what I loved about this movie is that although Ripley is the main character, they didn't over-focus on her. They allowed all the supporting side characters to develop their specific arcs. We got to see each character's attributes, attitudes, and personalities. As the movie progressed, Ripley's role progressed. Really good bit of storytelling.

The only reason Vasquez died in the movie was she ran out of rifle ammo. She probably would have held out and survived (a long with Goreman) if she had additional ammo. When she had to pull out the pistol, she got in trouble (still killed a few though before her and Goreman blew each other up).

(Thanks Ridley!) But there are no movies of this quality nowadays. They took time to suck you in (remember the first few minutes of ALIEN 1979? No words for a very long time, just camera panning, tasting every carefully weathered surfaces, hard and cold, soft and hot). The director achieved visual masterpiece (I guess, thanks Ridley!), a piece of cinematographic art. I have the feeling Hollywood does not care about art anymore. The movies nowadays are products to be consumed by customers, their content strictly defined by marketing department, people infected by politics, business strategists.....all but true ARTISTS. People with unending passion for their work, exceptional talents who crave to show their stories in a new and bold way. Not to satisfy KPI's or shareholders, but for the sake of creating art, part of culture which will be remembered for decades.

All that running and yelling when they load on the drop ship - and drop - pretty much - no. The impression I've gained is that they're mostly quiet and mentally focused on their jobs. Hicks falling asleep - it probably the most realistic. The chatter by the air crew is OK. The other thing is - they show these guys chambering rounds before they board the drop ship. That is typical Hollywood. You would not want to chamber a round until you were about to land because an accidental discharge could have a negative effect on the drop. How negative would depend on what it hit - but - putting a hole in a space ship when you don't have enclosed helmets and space suits - would not be a good thing. Being in an APC you might not have a penetration of the drop ship - but - if the round didn't penetrate the APC - it might just bounce around inside it - which would also not be a good thing. .

[@BobSmith-dk8nw]

@@hoppy6437 I didn't mention that this is a very good film. So - my remarks about it's inaccuracies are just for the purpose of pointing out when something is Hollywood rather than real. You're always going to have problems with reality in a movie like this - because - it's in the script that the unit will be destroyed by the Aliens - the only question is - how are they going to do it. As good as this movie is - and I really liked it - this operation was set to fail from the get go - when they only assigned one squad to it. That - and the idea that there was no crew to their space ship was absurd. Here - the Aliens are represented as an unstoppable force - when they were not really all that tough. On the Nostromo - in _Alien_ - their acid based blood was a problem in that it could eat through the ship - but then - all the crew had to do was don space suits and blow the thing to hell. Then patch up the holes. But - that is common place among monster movies - in that it isn't so much that the monster is a total bad ass - as the humans it is killing are stupid. .

The are two actual marines in this movie. Everyone knows the first, but the actor who played Crowe, Tip Tipping, was a real life Marine....a Royal Marine and later a member of 21st SAS Regiment. He died in a parachute accident in Northumberland in 1993. His career outside the armed forces, was that of stuntman. Apparently he was born with an extra measure of courage... RIP Crowe.

I can rewrite all the scripts for this movie. I have seen it more then 150 times, and not just the threater version but the special edition with the added parts.

[@spaceman081447]

I love how controlled and professional the dropship pilot Corporal Ferro is.

[@MrAndyBearJr]

Yep. She even reacted offensively by trying to draw her pistol when the alien surprised her in the cockpit of her dropship. No high pitched terrified screaming or freezing up, but reacting like the badass marine she was trained to be.

[@siroliver5434]

Ditto. Afterwards, anytime I heard a Starcraft dropship report-in, it made me think of her. She also influenced my playstyle in Apex legends team communication.

Redley Scott, James Cameron, David Fincher - each of them created a masterpiece. On the one hand the movies fit perfectly together, on the other hand the handwriting of each director is perfectly recognizable.

Can you agree with me that Cameron did it best?

Alien 3 gets the Highlander Sanction. It doesn’t exist.

You take the sleep when you can. 40 hours straight out high alert grants you this talent. People trying to kill you makes it easy. Sometimes you sleep 30 minutes and wake up a new man or woman. Sometimes you sleep 9 straight hours and wake up feeling like shit. Personally... I automatically wake up every hour. If I feel like shit... I give it another hour... unless someone is trying to kill me. My record is 60 hours, functional... 10 more, dangerous to myself and others. Went down for 4 hours and woke like a champ. It happens.
