What does /tv/ think of Alien Resurrection?
BadFurthermore, I want to watch Ripley fuck Call
>>220828460Premise is too ridiculous. Most of the movie kind of sucks. It's still nice to have, though, and there even are moments of absolute brilliance in there.
>>220828460Sigourney Weaver is like Jamie Lee CurtisI'm tired of pretending they were ever hot
>>220828460Thought it was slop first time I saw it. Ended up liking it more than Alien 3 actually.
>>220828533Not at all. Sigourney Weaver was hot and somehow still is hot. Jamie Lee Curtis always just looked weird.
>>220828460Liked it more than alien 3. Not sure if I would rank it above aliens though, as it also has the alien queen. Eggmorphing would've been a better version of the Xeno lifecycle.
>>220828460Comfy kino, the extended cut is even better.
>>220828460Absolutely fucking hate it. Whoever gave the retarded script the green light deserves to be anally raped with a pineapple.
Better than 3 but its still shit
>>220828460Literally something that only could exist in the late 90s.>further far future edginess in a setting that was already set in the far future>schizophrenic visual style and color grading>all the dusty brown and black outfits with brushed silver metals before Matrixcore took over>still manages a level of fairly interesting world building in spite of poor execution (Android revolt, the death of WY, the expansion of humanity in space with the apparent decay of Earth)>obscene and bizarre designs for the aliens and the failed Ripleys (all kino)Downside is that era of the setting is never going to be explored again. It's flawed but it still manages to be superior to most of its contemporaries. It's a 6/10 that feels better than it really is because the cast is that entertaining with their over the top performances.
>>220828533>>220828582Both were hot and both of you are faggots
>>220828748After they crash land on Earth, for the next movie they should've adapted the Arcade game. It would have been Kino.
>>220828460Kinda sucks. The dialogue is Whedonslop and bringing Ripley back as an out of character weirdo was a bad choice.>>220828533FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG
>>220828460It had some cool parts but the entire thing felt like some schizo wrote it. It bounces back and forth between almost comedic bullshit to attempts at serious horror. The one part that felt like it was really part of the Alien universe was the lab scene with all the other attempts
>>220828503Sounds wonderful >200 years after Ellen Ripley's death, military scientists aboard the space vessel USM Auriga create a clone of her, designated Ripley 8. To do so they use DNA from blood samples taken from Fiorina "Fury" 161. But the Xenomorph queen's DNA has been combined with Ripley's. As a result of the Xenomorph queen's DNA, the clone possesses enhanced strength and reflexes, acidic blood, and a psychic link with the Xenomorphs, making her more empathetic toward them than the humans she encounters. Additionally, the Xenomorph's genetic memory allows the clone to retain some of Ripley's memories.>the clone grows up with an embryo inside it. The scientists extract the embryo, raise it, and collect its eggs That's why it's a horror movie
>>220828460It's not very good but winona and siggy are hot together so i can tolerate it
>>220828460ROTJ but for the alien franchise
>>220829121No.
>>220828808Sounds like Hell Boy (2004 and 2008),
>>220828460slightly below Alien 3 theatrical cut but still a fun weird movie.
>>220829155The final Ripley fight and final Vader/Sheev fight are the only redeeming qualities of both films. Both came off of unequivocally more successful sequels. Both introduced dumb new species purely for the production of children's toys.
>>220829566Oof I fucked up. I was thinking of Alien 3 not resurrection. Gonna go kms now.
I like it, it's definitely a guilty pleasure.
>>220829578i think there's a few people in this thread that have made that mistake
>>220829791Personally I did enjoy resurrection and felt it was necessary to get the bad taste of Alien 3 out of everyone's mouth. Truly it should have been Alien 3 and we could have just jumped from Ripley floating in space again to the Auriga.
>>220828582>>220828833>>220828889Admit you're into men
>>220828460It's a fun romp
>>220829089if they had lezzed out it would have elevated the movie
>>220828460It's just not a good film
>>220830003It was serviceable schlock meant to end the alien franchise
it's a horrible movie, but it's also from the era where even horrible movies still felt like real movies, so it's well-made. this and "it was knowingly a goof, don't take it seriously bro" are all that it can be defended with.
>>220828460I think it's dumb but a lot of fun, on the same tier as movies like Con Air or Escape From LA. Gets way too much hate. The novelization is really good too, more suspenseful and less campy
Hated it, even as a kid. Wrong franchise to do a "le self-aware" quippy one. Some very good FX and Sigourney was hot as fuck, otherwise shit
It's not like it matters. They can make as many non canon movies as they want and it doesn't affect anything
>>220828460The fourth best Alien movie after Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3.
Just rewatched alien 3 cus of u guys and it was surprisingly good my memory was correct I did pause it half way through cus it got slow but I finished it the following day and it was great! The cgi alien tho.. lolI started 4 and I paused it about halfway through as well. I generally think its a great movie because its one of the first alien movies I saw all the way though and Sigorney is so sexy in it
I liked it. People on /tv/ will fight to defend the honour of films like Cube, Event Horizon, and Johnny Mnemonic, but somehow Alien Resurrection isn't good enough for them?
Everything after Aliens is fucking awful.
>>220835712/tv/ has historically had a lot of 'the first Alien is the best' type opinions when it comes to the Aliens franchise, plus a bizarre obsession with Prometheus.
>>220828481i am late to the party this completely sums up my feelings. fpbp.
>>220828460I like everything about the movie besides the script, and setting up michael wincott as the protagonist only to make him like the first dude to die.
>>220835712That joss weedon script is genuinely fucking painful, and he's publicly apologized for it. On a technical level the movie is fucking gorgeous, most of the lighting was practical, they did some processing on the film so it was those gorgeous deep rich blacks, and makes everything look kind of green/orange/yellow. Also it used ringlights before it was a meme in every rap video. I also think it has the best looking Xenos in the franchise.
Something absolutely went down between Winona and Siggy on set
>>220828460Is that the one where the half human alien gets sucked through the hole in the window?Because I remember thinking the movie sucked but I really liked that part.
>>220829924You first, pajeet.
>>220828460I remember liking it for all the over the top shit like Pearlmans crew. As far as Alien movies go it's top 5
Best effects in the series
>>220835712>/tv/ is a monoentityDepending on the time, you get wildly different opinions.
too french and gross. it's like a porn parody version of the drooling close-ups from alien. they jumped the shark, did away with all pretense and just filmed as much perverse french shit as they could. the fact that they endangered the cast's lives in the underwater scenes is ridiculous
>>220835794Prometheus is amazing.
>>220828460fun non-canon movie that's completely useless for the franchise>>220829019except for the part where cloning ripley is impossible due to the fact that she fell into a vat of fucking lava and would have been disintegrated, and the most weyu would have been able to scrape out of fury 161 at the time of her death is maybe some hair strands or unflushed poop, nevermind 200 years later they just say fuck it and go back to pick up what they can? it's a premise where the more you think about it the less it makes sense, that's the callsign of a bad film>>220828545>>220828709>>220828786you're genuinely fucking retarded if you think this shitheap was better than 3>WAH MUH NEWT N HICKSthem being killed off-screen was unironically kino for the franchise and consistent with the cosmic horror themes set up by the first film.
>>220828460aesthetically speaking it's the best alien movie after the original
They should have let Blomkamp make his movie
>>220836573Newt and Hicks should have died but alien 3 should have been made well instead of shittily. Still pretty kino.
>>220828460I liked the gadget gimp but hated perlman the shiteater
>>220829966They did behind the scenes
>>220828460It was the first one I ever saw and I went to the theaters with my dad to see it before he died so it's the best in the series
>>220828460Campy fun. It does NOT get ignored during an Alien marathon.Also, best xeno design of all the films.
>>220838269>Ripley's and Alien's ADN are fused.>Call is an old BattleAngel reformed as a bodyguard for the crew.>Ripley is cloned, raised in tubes and synthetic wombs, her body looks normal...>...but her mind is slowly becoming the Alien's.>Ripley romances Call, Call is interested because Ripley's bhaviour reminds her when she was a Battleangel.>Ripley is aroused too, Call acts sometimes like a true Alien warrior.>Add here an intimate scene between Ripley and Call for the plot.>In the middle of the film, a scan of Ripley's body reveals that her skeleton is becoming the Alien's exoskeleton.>Fake ending Intense fight between Call and Ripley : Call's perform a fatal strike, Ripley seams deadly wounded, agonizing.>The crew escapes.>The real end The crew find the Queen's lair, but there is no big Queen, only a human sized Alien, but very clever and it can imitate human voices. Call's body automatically triggers Combat-mode : Final battle with a Battleangel vs SuperAlien>Post ending Zoom on The severed Alien's head shows Ripley's face behind the translucent skin of the skull.The end.
The swimming xenomorphs were top notch effects and the guy in the wheelchair was amazing at making me care about his sacrifice.
>>220828975Neca shit is pretty inaccurate
>>220828460post the ass shot
>>220838269Fuck no
>>220838281>alien 3 should have been made wellwatch the assembly cut>>220838269neill's movie would be an even worse version of resurrection
>>220840134>the guy in the wheelchair was amazing at making me care about his sacrificeThat wasn't the guy at the wheelchair, the one who sacrifices was the one carrying the one at the wheelchair, I thing he was jamaican or something
>>220839940RESPECT
>>220835876>>220839981>best xeno design of all the filmsEww, no, even Giger said these look like turds
practical ayylmaos look greatit was basically city of lost children x alien. Some things worked, some didn't. Not a fan of the design of the hybrid, but as a creature it looks believable and physically present in the world. Also didn't like that wincott dies so early. I've mellowed up to it, especially since abject trash like Alien: Earth exists. It's a masterpiece next to it.
>>220828460aliens is the best alien moviealiens>alien>resurrection>alien3the new ones aren't real true and honest alien movies, but rather a story about a killer robot set in the alien universe
its crazy that wynona ryder was only 26 and shes old now. humans are mayflies that live for a day
>>220840537reddit rankings
>>220828460Dumb but enjoyable. Better than anything Ridley Scott has done in the last 30 years
alien is the best alien moviealien>alien3>resurrection>aliens
Resurrection have its own personality unlike Romulus nor Earth, so still the fourth best Alien project
>>220838269Dodged a bullet, Blomkamp is a hack
>>220828460Alien Resurrection is literally just Joss Whedon trying to figure out how to write Firefly. Both of them feature a ragtag band of smugglers who all live on a spaceship, which features> The charismatic captain who wears a trenchcoat> His attractive brunette love interest> The big dumb idiot muscle character who is "mostly just there to hurt people"> The quirky, but lovable ship's mechanic> The small, young, dark haired female who is secretly much more than she seemsIt was basically just his first draft.
>>220840531Oh, is today the day I pretend to give a shit about what some creepy swiss guy thinks? I must have forgotten to set the reminder on my phone.
>>220828460Much better than Alien3, which is utter shit.
>>220840531I mean yeah, these looks like shit
>>220828460Better than Aliens
>>220828460Exactly the kind of movie I assume people will be making using AI in the future.
>>220840788i wonder how embarrassed he is now that he made the robot a christcuck. wait until the leftorium gets a load of this one
>>220840629
>>220828460I've honestly never watched it. I don't really care for Alien 3 but that felt like a finale. Ripley is dead, so I didn't care to watch a film about her clone or whatever. It also looks like a late 90s/early 00s music video from the clips I've seen, so it just never interested me enough to go out of my way and watch it.
>>220841301first result matches your rankings (sans spinoffs).not my fault you dont like being exposed.
>>220828460kino
>>220841443thats not me who replied with the reddit logo. imo the redditors are right to agree with me tho. i personally don't care if some nerd calls me reddit for stating the truth however
>>220841488>>220841443For me? Its the IMDB rankingsAlienAliensAlien 3Alien Ressurection
>>220841554/v/ rankings for meAlien (1979) > Alien Isolation > all else isn't canon
>>220835712The key difference is that none of those other movies are trying to be funny. Sam Neill might spend most of Event Horizon chewing on the set, but he still plays it 100% straight. Alien Resurrection is insufferable Whedon quipslop by design. Those other movies would be shit too if they'd been written by that fucking hack.
>>220828533>I'm tired of pretendingIts pathetic that you ever did.
>>220828460We don't. There are only two Alien films, therefore this one you're speaking of doesn't exist and never did.
>>220828533More like Shelley Duvall in that aspect.Both are probably great people to know and cute, not bot attractive when everyone said they were
>>220840534>wincottWhat happened to that guy? I was pleasantly surprised when he turned up in that nigger movie but it seems like he doesn't do much these days
>>220828808That's just standard affair on the French spectrum. They either make fever dreams, softcore porn, or absolutely beautiful kinos.
>>220828975if it isn't designed to look like a double-dildo (or some kind of other sextoy), this isn't a xenomorph
>>220828460A cute-
>>220840932HOLYFUCCINGWOULD/10
The Hybrid scared the living shit ouf me when I saw this movie as a KidStill gives me the creeps, Excellent fucking designToo bad the movie is kinda "eeeh"
>>220828460Some of the body horror in this like the failed ripley clones legit fucked me up
>>220841554all 4 = kinoall the rest = shitto
>>220828460If it was called The Badass Clone and the Space Monsters, people would view it far more favorably.
Aliens > Alien > Alien 3 > Resurrection >>>> Romulus >>>>>>>>> Prometheus >>>>>>>>>>> Covenant >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> AVP >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> AVP 2
>>220842802Oh and put Alien Earth in a completely different category, it's a fanfic and the Xenomorph might as well not be in it. I'd accept it more as a Blade Runner spin off.
>>220828975That alien giyy was a bit of a dickhead wasn't he?
>>220828975We are all in agreement the smooth dome looks better than the ridged ones, right?
>>220840932All xenos should have digitigrade legs so they're towering over humans. They look dumb when they're short and normal human legs
>>220828460It's fun and Call is hot.
>>220842438>double-dildo
>>220838269>>220840433No one asked for Starship Troopers with Xenomorphs. How would he explain the black goo suit from the concept art if there's no connection to Prometheus?
>>220836573>cloning ripley is impossible due to the fact that she fell into a vat of fucking lava and would have been disintegrated, and the most weyu would have been able to scrape out of fury 161 at the time of her death is maybe some hair strands or unflushed poopI always assumed they just collected some of her blood. Didn't the doctor dude collect blood from her when he did a physical?I thought it was more ridiculous that her DNA sample/cloning could somehow contain the Xeno embryo.
>>220842802AvP:R is kino, I just saw it again last night.
>>220841761>More like Shelley Duvall in that aspect.God, you gooners are literally fucking retarded. Yes, stupid, these actresses are here to be believable non-ugly people playing a role. Imagine posting The Shining like you expect Jack Torrance to have a smoking hot wife instead of a weirdo who'll allow herself to get locked into a hotel all winter.It's about the STORY, not you're fantasies. I can believe Sigourney Weaver in a role where she's more interested in surviving/killing aliens than worrying about chipping a nail. They are not there to be "hot", you stupid jeet-tier retards.
is there a worse character in any movie than that wheelchair guy in this?
>>220844495The autistic robot from romulus maybe but its close
>>220842802And Aliens is kind of boring between when the dropship with Ferro crashes (or even after the Space Marines retreat after their first encounter with Aliens) and the final Aliens attack.So it's really1.Alien2.Aliens3.AvP:R===POWER GAP===9000.Alien 39001. Watching paint dry90002. All the other shit not worth even typing their titles
Better than the third one, and has an alive even though synthetic little girl.
sigourney haters are free to leave this board
>>220845201Japanese love bush. Also, it's perfectly ok to see a giant black penis monster rape and murder people, but ultimate haram to see a woman get naked and vulnerable after surviving a traumatic dangerous situation
>>220845201>im losing my shit because a man said he thought a seminaked woman was hotwhy?
>>220845337Because it's pretty funny seeing famous people get horny too especially for something 50+ years old
>>220845201>even with extreme anglefrauding, her tits are pitiful>yet simps are drooling about these tiny fleshy flapswhat no REAL women do to mf #603578
>>220828460The whole movie still smells of Whedon, no matter how much he claims they changed his script.
>>220828460reminder that she and Winona had a torrid lesbianic affair. Winona was penetrated by Sigourney with didos and strap-ons.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77yUVJnuRMISuper memorable scenes, some great acting from tertiary side characters.
>>220846783LESBIANIC TITANIC
>>220835373it wasnt cgi.
>>220835876> and he's publicly apologized for it. he never did, he blamed the director for not portraying it properly. its quintessential whedon.
How do you clone someone who melted in lava?
