Quote from: Mike's Monsters on Today at 01:52:43 AMLoved it. Made me a sobbing mess in the theater. Some things hit me in ways I was not expecting and opened the flood gates. I'm glad I went in knowing it wasn't what people expected, it let me watch with a completely open mind. Absolutely beautiful film visually and with what it is saying. That ending has me so curious for what's next.
Quote from: SiL on Today at 09:31:23 AMYou do? Because I don't hear no exploding sound. I remember Big Chap floating away (in a repeating fashion) after being blown out of the engines.Quote from: Xenotaris on Today at 09:08:54 AMI mean we never saw Big Chap actually die... It's still a victory for Ripley since she survived the whole ordeal.It was blown out the engine and you hear it explode.

Quote from: Olde on Today at 08:46:17 AMYou can say a lot of negative things about Res. It's schlocky, it's campy, it's derivative, it's predictable, it's by-the-numbers, it's contrived, it's action-y, it's not horror, etc. Fine. That being said, I can describe Romulus in one word: shameless. For all its faults, I never thought Resurrection was outright shameless (maybe the panning shot of Kim Flowers' butt, however I can abide that).
In this case we're comparing a mediocre movie (Res) to a movie that borders on being outright offensive if you have respect for the series up to that point, in its ruining Ripley's triumph at the end of Alien, in its f**king up of the timeline, and its choice to substitute ripping off the original films instead of adding new content. And it doesn't really matter if some of the setpieces or aesthetic or effects or visuals are "better" in the latter when the movie as a whole is an eye-rollfest of easily avoided mistakes.
