TrilobiteMember8212 XPJun-25-2017 3:10 PMIt 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.

PraetorianModerator2414 XPJun-25-2017 3:30 PMThat chick that pwned by the predator disk was pretty brutal!
PraetorianMember2861 XPJun-25-2017 3:43 PMThe 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
PraetorianMember3073 XPJun-25-2017 4:23 PMThe predator and the predator planet...that's about it lol
Nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn't let you in heaven for

PraetorianAdmin4935 XPJun-25-2017 5:22 PMThe 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.
NeomorphMember1541 XPJun-25-2017 8:40 PMBarf The Mog yep, and I think you have a few problems with this movie too :-)
TrilobiteMember8212 XPJun-25-2017 8:49 PM
- 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!
FacehuggerMember146 XPJun-25-2017 9:08 PMjoylitt - Yes, only a few, but I liked it. The novel is superb, so far.
dk - The DVD/Blu-Ray will hopefully have some nice features, definitely looking forward to that release.
AVP & AVPR are painful to watch.
TrilobiteMember8212 XPJun-25-2017 9:10 PMjoylitt 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.
TrilobiteMember8212 XPJun-25-2017 9:13 PMBarf 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.
NeomorphMember1541 XPJun-25-2017 9:18 PMdk Prometheus is a masterpiece compared to Covenant. I would go to a hypnotist before watching it if I were you.
TrilobiteMember8212 XPJun-25-2017 9:21 PMjoylitt 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.
NeomorphMember1541 XPJun-25-2017 9:35 PMPrometheus is so so. At least looks good. Covenant doesn't.
TrilobiteMember8212 XPJun-25-2017 10:57 PMBarf The Mog Agree. I just hate buying something knowing other better versions are coming to milk my wallet.
TrilobiteMember8212 XPJun-25-2017 11:01 PMBack to OT- A positive thing thing was seeing a bunch of hapless stupid kids die ensuring a cleaner gene pool in the future. MWHAAAAA! Good riddance!
NeomorphMember1541 XPJun-25-2017 11:12 PMdk What about all those brain cells that died while watching the damn movie. Requiem gets the job done in that regard: it makes you more stupid.
DeaconMember10358 XPJun-26-2017 7:02 AMI am going to make a Frightening Admission...
I have only seen the movie... partially twice... and i dont really remember much about it as i lost interest and never saw it all the way through or paid attention as it was so awful.
I thought the Effects and Action was pretty decent... but the Plot and Silliness was Awful... maybe when i give it 3/10 i am being generous..
Oh well i will go and Dig out the Boxed Set and Watch it after and then i can come back to this Topic ;)

DeaconMember10358 XPJun-26-2017 7:07 AM"Good point. Glad I only watched it 1.5 times."
LOL i know what you mean.... my first time people with me was talking and it got so awful we was joking about stuff and talking about the other movies.
So i never really paid too much attention to whole thing.
My 2nd attempt i got half way through and could not watch anymore lol..... and i usually have a Great Memory but i recall so little for this movie which means its Truly Forgettable.
I think i stopped watching it because it took a Big Dump all over the Franchises...
Mind you i felt AC had done a tiny dump on the Franchise too, but with AC i can kind of see why things was done the way they was...

FacehuggerMember357 XPJun-26-2017 9:57 AMEver since I bought AVPR on DVD, I have certainly got my money’s worth. Well worth every penny spent. It is a DVD that has really stood the test of time imo. I think one of the great things about it, is that it is a great conversation piece and ice breaker. I just cannot express any more praise about it. It is a rare event indeed if it is not to be seen on my DVD player ever since making it into a makeshift ash tray.
