That's mortifying, jesus!

Huntsman

I don't think any fan is going to say they were completely satisfied or it's the film they wanted.

The Cruentus

It certainly better than it sequel and some have liked it better than the prequels, at least the first prequel. It doesn't help that Scott made the same mistakes that both AVPS did, screwing with the lore and the lifecycle.

AVP=fast alien lifecycle.
Alien covenent - Ultra fast lifecycle.
AVPR - added a new reproduction method that would render previous one obsolete.
Prometheus/Alien Covenent added a biological weapon that would render Alien one obsolete. Also huggers can implant instantly without need of rendering someone comatose, thus making previous iterations obsolete.

No! Prefer unrated.

Not a fan of this film at all, or usually this channel, but I find this absolutely fascinating.

Why does it take 5 f**king minutes to get to the point Jesus Christ I hate people trying to game the revenue system.

Corporal Hicks

You gotta get those intros in! What's the verdict, was it better? I'm still not able to really watch his videos - after the whole thing here with Xenopedia.

SiL

It's just different. Some marginally better framing that shows more details that are nice but not crucial in some shots.

MaineXeno

Oh god I don't need flashbacks to that absolutely pointless drama lol

Gave me a major itch to rewatch the movie

City Hunter Yautja

I must say AVP feels more Gigeresque than AVPR, it does a fair job of adding the terror of the facehugger and chestburster back into the Xenoverse.

I must say I disagree.

And yet the full quote is pretty fine. It's a low bar to clear.

oduodu

cameron is on record saying he thinks avp is the 3rd best movie in the alien franchise.

i wonder if he feels the same today.

He also said T Genisys was 'the real T3' so I wouldnt put too much stock into that.

He has also praised Alien 3 in the past but will likely always have a biased hate towards it for what it did to his characters.
