Finally seen Aliens on the Big Screen tonight and what a blast. I've now seen all alien movies on the big screen, other then Alien 3.
Alien: I seen Last year for the first time for its 4k release.
Aliens: for the first time tonight.
Alien 3: I was too young, think I was 13 at the time, I've still got to see this one on at the cinema.
Alien Res: I watched twice at the cinema I remember having mixed thoughts on it. First three quarters was ok, the final act fell to shit. But AR was my first Alien film I got to see at the cinema.
Prometheus: was the first movie I watched on the Imax. I was mostly impressed especially with the visuals. However It had its problems, I was looking forward for Prometheus 2.
Alien Covenant: I watched at the cinema, got to see it on a premier night. Was very disappointed.
Anyhow, I've seen Alien and Aliens hundreds of times on VHS,DVD, Blu-ray. Tonight I noticed a few different things when watching it for the first time on the big screen.
1. Drake has a good luck charm hanging from his smart gun.
2. When the first run in to Newt and Ripley crawls into Newts living space the Fan above Ripley's head gives out a sound that's less noticeable on the Blu-ray and DVD or maybe my TV is shit with sound.
3. This one I'm shocked I've never noticed. The 2nd drop ship has a Blue bug stomper logo were the first one has a red one. I always noticed the red one but somehow never noticed the blue one on the 2nd Drop ship.
4. When the marines first enter the Hive, it's been around 5 and Half hours since the mission start.
5. When the Queen first kicks off when Ripley uses the flamethrower u notice the metal frame inside her neck, when she first shakes her head. It only happens for a brief second, but now I've noticed it, I can not unsee it.
I'm sure the will be more that will pop to mind. But ya I really enjoyed it on the big screen.
