The cast is frighteningly similar, with the exception of the lead female, whose role is changed a fair bit. Give it a look in man, it's up there with the Thing in terms of remakes. It doesn't break any new grounds or anything, but it's a good movie.Tristan Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10918418483849809705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28642767.post-68966111961416786252009-02-04T15:42:00.000-08:002009-02-04T15:42:00.000-08:00nope, never saw the NOTLD remake.

Before comic book censorship neutered them, the pre-Alien 3 books were some of my favourite comics. There were some ideas present in those that were similar to Ridley’s idea of where 5 would go, which was why I was keen to see it. <BR/>2) I hear ya! It might be fun for the sake of comparison, but I don’t think it’s going to Tristan Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10918418483849809705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28642767.post-15268528526062615402009-02-03T01:59:00.000-08:002009-02-03T01:59:00.000-08:001) I get what you are saying with the sequel as op...1) I get what you are saying with the sequel as opposed to remake idea and i agree with you, i just don't really feel passionate about it. Unless the original creators are involved, i don't get too excited about sequels (even then sometimes i don't). I have no problem with Ridley Scott doing an Aliens 5 since he created (or at least co-created) the whole thing but i heard what he was planning to malpracticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951567969857627623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28642767.post-8404084574816520712009-02-03T00:25:00.000-08:002009-02-03T00:25:00.000-08:00These are all really very valid points, and I'd be...These are all really very valid points, and I'd be arguing exactly the same things (and part of me still does) a couple of years ago. I'll address the Alien 5/Predator 3 thing first. My main complaint is that this isn't really all that different from what was originally proposed for a third Predator movie. It's just a cheaper, less inventive version, and palming it off as reboot is laziness.
