They were amazing back in the day, but the creature effects of Alien: Resurrection (Minus the Egg), and the first AVP movie honestly felt very underwhelming. Dont get me wrong I like the guys a lot, and you can tell Woodruff Jr really cares about the franchises.
I hope to see better creature effects from them in The Predator. Your effects in Alien 3 were extremely well done.
Broken record mode, activate! I still think they get way too much stick for the stuff we didn't like from Resurrection and the AvPs. There's so much going off that effects them. They follow director mandates with their design explorations (and Resurrection had story reasons for the Aliens to be bastardised). All that slime was down to the the DoP. In AvP, it was cost related for the reuse of the Resurrection moulds (not their fault). I wasn't a fan of the teeth of their Alien head in Requiem (damn overbite!!) but again, they had only the money to redo the heads.
The Predators in AvP looks fake because of the lack of moisture - again the director. Granted, that silicon (?) doesn't look the greatest so hopefully they explore other materials for The Predator.
To be perfectly honest though, I would have been happy with Legacy, ADI or KNB. Hopefully ADI will be able to work well with Black and get a cracking new design. I'm sure he wont have the mentality that the Predators can't look wet.
Just need to get Ian Whyte on board now. Apparently he said he was at a convention but when I spoke to him about it he said it wasn't true so who knows!
