Like we said - "interesting"
Did you watch the regular releases or the extended? The extended version of A3 (in particular) is a huge improvement (our current fave of them all).
.
You should have seen my reviews of Jurassic World and Jurassic Park haha.
I watched all films either in Director's Cut or extended. I might try regular but I don't think it'll be desirable for me.
Like I said, Alien 3 wasn't bad for me. It had shortcomings but it's a solid flick. As I mentioned with Alien, I don't like too much effects especially in the older movies were it can look awkward after being spoiled with CGI (this I mean of myself). So all the aliens running upside down and so on just wasn't my thing. It was cool to see some alluded deaths in the sense of Alien and Aliens.
Resurrection also wasn't too bad, but some of the dialogue is awkward. And while I love Ripley, I really don't see her character needed after 3. I guess 3 was good in the sense to get closure of Hicks and Newt; but still don't see why her specifically being cloned is essential. Especially after 200 years.
I had an idea for Alien 5 but honestly the only way to fix the series is to do **** that would just be a turn off, like time travel or something. It's a cheap writing move, but if it will over line what happened in 3 and 4; I'm for it. But like with Prometheus, you can tell how even writing a "prequel" has had issues lining up with the first.
Still enjoy Prometheus, but probably for other reasons. I suppose one could say I'm just not a huge fan of the Alien series to understand why Prometheus has problems.
Since I haven't compared it to the theatrical, for the moment I still really enjoy the film. I really didn't understand the mass bashing and hating of 3 and 4. Pretty solid in my books.
Yeah, lol, I read about that on IMDb. I think after reading that, I especially enjoyed the film. It was such a crazy scene.
I can see what you mean about the copy and paste. It could have been much better with a bit more subtle gestures and easter eggs.

I don't think he'll pull it off, but it'd be interesting to see that kind of idea. Maybe why the creation of Alien was more to cleanse any being that is inferior to them; like a maniacal but misunderstood Engineer. Or could be some other race, or something. Kind of give it that Lucifer angle.
I'm hoping The Martian might change it up. That crew would be awesome in a film though; Chastain, Damon, Mara, Pena and so on.
I will have to give that a try, thanks for the suggestion. Need another reason to watch the film.
