Quote from: predxeno on Jan 09, 2011, 10:34:17 PMThe people in AVPR couldn't drive away; the roads were blocked. AVP didn't make any attempt to shock or scare the audience. AVPR had surprise attacks like when the Predalien impales Ricky and when an Alien attacks the chopper. AVP also didn't appear to make much use of darkness as we often see Aliens in very bright places where the fear factor is removed.

It combined elements and similar characters from both movies and had them duke it out with each other.It was the spiritual successor to neither. A more apt description would be every low-budget teen slasher flick ever made (films) covered in a thick paste of superficial references to the Alien (films) films and the Predator (films) films. AVP-R has more to do with Dinoshark vs Sharktopus (film) than Predator 2 (film).

Quote from: SpaceMarines on Jan 09, 2011, 10:39:05 PMY- You...Did you just say that AvP put the Aliens in a poor setting? Not the shit-film? The one where they were in Colorado?Bwa-
Quote from: StrangeShape on Jan 09, 2011, 11:06:58 PMThe roads were not blocked. The National Guards were dead. People had loads of guns and trucks and even tanks to go around. Cars, everything. An armed group of people in a car would made it just fine because its giant open space. And even if roads were blocked, its even better. Arrive at the blockade and youre safe with military around the perimeter. Not to mention that its an entire town, as we can see the character can walk freely most of the time because again, its such an open space. AVP is quieter, slower, actually has a buildup and a trapped group hundreds of miles away from any other human beings, trapped in a maze like rats with aliens running around
Quote from: predxeno on Jan 10, 2011, 01:34:40 AMI didn't say that AVPR had a better setting, in fact I think AVP had a better plot involving the pyramid in Antarctica. I'm just saying that I think AVPR had a more similar dark atmosphere that was observant in previous Alien films.

Quote from: Daken on Jan 10, 2011, 05:46:07 AMI recently bought the BluRay copy of AvP-R an the picture is not as dark as the DvD. It yet still has a dark picture because it is some what of a Horror movie.
Quote from: Ghostface on Jan 10, 2011, 05:53:50 AMI did read somewhere that the DVD copy was darkened.
