#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 They will have to suffer through Prometheus and Alien: Covenant as well! The DC is the least if their worries that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,514 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I saw the DC at the cinema, in...2003, was it, or 2004? I went with someone who hade never seen any ALIEN film. She was terrified. I had more fun watching her, than I did witching the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I don't think the Dutch theater chains have confirmed which version of Alien they're showing yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,492 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Never cared much for the DC of ALIEN (as opposed to ALIENS and ALIEN 3 [sort of], in which case I find them superior to the theatrical cut). The absolutely fantastic PROMETHEUS sounds like a good warm-up, and I'm hoping COVENANT is more consistent in tone than the snippets we've been shown so far. Sounds like a great evening, overall. I'll be seeing COVENANT on the press screening May 16th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 The theatrical's almost always superior, especially in the case of Aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1Ø66 4,711 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I like a lot of the DC of Aliens, particularly the auto rifles, but the whole thing is marred by the colony scene at the beginning, which is completely unnecessary and kills the momentum.

Jay 37,346 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Agreed, if you watch the DC and just press the chapter skip button as soon as the colony sequence starts, you're watching a pretty sweet cut of the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,306 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 The latest batch of stills for this film are pretty interesting. It appears this films starts right where Prometheus left off, as Spoiler David & Shaw arrive at the Engineer home-world. I think the suggestion that this film is just a soft reboot of Alien are off the mark. It feels much more like Prometheus 2 than the marketing is letting on (probably due to the inverse situation with Prometheus, where it was promoted as Alien 0 but ended up being entirely different).

Quintus 5,399 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Well, it's a romantic tragedy framed by a world famous sea disaster, but its actual quality is defined much more by the craftsmanship of its making rather than any artistic strokes. Typical James Cameron filmmaking actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical James Cameron filmmaking actually. Oh don't get me wrong. The second half of the film from the moment where Thomas Andrews makes his prediction ("She's made of iron, sir! I assure you, she can... and she will. It is a mathematical certainty.") to the moment where the ships finally breaks in two is a cinematic triumph in long-form suspense. Absolutely edge of your seat stuff that few do as well as Cameron. From the human drama that unfolds to the terrifying images of water that first crawls slowly forwards, but eventually just comes barreling in. Breathless film making! But a changed background really doesnt bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
