ChrisAlien: Earth ForumHonest first impressions of Alien: Earth

Okay, after finishing episode 2 my excitement for the series is already dwindling. I'm loving the practical sets and visual effects but as I originally feared when the series was announced – I'm worried they're trying to do too much with it. Also - when did actors forget they're robots?! The most convincing characters so far are Morrow and Kirsh, the rest just all blend into each other. And the soundtrack is killing momentum completely. Ironically, I loved Prometheus but everyone praised its visuals and complained about the acting and score and now here I am liking the show's visuals and hating on its acting and score lol... Ugh

ChrisAlien: Earth ForumThe Alien: Earth rock music feels very out of place…
It's not just you, the music completely took me out of both episodes, just ruined the vibe. I think i'm going through the stages of grief over this series, so far I am underwhelmed to say the least. Currently, i'm in denial... Honestly, Romulus is a masterpiece compared to this.

I guess everyone praising the series never actually watched an ALIEN film 😂 showing the beast in all its glory in the first few frames and transitioning with guitar / rock music is NOT on brand for the franchise. The music should be eerie, somewhat nonexistent at tense moments. Alien: Covenant did a much better job and even Romulus too for matching soundtrack with source material. Alien: Earth has some making up to do.

It got to be better than the prequels and Raised By Wolves where AI was featured lot. I can't watch it since I don't have the channel where they'll show it, but I hope that it'll be good.

I loved Raised by Wolves! 😂 It was different but certainly in the same vein as Prometheus which I enjoyed a lot. I was disappointed it got canceled.

I just finished episode 1 as well, heading into episode 2 now. I’m 50/50 so far, will digest more after I finish the second episode. I do like Kirsh as well, though. So far I think he’s my favorite character.

I'm 15 minutes into the second episode, and I have mixed feelings so far, though I am enjoying it.

The show looks beautiful, great cast and the acting is wonderful, but somehow it doesn't feel right. It looks like Alien, but I don't know how to explain it, it's like an off-brand Alien, if that makes any sense. I'm keeping an open mind, hopefully things will improve. 

I really like Kirsh (I knew I would, lol), though I find him slightly cruel. And I loved Noah Hawley's cameo as Wendy's father in the flashback.

Member posting bug fixed!! Sorry for the confusion folks, there was a subtle bug that was affecting member only posts, I tracked it down and blew it out the airlock!

Should be working great for you now! Emojis should also be working as well 🤟🏻

Puzzling why some replies are going through and some not - the emoji issue should be resolved. NCC - can you clarify if your post was TEXT only or if you tried to add any images / emojis / embeds, etc... ? Tracking these bugs down one by one - we'll nuke em all from orbit. Thanks for reporting any and all issues encountered!

Nicern*Edit: First commented with a smile emoji, and the comment disappeared. I then removed the emoji, and it appears ok now.

It's possible the site is fetching a cached version, can you hard refresh the site and try adding another reply with an emoji? 

If that doesn't work - please let me know what device you're using to post! Emoji worked fine from my iPhone mobile browser - I will check Android as well unless you're using a desktop.

Thank you for letting me know!

ChrisPredator: Badlands NewsTons of new footage shown in Predator: Badlands official trailer!
I am not a Predator fan, but this trailer has me really excited to watch the movie. Elle Fanning looks amazing as Thia. (Side note, the music for the trailer slaps, omg.) Also, I wonder if these guys are humans or Androids.

I think you're right - I think all those other "people" are actually Synths from the downed WY ship. Further confirmed when Dan mentioned there are no Humans in this movie - only human-looking characters - aka Androids. I'm loving this!

SvanyaAlien: Earth ForumAlien: Earth episode release dates
Initially the first episodes were going to drop at 8pm EST on August 12th, but I assume they switched it to 12am on the 13th? Unless they’re referring to a different timezone, I can’t see them getting their days confused on official marketing material… Yet they’ve been touting August 12th since it was announced. So I’m a bit puzzled.

My Disney+ says it airs around 2 am EST for me, the night of the 12th to 13th, so sorta confusing. Side note, all the episodes release on my birthday!!

Wha made me as a fan of Godzilla since I discovered myself and my very first movie was Godzilla vs Destroyah and it truly broke my heart when Godzilla death was around the corner and gave his body to his son and that is the reason why Godzilla will be and forever be my favorite movie to watch.
