i didnt think alien resurrection was complete crap, but i did hate what they did with ripley... turning her into this killing machine that could take down aliens by herself... for me the alien series was always about seeing things and experiencing them from ripley's point of view, feeling the tension and apprehension she felt... resurrection took that way, which i didnt like...
The first two films are good becouse of the director's and the good cast and acting . Alien 3 and four are all down hill becouuse they try to copy Alien but they both failed .
Alien3 Director's Cut, that's the one to watch. No copying there. Fincher was the only one attempting to make a movie that was not primarily about the aliens. That was new, not copying. But that can only be seen in de DC.
i agree they made it less about the alien, and when they did bring it in, they did mix in a bit of mythology too about how some would worship the creature, which i found interesting...
i think there is a little bit of copying on a very basic level, but not in a bad way whatsoever...
But even after 30 years the orignial is still a shocking movie . Did you know riddly wanted a man to be a leader of the crew but Sigourney Weaver got the role .
I think you should. I alwasy thought Alien 3 sucked big time, major copy of Alien... until I saw this: the twenty minutes in the middle they cut out made all the difference.
Well, the scary part was gone already. I mean the basic trick to the original is gone. I thought Fincher made a good attempt to focus on the impact such an alien intrusion has on the people. Especially after Cameron's action hour.
