There's going to be weird creatures, and probably references to the classic xenomorph. I'd wager there will be at least one chestburster based on the fact it's a direct prequel to Alien.

Where did you hear that it was a direct prequel? Everything Ridley has said is that its a prequel to the "events" from Alien, but it is not the prequel.

He said the last 30 minutes or so pretty much explain what happened in Alien. Like, how the space jockey got there.

Two more days to go. Lots of Alien/Aliens fans (note: not that Alien 3 or AVP crap) have waited a long time for an explanation of the jockey(s). |

If the French hated it, it must be great.

here's a good question. I have a hard time answering it.
which is the better movie? Alien or Aliens???? they are both so frigging AWESOME, yet they are so very very different. Alien is all about suspense and for the longest part of the movie imagination. Aliens is more in your face action. both have great story lines. part of me wants to go with Aliens because...it's just badass. but you just can't discount Alien, it too is badass, just in a different way. it's tough. push come to shove......I just can't decide.....

Then several years ago I went back and watched Alien again. Holy crap, that's a great movie. I don't know what my younger self was thinking. Even when you know all about xenomorphs, it's still extremely intense and suspenseful. The cinematography is beautiful, and the acting is top-notch (anything with both Ian Holm and John Hurt has to be good). One of the few sci-fi films from that era that holds up today. I'd have to call it a draw. |

Reviews are starting to roll in now at RT. 89% positive so far.
I'm not going to read any of them because I want to risk spoiling anything before I see it, but I'm really, really getting stoked about this. |

I expect the RT reviews to be a little more on the negative side than we might hope. I think high concept ideas are a harder sell than popcorn stuff like Avengers (which isn't saying it was bad in any way...) so I expect there to be a wider range of reactions, especially among the top critics, few of whom are nearly as smart as they think they are. We'll see, though.
