:50.

I really enjoyed Alien 3. Ripley running around with her Pulse Rifle, firing grenade rounds at countless aliens and queens, rescuing kids and climbing up and down lots of ladders.
Wait... I'm thinking of the Mega Drive game.
Prometheus has so much potential, but it's ruined by all the "experts" on the ship doing loads of stupid things.
It's like they're as smart as the cast of TOWIE.
