AvPR vs A:R

[Gazz]

I can't believe I once thought either AvP film better than A:R. I still dislike the latter film but it at least holds some level of artistic merit and depth.

[SpaceMarines]

Jeunet's touch alone makes it at least interesting.

[Corporal Hicks]

He just wasn't suitable for the franchise. Neither was Whedon.

[DoomRulz]

Yeah, as toilet paper AvPR's far better.

*inhales*

Pssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[SpaceMarines]

He just wasn't suitable for the franchise. Neither was Whedon.

Agreed. But there were memorable and well-done shots and moments from the film that weren't just ripoffs and rehashes of what came before.

[Corporal Hicks]

Can't disagree with you at all. AvPR was a "best-of" but badly done video compilation that belonged on YouTube.

[Dark Blade1]

A;R i like that one more it had more action in it.

[Chris!(($$))!]

AvPR: It has.... It has.... the PredAlien? No because even the quality of the PredXeno can be debated.

AR: It has a great cast, good art style, decent cinematography, and some themes I think Giger would be somewhat proud of.

AR no doubt. Now AvP vs AR. That might be a closer battle. Or AR vs PREDATORS.

[The Shuriken]

So AVPR is on the syfy channel today. I used my aunts vizio smart TV to raise the brightness to max. It...actually worked a little. Could actually see stuff clearly.

I dont think you can blame the studios in this,
if you would read AVP:R as a script it would be good to read.
The execution of the movie is just bad and misses every lack of realness and grittyness the Predator and Alien series had.
I still think the future of both these franchises are in the AVP world.

As others have said, Resurrection may have been a bad Alien movie, but it was at least interesting, competently made, contained some nice imagery, and even has a few moments of genuine greatness. Plus Siggy is just superb in it.

AVP:R is a train wreck. It's not just the worst film featuring the Alien, it's one of the worst films I've ever seen, period. To produce a piece of crap like that for such a big-name franchise just beggars belief.

Oh yeah, you could also see what was happening in Resurrection.

if you would read AVP:R as a script it would be good to read.

I seriously doubt that. The dialogue and characterisation is just appallingly bad.

[Corporal Hicks]

The earlier version of the AvPR script that is available is just...it's worse than the finished film. *shudders*

What were the differences of said script and final version?

[Corporal Hicks]

Same basic story but lots of differences inside it. It's in our downloads section. Give it a read if you're curious.

I will hold my breath close my eyes open then read slowly.
