I'm just a fan of the 4 Alien flicks. Not of AvP 1 & 2. Those just didn't work.
Alien is a classic slasher flick.
Aliens was just epic.
Alien 3 went into a different direction as it couldn't out do Aliens and made a movie on Ripley going into hell on a dark journey facing her demons one last time and trying to save humanity or the universe from the thing that fucked her life. You should only watch the Special Edition as it's as close to the director's vision as Fox kept stepping in and demanding changes.
Alien Resurrection was popcorn, comic booky fun.
AvP 1 & 2 failed...........The story in the AvP2 video game was great.....Why did these movies fail? They took place in the present & on Earth. As well as ripped things from what made the Alien & Predator flicks good and weakened them.
After Aliens though no sequel could live up to it. At least Alien 3 & 4 went in a different direction to not copy Aliens.
As far as the species goes. I always considered them a bio weapon most likely created by the Space Jockeys in the first flick. Why? Well Aliens took place 57 years later and no other sign of the species was found except on the ship on LV-426. Alien Resurrection was 200 years later and again no species found. I just don't think the way the species work that they could live on there own home planet. They are a virus, a parasite that just consumes everything so they can populate and consume all other being. So if no one was able to get off a planet full of Aliens. Then they would just face hug everyone and the Aliens would die off from lack of other species eat or facehug. As in Alien 3 we see that the species does eat.
On face huggers....There is face huggers that lay warrior Aliens and a queen face hugger that lays two Aliens. A queen and a warrior to protect the Queen and help build the nest.
As for Aliens. There is no breeding. That's just bad writing in Alien Resurrection "It's a Queen, she'll breed, you'll die" -#8. Since in Resurrection they cloned Ripley and got just a Queen. What is she gonna breed with?
To me Ripley knew the last Alien was with her and the queen inside her on Fiorina 'Fury' 161 and that the only way to ensure it didn't go on was to sacrifice her self at the end.
As they destroyed LV-426 in Aliens. Plus taking 200 years after Alien 3 to get more Aliens was a pretty good job by Ripley.
Anyways I'll post more thoughts on the Alien saga later.
What's your view?
