ET Warrior Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 Well, since Groovy called me a git and hurt my feelings, I'm posting this thread so it doesn't happen again I'm pretty excited for this movie anywho, and here are some previews and trailers, the last one looks REALLY awesome Teaser Trailer Internet Trailer Internet Preview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 this film is either going to be really good or utterly crap. i hate being a 'glass is half empty' guy, but i get the feeling it will be the latter... hopefully i'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--ZeeMan-- Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 i hope you're wrong as well, but i agree with you (sees another freddie vs jason flick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggle Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 I've been concerned about this since reading an aritcle a while back saying there was a dodgy script and stuff hopefully im wrong and its in the class of the originals rather than the progressively worse sequels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 This is actually about the 7th script they've tried. They were going to do the first one, which involved no humans, but it only had like 3 minutes of dialogue, so they scrapped it. The others were basically the same thing they have now, just different characters and locales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomie Posted June 22, 2004 Share Posted June 22, 2004 If it's like the games, we're in for a treat. At least, I thought the games were good, excuse me if i'm wrong... P.S. i hope to see a lot of the predators and their gadgets, they're the best alien race ever to have been designed by someone. I.M.H.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Video Games do not make good movies. Let's also remember that both Alien and Predator are two seperate classic movies. Personally, I think this movie is going to blow chunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kain Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I'm trying not to set my standards high for this one. Better to be surpirsed than disappointed...*cough*MatrixRevolutions*cough*... *cough*StarWarsEpisodes1and2*cough* What? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I made a poll about this awhile ago..... i might watch it, i might not, depends on what else is on at the time, and on various other factors.... one thing I do know though, video games becoming movies arent replete with quality as pieces of cinema... resident evil tomb raider mortal kombat ugh ! mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poggle Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Astro you left out the worst one of all Video Game + Van Damme + Kyle Minogue = Street Fighter surely the worst film ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 mortal kombat rules. catchy tune and all... AvP is likely to be a fun dumb action film. Whether it exceeds that probably depends on whether the director has grown up and whether they take the cool bits from the game (plots etc..) or just go for a dumb plotless film with lots of CGi. I'd have more faith if they had picked a decent director... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET Warrior Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 Bah. Like you know. I think it's going to be fun. I dont anticipate a very interesting plot, I just want to see Aliens and Predators killing each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Originally posted by ET Warrior I just want to see Aliens and Predators killing each other. So why not just buy the game? You can get it new now for like $10-20 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt-Man Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 looks pretty wicked to me, man predators are wicked, the predators are like: i'm 200 pounds,8 feet tall,i have doul 16 inch baldes, yeah i'm wicked and i know it(plus the crazy spear thing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 AvP will big a big cgi extravaganza. Also known as crap. It'll be sort of fun to watch... for the fights I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I'm not really sure what to think about this. I love the predators and aliens. but.... I dunno... humans... just kinda ..... I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 I will go see it, but I don't expect it to have much of a plot. I'll be amazed if it does something other than "Oh my gosh how will humans prevail" and somehow the humans win. I never really caught onto the predator/alien franchises, never seen any of the movies... am I missing something here? Cause they don't really look that interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Originally posted by Chase Windu I think this film will be complete and utter crapola. I don't think it'll be as crappy as Freddy vs. Jason but it'll still be a full load of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause they don't really look that interesting Well Alien set up a whole genre... but it's dated a lot now due to everything copying it. Aliens is one of the best action films ever made IMHO, great design, pace, thrills, characters, everything. Just don't watch the terrible directors cut that ruins the pacing. The other films suck (unless you are a huge fan:D ) Predator was a great fun 80s action film, although not up to terminator standards. Again great design though. Pred 2 has great ideas, but doesn't pull them off. I guess the design/look/feel of the aliens is the main factor that made them cool... but the tanking of the sequels shows that just cos you have cool aliens and guns doesn't mean the film will be good, if it doesn't manage to have good story, characters and action it will still be average.
