Poll: AvP vs AvPR

[Puks]

No-one. The regions currently coated in ice were lush when the pyramids were built, as the film makes clear.

So the pyramids were built in the mesozoic?

No one else noticed how retarded that statement was? Sure, Antarctica was lush, but it was tens of millions of years ago.

[MadassAlex]

That's the movie's justification, not mine.

[Puks]

I never said it was yours.

[Eidotemit]

Yeah, it was a really bad excuse. People have called it out before.

As far as things to bash the movie about, though, that is not at the top of my list.

And tens of millions of years ago, Antarctica was indeed lush and devoid of ice. Dinosaurs used to live there.

[Corporal Hicks]

Not quite sure you got his point, Doom. 

[DoomRulz]

You're right, I didn't. He said "Mesozoic" which was completely off, because humans didn't live back then. I don't remember Sebastian ever mentioning Mesozoic.

[Eidotemit]

He didn't but it was devoid of ice them. Anytime during human civilization and city building, it was covered with ice though. 

Just a bit of artistic license.

There was a deleted scene that didn't make it onto the DVD (I wonder why?) where whatshisface continues to translate the glyphics and reveals that the predators actually created all the ice in that region to bury the pyramid once things got out of control. It's basically Alien 3 all over again, Anderson wrote an intelligent script and Fox butchered the film to hell. See also: Event Horizon.

Hm. Yes, I'm sure the global climate shifts had nothing to do with it. Must've been the Predators!

Don't like that idea.

Anderson wrote an intelligent script

Sorry, but the idea of predators teaching humans to build pyramids in freakin Antarctica does not seem intelligent to me.

[SM]

There was barely anything intelligent in Anderson's script.  Fox doesn't write scripts, so-called screen writers do, and there is nothing that could be reinserted into that script that Fox may have cut, that would suddenly make it intelligent.

I give Anderson credit for writing his own stuff...but that is all the credit he is getting from me.  That and the Queen vs Pred at the end was awesome....but that is it...I swear!

[Xenokiller]

I like the action in AVPR better but AVP is a better movie

Where'd you get that from? It's not in the novel or the script, or mentioned in any of the DVD special features.

Anderson didn't write Event Horizon.
