Poll: AvP vs AvPR

[SM]

There is a look that I can't put my finger on with some Anderson film sets that scream 'fake'.

[BigDaddyJohn]

AvP is disgustingly mediocre in all regards.

Disagree. The sets, their design and most importantly cinematography are really good. And huge credit for an actual buildup. It was always surprising to me that anyone would choose AVP:R over the first one but I guess we're all very different people. Also, while I wont deny the quality of the films are cartoony (AVP) or amateurish (AVPR), I think the credit should be given where its due, and AVP has some really good cinematography and shots

Sets and cinematography are at the service of good story and interesting characters, two things AVP don't have. Besides that, it's a PG movie with alien and predator in it, absolute disgrace. Terrible movie overall.

Gunnison, Colorado is so much better, yeah ?

Nah, I prefer Chigusa Corp space ranches.

Well, yes, Obviously

They're over-designed to look cool.

The Lewis and Clarke from Event Horizon is great, but the Event Horizon herself looks like a set. Nothing about the interior looks like something anyone would actually design as a spaceship, but Anderson wanted gothic arches and spinning blade corridors so here we are.

but Anderson wanted gothic arches and spinning blade corridors

Should'a just done warhammer.

I never got that fake feeling from EH despite the fact it makes zero sense.

I was thinking more Resident Evil and The Three Musketeers.

[SiL]

Ironically Resident Evil used a lot of real locations (the first one anyway) so I can't help there.

Still at least AVP has some great shots, and if no one likes it at least the fact remains it does have grand cinematic visuals, giving the movie a sense of scale. Story quality of course is something to debate on but the movie sure looks like a big cinematic picture, as oppose to the cheap, unartistic feel and look to the B horror story of the second one

It is totally above AVPR on a technical level, no doubt about it.

[Voodoo Magic]

Yeah, but does AvP have egg barfing?



AvPR for the win!

[Kradan]

You're saying like it's a good thing

[Voodoo Magic]

[BigDaddyJohn]

IMO

Technical level : AVP > AVPR

Plot & characters : AVP = AVPR

Overall fun : AVPR > AVP

As much as I dislike Requiem, final showdown between Chet and Wolf was cool

From what we COULD actually see from it, yes indeed
