Ripley have acidic blood?)

window. The baby is sucked
into it, and slowly torn apart
as it is pulled out into space,
screaming for his mommy all
the while, even reaching out
with his arms towards her, and
Ripley doing nothing to soothe
the poor child or save him.
Then, the big ship arrives

the Un-mommy talk a bit about

Thus end the Alien movies.

guy made all four. But even that
isn’t that noticeable - probably
because the soundtracks back
then weren’t made to be as fluid
and weren’t as important in
movies as they are now.
The plot is paper-thin, and it’s
mostly just people running for
their lives, but that doesn’t
make it any less fun to watch
because despite that, it
doesn’t get boring. I think that,
considering that the first Alien
movie came out 35 years ago,
they can easily be considered
‘timeless’. And that’s a feat few
movies manage to achieve.
Enter the Alien vs Predator
movies.

Now here’s two movies I’m
even more a fan of. I saw the
first Alien vs Predator movie
three times in the cinema, and
watched it every day for two
whole weeks when it came out
on dvd. By now, I must have
seen it over a hundred times.
I admit, I saw the second a lot
less, even if it is more fun and
raises more interesting theories
about both Aliens and Predators
than the first movie. The second
movie is forever ruined by the
ending, for me.
Movie one starts in 2004
(making it well over a century
before the actual Alien-movies
start taking place) with a

The music is creepy or loud, and
not melodic like soundtracks
are nowadays. Each Alien
movie’s soundtrack was made
by a different composer. I think
that’s a shame, since it would’ve
been more of a unity had one

The movies are old, and it
shows when you compare the
technology used in it to the
technology we now have, and
when you look at the special
effects and everything (and
the fashion…). But for its time,
it was the top of the bill. And
despite it being old technology,
it really doesn’t get old. You
don’t miss the effects we
now have. The Aliens worked
perfectly for the movies, even if
the movements were a little stiff
here and there.
