So the alien DNA made him smarter and got him un-lost. Makes perfect sense... :P

Took awhile for the pot to purge from his system. Plus ... who knows what type of newly forming senses he was experiencing. Perhaps a budding xenomorphic instinct.

I thought he resembled a hairy pizza with teeth, myself!  :D
Black goo pizza at the Engineer's!

Yep. Pretty much a burn victim with some cranial swelling ... and bad teeth.

Way too similar to something one would expect to see in The Lord of the Rings. I think a CGI rendered creature would have been much more criticised if it had appeared in the film.

Like the Trilobite and the Deacon (which did use animatronics but also used a lot of cgi), then?

Nightmare Asylum

Well, both were criticized (the Deacon in particular). :P

I personally really liked both, however. The Deacon especially.

Alien aggression + good old pot induced paranoia. I will watch the scene again with these things in mind...

Yes.

Sexy Poot

Very creepy. Very scary. Very unused and very pissed off.

NECA needs to make a toy of this. I'd also the various conceptual designs of all the critters see the light of day, but that's a pipe dream.

That's the Kothoga in your avatar, or Predator?

A triple human/xenomorph/predator cross from some mental AVP comics. The avatar's of the thing that spawns them.

Why could't they have used this Weta version, but done it with real prosthetics and less CGI? Then everybody is happy.

The reason the CGI version was cut anyhow - too much detachment from original Fifield, risking confusing the audience, etc.

Especially given how they eventually cut up the set piece in the end.

Surely a few shots of a tattered space suit could have fixed that. Maybe they could have left the damaged, melted helmet on him... All I know is that I would love to see this version.
