really mate? fucking hell, i'd give it a 2/10 maximum, and alien is one of my favourites of all time :? really thought it was shockingly bad, probably worst movie i saw this year. predictable script, terrible acting and most of the story was copy+paste from alien, like the good robot that turned bad, the whole story with the crew, the company fucking them over... honestly, was there any new idea for this movie? :?

i think riddley scott is like arsène wenger - was top class until the early naughties, and now is becoming cliché, stupid and uninteresting :(

and wrong again, mate :lol: :wink:

aliens has all the multiple explosions, monsters, screams and what have you, but alien will always be THE classic scifi thriller for me. 8) :wink:

i'd still give aliens a 9/10 though :wink:

btw, not many good scifi movies in the last decade for me :?

1). Looper
2). Chronicle
3). Super 8
4). Inception
5). Avatar
6). District 9
7). Moon
8.) 28 Weeks Later
9). 28 Days Later
10). Planet Terror
11). Children of Men
12). Slither
13). Serenity

There's 13 good-to-great sci films between 2005 and 2012! The bold ones are ones I thought were amazing.
