Yeah, I have this feeling that AvP is just gonna go down the same route as Resurrection. They're gonna be bringing the aliens out of the shadows more and more, just because the CG now allows them to. It's gonna lose a lot of the menace associated with the aliens.
It's not gonna be like any of the Pred films or Alien Quadrilogy (maybe similar to Resurrection), that's for sure.
Still, ya never know, it might be good in it's own right.
I dont think they'll show the aliens as much as they did in Resurrection, in an interview I read (you can read it here), they said that they would only use CGI when they absolutely needed, they guy agreed that they showed too much in the 4th film (for example, the scene under water), they are going to try and not do that again.
From the interview, it seens to be turning out pretty good.
I'm really hoping that the AvP movie is going to kick ass but someone told me that the director that did Resident Evil (dunno the name) is making it and to be honest, RE film wasn't terribly good...if its true, i hope he/she does a better job this time round...

Not to mention the fact that they looked very cheezy. At least it was better than in Alien3. :/
I'm really hoping the movie is good. Paul Anderson hasn't had the great of a track record, though. I'll just keep my fingers crossed.
Yup yup, no matter what they do with the Aliens series, Aliens will always be the un-argued daddy. Best of the quadrilogy, no doubt.
Depends on what you like. There are many people who greatly prefure the first ALIEN over all others. It was simply so unbridled with terror, and when it first came out it was so different with the stile of photography.

But ya know, in Pred2 they hint at the Yautja's previous contact with the Xeno's cos u can see an alien skull hanging up in the ships "trophy cupboard" (I'm sure everyone's already noticed this).
That is very true, the first was a mould breaker for the time. Terrifying, especially the first time u watch it.
But on the other hand, the second manages to balance the fear factor (admittedly not as intense) with some superbly atmosheric battles which gives the film some pace while retaining the menace of the xeno's. Once u've watched Alien a few times, u begin to notice that it actually plods onwards fairly slowly and it's easier to lose interest once the scares and shocks have been removed (by veiwer expectance). I think for repeated watching, the balance of action, well directed screenplay and varying pace of Aliens,gives it an edge over it's predecesor.
As a result, I would say Aliens has stood the test of time better than the original which is reflected by it's popularity.
As many people have already said, mates and critics alike (it was even mentioned in one of the Scream films), that Aliens is a rare example of a sequel being "better" than the original.
I'm not saying ur wrong, far from it, Alien is a classic. But I personally think Aliens has a wider appeal and a better balance as a film generally, which IMO makes it "better".
