Legatus Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Off topic but important point: I never watched the Aliens movies ~ I was not allowed to watch them and when I grew up, I never had a want to watch them. Maybe I should smile.gif Yes, you probably should. (At least the first two anyway.) Especially the 2nd part has heavily influenced GW's 'Space Hulk' and 'Space Crusade' games. You probably cannot fully appreciate the image of a Genestealer crawling out of an air duct without having seen these films. If you have any appreciation for Science Fiction you should see these films. If you have no immediate inclination to see them, see it as sort of a geekdom homework. God, I hope you did not watch any of the crap 'AvP' movies before seeing the original Alien movies.

AvP was my first Alien movie :) I liked it but in the same kind of way that I liked Scorpion King - not for a diehard fan or fluff nazi, so to speak, but still bringing a smile to the face. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206767-ullanor/page/2/#findComment-2471348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 AvP 1 and 2 are travesties and should be destroyed in the name of all that is good and worthwhile. Alien Resurrection is also pretty bad, but Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3 are all quite good, with1 and 3 being horror movies and Aliens being basically a sci fi war movie and quite an influence on 40k. In fact Valkyries look ridiculously similar to the dropship from that film, except for the wings it's almost a total replica. Seeing AvP first is kind of like seeing the prequel trilogy before The Empire Strikes Back though, it might kind of ruin it.

Walter Payton Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 AvP 1 and 2 are travesties and should be destroyed in the name of all that is good and worthwhile. At least the will never be as bad as Jason X. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206767-ullanor/page/2/#findComment-2471962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
increaso Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I'd love to get into the head of the Primarchs and Emperor more often. The audiobooks did this fairly well. And strangely for a warhammer fan i am a big believer in dialogue over the violence.
