Good template? Not in the slightest. It's just AVP 2004 in space...
Also I hope after Demonic you are not seriously still holding out hope for more half baked Neill Blomkamp ideas.
Yup. I didn't like the ALIENS fan boy A5 premise to begin with, but I had to admit that some of the concepts presented looked alluring. The storyline seemed to be all over the place and there were some truly silly stuff tossed in there (the mech Queen suit for example), but I could see something fun and exciting materializing out of it if Blomkamp were to be surrounded by the right kind of people, as he's indeed a VERY flawed director.
Then I started watching DEMONIC, and oh boy - what a crap fest of a movie. Conceptually cool of course, like all of his stuff, but the actual movie is a total reeker. Yikes!
So yeah, I'm truly happy he didn't get to turn his A5 idea into an actual movie. I don't even think the Cameron fans would've been happy about it, even with Hicks (and Newt) being brought back from the dead to fight W-Y alongside Ripley. Even so, I have a hunch that this project will be revived at some point, or we'll see aspects from the project presented in future movies and media. Or like some people suggested: A novel or comic book adaptation of the script.
