What does /tv/ think of Alien Resurrection?
>>
Bad
Furthermore, I want to watch Ripley fuck Call
>>
>>220828460
Premise 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.
>>
>>220828460
Sigourney Weaver is like Jamie Lee Curtis

I'm tired of pretending they were ever hot
>>
>>220828460
Thought it was slop first time I saw it. Ended up liking it more than Alien 3 actually.
>>
>>220828533
Not at all. Sigourney Weaver was hot and somehow still is hot. Jamie Lee Curtis always just looked weird.
>>
>>220828460

Liked 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.
>>
>>220828460
Comfy kino, the extended cut is even better.
>>
>>220828460
Absolutely 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
>>
>>220828460
Literally 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
>>220828582
Both were hot and both of you are faggots
>>
>>220828748
After they crash land on Earth, for the next movie they should've adapted the Arcade game. It would have been Kino.

It 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
>>
>>220828503
Sounds 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
>>
>>220828460
It's not very good but winona and siggy are hot together so i can tolerate it
>>
>>220828460
ROTJ but for the alien franchise

>>220829121
No.
>>
>>220828808
Sounds like Hell Boy (2004 and 2008),
>>
>>220828460
slightly below Alien 3 theatrical cut but still a fun weird movie.
>>
>>220829155
The 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.
>>
>>220829566
Oof I fucked up. I was thinking of Alien 3 not resurrection. Gonna go kms now.
>>
I like it, it's definitely a guilty pleasure.
>>
>>220829578
i think there's a few people in this thread that have made that mistake
>>
>>220829791
Personally 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.

if they had lezzed out it would have elevated the movie
>>
>>220828460
It's just not a good film
>>
>>220830003
It 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.
>>
>>220828460
I 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
>>

The 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.. lol

I 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.
>>
>>220828481
i am late to the party this completely sums up my feelings. fpbp.
>>
>>220828460
I 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.
>>
>>220835712
That 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
>>
>>220828460
Is 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.
>>
>>220829924
You first, pajeet.
>>
>>220828460
I 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 monoentity

Depending 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
>>
>>220835794
Prometheus is amazing.
>>
>>220828460
fun non-canon movie that's completely useless for the franchise
>>220829019
except 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

aesthetically speaking it's the best alien movie after the original

They should have let Blomkamp make his movie

Newt and Hicks should have died but alien 3 should have been made well instead of shittily. Still pretty kino.

practical ayylmaos look great

it 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.

>>220828460
Alien 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 seems

It was basically just his first draft.

I'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.

The 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.

I 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.

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.
