It's safe to say that I ****ing came everywhere. Especially since I noticed they're correcting a few things from AVP: 1) Less CG. It looked good, but it ruined the Aliens. 2) More actual AVP. A lot more fighting. 3) Pretty much guaranteed to be rated R, rather than PG13. Which means gore! Something seriously lacking in AVP. Also, new Predator gadgets which is ****ing badass. Oh, and it's in a jungle/forest which goes along with the rest of the stuff being more like the originals, rather than like AVP.

Most anticipated movie ever? Quite possibly.

Edit: oh, and it's a red band movie trailer. which means it contains things kids shouldn't see. and also means we'll never actually see it shown before a movie!

Cool, I enjoyed the first one and I'll watch this one, nothing to it.


But at the end of AvP, a Predalien was born, think that'll be included in this one?




Posted by The Hate

Wow can't wait to see this amazing movie.

Quoted post: But at the end of AvP, a Predalien was born, think that'll be included in this one?


Not sure if the two plots are related, but it's shown in the trailer. See the part where the alien with the crest gets a wrist blade through the mouth? That's the predalien. And apparently there will be other hybrids in the movie, which should be pretty cool since the last time they did that was with the dog hybrid in Aliens 3 (newborn doesn't count.)



Posted by Near

Well it does look like it will have a bit more action than the first AvP. Anyways, looks good, I'll be sure to check it out.

Was that Sigourney Weaver in the trailer?




Posted by The Hate

*** I hate that commercial.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

When? Though I doubt it.

[quote=Vampiro V. Empire;733079]When? Though I doubt it.

The part where some lady (possibly Sigourney Weaver) says "Hold On". She looks a lot like her. But I may be wrong.




Posted by maian

They could be pulling that, but if so, I'd think it's a younger actor meant to look like her. I do remember thinking that though, but I didn't think it was actually her.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

They probably just got someone that looks like her. I know she wanted to do another Alien movie in the past, but that might've changed since AVP...




Posted by Klarth

I was about to say something along the lines of "man Paul W.S. Anderson sure loves that nuclear-bomb-sterilisation malarkey!", but then I noticed he isn't directing it.

This should be quite good.




Posted by Bebop

Well its cant be any worse than the first one so at least it'll be an improvement.




Posted by Dexter

I have to admit, I was disappointed with the first, especially since I was looking forward to it so much. This one looks like a huge improvement but I'm sure I'll still have my complaints about it. Who cares, though, because the theme rules to the extreme. Predators own. It looks like they're going to continue doing so in this film.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: Predators own. It looks like they're going to continue doing so in this film.


Seems like it. Apparently it's one lone predator this time. So he's gotta be some sort of badass, unlike the ones in the first movie.

In the first one there were two stupid predators and one badass one.

Awesome new trailer...and I just noticed that this one is called "Aliens Vs. Predator"....was it plural for aliens and singular for predators in the first one?




Posted by S

Seems to pay homage to the original Alien vs. Aliens II.




Posted by The Judge

It looks like a definite improvement over the first one. I'll go see it when it comes out.

According to IMDB, it's supposed to not be set in a jungle, but rather a small Colorado town. Hmm... SOUTH PARK?!




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: it's supposed to not be set in a jungle,


WHOA! Really?

lol yeah, dude. That was one of the first things we found out about the movie.



Posted by Tyler Durden

Actually, if you pay very close attention to any of the trailers; you can clearly see the Predalien. My guess, after incubating aboard the Predator mothership, they had to ditch and crashland back on Earth in some remote location. Possibly because they were unfamiliar with this new form of Xeno and weren't yet ready or justly equipped to destroy it, rather getting ****ed.. Could clearly explain the reason we see both the Aliens and the Predators making appearences in the film around the same time. Coincidence made, Vamp you take it from there..




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Man, I hope that was all sarcasm.




Posted by Tyler Durden

Sadly, no Vamp. I calls it like I sees it.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

... oh. Well, all that's been confirmed. The chestbuster hatches out of Scar from the previous movie and evolves to the Predalien. It takes down one of the crew which alerts another Pred who chases after it and uses his plasmacaster to try and take it down, but he blasts a hole in the hull of the ship making it crash-land on earth. The facehuggers escape in the landing, the predalien ****s up the near-dead predator just after he gets a signal off which alerts Wolf (the main Pred of the story, apparently a badass who specializes in clean-ups.) The facehuggers attach to a son and father who were out hunting and BAM.

You've got a Predalien, a whole whack of aliens and a Predator in the mix. It was all in that video I posted.




Posted by The Judge

The idea of having one singular, awesome cleaner predator sounds really, really cool. I'm definitely seeing this opening day.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Better than having three newbies, two of which get ****ed up right off the bat.




Posted by Tyler Durden

Kind of screams.. 'Point Of No Return', if you ask me. Harvey Keitel was a cleaner once, or twice. Almost forgot about Pulp Fiction.




Posted by maian

Uh

This movie sucked. A lot. :cookie:

Seriously, what the heck? Predator was rarely in it, action scenes were cluttered and crowded, tons of pointless characterization, terrible ending...

lol




Posted by Tyler Durden

It felt rushed, and focused on the Predalien way too often. Too much time spent on the human characters, seriously; they're just cattle in this film.




Posted by maian

I actually ended up liking the first one better. That's...unexpected. Much better film imo.




Posted by Ant

I thought it was okay.




Posted by The Judge

It was alright. Not enough Predator.




Posted by Tyler Durden

Yeah, that's the point everyone equally stressed already. Needs more Predator.. [COLOR=gray]*Spoilers*[/COLOR] [COLOR=dimgray]Would have been better if in the end the special forces weren't getting the drop on the helicopter crash, but another band of scout/hunter Preds..that ending was complete fail, left nothing of a cliffhanger or anything to the imagination. Just sell the hand cannon and *close*.[/COLOR]




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: Just sell the hand cannon and *close*.


Uh... that was Yutani. You know, of Weyland-Yutani? It's pretty cool to think Yutani rose to power through the reverse-engineering of predator technology.

Anywho, I loved it. I actually thought there was a perfect amount of Predator. I mean, going back to Predator and Predator 2, both movies took a lot of time to even show the predator (the former taking almost an hour) so I was very pleased in that aspect. Plus, I liked the action scenes... way better than the first AvP.

Excuuuuuuse me for not keeping up on the A/P universe. Had so much more going on in my life since alcohol kicked in. Like; school, work, school, life, work, family, work, school, 3 jobs at once then school.. Spare time to read/research for school, spare time to research and touch up on A/P knowledges.. :) Funny thing is, I finished Concrete Jungle, before ending Conrete Jungle...take that eXbox..

If I got watch a movie on a tuesday, it'll cost me 7$ (plus the popcorn, etc)

THEY'RE ****ING STEALING ME.

But I love movies so much ^_^

No. it's pretty kickass. It's the main poster of the alien and predator wrapped around the earth. It's actually a decent size too. So I ended up taking eight of 'em.

Just sayin'. You said the ending was lame and I was explaining how much it meant to the actual universe. I thought it was cool.

I just didn't feel the whole crash site rescue went down right. Just did not feel like it was thought through. I mean, look at Predator.. did Dutch turn into a ***** when he was picked up? Come on, Dallas had the ****ing Plasmacaster handcannon. He could have pwned that team of recovery specialist. Also, on a minor note, I found this, (which I noticed too, since the opening segments):

Dutch was also a ****ing massive, hardened special forces officer. Half the survivors in AvPR were kids and/or no bodies from a small town (plus one marine whose husband was just killed.) Doesn't quite compare. As for the plasmacaster, he could get one shot off before they were all shredded by thousands of rounds. Not the smartest move. So I'm not quite sure what you're getting at.


And if you recall both Alien and Predator series are full of cliches. Though, what do you expect? This isn't oscar caliber material here.



Posted by Tyler Durden

Now that I rethink the entire series (both A&P), you're right about everything.. Gawd?

But, I don't know if they'd actually get shredded by technically "thousands of rounds", persay. I mean, we are talking about the "friendly fire-off" American armed forces, here.. amirite? They won't even open fire on children suicide bombers when being faced enmass.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

They'd definitely kill Dallas. If he shot at them and planned to follow up on it, they'd have no other choice.




Posted by Tyler Durden

I know, just dragging the conversation to death. So, who here actually wants to see Terminator 4? Pre-production right now, like way...way pre.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

On one hand it was Christian Bale and that is awesome. On the other hand it's directed by the dude who did Stay Alive and Charlie's Angels 2.




Posted by Tyler Durden

Vamp, are you drunk...yes.. I know you don't drink. But seriously, are you drunk?




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Movie wasn't bad, per say, but I'd have much rather it been on some isolated planet, with less humans and more predator shanking aliens.




Posted by Tyler Durden

Word.. and maybe on a deserted prison colony, I don't know (for the hell of it) Vin Deisel could do a cameo repising the role of Riddick; whereas a group of Xenomorphs would tear his *** appart..




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: and more predator shanking aliens.


Killing, what, fifty isn't enough?



Posted by S

Nope. They were all just kinda throw-away kills towards the middle and end. I want some epic ganking.




Posted by The Judge

I want a no-words story about the Predators coming to a planet they've already infested with Aliens and doing some prime-time hunting, all leading up to a climactic scene where they recapture the queen and start anew.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Read the books.


There's a reason there are humans in the movies. Wouldn't really fly to have no talking with the audience the movies are aimed for. It'd be pretty cool, but it wouldn't quite work.



Quoted post: Nope. They were all just kinda throw-away kills towards the middle and end. I want some epic ganking.


Well, what do you expect? Nothing really happened in the beginning like in all Predator movies and it's not like the predator's going to struggle against taking down the aliens. So they have to be throw-away to some degree. Plus, the kills there were was pretty great if you ask me.

Quoted post: How about have the Predator successfully eradicate the threat?


Pretty much impossible all things considered. It'd actually be really, really lame as an Alien fan...



Posted by Linko_16

Yeah, I care a lot more about Alien than Predator, since I really only saw Alien movies growing up, so I'd have been annoyed to see an outright victory on behalf of the Predators. Kinda like how I grew up watching Nightmare on Elm Street and not Friday the 13th, so I was annoyed when I saw Freddy vs. Jason, seeing that Jason became this juggernaut while Freddy was just a pussy.

Anyway, I wasn't super impressed with it. The action sequences were sweet, but they spent all that time developing these character relationships, most if not all of which were lame and cliche'd anyway, only to have it end with [spoiler]all of them dying without closure anyway[/spoiler]. The Alien vs. Predator parts were cool, but the humans really ruined the experience.

As neat as the idea of a Predalien was, I didn't see the point to a hybrid. I haven't read any AvP comics or looked at anything in this thread, so without knowing what to expect from it, I somehow formed the idea that Predalien would be some kind of super-powerful bane to both Predator and Alien, and they'd both have to deal with it wreaking havoc among them. They couldn't team up against it, obviously, since the Xenomorphs are just animals, but I think that would've just made their confrontation against it just more interesting. Instead, however, the Predalien had no special role. It didn't gain anything from being part Predator, since their power is in their technology and it have any of that. It had above-average strength, and it laid eggs (or, rather, pumped chestbusters directly into people, but reproduced all the same); if you'd replaced it with an ordinary Queen, the movie would've been exactly the same. It made the plot pretty much the same as the first film: Aliens fighting Predators, Predators fighting Aliens. You could've switched the action sequences from both films with the backgrounds somehow edited to match, and you wouldn't know the differences. Not that it's too big a deal... the action was still fun, and Alien vs. Predator is the name of the franchise, but given the idea I somehow managed to form, I thought it was kind of a waste.




Posted by Tyler Durden

Dude, but Robert Englund is a pussy.. Watch StangeLand. And, Don't even consider Jason Vs. Freddy a fair battle. Kane Hoddard wasn't even in it as Jason Voorhees. I grew up on ALL horror; no matter how lame, how gorey, or how low budget.. My mother desensitized me well. For the Record, the only reason I ever really considered liking Freddy Krueger...he killed off Johnny Depp.




Posted by Linko_16


Quoting Tyler Durden: And, Don't even consider Jason Vs. Freddy a fair battle.


It's not a fair fight by virtue of Jason being a real, physical threat and Freddy being a ghost who kills you in your dreams. Their nature meant that the fight was decided by where they were at the time: When they're in a dream, Freddy's basically G[color=indigo]od (though the film seemed to give him less power even there, which was one of the things that really upset me), but outside of a dream he's just some guy with burned skin and knives on his fingers, giving Jason the ultimate advantage.

I guess that's how my problem with FvJ arose. In AvP, neither party is ever really given a full victory, they both die in the struggle somehow. But in FvJ, there's no middle ground; either they're in a dream, where Freddy will win outright, or they're in reality, where Jason will win outright. Freddy had to be the one to lose, because he's the sadistic mastermind of torture, and just like in AvP, the humans had to side with the lesser of two evils: in this case, Jason, who's just a machine programmed to punish those he sees as sinners. Still, the ending could've been more of a compromise between the two fanbases somehow, in my opinion... I don't know how, can't think of another solution offhand, but I hate to see one of my favorite old-school horror movie icons turned so worthless. Even before Freddy and Jason got to fight, they never gave him a chance to do anything cool.

I guess, for an explanation as to why he could, Freddy wasn't "powerful" enough yet to do things like that.

I'm not so sure I want to see this movie, simply because I want to see more Predator taking names.




Posted by Linko_16


Quoting Skitzo Control: Oh yeah, like in Dream Warriors where he strings that kid up like a little puppet with his tendons and makes him walk out of a bell tower!


Exactly... instead of having personalized tortures, they just used the standard Boiler Room setting, and he just tried to cut people with his knives. And he hardly got to kill anyone anyway! You can think of explanations for it, I suppose, but Freddy just wasn't at his best in that movie, and that's a failure considering that it's supposed to be gratuitous to both fanbases.



Posted by ExoXile

I'm broke right now so I downloaded a well above average-cam quality video.

But as always, everything gets a lot darker, you really can't see much.
The sound sucks, and the people start laughing at the weirdest scenes...

Except the, "Our government would never do that to us" part.
Haha, made me laugh just cause they did.

Anyway.

I'm not entitled to say it's good or bad just yet, I will see it at the theaters first.

But so far it hasn't impressed me, nor is it a let-down.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: seeing that Jason became this juggernaut while Freddy was just a pussy.


That's how their respective series have always been. Freddy is a pussy. He kills everyone in their dreams where he's practically invincible. Jason is a juggernaut who survives literally everything thrown at him. Made perfect sense.

They did in AvP. Two predators got their asses handed to them. Still, if we're talking about the AvP universe here, the Preds will always have the upper hand. And you really can't toss in the most badass predator whose job is to specifically do what he did in the movie and just have him killed off by a couple aliens. That would be fairly lame.


Quoted post: But the ending was kind of lame. Deus Ex Machina.



Quoted post: How about have the Predator successfully eradicate the threat?


Forgot to say. If the humans didn't nuke the small city, you know the predator would've. Even if he didn't get stabbed through the chest (but he did, which he then would've activated the nuke anyways) he would've had to nuke the town anyways to ensure no aliens got out, which they sure as hell would've otherwise.



Posted by ExoXile

The Xenomorphs spreading would have been awesome.


IF! It didn't break the continuity of the Alien films.
Which it would.

But, it would have been cool.

Yeah, that's what I was saying: the whole thing that made Freddy cool, the fact that he kills you in your dreams, has to be compromised in order for the fight to even take place, so the movie was just lame for a Nightmare on Elm Street fan. But even with that having to happen, Freddy barely got to work his magic even with the dream-world screen time he got. So in my opinion, he really got the short end of the stick.

I was refering to FvJ with that bit, I was pretty satisfied with the endings in both AvP movies. I know the Predators have to score the moral victory every time since an Alien victory means the universe = over; even as a big Alien fan, I know that they're the real villains here.

Hey, as someone who doesn't take in much Predator (I've really only ever seen the first movie and both AvP movies, haven't read any of the comics), what is their civilization like, exactly? Do they just sit around all day waiting for huntin' time?

Only time that's ever come up is in a couple books and comics. But think samurai or spartans. If not out hunting they're training and practicing. None of it is really canon I believe, however, so I won't bother going into detail.

He did get Jason into a dreamworld, but what do you expect? He can't kill Jason, much like Jason couldn't kill Freddy. But if you ask me, Freddy got some of coolest hits in.

What are you saying about the film; was it lacking? Did it feel rushed? Could it have used a greater amount of plot?




Posted by The Judge

I'm sure that's what attributed to it's bad reviews. :rolleyes:

Either way, They need to include more about the fact that predators have been there for quite some time hunting Man throughout the ages. They've basically just let the aliens take 100% control over a ton of planets they've brought them to for a good hunt, but have always kept Earth contained because of what good opponents humans are.

EDIT: Ninja'd




Posted by CrystalPain

What i didn't like is that in the previous AVP more then one predator when for the hunt and quiet a few died. As in AvP-R only one when to earth to kill off the Aliens




Posted by S

That was explained.

What I personally found funny is that my Mom and Dad watched the original AvP the night before we went and saw AvP-R, and they thought that the events were post-modern, ranging in the space age, rather than more relevant to today. My mom disliked it because AvP-R was modern, but liked AvP because it "wasn't". She's a hardcore Aliens fan, so it's of no surprise.




Posted by Tyler Durden

Can we all disagree-to agree that AVP and AVP:R were both likable pieces of dogshit, and leave it at that? Maybe, talk about what the Predator could have done to improve his chances of surviving that nuke? amirite..

Like in AvP where it was covered just fine? I mean, the only problem with that is that they'd have to have some sort of proof, and obviously there is none. Or just make a movie completely from the Predator's perspective but that'd go completely over the target audience's collective heads. Plus, it'd be done so poorly I don't even want to see it made.


Quoted post: They've basically just let the aliens take 100% control over a ton of planets they've brought them to for a good hunt, but have always kept Earth contained because of what good opponents humans are.


Not canon, so it doesn't really matter. Otherwise you'd have **** like the new novel actually mean something to the franchise and that's be horribly wrong.


Quoted post: Maybe, talk about what the Predator could have done to improve his chances of surviving that nuke? amirite..


He would've died either way due to being impaled. If that nuke didn't get him he would've just blown himself and the town up anyways.

They vaguely hinted at the predator being around throughout man's history at the end of Predator 2 when he tossed him the colonial gun as a trophy.




Posted by ExoXile

Vaguely?

I'd say that's a statement.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: They vaguely hinted at the predator being around throughout man's history at the end of Predator 2 when he tossed him the colonial gun as a trophy.


Yeah, and they full-out confirmed it in AvP where they were g[COLOR="White"]o[/COLOR]ds back in the Mayan period and visited that specific pyramid every 100 years since. Then there's Predator 1 and 2 and AvP2 that show just fine that they stop in more frequently than that to hunt humans.



Posted by The Judge

Maybe it'd be nice if they made P3, except...you know...well done, unlike 2. Now granted, 2 had a ton of cool parts, but it just wasn't on par with the original.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Well that's not going to happen.




Posted by The Judge

*tear*




Posted by Skitzo Control

I preferred P2 because it didn't have that lame "1-on-1" feeling. Arnold vs. Predator in an isolated world felt way too convenient. I preferred the fight in the city, because it added some new obstacles for the Predator to take advantage of, not to mention Danny Glover's famous, "I'm getting to old for this ****," line.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire


Quoted post: I preferred the fight in the city, because it added some new obstacles for the Predator to take advantage of,


Not like it really matter. Both predators got their asses handed to them.



Posted by The Judge

Well, not necessarily. In the first one, it was only because Arnold knew the terrain and set up a log trap that he won. When it came to a solid brawl, he womped Arnold's [COLOR="black"]a[/COLOR]ss.

And the only problem I had with the second one is all the random killings. Predator's hunt for honor and take skulls as trophies. In the second movie he was just a rampaging, murderous monster, and most of the time when he confronted the main character, he was simply attempting to get away from him.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Nah, the pred will kill anyone in his way of his prey as long as they pose a threat, ie holding a weapon. So it wasn't that big of a deal. Not to mention Predator 2 is canon thus more correct than anything else out there. Not like he killed any innocents like the little kid or a couple of the women.

As for the first part, isn't out-thinking largely part of the whole hunt idea? Either way, both predators got their asses handed to them.

Amen.. That's just like Predator hunting down a Grizzly, stalking across a rabbit. And leaving the rabbit untouched.. Read so in a comic, once.

Oh, and Preds won't harm anyone being prego. Word.. That includes Judge.

I'm giving birth to Satan right now, actually. I'm glad he's worm-shaped, cause that's making this a lot easier.

Quoting Skitzo Control: I preferred P2 because it didn't have that lame "1-on-1" feeling.


I actually really liked that. A battle of wits in a free environment.
