Aliens was more of an action movie, but still excellent in it's own way.
Then the series jumped off a cliff. End of story.
Uhg.
Anyway, now the cast is reprising their roles (digitally anyway) in the form of an upcoming video game titled Alien: Isolation that is to be set 15 years after the events of the first film. BUT... the missions including the original cast are only available if you pre-order the game (this will most likely change once the game has been out for a while, as happens frequently).
I for one am interested. Especially since they seem to be painstakingly attempting to recreate the visual style of the first film. From Wikipedia:
Though the game is set in the future, the technology depicted in the game is made to look as if it were designed in the 1970s in order to match the look of the first Alien film.[10] To accomplish this, the studio is emulating the creative processes used on the actual movie, and available at that time.[15] The game's artists studied Ron Cobb's original concept art and used tablet computer versions of his drawing implements.[16] In-game objects must be derived from items available to the film's production,[17][18] while computers have monochrome displays and simple line graphics.[19] To create period authentic distortion on in game monitors, the developers recorded their in game animations onto VHS and Betamax video recorders, then filmed those sequences playing on an "old curvy portable TV" while adjusting the tracking settings
COOL.
lol
