Neill Blomkamp's ALIEN is official!

[The Ween]

I saw Chappie last night, unfortunately I must report the reviews are correct. I sat watching this mess in a very puzzled mindset. There are some cool bits, but it's just so badly judged. Like Sucker Punch without the music/girls. It's loud annoying and cliched. And the acting even, Weaver is awful. And I love Weaver in everything, even bad movies. And the robot design is so ****ing dull. We have seen every bit of this before in better movies.

I don't think I want to hear anymore SA accents for a while.

I liked it. I don't see where people say it's a mess or it's crap.

'cause that's what everything has to be now for some reason.

More movies = bigger box office.

Casuals always eat it up.

I hate to say it, but concerned this guy is a one hit wonder.....he has an interesting style, but I've liked one movie of his and one only.

Dark City > Inception.

much.

If they go that far with Hick's scarring it's a fail. A clear inconsistency with the end of Aliens. He should not be that ****ed up.

 

[Rorywan]

That's Woodruff himself in make-up.
Must be desperate for the gig. Make-up is ugly.

I do not want to see that movie. Yuk.

Yup, it's not even on his nose and mouth...

Absolutely. I think it will be equally stupid if they try and pull a "Luke/Wampa" and have him get sprayed AGAIN right at the beginning of the movie by a different alien as a way of using the extra make-up to hide his age or something. Just set the film 30 years later and give him the same scarring he had at the end of ALIENS.

If they've had him hunting Aliens or something he'd Likey suffer more scars over time

 

[RiggsMcClane]

Or maybe the acid continued to eat at him in transit. Still, I'd rather him not be that badly scarred.

Weaver is barely even in Chappie. Must have been close to her screen time in Paul.

Sorry but that makes no sense, there was no more acid at the end of Aliens, we should not start being apologists of Blomkamp so soon.

it started

 

[GasparZizou]

Yup, especially after Chappie.

Which I'm hearing it isn't nearly as bad as critics say it is.

 

[DarthIndy]

Well, the acid did tear through 3-4 decks of a starship in Alien. Seems odd that it only eats through a couple layers of skin upon contact.

 

[GasparZizou]

That's a known continuity mistake or whatever from Alien to Aliens, it's very well known.

In Aliens the acid isn't as corrosive as in Alien, besides, Hicks was treated and cleaned, and none of the acid went to his nose or mouth or below the cheekbones, it was just poor attention to detail.

 

[DarthIndy]

Not defending the excessive scarring, definitely too much. Just noting the discrepancy between the films.

 

[a-dev]

I question whether any actual acid even got on his face at all to be honest. Why would it **** Drake up so severely earlier in the film and yet Hicks would be so unaffected by it on his face that he seems to have more time to worry about the acid burning through his armour?

Could he have received minor facial burns from, I dunno, rising heat?

I mean that art work and that make-up test make it look like he got full-on showered with liquid acid down one side. That clearly didn't happen.
