Comments on: An “Alien” Origin Movie In The Works? http://themovieblog.com/2009/05/an-alien-origin-movie-in-the-works The Official Home of Correct Movie Opinions Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:43:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Katy http://themovieblog.com/2009/05/an-alien-origin-movie-in-the-works#comment-274436 Katy Wed, 09 Feb 2011 22:04:58 +0000 http://themovieblog.com/?p=19910#comment-274436 I grew up watching the Alien movies (at like 9 yrs. old), and two Christmases ago I bought all four of them (Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, and Alien Resurrection). Every time I watch Alien I am always wondering questions like, How long and where did that huge ship come from? How did the Aliens came to be the perfect parasitic predator? and I have always wondered from one of the scenes what that big organic weapon like structure is when they are exploring the ship. Look close enough and it looks like there is some twisted human-like creature molded into it. Perhaps in a sequel that could be explained. I think I heard that the original guys who made the first Alien movie will make an Alien prequel. If they are really going to make a prequel then I think they are the best people for it because they pretty much started the franchise. There are some horrible prequels out there, but good prequels take the longest because the producers and directors think things through carefully so that nothing seems too dumb or lame. If there can be good sequels to an awesome movie, then there can be sequels. Who knows, perhaps it will be interesting to know the history of Aliens.

It is the human factor that drives the movie. Ok but, what language do the aliens speak and how do we follow the movie. It is the human factor that drives the movie.

I understand you guys and gals have opinions, but I thought the AVP movies were great. I am glad that they are making an alien only movie and a predator only movie. I think they ought to make a AvPvT(erminator) movie. think of the action sequences! far fetched , i know. anyway. An origin story, i dont know. a prequel, that'd be cool. any movie with the alien in it would kick ass. Some of you guys had mentioned Wolverine.... Hell, why not a Wolverine Vs Predator movie? Couldnt do a Wolverine vs Alien. It would be funny seeing a chestburster try to pop out through the adamantium. lol. (Bump...Bump. Hisssssssssssssssss. Bump. Bump.)

The origin of the Space Jockeys and who they are is there to be explored. However, it would be better if they were an essentially decent race and they had not any knowledge of humanity, no more than humankind had knowledge of their existence. Keep space vast and virtually empty because that is what separates these films from Startrek where aliens and spaceships galore are flitting around all over the shop. Remember the original catchphrase,'In space no one can here you scream'. What a superb idea. The origin of the Space Jockeys and who they are is there to be explored.

Besides, I think the action in Aliens is what made it more memorable, again, it had it's own unique identity and expanded the alien mythos farther than any film in the series.

I agree that that “Alien 3″ was a great way to end the series.

AR tried to not be Alien or Aliens and look what it gave us. Alien3 is a fitting end to the series. Ripley finds peace and it's believed that the alien species could very well be eliminated due to Ripley's sacrifice. I'm sorry if I implied you don't like Alien3 because it isn't like Aliens. I've often found that to be the main reason people don't like it. Alien3 to me demands more repeat viewing than Aliens. Aliens is typical 80's action overkill, Alien3 IMO is full of subjective and deep meanings. It was the first Alien movie I was able to see in theaters (I'm 27) so maybe I'm biased when it comes to 3.

Alien 3 didn’t establish it’s own identity unlike the first two movies. There’s a reason so few people even care for its existance. The most it added to the Alien myhtos was that the aliens took no different forms depending on their host. It’s utterly forgettable unlike the first two.
