THOUGHTS AN BEST BITS
Well it made less at the box office world wide than it cost to make even with reshoots and holding it off and putting it out at halloween and i can see why with a cheap Ripley wannabe and to much of a remake reboot to the movie it just felt like i was watching an alt cut lol it had no surprise and even with footage in the original showing them blowing up some ice and finding the alien ship and they dont fucking do it ? what the fuck i mean come on.
So directing wise uhh the director who had made a total of 4 short movies from 1993 till 2010 ? gets handed this movie a sequel/prequel come on who is sucking who at that studio now maybe hes went on nahh nah hes done 4 more shorts since lol its 2018 bitch hes a nobody who sucked some Harvey Weinstein type an i hope his cock was so salty unwashed and with warts cause fuck me who does that gives a bum a movie franchise ? any ways yeh he adds fuck all style feel heart or tone to it he just points the camera at some shit n thats it.
Ok so the cast is well shite ok i like her sexy look but shes always gonna be McClanes bugging kid that gets kidnapped and shes not so good as to make me ever see her in any character i just see her walking away moaning its Genero. With Joel i thought maybe i was gonna get my leading guy/copy cat Kurt but not really hes kinda the same but not hes not the lead as such but does fly and have a beard... and big furry coat... and carry a blow torch but other than that hes not. As for the rest of them just felt odd i get its ment to be at least in the original be a Norway station but didnt mean they had to be all non talking bums that just die in five minutes worth of movie and then have the limited set just blow up and get torched in seconds and then just uh bla.
Its not dvd worthy its not worth paying for to keep and watch some time at halloween cause its just a poor mans remake just go watch a much better version of the movie with Kurt fucking Russell. It adds nothing to the lore of the alien history or story it gives us nothing new to add or show us anything cool its just so bland its like a cup of coffee drained through my socks.
