WHOA, this is one messed up movie! :O
Don't know how many of you saw it, or have renter it yet but duyammn! kids, pregnant mothers, anyone...killed. :O
I'm 1 hour into the movie and the body count is rising faster by the minute. I lost count at 20 something... not that many compared to some movies, but some things were always "sacred" and untouchable is horror flicks, this breaks all rules.
I don't quite know how to feel about it, but it is an exciting flick. So far I'd have to say it is "good", with some more B or even 1 A list star it could be a lot better. I just wanted to say OMG! Death, death, death. :eek:
-
I saw the previews, looked too scary for me. :)
-
I'm finished, decent movie... good action, bad story, bad actors, obvious ending, crummy lead-out.
overall I say 6 out of 10, but I still have faith in the series.

The entire series started going downhill at Aliens 3. Aliens is still the king.
I did watch the movie though. Wasn't great, wasn't bad. I think their budget is slowly dwindling though :(

You need something like this:

Ya, you know I'm a big fan of the whole Aliens trilogy. I was disappointed with this movie. I mean the action was ok but it was more about watching people get whacked with no real plot behind it.
They need to take it back to more like the second movie which had some "unknown" factors to it which lead to suspense and the thriller type experience. You need to bring the Aliens to Earth via one of the Preditor space ships, wipe it out and have the whole thing set in the time frame of the second movie. Then we'll have a good Aliens movie again!
I can give this one a 5 out of 10.

Nah, if you want a scray movie that breaks the rules with the worst ending of any modern movie made, check out "The Mist". The ending to that movie is just wrong.
-
Awe, that ending was AWFUL. I was yelling at the TV very loudly the whole time, 'cause I just knew it was coming that way... horrible... just horrible!
-
The Mist was a good movie. I think Stephen King has panicked people down perfectly.
And the ending was hilarious.
-
Haven't seen it(A vs P)..I just finished watching "Warbirds" though....what has to be the worst movie ever made.Flying dragons that can flap their way past Zekes,B29's and take them out..blech!...You are actually cheering for the monsters to chew up the cast the acting is so bad.
-
Now we know tho how Weyland Mutari began, so...when the Nostromo was ordered to setup down on, WM knew about the aliens and the predators. Weyland was Bishop and Mrs Mutari got the gun at the end.

Haven't Read the mist but I did read that that was not how the book/story ended. the director changed it up to the movie ending after getting the OK from King. King said he loved it and wished he had thought of it.
I liked it because it had my jaw hitting the floor. I let a friend of mine watch it and she said she was screaming at the TV, "NO, NO, NO,". :lol

Yep, Alien and Aliens are great classics. All the rest are crap.
-
Saw The Mist in the movie theaters...the whole theater applauded when the guy with the glasses saved the day. Those that have seen it will know what I'm talking about. A great movie IMO, captured the other-wordliness great.

I watched that this weekend, and 'wrong' is puttingit lightly. We were sitting there with our jaws hanging open looking at one another saying "WTF?!?!?!?!?!"

I'm not into this stuff and wouldn't bother to watch it, but I did look it up on wiki; dang you're right that ending is just wrong!

Fixed the link.
HOWEVER I wouldn't go and read it if you plan on seeing the movie. It will ruin it for you.

I haven't seen "The Mist" I might have to check it out.
What I meant by breaking rules is stuff like little kids getting killed, and mothers in labor being killed and all that. Some of the more "taboo" things in cinema.
I didn't mention the "evolution" of the Alien was interesting. They alluded to it before in 3 with the alien coming from the dog and being "different" as Ripley put it in the movie. They alluded to the alien takes on some traits of the host that births it, and that's an interesting premise. Alson in 4 with the genetically engineered queen. Imagine all manner of creatures on earth spawning different iterations of the alien? Lions, Manatees, Horses, Gorillas... that would be some sight.

73, you should definitely see the Mist. I agree that they had it pegged on the people... and the ending... awe, man... the ending was a just a screamer.
-
AvP was bad enough. AvPR is definitely chomping at the stupid bit. They should've just made an AvP based on the Dark Horse comic series.
-
I'm not going to go see it, reason being:
Alien: awesome sci-fi thriller
Aliens: one of my favorite movies! "game over man, game over!" could just watch it over and over again!
Aliens 3: watchable, but in my opinion this is where the whole thing shoulda ended
Alien Resurection: barf
Alien vs Predator: pg 13? who the hell let them make a pg13 aliens movie?
this newest one had my hopes up with the R rating but now that I know the plots crap and it has crummy acting I'll just leave it alone. Why ruin the series in my mind anymore?
-
Seems to me that "The Mist" ending is pretty much just like "Thinner". You thought it was going to end happily then BAM.....boot to the head!
