Recently I've watched Alien and Aliens in their entirety for the first time. Right now I'm extremely bored with nothing to do, and I'm considering watching it tonight. Would it even be worth it, or is it as bad as everyone says?

The last two are bad.

What

Sure, it's worth watching if you have nothing else to do. Obviously it doesn't hold a candle to Alien or Aliens, but Alien 3 is basically a better sci-fi action movie than the kind you usually see on sci fi.

There is 4 Alien movies, 3 is.... ehhhh and Resurrection I thought was just terrible.

"So- So this means Im just going to be miserable for the rest of time?!"

"No. This means that you have to live life to the fullest. You have one life, live it well. Make sure you die without regrets. Get a new life, new mate, new family. You, out of all people, don't deserve a terrible fate of misery like that. Having nothing to look forward to is good. It makes sure you want to keep on going. Living is a right, not a privilege."

Its alright.

Whenever you hear people say "It sucks" or "Its terrible" they're just mad it isn't directed by James Cameron. Or have no taste.

Watch them yourself, see what you think.

13.72 billion years in the making.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

I believe I've seen it at some point, I don't remember it very well, though. From what I've heard, it pales in comparison to Alien and Aliens. And don't even try Resurrection.

Sure, if you like close ups, quick cuts to nothing and a shaky cam.

Also they are unartistic and poorly directed.


I can think of 10 Alien invasion movies that are 5000000x better than the Alien movies.

No not really it pretty much ruins the ending to Aliens and its just a very underwhelming film. But if you have to see it then I would recommend watching the directors cut if you can find it.

I suggest watching a different movie.

Alien 3 has some good plot elements to it, but the CGI has the weird late 80s-early 90s crap where CGI was so new that it was awfully executed.

You should watch Resurrection.

The sound of iron shocks is stuck in my head, The thunder of the drums dictates
The rhythm of the falls, the number of dead's the rising of the horns, ahead
From the dawn of time to the end of days I will have to run, away
I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste of the blood on my lips, again

Yea it's pretty good. It went back to the sci-fi/slasher genre, which is a big contrast from intense action movie that was Aliens. I don't think it's better, or even on par with the previous two but it's still worth a watch.

Now, Alien Resurrection on the other hand...

How they handle the carry over from Aliens is terrible though.


For the record: Alien > Aliens

It's okay bro, you just don't know a good movie when you see it. We understand your mental disability. If you want to talk about it, I'm here.
