Now that a new alien film is almost upon us, lets discuss the amazingly diverse alien film series.
1. ALIEN(1979) - theatrical cut.
My all time favorite film. The set design, the acting, the atmosphere. everything is top notch.
This is the film that made me love the art of film.
2. ALIENS(1986)- 1991 special edition
Where the first film was a haunted house. This one is a roller coaster. It is nonstop from beginning to end. The special edition add the fact Ripley had a daughter who is now dead, It shows more of the colony before finding the derelict. Also the sentry gun scene is pretty damn cool.
3.ALIEN 3 (1992)- Assembly Cut
This film is what happens to be the reason I love this series. Each director doing his own take on a alien film. David Fincher took a much darker different approach to the series. The assembly cut adds much needed character development.
4 Prometheus(2012) Breathtakingly beautiful but the script is lacking. Has some interesting concepts that are not fully fleshed out.
5.Alien Resurrection(1997)-theatrical cut.
Basically the director making a french comedy. Everybody hates it. I like it a lot. Joss Whedon wrote it and you can see the Betty crew is a early version of the crew from firefly. Plus the auriga is the best ship is the series.
I don't consider avp part of the series.Just bad monster movie spin-offs.
So what are your guys ranking and thoughts on the series. Also are you looking forward to covenant?
