Why did the Alien effects look so bad in this movie???
In Dan O'Bannon's masterpiece they looked so real. The eggs, the facehuggers, look like actual flessh. In Aliens everything looks stiff, thin, and fake.
(Except for that one shot of the Alien rising out of the water brhind newt. Holy shit. Amazing shot.)

They should make a movie where cosmic horrors fight biblically accurate angels.

They did.
Its called Transformers Revenge of the fallen.

it fucking sucks

The comics also had a hand in turning them into the zerg. I remember a scene where a huge robot foghts an entire horde of them

No idea. Really no clue. A mystery

People bitch about modern remakes and masturbate to this movie, but it's everything wrong with post-2000 sequels/remakes:
>Hey, some guy did on a budget a good horror movie
>Quick, let's make a big-budget sequel to it
>With action sequences!
>And one-liners!
>And explosions!
>And let's hire some newly fanged indie director to helm it, he will do what we tell him for that fat paycheck!
Somehow, it's treated as an all-time classic

t. Assembly Cut enjoyer

I fell asleep watching this movie despite loving Alien
There is just no tension in this film, nothing to keep you awake
At a certain point you're just falling asleep to the sounds of gunfire and shitty dialogue, both of which are incredibly boring
I fucking hate Aliens and fuck everyone who thinks it's good, it's shit

Sigourney Weaver was never hot. Gen X can cope and seethe

There were only 3 suits in Aliens.
Also doesn't explain why the eggs and facehuggers look like toys in Aliens

Its an OLF.
Officially Licsensed Fanfiction.
No Dan O'Bannon = not an Alien movie

>Assrmbly Cut
You were doing so well.
>>
>>215074970
because most of the shots in the first film are of one creature in the dark and in the second film they need way more creatures and we have to be able to see them for the action to make sense
>>
>>215074893
it's a rare sequel that's actually good and actually has an independent story to tell which was even rarer at the time

You just don't understand what female sexuality is all about.

How do fictionally acccurate dragons fit into this?
>>
>>215077663
Assembly Cut is the only way 3 is watchable. And it's actually good in that format.
In fact, my head-canon is that 2 just didn't happen - Ripley crash-lands directly after the original.
>>
>>215077772
We've did that one already
>>
>>215077833
>A big, dumb, fun movie that doesn't take itself serious for a second, but isn't a constant wink-wink to the audience or quipping deadpan lines
They don't make them like they used to
