No but the movie introduces the concept that Predators are travelling the universe splicing their dna with that of the various aliens they encounter in order to steal their best abilities and become the ultimate life form. The Predator’s goal in the new movie is to kidnap an autistic kid and steal his autism because the predators believe it is the next evolution of man whilst the kid’s dad and his army friends try to rescue him.

At the end of the movie the autistic kid even builds his dad a predator suit of his own to fight the predators in a sequel that will probably never get made.

Window vacuum scene made me laugh harder than the end of AI.

That's not a compliment to either of them.

3 sucked because they killed Hicks and Newt

I wish they would have made the Neil Blumpkin Alien 5 movie which was going to be Alien 3 and ignore everything after Aliens and start fresh.

I have this old concept art saved





Also, in case you don't play video games, it might be fun watching a full no commentary play through of Alien Isolation, as they went nuts with the "1970's vision of the future" thing from Alien, if you really liked that sort of thing.

Aliens hosed it up with the tone but in the best way possible. It's an undeniably great and classic movie with some of the best one-liners in modern cinema. Plus social commentary on the Vietnam war that isn't obnoxious.


Wish people would stop saying this. Portraying the noble Viet Cong as bugs is insanely hosed up lol.

Anyone that thinks 3 or 4 are miles better than Prometheus or covenant is wrong and dumb. All four are in the same ballpark, which is not bad but not good.

The movie in terms of themes and plotting is pretty good.

In terms of absolutely making GBS threads on the last film in order to reboot the story, unnecessary runtime of attempted rape, and having effects that were a bad idea even at the time, it's still real hard to watch.

One of those "it's a good movie but I need to warn you about a few bits".



This is my take exactly. 3 is actually a pretty good movie and if it wasn’t part of the Alien series, it would probably be at least a cult classic. Watching 3 after Aliens is a huge downer and completely ruins the ending of the second movie. What it really needed was to be filmed as an Alien movie but with no tie-in to Sigourney Weaver and associated characters.

Alien^3 would have been good without Ripley, Newt etc being in it. If some rando ship crashed with an egg would have made for a good self contained horror type movie like the first one.

Whoa, I thought I knew everything about unrealized Alien 3 projects but I've never seen this before, that loving slaps.

Gotta agree with everyone else the 3 we got would've been a lot better if it was its own thing and didn't spend the first ten minutes taking a huge poo poo on the end of Aliens.

I mean cool but Blomkamp has only made a single good film (D9, obvs) and the more he releases the more that one film feels like it was a pure fluke.

I thought i heard goon consensus was that 3 and 4 were dog poo poo garbage? While you can't touch Alien and Aliens for how good they are (and different) i did enjoy 4 a little more than 3. Post your certified grade-A alien opinions here

also lets not talk about prometheus or covenant, two movies that actually ARE dogshit bad, objectively

4 has the sheer power of Jean-Pierre Jeunet backing it and thats why it's acceptable op

Fincher's best cut of A3 was still a bad movie because A3 was a bad movie made with bad choices

Chappie is amazing. It's like an updated Short Circuit with the racism removed. Elysium was fine, though they couldn't quite get the bounty hunter plotline to stick so the movie feels out of phase with itself.

🥄Mah spoon is too big!🍌

We need a Commando sequel called "Commandos" where a grizzled old Arnie's grandchild has been kidnapped and it's up to him and a ripped as gently caress Alyssa Milano who he's been teaching how to best murderise people with gardening implements to just loving ruin an entire army of disposable mooks in an insane bloodbath that flirts with an NC rating.
