It's my own fault for not liking this movie as much as I should have. I expected Aliens quality movie with the best CGI ever. I only got the best CGI out of this. I also loved the final fight, however I thought there were just some hit or miss parts. Robot on Cat fight was definitely badass and awesome. Mosquito vs Flying Fortress not so much. Cat vs 10 Marines was badass and Awesome. Horses vs Robots not so much. You get the idea.

Also there was no scene that equaled "duct tape a flamethrower and a machine gun together" in epic proportions. That also let me down a little. Expected something awesome that was like Tech + Nature (like a gun which shoots feral panthers or something...), but I guess that's just my expectations getting ahead of the movie again.

Final Thoughts: Nothing ground breaking, even on the awesome scale (seriously, how CAN you top a creation such as Alien or Predator in terms of awesome, or a amachine gun + flamehrower), however freaking amazing detail in the CGI.

P.S. You can tell the furries in the crowd by the random orgasm noises during the movie, especially 2 hours in.

 

P.P.S I am now eagerly awating for Sherlock Holmes to fill in the awesomeness (albeit a different type of awesomeness) that this movie lacked. Sure it's not entirely true to SH but eh, it's amovie.

In my opinion the only film to get close to Aliens was District 9. It took everything great about that film and adapted it to another modern realistic allegory, Apartheid instead of Vietnam.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
