Poll: AvP vs AvPR

[fonzi]

I was suprised to see so many votes going to AvPR. I like all the movies,even AVPR,,well..its got the Predator fighting Aliens,,so thats always cool. But as a movie in general AVP was better.
AvPR just seemed a little too cheesy sometimes,not to mention the pointless human story bit.

I couldn't agree more.

AvP and AvP:R both have the same level of suck because both films had something the other one lacked.

[Predator King]

The only aspectss AVP lacked that AVP2 had was a spot on Predator design and a R rating. AVP2 lacked countless aspectss that AVP had. For example, cool lighting, long and well choreographed fights and acting. And that's just a few!

Cool lighting? What cool lighting?

the saturated blue filtering, reminiscent of the Aliens movie

Which is why the whole pyramid sequence was shot in gray, right?

It wasn't. They just heavily saturated the colors. The predominant color is royal blue thought, and its most evident during the outside scenes

I didn't see any blue in that entire movie. My feeling was that the entire pyramid sequence could've been shot in black and white and it wouldn't have made a difference. The only colour variation I really remember was the red lighting in the Queen's chamber.

Perhaps maybe because the colors were desaturated a bit too much, although fine for my tastes. The blue is most visible outside, like I said. Its that desaturated royal blue, beautiful looking filtering if you ask me. Love it since I a huge James Cameron fan and he always uses the blue/green filters on his movies. It gives it that great otherwordly look

And here's a regular, untouched coloring from avpR for example

Just one of the many reasons Requiem looks so cheap. ^

requiem actually was cheap. It was made in canada, but its not much cheaper there than in US, and $40 mill in US or canada for a scifi movie is very low. The first one was done for $60 but in Czech Republic, done for 1/3 of the US price, so the movie is actually done like it had a ~$150 mill budget.  Thats why it feels so big and poor avpR suffers in comparison and seems like a low budget straight to DVD flick

AvP looks a lot more expensive than it actually is. That was one of Andersons goals and I think he pulled it off really well. AvPR looks even cheaper than it actually is because the movies visual style is non existent. Even if the colour grading wasn't so murky, it would still look cheap ass.

[Hyperdyne]

well, thats probably due to the fact that it was someone's very first movie

[War Wager]

Er... Alien3... Finchers first feature?
