Nguyen Dong Shares Alien Earth Trailer Key Frames

[BigDaddyJohn]

Same for me, I never got the differences between Remus and Romulus.

[BlueMarsalis79]

It's because Aliens largely looks like a stripped back take on Alien, when it's not looking like an eighties factory or a shopping mall, even Alien³'s comparable visually if distinct, considering what they did with the story I think they should have married Alien and Prometheus visually instead.

[Neila]

that is my biggest objection to such films that are supposed to show backstories but suddenly have much better equipment than what comes later.

Scott simply didn't care and of course wanted to offer something new.

Fede kindly tried to explain it by saying that the equipment from Prometheus is used directly by Weyland and his expedition, while the Nostromo crew only represents the small working class.

The Prometheus is Weyland's flagship, so to speak, while the Nostromo is just a small tow truck.

But that still doesn't really fit together for me.

It makes no sense for a company to deliberately equip its workers with inferior equipment.

That would automatically mean a certain inefficiency for the company.

It didn't really work for me in the Star Wars prequels either, and even then it could have been excused by saying that after the Clone Wars everything was in the trash and they had to reinvent themselves again.

Romulus did a very good job and I felt like I was back in the familiar alien world.

It's nice to see that Alien Earth is going in the same direction,
but I'm afraid there will be problems with the plot.

Only for the Weyland-Yutani stuff. Apparently Prodigy, which is going to be a much bigger focus, is going to have a totally different aesthetic.

Yes, I'm curious to see how this fits into the story.

I feel like aesthetically, Prodigy Corp is going to be 'Apple' to Weyland Yutani's 'BP/Shell'.

Same I didn't even know there was a difference.

What superior equipment on a tug where the crew spends most of their time asleep would have helped the Nostromo crew?

That would be cool. I look at this stuff and I just think ( no disrespect to the Artist), you've kind of just carbon copied what's already been done before, but I mean maybe that's the instruction. That could be any sketch from any Alien related product.

It would be cool to see the aesthetic used in a different setting, like what does the Bar where they sit after having a beer after work look like, what are they mining and how does it get shipped etc.

I thought that was the best bit about Romulus, the first half hour.

I've told my boss that very same thing on multiple occasions.

[SM]

Now wait on a sec.  Are you saying a Company that only has one operational evacuation vehicle that only has room for two of the seven crew members is inefficient?

People really don't appreciate this kind of thing until they experience them.

I absolutely believe a company would report to piss cheap crt screens 100 years in the future to save money.

I absolutely believe a company would report to piss cheap crt screens 100 years in the future to save money.

I like to think it's that combined with limits/rationing of rare earth metals and materials back home and the requirement for deep space travel to use as little power as possible. I know CRT screens use twice the amount of power of LCD... but a lot of other tech around the ships could be more analogue.

[SiL]

See, I don't think energy consumption is that big an issue when you're casually violating the laws of physics with your FTL engines.

Which leaves production cost, where CRT is the winner at the moment.
