I can’t believe I’ve seen three movies in theaters this year with horrifying birth scenes

 

this, The First Omen, and what else?

 

Hey man wtf

 

Remove the AVP movies and I think this is me too

 

Immaculate

 

didn't see that picture, looked bad

 

Had a fun time but liked the first omen more

 

1. Alien
2. Aliens
3. The rest of them

That isn't to be flippant; they are all decent movies that don't compare to the two great films. Resurrection was the first one I ever saw and Winona Ryder was one of my first crushes so that one is a little bit more ingrained in my memory.

 

its good

 

3 was the first one I saw because it was on tv one afternoon when I was a kid lol

 

you can tell sigourney wanted to be done by that point

 

*NSFW "kill me" gif here*

 

have that one in my watchlist

 

Rewatched 3 today, the assembly cut, and it’s easily the worst; I’ll do Resurrection and the AVPs soon, but I know they’ll be on par or worse. Not including those, Alien is the top and I rate and enjoy the rest the same and equally.

 

i love the lore in that movie but some of the performances, mainly those two, absolutely suck lol

 

I don’t mean this to be a hot take, and maybe it’s my own sensory issues, but Paxton (normally love him) drives me insane and grates on my nerves in Aliens. Not as bad, but similar to the kid in Babadook; it affects my enjoyment of the film.

 

Definitely understandable. It's a very fine line.

 

he's my favorite performance outside of sigourney in the series haha

 

Me after seeing the Hudson hate and needing to leave the thread

 

It is the biggest part of the silliness and lightness that Cameron brought to the series. Aliens is very strong on its own terms but there is a reason the other films more closely resemble Alien.

 

I appreciate that Aliens isn't just an Alien rehash and tries to do its own thing.

 

it's one of the great action movies of its time, just like the first is one of the great horrors.
