Aliens is alright. Personally, 3 is my favorite.

But Alien is so good...c'mon kids.

Wow, I completely forgot about that. Time to check when it's playing.

If it's getting a WIDE RE-RELEASE then I'm so fookin' there it ain't even funny.



MD20XX / Storm Rider

Has it been digitally altered at all, or have any new scenes been added?

'Alien' was a masterpiece, like the original 'Star Wars' it doesn't need any changing.

Well, I don't think its that wide. 5 out of the 203843208 theaters by me have it. If you go to www.alien.com, you can check your area code for availability. BUT...there were actually MORE theaters playing it than it showed me.

It was restored, then transferred back to film.
6 minutes were added to the movie; scenes that were originally deleted.

Seeing it on Halloween night.

And for the record, in order of greatness from my perspective:

1. Alien

2. Aliens - Director's Cut | The PERFECT sequel. The kind of movie you and your friends invent immediately after seeing the original, giddy with crazy ideas. Send in a bunch of marines to kill the aliens, replacing all of the suspense of the first with balls-to-the-wall action. This movie is so good it hurts, Paxton's hilarious freak-out is the best part of the entire series, and the Director's Cut adds backstory to the colony.

3. Alien - Director's Cut | The version that's being re-released, by the way. It's not the original, and worse for it, in my opinion. The added scenes are minor and distracting, and the only notable addition is when (SPOILER) Ripley mercy kills Dallas after he's been coccooned, which completely undermines the power of his death scene in the first one because, SURPRISE he didn't really die...yet...ugh)

4. Alien 3 | This got trashed by the critics, but so does everything done by Fincher, so who cares. Dillon's speech is great ("Nobody ever gave me nuthin!"), Ripley looked like a badass with her shaved head and killing off the other two surviving members before the movie even starts was a great way to open.

5. Aliens
6. Alien - Resurrection | Terrible from start to finish, with the only good idea (Ripley coming back as an animalistic clone) being a mixed blessing because it destroys the beauty of Alien 3's conclusion. The arty French direction felt out-of-place, the color palette changed from tones of black to tones of muddy, stupid brown, and the film committed the unforgivable sin of completely ignoring the Alien's reproduction cycle (and HOW could you ignore the creature's most memorable element?!) by making it have "sex" with Ripley and spawning a ridiculous half-human/half-alien monster that's supposed to elicit sympathy from the audience, when all it did was induce fits of laughter.

Happy Halloween, everyone. Now back to my Motel Hell and Funhouse double-feature.

Wow, I did'nt even know about this! I bought the DVD Collecters box set on release years back

saw it last night. No CG has been added, its just been cleaned up and soom new footage added, also has digital sound

and for an added bonus Aleins Vs Predator trailer will be on the movie, no big deal its just a teaser

Hot damn! My boss was just telling me about this film at work last week.

I'd like to see Alien in the theatre. Maybe i'll check it out this weekend.

man, i am wayyyyyy too scard for already ( just saw texas chain saw massacre.)

so i might wait until after halloween

I really want to see it on Halloween, but I'd be a dooshbag for not hanging out with my friends. But I plan on seeing this sometime. BTW, Aliens is the best out of the four.

I will probably go see it this weekend. I have it on DVD. Ridley is one of my favorite directors and the first 2 Alien movies are awesome. As far as I am concerned 3 and 4 dont exist.

Why are people down on 3? The plot is just so perfect. They have to fight the alien without weapons! Great stuff!
