KattozillaJurassic World ForumSome of My “Far Out” Ideas about Dinosaurs

Raptors used their scythe claws to burrow by using their leg muscles to 'run in place' like old cartoons and scratch at the ground. then they would jump out and surprise their opponents.

Die-hard Spino FanSciFi Literature ForumActual Scientific Ways Space Travel Could Work

The protection could be people who are woken up periodically and let's say, stay awake for a year, then the next people are woken up and the person who was awake goes back into hibernation.

Well there is an actual way to hibernate. Doctors sometimes take out a patient's blood and put in chilled salt water (saline) to chill their bodyand put them to sleep to drastically decrease the risk of brain damage. If they create a program that will put their blood back and take the saline out in, let's say, 40 years, it might work.

DjdndnejwnwnGodzilla ForumJunkie XL's GVK score may have been bad, but one thing stands out

not for me.. it’s not the style even, it’s just the score itself feels cheaply and sloppily done for me

Honestly, I agree but even though it does feel out of place for this frankly mediocre score it works.

I notice that What Culture give AV the distinction of having the worst CGI effects in a sci-fi movie. I have to take issue with that, because the big boy looks ok for the most part. It was a brave move of Ridley to feature the monster in daylight.

The got the worst part wrong. That was when the beast decided to slip down from one deck to another. It made the dorsal projections look kind of flimsy.

Not really, It’s not my favorite. It suffers from the problems of the rest of the score. The entire score is decent, but not really what I want.

I meant LISTEN TO THAT LAST PART and know what I'm talking about.

I actually am very confused why Junkie didn't use THE REAL Godzilla theme

I did, and again, I said it didn’t completely work for me, it’s one of the better scores, but not my favorite

The soundtrack is meh but y'all are missing the point of the whole thing.  Look at what I wrote closely and TRY AGAIN

yes I would love to learn more about the Engineers and their relationship with the Xenomorphs

Move on with something new. In fact, skip a long theatrical release all together. It would likely have key parts left on the editing room floor for the sake of brevity resulting in a convoluted mess. Continue with a streaming series that can flesh out both characters and story over a season rather than two hours.

Wait isn't your reference from one of those Dinosaur anime?

CefenAlien: Covenant ForumWhich Alien suit was better? Alien (1979) or Aliens (1986)?

Greetings all, just found the site the other day after introducing my 19 year old daughter to Prometheus & AC (and the "Alien" universe in general) and was curious about the travel time/distance discussions.  Mind blowing stuff for astrophys postulations (for me at least) but after reading those talks, I branched out and saw this thread and got a little curious.

While I don't have a take one way or the other on the costumes, when it comes to the actual movies, I personally like the prequels better (and OG Aliens, c'mon "man"...Bill Paxton!) than the other OG 3 just because I enjoy "beginning" stories more, but you can't forget your origins so props to the originals (maybe not resurrection so much though imo).

Now we each have our own takes and opinions so I am just adding mine, not discrediting anyone else's and after reading these, I appreciate all the different pov brought forth.  So here is my thought, regarding the ability of David using the Engineers tech with it being so advanced (I know, off topic from the primary reason of this discussion), has anyone considered the appearance of the citizens (the non-militarized Engineers if you will) when David literally drops the bomb(s) on them as being an indicator of where they are, or want to be with their tech?

For me, taking their very basic attire, the general appearance of them and their surroundings and the tech usage the Engineers had in both films, their advancement as a species related to their level of technology could maybe have been a case of been there, done that, got the tshirt and now lets learn from our mistakes and maybe in some aspects of their technology, they chose to KISS due to inherent dangers of perhaps unchecked, or inability to check, tech/AI advancement.  Basically I am just theorizing that in their history, they could have advanced so far in some ways that through mistakes, perhaps some catastrophic, they learned to keep some things simple (from their pov) and perhaps reigned in their tech/AI a bit.

I just wondered about this due to their citizens general appearance in AC and just maybe, that is how their tech could possibly be manipulated by an advanced human AI that is roughly 80 years or so in our future.

Of course to serve the overall plot of a story some parts of it may need, or just have, a simple explanation, and perhaps this one is that, but if anyone has any opinions on this please share as this is a wonderfully thought provoking discussion.

Really enjoying the site, have a good one all.
