How can this film be 8.4 on imdb ?
How can anybody see this shit as a great movie ? I'm only half-way and it's already unbearable.
"This" sequence (pic related) stands at a very high level of retardness.
Nothing makes sense, at all :
>team led by a newbie
>going in without any briefing or any kind of information
>little watching military operation (until dead corpses)
>suddendly realise they can't shoot
>still shoot when suddenly circled ("oh, they are everywhere", "let's say it again 20 times without moving at all")
>officer in charge in panic mode, starts whispering, anyway the black guy on field can't hear
>all cameras are fucking shit-tier form the 60s (muh scarry effects)
>we are being fed (ad nauseaum) since start about how bad-ass these jackass are supposed to be, end up being bellow starship troopers tier
I could go on far far longer. And i remember that what follows after this scene is as equally awful.
I mean i'm a huge SF fan, Scott's Alien is without a doubt a fantastic movie, but can't comprehend the praise for this cameron trash ?
Poorly written as usual, characters are mostly ridiculous, what the hell ?
Do people only remember the final scene with the duel against the alien queen ?
Explain to me how this is great SF...
Parents just don't understand.

Yet, they watched the movie which is exactly what the studios wanted. I don't know if people know this about James Cameron, but story isn't his forte, action and emotional characters are, as well as special effects, which for the 80's were pretty good. T2 wasn't a great story, it's something that's been told b4, just not in that way as a time traveling machine protecting a person who will grow up to be a hero, but forget that shit did you see that T-1000, that shit was off the hook.
> Cameron is Canadian and secretly Anti-American
> every movie he puts in dumb Americans and kills them all off
> he always makes the female the Alpha and all males as idiots.
apart from Cameron being a cuckold, Aliens is a satire on the stupidity of America in military situations.
its hilarious how no Americans can even see it.
same applies to Avatar.

Did see it, alot of obvious shots at the Vietnam War America entered
>The young marines that thought this would be easy
>Logos on their gear that were logos on alot of marines gear during Vietnam War
>Corporations having a hand in it and using marines to get inside Vietnam, b/c of raw materials and fighting against communism
>Underestimating the sneaky tactics of Viet-Cong, just like the xenos in movie
>Inexperienced officers leading attacks with much more experienced sgt. and corporals, b/c muh Westpoint
Yeah we got it, but who cared it was fun.

The word "girl" is missing i guess.

>no briefing
Besides the one they had before the day of prep-work?

You mean that scene where Ripley start talking about the alien and after litteraly 20s she is being cut cause the latin relief has her "bad-ass" line to throw ? "I only need to know one thing: where they are" pretend to shoot [insert laugh from the crew] etc.
Are we going to pretend they did study after that ? Then what did they learn ? And how the fuck can they enter a building without knowing it's a fusion reactor ?
0 briefing, apparently 0 training and the officer has 0 experience.
Anything is good to justify retarded action scene i guess...
