Alien

[BadMoon]

Alien is absolutely the classic of the series (obviously there wouldn't be a series without it) but I prefer Aliens and Prometheus over it.

I actually agree with this. For some reason Alien bores me.

I don't hate it, and can appreciate it. It's just not my cup of tea. I would much rather kick back and watch it's sequel.

Oh ALIEN is definitely my cup of tea. I just like the other two more.

I love Alien. Easily the best in the series and a classic.

Alien-Classic
Aliens- Really over rated but OK if a bit silly.
Alien 3- Not terrible but not needed.
Resurrection - A$$

I concur with your findings. But I also have a soft spot for Alien3.
And I like Aliens quite a lot.

I like Rorywan.

Aliens is silly? Some of you can drop dead now if you want....

Randomly enough Prometheus actually makes Alien 3 finally somewhat feasible. Until now there had always been that gigantic plothole of the "magic egg" appearing on the Sulaco with no possible way for the Queen to lay it or it to appear.

But the "black goo" from Prometheus that is now assumed to be dripping in some form off the creatures themselves could theoretically have caused an egg to hyper-evolve or grow with little conventional rationale.

I wouldn't classify the movie in general as silly, but it does have it's fair share of silly and cheesy moments.

I prefer. . .Prometheus over it.

Horrendous.

I didn't mean for this to devolve.

Can we please talk about Alien? Pretty please?

 

[DiFabio]

Brometheus over Alien? You can't be serious.


THIS TIME YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR KHEV.

Alien = greatest horror/sci-fi film ever created.

Alien is at the very top of the Sci-Fi horror heap. It blew everything out of the water in it's time and to this day is still miles ahead of the game. Even Scott can't top it. Lightning in a bottle. Personally, it's my absolute favorite horror film!

Thanks for starting this so I don't have to ruin all the other Alien-themed threads out there for not comparing as well.

Then talk.

 

[furystorm]

I dig the slow burn, and feel its almost a dying art. I mean, aside from the egg scene, no real terrifying action until the chestburster at about an hour in. And then all hell breaks loose! Also, I actually cared about most of the characters. They had depth.

There's a start, but I'm on my phone, and have company right now.
