I told you its 86 minutes, 94 if you count the credits.

I saw a website that listed it and 1hr 26 mins, but it dont matter to me, as long as its worth that hour and 26 mins

I think the running time will do just fine. The pace of the movie is fast so the film should move at a break neck pace.

Not a good sign. Movies tend to be short if there arent any decent plot idea's to explore.
Title: Re: Runtime: 86 minutes!
Post by: echobbase79 on Dec 19, 2007, 11:00:46 PM

The plot is simple: Wolf comes to clean up an alien mess.

The human characters are beside the point really. Even though I wish it weren't so.

You could argue that Predator 1 wasnt much more, but it was done very well and ran 107 minutes.

Ive been reading about members' not happy with the length time.. what the hell is up with the running time??...If its too long, ppl will get sick of it... ::)

What length do you want it at??...3 hrs??..I know I would never ever sit through a 2 or 3 hour film... ::)

Bloody hell ...complainers!  ::)

I think it's fine. It's a Movie about a Predator cleaning out the town, and survivors trying to get the hell out of there. They'll be constantly on the move, no time to sit down and share some quality time with each other.

You cant manage 120 minutes? WTF is with this generation. The only reason anyone would complain about it being too long is if it was all crap.

This generation? I wouldn't neccesarily say it's a generation thing, infact movies these days tend to be longer as a whole than movies a decade or more ago were. Most movies these days break 1 hour and 45 minutes if I'm not mistaken. Running times like that decades ago were rare. Of course I give that up to the fact that making a movie has become slightly easier to do with the advances in technology, so they can afford to make it longer and quicker than they used to. But either way, people go to the movies all the time and sit through 2 hour movies.

The running time isn't so much the problem as it is the fact that in every clip I've seen it feels like it's rushing itself. If it was a 1:30 film with good pacing, my fears would be gone. But this looks like The Last Stand all over again.

It feels rushed because Wolf's gotta get this done. There's no time for stopping and noticing the daisies here.

Problem is will there be enougn time to develop the humans, the plot and have a load of creature carnage?  With that running time, I think the film will be a little squashed.

The human characters have suffered in the editing room I'm afraid. Which is something I was hoping to get  more of but in 86 minutes that isn't going to happen. Character moments maybe, but not three dimensional characters that's for sure.
Title: Re: Runtime: 86 minutes!
Post by: Tender Branson on Dec 22, 2007, 09:43:22 PM
That's one of the things I hated the most about the movie. The running time. The pacing is really crazy and considering the fact almost every "interesting detail" has been already spoiled in the trailers and clips, the cinematic experience left me very unsatisfied.

its 94 minutes with credits. The actual movie is probably 86 minutes. Colin said that was the final running time with credits.

I think what's happened is the black girl and boy have been cut out because they didn't serve a purpose to the story. It seemed to me they were away from the main action anyway.

That's just a guess though. But they are cut out of the final cut.

That's what I am thinking too. We have seen absolutely no footage of them. And he is right, they do serve no purpose to the story, I've said that since day one. Doesn't surprise me they were cut.

Although I am sure the actors are pissed. :D

The black girl I think did a small interview with MTV a long ago. Isn't she kind of famous in the music world.

I also say they died in the car scene with the Alien.

Wasn't it too long for you to sit through?   You're missing out on some good films by imposing this 'nothing over 2 hours, ten minutes' routine.

no it wasnt too long...Aliens is only 154 mins...not much longer than AVPR...AND they werent Aliens versus Preds films..

154 minutes is 2 and a half hours.  That's over your 'limit' and an hour longer than AvPR.

but thats just my opinion... ;)

I can live with a runtime of 86 minutes. I do wish it were longer, but it's not the end of the world. And don't forget, the Bros shot some additional 6-8 Minutes just for the DVD release. So that boosts the runtime easily over 90 minutes even without credits.
