Sorry to be so cryptic but I can't go into more. It's something I know bothered HuDa and I imagine it's something that'll really bother a lot of you.Hmmm my mind is racing with whacked out ideas of what you mean. Aliens driving space cars?Im more concerned with Ridleys "dont let it breathe" choppy editing though.

This is Ridley chopping his film up like he did Prometheus. And the way the Alien's are handled...I wouldn't say it ruined the film for me but I'm surprised I didn't smash my face in with some facepalms. That's all I'll say until Saturday/Sunday when I can post my full review.How they are handled in terms of lore/origins or do you mean fx etc?Not just their origins. It's like Ridley or Logan or Dante or whoever forgot to go and rewatch Alien.Thats surely by design, Ridley doesn't repeat himself

Quote from: cucuchu on May 04, 2017, 11:20:20 PMCould this be written off as these Xenomorphs are not the same as the original big chap? As stated by Ridley himself in interviews that we are not quite there yet to where they are truly unhinged?
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on May 04, 2017, 10:53:36 PMRightio - I liked it, I didn't love it. It was a better experience than Prometheus (and the AvPs and Resurrection) but it wasn't pretending to be some lofty film. I loved the characters and the cast. Fassbender still rocks - as David and Walter. The film looks gorgeous as expected.However, it's brisk as f**k. This is Ridley chopping his film up like he did Prometheus.

Which is always annoying. Not saying it will ruin the movie, but still that stuff just grates me.

This is likely Scott filling in the blanks in ways some fans don't like.
