Indeed, I certainly thought so.

Yeah, there's simply no way that Requiem is better than Resurrection.

For starters, Resurrection is competently lit so that you can see what's happening. Requiem can't even succeed at being visible.

Resurrection was my very first Alien movie I've seen at cinema. I was 14-years-old and I enjoyed it big time. Is it good as its three predecessors? Hell NO! But it's still well-made sci-fi action movie. Is it good as Alien movie? It's different than others for sure. I'm big fan of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's cinematic style (The City of Lost Children, Amelie and Micmacs) and for that reason I don't take this movie too seriously.

Comparing this movie to AvPR is an utter heresy :) As a movie itself it's just better on every lever.

Resurrection's got amazing visuals (Darius Khondji), art/production design is superb and score is pretty decent. Chemists between characters is well-performed. It's grotesque Alien movie with dark/slapstick humour that adds to its peculiar nature. What's wrong about that?

Ingwar is totally correct.

Local Trouble

The Predator > AR

It's on a par with Alien 3.

It's certainly ripe for their particular brand of bad faith lazy hackery.


Sometimes you wake up, groggily roll onto the forum, and realize it's one of those days you're gunna spend vigorously agreeing with SM.

It's probably not including the AC of course.

I'm still not sure which one of those will be my least favorite movie in the series.

A3 TC = AR > A3 AC?

A day to be vigorously wrong then, on the first one- right on the last one.

Any version of A3 is better than AR.

Still Collating...

You trying to start a fight? :laugh:

I think I forgot to mention that A:R has a great score. Love the score for the opening especially.

The A3 that exists in our heads is a brilliant film.

The one that exists on the actual discs is a bit less so. The elements are there, but not the "whole" as far as the idealised version.
