FOX held limited previews few hours ago. Audience said no Alienhttps://twitter.com/weier1231997/status/872103456533774336Chinese test audience says no Alien. Does this mean Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof and Tom Rothman get to have their "I told you so!" moment at Fox? For Ridley, this must be an especially bitter "I told you so" moment. The most populous country in the world doesn't want the alien at all. Fox really effed this up.I wonder if this movie is better with seven minutes of leaping CGI lizards chopped out. More like the original film, no doubt.It wasn't the preview audience who wanted "NO ALIEN!" It's probably China's censors who cut it out.Nice try though. Read the post I was responding to. "Test audience" said "no alien", not censors. Plain as day.

Quote from: Protozoid on Jun 06, 2017, 06:06:40 PMAh, I misunderstood. Will be interesting to see reviews and box office fro China to see how they like it. Of it does huge business in China with the Aliens cut out but tanked just about everywhere else, that is also an interesting indicator.
Quote from: juxtapose on Jun 06, 2017, 06:15:03 PM. .i have never seen an alien movie with well developed characters. . . .theirs no time for in a 2 hour action horror .nobody really f**king cares. .yes maybe for the main character. . I watch an alien movie i want action and gore. .character development is of slightly less importance. .their was plenty of character development in covenant. .more than i even cared for. .they gonna get killed in any way. .so who cares. .did the crew of alien have any character development. .did anyone want a flashback scene of ripley running around on a farm and her daddy buying her a pony. .f**k no!

I haven't seen the Chinese cut but I can't imagine its coherent at all. If it succeeds I don't know what that really tells you.

It would be interesting to see the "no/less-Xeno" version.Quote from: Jonesy1974 on Jun 06, 2017, 06:57:14 PMQuote from: Robopadna on Jun 06, 2017, 06:08:37 PMQuote from: Protozoid on Jun 06, 2017, 06:06:40 PMAh, I misunderstood.

According to some reviews, the Neomorph got more scenes than Xenomorph. I think someone said there is only about 10+ seconds of Xenomorph's appearance and none of them includes a full-body shot. On the bright side, maybe this will make Xeno mysterious again lol.
