It is a shame, though, how right at the end of the film we get that really unconvincing shot of the Alien in space.

No, they looked like living creatures, with a distinct biomechanical feel. Couple that up with the great lighting that they used in the film, and it was a seamless effect.

The actual design of the suit? Okay, here you go, but I warn you, it is nauseating:

yes, i perfer this to AvP's.  And two thoughts of "man in suit" come to mind in the originals.  In ALIEN when dallas is killed/captured it is painfully obvious that a guy that just reaches his arms out.  In ALIENS, when the marines are first entcountering the aliens, it is obvious that a person in a suit is wire-lifted from a wall and grasps ahold of whoever the marine was..

I loved the Dallas "jazz-hands" capture! That was one of the most tense and scary moments in the film, and for me that was not a bad shot at all. As for the Aliens bit, it's been a while since I saw that, so I can't comment.

It is a shame, but the rest of the film more than made up for that.

Indeed. Oh, and -

JESUS CHRIST DON'T DO THAT TO ME I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS AN ALIEN IN THAT SPOILER.

*Curls up in a ball in the corner and mutters to himself*

...Of course, after that I read the caption and lol'd.

[SpaceMarines]

I'm sorry. Sometimes TJ can be so insensitive.

[Drago-Morph]

I prefer the AvPR design.

Personally, I feel it was truer to the concept of the Alien creature. Where AvP depicted them as slender - if horrific - avatars of death, AvPR got it right. Their sheer bulk and infantile physical attributes were perfect.

Let's be honest; Giger and Scott were nutjobs to make the Alien as it was. Psychosexuality? Disgusting. Strength and resilience? No-one wants to watch something where the villain might actually win. Intelligence? Not necessary for a drone under the express psychic command of a Queen.

On that topic, the Queen really should've been in Alien. Scott was a complete retard for leaving it out. After all, how cool is the Queen, aight?

Never, ever do this again. I just got back from the hospital.

My brain had lit itself on fire.

Shit man think i just soiled my fing pants!!!! *takes deep breath*

[SpaceMarines]

But all it wants is a hug!

[superdeathpredator]

It was funny when I first saw that part I jumped but then I knew he just wanted to give Dallas a hug

The stiff Alien that flys after Wolf punches onto the hospital roof in AVPR was probably a homage to Alien.

Anyone?

[DoomRulz]

Nah, at least that Alien's tail bent and its arms curved back a little. Kane's Son went totally stiff as a board.

[XenoVC]

But that does not solve the fact that Alien is from 1979, AvPR instead is from 2007. 28 freakin'years of improvement, for what?
