saw it - liked it - had a laff.
its a b-movie, a real b-movie in the 50s' yank tradition or japanese godzilla versus style.
some v.cool visuals: the ice tunnel blasted from space was very very cool, ribbed all the way down too.
the mining outpost on the island - ambience of a computer game level in a 1st person shooter - i like this.
scenes of the ice-breaker during the night - stunning. good to see an ice-breaker-type ship again - not seen this shit for a long time - very 70s, very king kong remake, very, 2000AD comic.
good slow start - wise choice. fed up of close ups bleeding into spectacular kickstart scene - AVP went old school here and it worked.
enjoyed the silly round up of characters at the start - thought the mountain climb telecon with guy on top of climb was actually pretty good......
loved the daftness of the building under ground.
thought the chained mutha was ace too and utterly gross. defrosting the frozen killer was nice touch too.
look - this was a dumb trashy idea from the start - it was a way for a fledgling comic publisher to take a slice of the market off marvel and dc.
and anyway, look at pred 2 - real trash, real good. this was a predator movie, not an aliens movie. therefore it had to be trashy.
lapped it up i did.
but then i also admire booby sixkiller's wisecrackin too. (renegade's buddy) |
