After years of experience directing music videos, young director David Fincher was gifted an opportunity to direct the third installment of the Oscar-winning Alien franchise. The movie kills off everyone but Ripley from Aliens , and strands her in a prison. Tumultuous production saw Fincher exit the project near its completion, resulting in an obviously mixed final product.
Written by Joss Whedon The Avengers , and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet Amelie , Alien: Resurrection resurrects Ripley after her fiery sacrifice at the end of Alien 3 in the form of a clone hundreds of years after her death. The same scientists that made her have been farming xenomorphs, which turns out to be a bad idea—no way—when they all break free.
Following years of discussion, allusion in films, and comic book meetups, Alien vs Predator was finally brought to the big screen by Paul W. Anderson Resident Evil , Event Horizon. A group of scientists travels under the ice of Antarctica to explore a newly discovered archeological site.
There, they awaken a xenomorph queen who begins producing xenomorphs and, soon after, predator aliens show up to clean house. The PG adaptation merging two R-rated franchises struggled to capture the thrilling action of the Predator franchise or the chilling intensity of the Alien franchise resulting in an underwhelming flagship entry.
The story of a town beset by xenomorphs and face-huggers off of a crashed predator ship lacks the all-star cast or sci-fi setting that made the Alien franchise visually captivating. Further, the picture is marred by darkness—-possibly in an attempt to compensate for the reduced budget—making most of the film a battle to observe. The faithful depictions of the efficiency of the predator up against the vicious scourge of xenomorphs, and a script with references to both franchises help make this a movie fans can appreciate, but general audiences may struggle to appreciate.
What happened to David after the events of Alien: Covenant? Who crashed the Juggernaut on LV? Was it David, an Engineer, or someone else entirely?
In space, no one can hear you scream: Best horror movies. According to those movies, the Xenomorphs already exist in the 21st century: AvP tells us that the creatures were first discovered in Antarctica by Charles Bishop Weyland Lance Henriksen , and that Predators had been fighting Aliens for thousands of years — perhaps even longer.
