So
this past Friday (10/24, not 10/31 ... because
I'm retarded and forgot to finish this review
last weekend), I got a chance to go see a
sneak of the re-released sci-fi classic "Alien",
this time, with some footage never seen before
in the "Director's Cut". It's been
a good six or seven years since I last saw
this movie, but even so I saw a few changes
here and there. Still one of the best sci-fi
movies I've ever seen.
However ... something I saw that intrigued
me. In the scene where they first enter the
ship with all the eggs, there's some being
sitting in a giant chair. Seeing it last night,
I noticed something I'd never noticed before. |
I thought for sure it was changed, in this release
...
So naturally I get home and pull out my original
tape, from the 1979 release. And I checked that
scene. Just about blew my mind.
The being sitting in that giant chair ... is
unmistakeably, a Predator. I had thought they
maybe changed it to tie in the upcoming AvP movie.
But it looks like this "battle" has
been planned from the beginning. That's so awesome!
Beyond that, I won't bother writing a detailed
review. If you've seen the original, you already
know what happens ... and if you've got the 20th
anniversary release of Alien on DVD, or the Alien
Legacy box set on DVD, you can see all the added
scenes (plus a few more) by checking out the "Deleted
Scenes" section. And if you haven't seen
the original ... well than shame on you. Get your
ass to the nearest showing.
Oh yeah, they had a quick teaser of the Alien
vs. Predator movie too. Despite the "hard
core" Alien and / or Predator fans ... I'm
extremely excited about this movie. Check it out
at avp-film.com
There's not much there yet, but you can see the
teaser, as well as a short behind the scenes documentary
which hints at some of the content in the movie. |
