I did not know Fox had prescribed "stages" for each of the shorts, so that they fitted into an over all arc.They haven't as far as I know. What I meant was - it's the scene in the shuttle in Alien, or on the Sulaco in Aliens or on the Betty in Resurrection. Stuff has gone down on the ship we see breaking up and the film is what happens when the characters think they've escaped.

Apparently this was Tongal's biggest competition. It's great to know Alien's pulling power is still there.

I've yet to be impressed with any of these. Its pretty obvious that we will not seen much of the creatures in any of these. Either for legal or budgetary reasons. Which makes these even less appealing to me.

I've yet to be impressed with any of these. Completely disagree. Containment does feel a little like that, but the rest, no. That said, they are supposed to evoke the Alien sensation and I think they're doing great.People also have to remember these things were made with $35,000 and aren't exactly big screen productions. Personally, aside from the one, I've been really enjoying these Shorts and they've made so much with so little.
HuDaFuKApr 25, 2019, 07:45:09 AM Reply #134 on: Apr 25, 2019, 07:45:09 AM Quote Yeah, I feel like some people need to bear in mind what these productions had to work with.A tiny budget and amateur crew don't forgive all their faults, but I'm gonna give them a lot more credit than if these were coming from a proper film studio. Considering what little they had to work with all of these have impressed me in one way or another. And Specimen and Ore have been downright remarkable.
