  • written like someone who saw those movies after growing up with the Marvel universe…

    These movies would be a lot different if they were to be made today, but they were made a lifetime ago, and you don’t get to experience the entire depth of the era and draw conclusions like: it was basic…like… honestly… of course it is basic, because that WAS THE BASE and everyone has been building post- apocalyptic movies BASED off this world.






  • Which (IMHO) is the reason it works so well. The first movie can’t be topped because we’ve seen the Alien and the tension can’t be repeated (see: the later movies which try this same formula and fail). Aliens takes that and ramps it up in a different way to make the desperation of escaping with firepower on your side still nerve wracking!

    The 3rd installment also takes a new twist and different approach but doesn’t succeed as well (I still found it enjoyable, and rewatch from time to time.

    Everything since then has been a cash grab of hot garbage.
