Space Travel Part 1 Featurette

[Xenomorphine]

"It's not like any other spaceship I've seen."

...except for that airlock vestibule that looks just like the one out of Alien.

...oh and the bridge which looks like a Cobb design for the Nostromo....

Yeah... Pretty sure having the ventral glass module is a deliberate nod to the area Ash was seated in when Dallas/Kane/Lambert went on their adventure.

Surprised nobody on the documentary mentioned how the engine pods were deliberate smaller copies of the Sulaco's aft section.

I guess Arthur Max has never seen Serenity.

Those wide shots are sexy though.

Haha, indeed. Serenity on steroids, with two extra engine-things.

Wonder where the twisty turny engine thing came from...

Huh. Not gonna lie, even with it being Whedon, I never really put two and two together. I think Serenity and Prometheus are nicer looking ships, though.

Kind of off topic, but having just watched Alien Resurrection again yesterday for the first time in years, I now get what people mean when they say that the characters seem like precursors to the Firefly characters. I found the characters in Firefly to be more likable, though.

Is anybody else finding it pretty damn bitter sweet watching this after today's reviews?

I found it to be rather uplifting, to be honest. Watching this, all that was going through my mind was "what was going through those guys' heads"?

I mean, just looking at the quality of this video, and the trailers, and especially the virals, I just find myself having a hard time understanding some of the negative reviews.

I have to agree with you. It's just....so bizarre! I watch this footage and I'm really impressed with what's being presented. It's quite clear that the cast and crew really did give a shit about this movie. I'm not heading over to the other thread any time soon to have the whole film revealed to me so I can't comment on the story.

In Lindelof I trust

I was thinking about the insect shape, but yeah, that's definitely where it started.

It goes beyond Firefly and Resurrection.

I was just reading an article in 'Sci Fi Now' magazine, which is a new interview with Whedon talking about 'Alien Resurrection'.

Still blames all the flaws on wrong casting, set design, editing and so on.

[SM]

Sooky hack.

[JayHy17]

God damn thats awesome!

[ThisBethesdaSea]

That shit story of ALIEN Resurrection (along with the hiring of Jeunet as the director) is solely to blame for that abomination of a movie.

Hmm, I spotted this two days ago but I figured that it had already been reported upon.  I never get to break the news!

There's also this...

... can I finally be credited for a find?!

NOPE! It's been posted before.

I don't remember where, but I've seen it here before.


Ah, screw it. Eddie gets credit.

Aww, damn it!  I wish that I'd posted the original video two days ago.  I suck!

[Prime113]

Well, that was pretty awesome!

I need to stop watching these. My excitement is going to explode!
