Quote from: SM on Aug 11, 2017, 06:05:32 AMI saw at least one article that omitted that, and then it got repeated at places like Scified and taken as gospel...

That's only supposed to happen to your timeline and starmap.

Important distinction is that those ARE gospel.

Now watch the proliferation of 'Cameron slams Covenant' stories while excising anything positive he had to say.
I think it might have the opposite effect. People might be more receptive if the great creator of Aliens, Titanic and Avatar liked it. Group think.

Would like to be as hopeful as you're though, he mentioned something similar with Terminator Genysis and that didn't go well at all. However, let's see what happens from here.

I was going to point this out too. I vaguely remember some heat being directed at Cameron after Genysis came out due to his praise of the film.

Cameron also teased a 3D treatment of Aliens as being his next conversion! At about 5 minutes.

That comment about killing off a character was not so subtle. He is still sour over the demise of Hicks and Newt in Alien 3.  :laugh:

From the way he was talking about it, I almost feel like that may have been directed at the dark ending for Daniels rather than Shaw's fate.

Excellent. I'll buy my ticket, and the blu-ray, when it comes out.

Wish they can convert older movies in 4dx. Don't like going to 3d movies anymore but watched Kong in 4dx and loved every minute of it. Imagine Aliens in 4dx and how cool it would be.

I think the Terminator: Genisys praise was mainly his way of supporting Arnold in the film, which is completely understandable.

That would be interesting if he was referring to Daniels. I didn't think of that because I assumed we don't exactly know what is going to happen to her.

I saw that. Talk about taking a quote and twisting it. That's the thing I hate about these websites, sensationalizing to get clicks.

yeah, i am making my own avp comic - 500 pages almost  - AC and future titles allready had me concerned before the release of AC and it has only proved itself to be a waste of money and time - it is visualy goodlooking, some of the action is cool but makes no sense - AC is the worst example of science fiction ever - What characters do you mean Cameron ? their hardly are any characters in the movie - they all die because of cheer and utter stupidity ,skipping on the coincidences of the spaceship needing a recharge wich coincides with a "neutron" blast wich should be easely detectable btw , and the captain dying because of it, and the ship needing repairs - just when a message from the prometheus reaches one of the workers helmet ( instead of the big ass Covenant ship itself ) the characters change course because a christian moron is made captain. - all of them trained , somehow disregard their helmets all together when landing on a planet that has FREAKING LIVE ON IT ! complex enough to have a biodome of plants... so obviously has pathogens, microbes, germs, microscopic live unknow to mankind. , they proceed to remain blatantly unaware as the move throughout the surface of the world - ofcourse getting infected by some black gue pathogen to small to see - Instantly characters ( with no name, because, who are they ??? ) just die , left and right - what is even less believable is when the first neomorph is born - it is super thin, its leg and arm bones look to be about the width of fire matches - the fullgrown woman gave the super fragile looking neomorph a firm kick with a big ass boot, sending it flying - wich should have broken the neomorphs body in a hundred places.  2 times a person falls over blood - the neomorph, slightly larger gets shot several times in the field scene - suffering not so much as a scratch... it must be made of Ademantium like wolverine... later they follow David robot ( worst angle in the movie is David ) cross an open graveyard of thousands of dead , infected corpses... - when the neomorph returns, being an adult mind you --- it INSTANTLY DIE'S DUE TO A FEW SHOTS FIRED BY THE CAPTAIN - this is absurd illogic at its best... smaller animals are more fragile then their adult form... otherwise, why grow up ??? - anyways David somehow is father to the jesus Alien wich is really really bad writting... because somehow in the big space of the universe - Mankind is the origin point of a creature wich is also the movie name - ALIEN - if human engineers build the black gue - and then a human android from earth made the alien - it is no longer an Alien being - it is a human creation... this is a kick in the ass - Luckely i am smart enough to convince myself from seeing these movies as being even remotely connected to Alien 1979. - blindly trusting that Walter managed to kill David ( wich by all means should have been the case , as Walter sais, there have been some upgrades since David's time - and david having his head detached and reattached and then 10 years of exposure to the enviroment, David should have been far weaker then Walter and no he shouldnt be able to convice Walter to let him take his place - Walter has no freedom like David has, + is in love with Daniels -) somehow David manages to pretend to be Walter - take his not aliens aboard.they get killed because twice these aliens jump with such force into iron spikes, cranes. impaling themselves - David then remaining awake whilst the survivors go to hyper sleep - puts is not alien embryonics in some storage machine... the stinking end - a movie that is one big flaw to begin with - filled with many , annoying, hard to stomache and relate to flaws from start to finish... anyone that likes this , is a shallow minded person that just as easely is amazed by looking a turd lay on the sidewalk... and stepping in it, and being greatfull that that has occured... - Prometheus, Alien Covenant are digusting movies , absolutely horrid and nothing else...

"It's not a film that I would have made. I don't like films where you invest in a character and they get destroyed at the end. I would not have made that film."

You guys don't see the irony here, right? T2, anyone? The T-800?

Didn't catch that. Good point.

Yes, lol, some irony does register. However, for the cohesiveness of T2, the destruction of the T-800 was a necessary plot element (since every trace of Skynet had to be erased from existence—well at least in this timeline).
