We shall have to see what our Crew has to say about that.
And sequels.
But I’ve got to say. As we go through the catalog we’ll see the difference a great director makes. They add art and style to a film. Otherwise, it’s just gags and tricks.
Ridley Scott
James Cameron
David Fincher
Each added their style and take on the genre, wonderfully done. The others…WWWWeeeellllll
I can say, without reservation, that if it had been up to me, Eve could have kept her forbidden fruit to herself.
Just cause a woman flaunts her tribble in front of ya doesn’t mean you can blame her for starting tribble.
Send 'em to the Klingon ship, where there be no tribble at all!
Well, for all their faults, the others do broaden the scope of the mythos somewhat. Resurrection shows just how intelligent the aliens really are, for instance. And the AVP movies expand on a popular theme from the comics: the ultimate hunter against the most dangerous prey. Not to mention the aforementioned expansion of how reproduction works.
Oh! So, you’re gonna play that card now.

Granted. I’m just saying there is Broadway production and then there is Schoolhouse production.
I truly am sorry, but this just makes me want to vomit. Have I become a prude since I have become a parent? To put all my cards on the table, I can’t stand the modern zombie movies that have made toddlers into zombies.
Hey! Those kids try very hard. Their parents must be so proud.
So true. Toddlers are so small. There probably wouldn’t be enough left to come back from the dead.
I’m a monster.
Sorry to offend. I just love it for the geek factor.
Psst That’s not a real hugger.
Do you think it exploits children or do you just find it in bad taste?
The zombies don’t seem to mind.
OK, I’ll stop.
To my mind, it lends an air of realism to the horror. After all, zombies (or aliens, in this case) are soulless killing machines that see human beings only as meat. How better to indicate that than for them to attack small children, something so inhuman that it disgusts the average person. For the zombie or the alien (or a Terminator), though, it’s just a means to an end, no more, no less.
Oh, and BTW, it’s not just “modern” zombie movies. There was a young girl who became a zombie in the original Night of the Living Dead. Not a toddler, per se, but pretty young all the same.
Can I TELL you how bummed I am that my internet was out last night?! I missed this!
The other night I watched this movie for the first time.
The first 30-40 minutes were very boring and I sped the video up, but about after the 2nd crew member got offed and our friend grew it got interesting.
“Mother” is like the stupiest concept of a computer entity I’ve seen in a long time!
Uncle Bilbo really looks young way back.
Why the hell did Ellen go back for the kitteh???!
Loved the scene when it got out of the dude’s chest.
It may have been a fantastic scifi movie in the time back when it was released, but for me it was more mediocre than good.
She didn’t want 4chan on her ass, of course.
