okay i just saw this and uh... it was great???? people were having conniptions about the "craft" and "story" or whatever? good god people! this is a movie featuring not one but two heads in a bag! it's got tummy staples! cranky astro staff on an alien planet in an electrical storm touching goo they shouldn't! faces being melted off! inexplicable parental nicknames! it's an ALIEN movie through and through!

i don't really understand the black liquid, what the deal was there.. i guess idris was right, some sort of bioweapon gone wrong? in that respect i was really "there" with the characters i.e. wtf is this shit, let's get out of here
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 11 October 2012 23:49 (eleven years ago) link
honestly the way you guys talked about this movie i thought it was going to be full of long speeches about the meaning of life but about 90% of it is staggering bleeding through hallways and not knowing why, which is what alien movies are all about wth is wrong with you guys

alien movies are about blue collar stiffs getting thwarted in their attempts to cash a paycheck by a scary monster, but ultimately their employer, the scariest monster of all.

idk tracer g'luck to you if the characters brought you 'there' with them, but i think you're a looot brighter than most of the morons that get splatted in this pos, and the continued stupidity of these clown left most everyone else cold

some were perhaps a bit cocky it's true
god i loved it when they finally reach the live engineer, they're speaking with an actual alien intelligence for the first time (though it's actually david who speaks to him! humans too DUMM), this religious moment when mr weyland hoping it'll be like the virgin mary sprinkling holy water on his tired bones and he'll spring up like lazarus, and the abortionee lady hoping he'll reveal something of his race's intentions on earth... and he just starts WRECKIN SHOP. woops, you're in an alien movie, i guess you forgot!

i feel like that scene would have been much improved by the addition of Samuel L Jackson and replacing the engineer with a shark of some kind.

This is probably the best sci-fi movie I've seen in awhile, better than the one about moon rocks or blowing up the sun. It inspired me to go back and watch Aliens again too.
― JacobSanders, Friday, 12 October 2012 05:11 (eleven years ago) link
Being inspired to watch Aliens is always a good thing. But this was a bad, bad (frequently gorgeous-looking), bad movie.

I'm not convinced by this film, though I lean towards the pro, but I still really really want the 3D Blu-Ray.

also: the moment when you realize she's the last one left alive on this godforsaken planet, i really felt the horror of it, the aloneness. and then she realizes that vickers' self-contained luxury suite might still be in working order, makes her way over to it, scrambles up into the airlock with seconds to go, seals the door, grabs a bunch of oxygen, looks around, into the swaying, busted interior and..... grabs an axe. i was like BO BO BO BO BO REEEEEEEEEEEE-WIND

If I ever watch this again I'm going to play a drinking game, I'll take a shot every time I want to shout at the screen "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS". Think I'll be dead within an hour.

Hot hints for the sequel:
I hadn't done sci-fi for so long and I enjoyed doing it. Plus, when it comes to the Alien world, no one else had addressed the origin question and I thought that was interesting to tackle. Prometheus evolved into a whole other universe. You've got a person [Noomi Rapace's Elizabeth Shaw] with a head in a bag [ Michael Fassbender's David] that functions and has an IQ of 350. It can explain to her how to put the head back on the body and she's gonna think about that long and hard because, once the head is back on his body, he's dangerous.So that's the sequel?[Laughs] I wish it was that easy. They're going off to paradise but it could be the most savage, horrible place. Who are the Engineers?

Also, file under "this fuckin' guy":
Ridley Scott also briefly confirms that he is indeed still working on the sequel to Blade Runner, specifically whether the movie will bring back its original star — who, just so you know, is definitely a replicant now:It's not a rumour – it's happening. With Harrison Ford? I don't know yet. Is he too old? Well, he was a Nexus-6 so we don't know how long he can live [laughs]. And that's all I'm going to say at this stage.
