Never liked the movie way to not even good to watch just wanting to know who created the humans us....People said that it was a prequel or the beginning of aliens...When i saw the last part....It looked nothing like that aliens I saw, although i did enjoy most of the science theories
Oh and Quick question how do you put it like that as a video?
I liked the movie, it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad.
However, I think the man was trying to do some 'grand philosophical' presentation to a series that's about Aliens butchering humans, and while it could have been more successful than it was, it was in the way that it was all presented, that had people going, '...wut?'
I think the movie had a philosophical idea somewhere along the line. It was originally was supposed to be its own film which is why the Alien tie in feels to tenuous and unnecessary. It's a shame really. The pieces were there to create an interesting narrative but it just devolves into a cheap monster flick pretty early on.
Quite true, on both the philosophy and the devolving into a monster flick.
I would imagine the philosophical point being something along the lines of humanity corrupting everything pure or a cliche like having a void in one's heart that is never full despite all that we attempt to fill it with, hence the ravenous beast(s) that were created from our influence.
I got over the whole "rewriting the Alien canon/making it theirs" thing fairly quickly. I thought it was an okay movie. I might even get a copy. If there was a problem with it, it was the all-too-often RedShirt copout: have maybe two or three characters fully or mostly fleshed out, and then have a bunch of other folks who're only there to get killed. Even if EVERYBODY was going to die, I would like to have gotten to know all of them. Same problem as the "remake"/prequel of The Thing had.
For me the alien tie in was never an issue. I totally evaluated it on its own. My gripes with it were the idiotic, hole riddled plot and the staggering inconsistency and idiocy of every last character in the film. I only managed to sit through it because of the production values and Fassbender.
The Thing prequel certainly had a character issue but I'd argue the bigger problem was it basically copied the original beat for beat without understanding what made The Thing so scary to begin with. Also, a prequel was utterly unnecessary.
I dunno, I always did want to see what happened at the Norwegian camp. (not that good at looking at a scene of destruction and imagining how it came to be)
To me that's part of what helped make the original movie so tense. The unknown is a scary thing and not knowing the specifics behind the devastation at the Norwegian camp amplified the mystery of what was going on as well as the tension.
