    Damn you know. Thinking about it. If Alexa had joined the Predators. Only to then comeback in the sequel. She could've been a real badass. She already has the experience of killing a xenomorph and working together with a Predator. It would've made for a more epic sequel if they had decided to do that.

      I remember reading the book of this back in like 1995 or 96? It's been a while. At the end the main character, Machiko Noguchi, actually did go with the Predators when they showed up a couple years later looking for their lost hunting party. She had even learned the basics of their language which impressed them on top of her hunters mark. Such a shame the original script got butchered into this movie after such a long development hell.

The feral predator was aggressive and it was an interesting one too. The predator franchising is looking pretty good this year. I hope they keep doing movies like this more often. Maybe they'll keep focusing on the lore's of the predator I would love it

      Covert Farts yeah i have. enjoyed all the predator movies, but alien 3 and Alien resurrection were kinda bad. kinda iffy about Prometheus, and haven't seen covenant.
      problem with those latter two is that i like the idea that Xenomorphs don't exist because of human involvement, and are either a natural species the Engineers weaponized, or an artificial species the Engineers designed as weapons, with no Human involvement in sight.

    • @TamTroll
      @TamTroll 6 років тому +3

      yeah, i think that's the idea for alien 1 through resurrection. Covinent however gives off the vibe that humans looking for the engineers, finding the black goo, having a human woman get pregnant with a giant facehugger that impregnates an engineer that chestbursts into the Decon, it KIND of gives off the impression that that was the "first" xenomorph. Though there was the scene earlier in the film where Engineers are seen running for their lives in a cave, possibly running from Xenomorphs.
      And then in Alien Covinent, Neomorphs are made by a human-built android, which could possibly be interpreted as him building the xenomorph species.
      Honestly i don't know. i just want Xenomorphs to have a completely 100% not-human related origin.

    Sanaa Lathan's character was the best part about AVP, it's rare to see a beautiful, intelligent, confident, driven, independent, empowered black woman take charge on the screen, much less one who is the central protagonist/heroine of the whole movie, which by the way as far as box-office was the most lucrative of both franchises combined.

The way you include background into the movies and how they are made is an excellent transition and helps give context as to why the films were crafted as they were, time constraints, how more fingers in the honeypot destroy good scripts, and the like.

    I feel like Alexa and Scar were the only characters whose stories needed developing. I think the whole movie points out that even though this alien species hunts humans, it also has a rich history of shared ideologies and unity with humanity. So it's only natural that they end up being the only two we should care about since they're showing the relationship between this alien species and humans can still exist thousands of years later.

    Wow, after watching 5 of you movie review videos you earned a new sub today. Thanks, this makes me want to go back and watch these movies again. You do a great job, I hope Hollywood notices, "free" advertising like this is worth millions. People want "good" movies with "good" reviews. For those w/o talent it is easy to make a video "trashing" a movie with lies and deceit for some quick views (even when people don't watch it to the end). We are tired of all the Negative BS that keeps being "pushed" on us.
    Please keep up the good work. If you don't review a movie then in my mind you didn't have the time or it wasn't worth doing (mostly). Your writing is on spot, I look forward to your future reviews it goes w/o saying.

    This movie has a special place in my memory. It was rated as "11 Years" (in Sweden at least) and so I and a friend rented it back when we were 11 and thought ourselves _oh so cool_ and it ended up with the parents pulling us away after 2/3 of the film because we were screaming out lungs out. I had nightmares for weeks. Still, it was one helluva bonding moment and that friend is the only childhood friend I am still friends with almost 20 years later. Good times~

    Though both AVP films weren’t cinematic masterpieces (which I didn’t expect them to be in the first place), as a fan they were enjoyable dumb monster movies nonetheless. I would’ve loved if they had more fleshed out stories, and took place in the future with the colonial marines. But I understand how hard it is to combine two great Sci-Fi franchises and implementing their individual tones. If I could change anything about the 1st AVP is that it should’ve been rated R, I understand they did that as a broad way to get more people to see the movie. It would’ve been a nice nod to hardcore fans of both franchises and AVP comics. Great video by the way man, never ever disappointed with any of your videos.

    In Erich Von Daniken's landmark book, "Chariots of the Gods," his ideas and concepts are always offered in the form of a question, rather than a claim, or a bald assertion.
    He postulates his "Ancient Alien" hypotheses by making statements about what we know from archaeology, paleontology and all the other sciences relating to the context and building a model by asking the reader, "what if?" as opposed to illustrating the possible connections as a matter of, "fact."
    I realize it's a fairly superficial distinction, of course, but it does put him in a much more intellectually honest position than most of the others offering explanations alternative to "mainstream" scholars.
    It's a subtlety that, for me, disqualifies his hypotheses from being dismissed as merely, "psuedo science."
    (Unlike actual psuedo scientists like Graham Hancock and others, largely responsible for a significant amount of "re-education" going on in our armchair scholar society today, in which anyone with even a passing recognition of the subject matter is seemingly prepared to throw out the bulk of the established science in favor of their own pet "theories.)

For what it is, I appreciate what it brings to our understanding of the Alien and Predator lore, and made in a time before everything was CGI
