So, I just got back from the opening showing of it… And I’ll have to say that I was surprised. It was definately better than I had expected. Warning- The movie is cheesy. I’m sure you KNOW that since its a movie mixing both Aliens AND Preditors… The end result was a fan pleasing film that did both sides good justice. And well, humans still suck.

After some more of you see it we’ll start talking about the juicy bits… But I’m not going to leave any spoilers just cause I think you should see it instead of being tempted to read the black bars… lol

Have fun!

I just want to know ONE thing:

Does it have any GOOD human characters?

Arnold and Ripley were the ones that really made the original movies work. If the humans are just there to a) explain things and then b) get killed, count me out.

Meh, the main black lady is pretty tough, and there’s one little joke in there where a guy does the “bishop knife trick” with a pen… But other than that, I didnt think the humans became very “badass” in this movie…

Exactly

It’s not the “badassness” that made the characters work (though it helped). It was that they were SMART enough to deal with the monsters. Like whem Ah-nold figured out how to become “invisible” to the predator, or Ripley used the loading exosuit to fight the Alien Queen. I just want characters who THINK, and who have some personality.

I also have some problems with the story (I found the script online a while ago) but I’ll save them for after most people have seen the movie.

I’ll say this, tho: why does everyone think the Predators are so cool? They’re NOT honorable foes. They give themselves all sort of unfair advantages in battle… and when they lose, they use the ultimate sore loser tactic: self-destruction. Heck, the Klingons are better.

I think if you download a script, then bitch about the plot, something’s wrong with you.
You go to extra lengths to get a copy of it before anyone else can see it, and then you end up bitching about it. It just doesn’t sound right to me.

I, personally, thought the movie was pretty well executed.

8

I want to see it. ;_;

9

teehee
aliens vs klingons.
or even better aliens vs nameks. :moogle:

10

I want to see it, but I can wait until it comes out on dvd or something. Already been informed of the storyline by my sister.

11

So yes, the humans in this movie do think… alot, and they are pretty well developed characters as far as an action movie goes… HOWEVER, lol, everyone except the black chick gets fucking PWNED… Yeah, the Aliens rock some shit in this movie…

And as for the Preditors… They arent human, thier ideas of honor and battle strategy doesnt have to seem fair to us. Think about hunters who go into the wild for big game hunting…

“Ohh honkey-day! I’monna shoot mah self a bear! Lookie this! Its a fucking big ol rifle! Oh, there be the bear! He dun see me… haha, BLAMMO! Wooo, I’m such a good hunter! Time to haul my trophy home!”

So yeah, preditors are very similar to humans in one respect.

Edit- In the eyes of both Humans (now a days) and preditors… Hunting is a sport, play to win, fuck it all. Who gives two shits about honor? I have the bigger gun, therefor I win.

12

I saw it last night… I liked it. :smiley: I think my friends and I all found it alot funnier than it was supposed to be, but whatever. And Wil, I actually think they did a decent job in terms of building up the characters personalities… I was rooting for Lex (main female character) most of the way through.

I’m pissed that grid-face died! he was the best alien ever!

14

The Predators <i>are</i> cool and, in a way, honourable, though. In Predator 2 the main character killed a predator and was standing over him, and then like ten other predators uncloaked right beside him. Then they honoured him for his kill and left. Same for AvP, the predator even made friends with and allowed what he considered a backwater and inferior species to fight beside him. They do give themselves unfair advantage in battle in the same way that a human wears clothes, boots, and takes along binoculars, guns, a jeep, etc. when hunting. It’s their equipment, really. When you watch the movie you’ll understand why they self-destruct when they lose :stuck_out_tongue: It’s so that the alien infestation within the temple never reaches the surface of the Earth and wipe out the entire planet

15

Really, I would have thought that they’d do it because it’s honorable to kill yourself if you lose a battle. That they kill everyone else is just an added bonus.

16

The point <i>is</i> to kill everyone else >>; For the safety of the human race, of course.

17

Did you even see the movie?

18

Not this one, but the other predators. And I wasn’t saying it about this movie specifically, it’s just what honorable foes do if they lose. And since there were only previews out yesterday in Ireland, and I don’t like going to that 'cause they’re always ruined for me by people who shout things at the screen.

19

Well if a Predator was fighting an Alien and lost, it would be better to die than be hauled back to the nest and infested. At least then there wouldn’ t be an Alien/Predator hybrid

20

When Aliens infest creatures, they don’t form hybrids, they just form more Aliens.
