Against my own advice: Say something positive about........... AVPR

dk
MemberTrilobiteJune 25, 2017It was a shining (possibly the best) example of how to make a craptastic movie all by itself while taking a cash grabbing dump on two great franchises.
That's the only positive thing I can think of.
The Sfx were quite good quality, the scene where the aliens were picking off soldiers in the rain was nightmare-fuel. They weren't just Cameron-kamakazis, they were sneaking around, being ALIENS. :) It gave a neat little glimpse into the Yutani aspect of the universe.
IN SPACE THERE IS NO WARNING
The predator and the predator planet...that's about it lol
Nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn't let you in heaven for
I'm out of here
"He survived, he’s now in Disneyland in Orlando, and no way am I going back there. How did he end up in Disneyland? I saw him in Disneyland, Jesus Christ!"
The practical effects were fantastic and Wolf was a fun predator.
Probably the most positive aspect of it, however, was Brian Tyler. How he consistently finds the inspiration to compose truly great music for the absolute worst movies is a real gift.
joylitt - We get it, you didn't like Covenant.
Barf The Mog yep, and I think you have a few problems with this movie too :-)
- Brothers and Sisters (as applicable), it seems difficult not to hate on something that created so much anticipation- and I am still waiting for the pre ordered blu ray to watch for the fist time! I am confident I will find some hate too, but it can't possibly be worse than AVPR- I cannot accept that lol!
dk I hope the trade value on Amazon is good
joylitt I doubt it. I am a bit of a pack rat though- I still haven't gotten around to throwing away AVPR- I am unsure which vault I stored it in.
Barf The Mog I did this with Prometheus and am sure I will like AC better. I feel like a schmuck though since I know I will buy the director cut when/if it gets released.
dk Prometheus is a masterpiece compared to Covenant. I would go to a hypnotist before watching it if I were you.
joylitt I guess we will have to agree to disagree. If you liked Prometheus- great. I was expecting something different and will leave it at that. I cannot honestly say until I see AC though to be fair.
dk - Nothing wrong with owning two versions on disc.
Barf The Mog Agree. I just hate buying something knowing other better versions are coming to milk my wallet.
