| 1. Author: Neil_Philp Date: Sun 24th Mar 2024. 17:27 New Alien movie coming this August Trailer below Really hoping this is good. I`m a huge fan of the franchise and expanded universe but wasn`t too daft about Prometheus and Covenant. Hopefully this will be good Trailer certainly looks promising. COYP Reply |
| 2. Author: widtink Date: Sun 24th Mar 2024. 19:12 Went downhill after Aliens ... All subsequent sequels and prequels have been utter mince imho. I have a particular hatred for the one set on the prison planet . Can`t remember if it was 3 or 4 but my god it was truly awful. Admin Reply |
| 3. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sun 24th Mar 2024. 21:59 Aliens is an all time classic. Easily one in my top ten. Th one you are referring to Widders is Alien 3 which while not incredible I still found to be entertaining. After that though it is very much diminishing returns. They are also making a TV series which I think comes out next year. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 4. Author: parsfan Date: Mon 25th Mar 2024. 15:16 Is this the alternative third they were talking about a few years ago or just a new story involving aliens? I`ll set my expectations really low and, you never know, I might just leave an Alien film not disappointed for the first time since 1986. PS Neil, were/are you in Barrow? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The universe is ruled by chance and indifference  Reply |
| 5. Author: Neil_Philp Date: Tue 26th Mar 2024. 13:52 It`s a new story. Set between Alien and Aliens. Meant to bridge a gap between the two and also connect to Prometheus and Covenant. I`m hoping it`s good. I`m a huge fan of the franchise and have really liked alot of the expanded universe stuff like books and video games so I hope this is good. No not me mate. COYP Reply |
| 6. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Wed 10th Apr 2024. 14:51 I don`t know if their is going to be any connection to Scott`s recent junk, but I`d imagine he`s on board as a producer so will no doubt have insisted on shoehorning in some tenuous link to Prometheous. I just hope that Fed goes back to a man in a rubber suit as CGI Xenomorphs just look silly. It`ll be CGI though so I don`t hold much hope for the movie. It`s soooooooo frustrating because the look of the creature in the first two films still hold up today in the creepy factor, miles ahead of the computerised rubbish in the recent films. Hollywood is it`s own worst enemy. Reply |
| 7. Author: Neil_Philp Date: Sun 14th Apr 2024. 08:34 I think it is going to link Prometheus and Covenant to Alien so.....we`ll see how that goes They showed some footage at Cinema Con and apparently they have went with an actor in a suit for the Xenomorph so I`m good with that. I imagine they`ll go with practical effects for the most part and keep CGI to a minimum. I hope they do anyway. I`m over excessive CGI in movies COYP Reply |
| 8. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Sat 17th Aug 2024. 16:23 If you`re looking for a back to basics tense and claustrophobic Alien movie then this movie ain`t it. 6/10 . And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 9. Author: Neil_Philp Date: Mon 19th Aug 2024. 15:27 Saw it on opening night Despite going overboard with fan service and the last 10 minutes, I really enjoyed it. 8/10 for me. COYP Reply |
| 10. Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Mon 26th Aug 2024. 16:50 I`m choking to see it but I hate the cinema with all the noisy patrons yapping and rustling sweetie wrappers. It`s sooooo annoying. I`ll just have to wait for a stream in a couple of months. I know nothing can compete with the first 2 films (both sit in comfortably in my all time top 10), but I`m confident it`ll be the third best film in the series, a love letter to the fans. I`m not expecting anything ground breaking but practical effects and that retro sci-fi look are a big plus in my book and Alverez has a good track record. Just Breathe and the Evil Dead reboot were highly entertaining movies. Just keep Ridley Scott away from the franchise. They should make Alien Isolation into a film as that was a fabulous game with a decent story behind it. Amanda Ripley ftw! Reply |
| 11. Author: General Zod Date: Mon 26th Aug 2024. 19:14 Elements of Alien: Isolation are in this film. If you liked the first two then you have to go see it. The first one especially. Just wait a week or two more then most folk will have seen it. I thought it was quality. Reply |
