Model Forum / General / Models / September 2004alien vs predator
i've seen some kits...made me wonder, anyone waste $8 to see it? it seemed to come and got very quickly. > i've seen some kits...made me wonder, anyone waste $8 to see > it? it seemed to come and got very quickly. I did. And I liked it. But I have an odd take on it. I'm not a "basement of the science building, wait in line for a week to buy tickets type", but I have read the 4 books and have and have seen all 4 movies and I actually like all of them. I've never even seen the comic books and have only seen a little of the Geiger illustrations. Canon for me is the movies. Basically it's as slickly done as any of the others. It doesn't have the impact of the first movie (I still remember seeing it when it came out and being scared poopless) but it has big ugly monsters the do mean ugly things. It is consistent with the rest of the series and the cross breeding with Predator. And I like the series, it's one of the few movies where I look forward to other chapters in the story. The beasts represent perfect evil, no negotiation, no quarter. Pay your money, eat your popcorn and enjoy. >> i've seen some kits...made me wonder, anyone waste $8 to see >> it? it seemed to come and got very quickly.

IIRC There's two Predator and three Alienz. And now of course I've gotta enter "Alien v Predator" into my onboard database to fuzz things up a bit more. tia, The Keeper (of too much crap!) >>books and have and have seen all 4 movies and I >>actually like all of them.

Thanks, The Keeper (of too much crap!) > i've seen some kits...made me wonder, anyone waste $8 to see > it? it seemed to come and got very quickly. Yup. It wasn't wasted though. The movie was quite enjoyable if somewhat unmemorable. Like most summer fare, you gotta go into 'em expecting that. Cool visuals, serviceable script, acceptable acting. You might ask for more, but you shouldn't insist. Mike >> i've seen some kits...made me wonder, anyone waste $8 to see >> it? it seemed to come and got very quickly.

Harry Potter? You gotta be kidding! Or you got big cajones. RobG > >> i've seen some kits...made me wonder, anyone waste $8 to see > >> it? it seemed to come and got very quickly.
