Extraterrestrial (2014)
Horror or comedy?
As James Cameron said "If you make a comedy it should be funny, if you make a horror that should be scary". Well this movie tried to be a horror but has become a comedy...
Poorly written story and dialogues. Poor direction and acting. Actors reactions were highly unrealistic to their experiences.
Sound effects were okay but overrated at some point. Visual effects were fine.
The creators clearly did not research the related subjects of the so called "UFO abductions" or "conspiracy theories" (the typical error with the ridicule-motivated movies in the genre).
AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem (2007)
Complete waste of money
The worst movie in the Alien/Predator categories. Due to the ending of the first AVP movie I was expecting a lot from this. I thought it is going to be great, well designed work, but after the first fifteen minutes I was so angry...
There are three main problems make this movie dog food.
Alien ship crashes. Predator general/boss/lord/squire/whatever watching transmitted CCTV records of the ship on Predator's planet, he saw the Predalien. He is in the hurry. The trouble is big. I was expecting he will call a few other well-trained Predators and they will go to Earth together. No, this guy says NOTHING and goes alone. Okay, I trust the guy, he's going to do something extraordinary.
Now he's on Earth in the forest where the ship went down. He makes a basic research in the ship then destroys the wreckage. Now it is clear for the audience probably he will destroy all the evidences. Then he's destroying corpses hit by the Alien. He's following them in the tunnel, cleaning after them. Then once he runs into a policeman watching him behind. He kills, skins the guy and pulls him up to a tree. That was when first I said to myself: "it's non-sense". He's so busy to hide everything then once he brutally kills someone and leaves the corpse where people will find it. The whole work before was waste of time. There were so many chances to make a good scene... (e.g. The policeman's keep following him, LONG TIME following him! He can see what he's doing and he has time to be in dread of Predator. Maybe the Predator can hear a noise in the forest on the front of him and he quickly turns the camouflage on. And now our guy is shaking, getting swallowing he's fist: "Mother of god." The Predator is seeking on the front of him for the noise, using the laser, still in camouflage. Our guy's starting to lose self-control, Predator can hear our guy's movement. The guy is trying to keep himself behind the tree, now the P. is seeking behind where our guy is. He can't see him yet because the tree. But our guy also can not see him in the camouflage. Predator is approaching the tree, our guy is still behind the tree and trying to stay in the opposite side where he believes the Predator is. Then NOW the radio VERY QUICKLY, the guy's keep turning scared, he looks behind but "somebody" is already waiting there. And NOW comes a blade.)
This is the first main problem with this movie: nobody is scared. Including the little approx. 6-year-old girl, who is actually a witness of her father's brutal murder? She sees AvP fights, dead bodies, a 'cheap woman' fixed to the wall by a star and there is no sign of mental trauma? If nobody is scared, the audience is also not scared. If the audience is not scared in a horror movie, the whole thing is waste of time and money.
So, Predator's moving on, killing Aliens, Predaliens by weapons, by hands - either simultaneously, then once he probably takes a look at his watch: "oops, end is coming, so now I need to drop weapons, mask
" and he begins a fight by hand with - probably not the last less significant Predalien. Why?
This is second main problem in this movie: nobody is thinking.
Fights: to fast, too dark, zoom is too in; camera is switching positions too often: opponents can not be tracked and distinguished well. When they're having a short break audience can maybe find out who got the last punch from the previous round.
There is a young woman who decides a jump from a guy to another as monkey from tree to tree in the Jungle. Then she fires the guy, reports it to the other one: "okay, my now I am ready". Is it the accepted way as people are doing over there? Was it necessary to set these people in 'positive' role in a movie that millions will see?
Then let's see the brutal scenes. Was it also really necessary to put pregnant women in a sci-fi horror movie and get killed like this?? Isn't there any feeling of human dignity too? Then the kid in the forest
awful
However created this movie, have a quite distorted vision or social ambient.
And this is the third main problem, the largest one in this movie: creators are also not thinking - which can be the cause of its failure in my eye.
This movie was a bin of rubbish; I am not going to buy it on DVD and probably my friends are also included.
There were 3 nice scenes too - but they're still not making this movie any better in my eye. The Alien and the father through the window, the human-eating-Alien gets a pike in the head, and the one at the power station Predator's walking on the bridge and the Predalien's following him quietly underneath.
Avoid this movie. :-(
