Life : Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

What a waste of time and money. Come on Hollywood,try using those so called big brains of yours and give us some original for Christ's sake!

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

I know right? I just saw the trailer, it screams yet another Alien ripoff. Most people have no originality whatsoever.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Especially those who rush to judge a film based on a trailer. Never seen that before.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

But it is way too familiar.
"What if we make a movie similar to the Alien, but MORE realistic, that's modern right?"

"Yes, make, here 100 million dollars, get the hottest celebrities and actors at this moment."

"What if cells on a microscope plate can drag a grown man's arm towards itself? that's realistic!"


"Yes man."

-*Inserting random phrase by famous madman/idiot that makes me feel intelligent*-

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Trailers show the best scenes, so yeah, Alien ripoff writter all over this movie, worthless piece of plagiarism. You would also understand this obnoxious fact, if you had a brain.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Nowadays people judge and criticize films based on only a trailer, then they have theirs minds made up about the film before seeing it. Sometimes they refuse to see it because they hated the trailer and cried RIPOFF, which is SO ignorant.

"Condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance" - Albert Einstein. Something that rings very true these days.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Nowadays you go to a store and refuse to buy everything there, because you cry you have to try it out first or read the details 1st, to have an idea, which is SO ignorant.

Nowadays you go to a car stand and refuse to buy every car there all of the sudden, because you cry you have to read the details 1st, to have an idea, which is SO ignorant.

Like I said, a trailer shows the best scenes, of course it requires a brain in order to think, if you don't have a brain, you won't be able to think, but I do have a brain, so I can think for myself, I can watch a trailer like this, which gives me an idea if the movie is good or not, worth my time or not, just as I can go to the internet and look up a bunch of movies, choose one before I spend 2 or 3 hours watching one of them, to read reviews, IMDB scores, and know if the movie is good or not, that way I can avoid bad movies and find true gems that are worth my time.

A movie like this IS a cheap Alien ripoff, if you had a brain, you could tell that just by watching the trailer. Not to see it's a ripoff is SO ignorant.

What do you have against trailers anyway? This is a way for them to be useful to the viewers.

Contrary to your ignorant point, I don't have to watch entire movies before I judge them. I can judge them without watching them. I go on IMDB and see movies like Sharknado or whatever have scores of 1, 2 or 3.3. I NEVER watched such a weak movie and I never will. Thank God for IMDB and trailers. What part don't you get? It's not rocket science.

What are you doing here? Go watch Sharknado, without judging it 1st. Go have a bad time watching a bad movie.

Nowadays people judge and criticize Sharknado based on only a trailer, then they have theirs minds made up about the film before seeing it. Sometimes they refuse to see it because they hated the trailer and cried RIPOFF, which is SO smart.

Hahaha

I didn't have to see the trailer for Sharknado, the title already told me everything I needed to know: not my kind of movie.

You would THINK the trailer would show the best parts of the movie, but that's not necessarily true and would, in fact, be stupid because if all you had to do was see the trailer to see the best parts of the movie, then people would save $15 and 2ish hours and never see the movies. I do need to point out that sometimes those marketing people are MORONS. Remember the trailers for Red Eye? The trailer ACTUALLY HAD Cillian Murphey's eyes red. Now I'm sure it was just a play on the title, Red Eye, but it begged the question, is this a supernatural movie? Well, it WASN'T a supernatural movie, and it basically false advertised and people who were expecting a supernatural movie were disappointed and those who didn't like supernatural movies avoided it. I thought the movie was a good thriller/suspense, until the plane landed and the movie followed every single horror movie cliche in the book to the letter. Sigh. Too bad. My point is, the trailer is a VERY good start at deciding if you want to watch a movie, but it isn't the end all. For instance, while the trailer for Logan looked good, all the comments from the director (and the fact that he did the disappointing The Wolverine) and comments from Jackman actually have me turned off from seeing the movie.

Personally, I'm interested in seeing what they are going to do with Life. I haven't completely decided I'm going to see it, but I AM intrigued. And the fact that Hiroyuki Sanada is in it helps :)


I keep my expectations low -- then I can be pleasantly surprised.

Re: Hahaha


I didn't have to see the trailer for Sharknado, the title already told me everything I needed to know: not my kind of movie.


It's not about your kind of movie or personal preferences, it's about quality, Sharknado is a bad quality movie, that's not subjective to preferences.


You would THINK the trailer would show the best parts of the movie, but that's not necessarily true


It happened with every trailer I watched, it's a business tactic. Of course they are going to show the best parts of the movie in the trailer, because they are trying to sell a product, this is a basic concept to all types of products in advertisement. In people as well. When a person meets another person and they start to talk, at first they are only going to say or "advertise" their best qualities, not the bad ones, obviously. Same happens with trailers and movies, duh.


and would, in fact, be stupid because if all you had to do was see the trailer to see the best parts of the movie, then people would save $15 and 2ish hours and never see the movies.


You totally miss the point, a trailer is just a preview of the movie with the best parts, a "try before you buy" thing. Seeing only the best scenes is not enough, anyone who wants to see a movie, wants to see the whole movie, not just the best parts. Do sports lovers, fans, watch full matches live on TV (or at the stadium), or just the highlights?


Remember the trailers for Red Eye? The trailer ACTUALLY HAD Cillian Murphey's eyes red. Now I'm sure it was just a play on the title, Red Eye, but it begged the question, is this a supernatural movie? Well, it WASN'T a supernatural movie, and it basically false advertised and people who were expecting a supernatural movie were disappointed and those who didn't like supernatural movies avoided it.


What? I've just watched the trailer for Red Eye on IMDB (I've never watched the movie), but Cillian's eyes are never red in the trailer. What are you talking about?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421239/

I'm not even sure what your point is, if you wanna watch a movie like Red Eye, all you have to do is open IMDB for example, see the type of movie it is, read a short description, comments by users, if you want to have an idea about what the movie is all about, if it's supernatural or not....

Just by watching the trailer and reading its page on IMDB, I see nothing that indicates it would be a supernatural movie, I don't know where you got that crazy idea from lol.

Furthermore, when you say things like "supernatural" movies, oh boy lol. What's even that? It's not a category like drama, sci-fi, comedy, action. It's very vague. Movies of all categories can have little supernatural elements. If you say supernatural means the same as fantasy, so many movies have fantasy elements in them. Fantasy as in unreal. In fact, even sci-fi movies that try to be as realistic as possible, still have flaws in it that can be considered fantasy, as opposed to real or realistic.


until the plane landed and the movie followed every single horror movie cliche in the book to the letter. Sigh. Too bad.


So your point was you didn't like Red Eye? U weren't clear. Please never write movie reviews! Lol... Or if you do, at least get better at going straight to the point and not being so vague, confusing (like women usually are lol)


My point is, the trailer is a VERY good start at deciding if you want to watch a movie


Great, then you agree with my previous comment. Everything is wonderful in the world.


, but


Oh lord, there's always a but (or a butt). Ppl are never satisfied only with the good parts....


but it isn't the end all


???????????


For instance, while the trailer for Logan looked good, all the comments from the director (and the fact that he did the disappointing The Wolverine) and comments from Jackman actually have me turned off from seeing the movie.


I've watched the trailer for Logan, it looks good, but the movie isn't out yet I think, only next year. James Mangold? What are you talking about?!?!? He's a great director, that's a seal of quality right there, the director.

He directed one of my favorite movies ever, Copland, what makes me think I would enjoy Logan even more, since he directed it.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118887/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_13

He also directed Walk the Line, which I've watched and really enjoyed, good movie, about Johnny Cash's life. 7.9 rating on imdb, great rating.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0358273/?ref_=nm_knf_t1

He also directed Girl, Interrupted, which I've never watched but it's a very well known hit, with 7.3 rating which is also quite good.

All this should tell you a lot about a director, he directed many great movies, making him a great director.

I don't have a clue why Wolverine disappointed you, but judging only by its score on IMDB, 6.7, also a good score.

Comments from Jackman turned you off from seeing the movie? What comments? I don't know what you are talking about. He badmouthed his own movie? I doubt it.

I never said a trailer is everything. My point is a trailer is one of the things that can help someone decide if they want to watch a movie or not, but there are other things that can also help, like googling about the movie, reading its IMDB page, reading comments from other people, reviews, opinions from friends, etc.


Personally, I'm interested in seeing what they are going to do with Life. I haven't completely decided I'm going to see it, but I AM intrigued. And the fact that Hiroyuki Sanada is in it helps :)


Sure ok, if you find that guy hot and let your sexual desires guide you... Lol. Everything about plagiarism just pisses me off.

Wow.

I think you need to read what constitutes plagiarism. The fact that the movie is in space and has an Alien in it does not constitute plagiarism. The alien didn't even attack a face or jump out of a torso. There were such movies before Alien, and I'm sure you aren't saying Alien itself is plagiarized. Very few things now are completely original, most of the originality comes from the how.

First yes, what you are writing about is very subjective to personal preferences. The fact that there are now, what, 5 Sharkando movies out there shows that there is a market. What some people think is quality is different what others think, and what some people might think are positive qualities in a person (like aggression) might not be considered positive to others or just might not be appropriate. Aggression in football is good. Aggression in a counselor is not good. And of all my favorite movies, the best parts wouldn't fit into a 2 minute trailer. It would take a much, much longer trailer. If all the best parts of your favorite movies fit into that short a time span, then I pity you.

Really? We're going to quibble about terms? Supernatural over fantasy? There are categories and sub categories. And yes, genres can even have elements of other genres. And there are elements and genres and sub categories that people prefer less or more than others or won't even bother with. What is considered "supernatural" varies dependent on personal preferences and/or belief systems, but since humans (not even albinos) don't have glowing red eyes like Cillian Murphey did in the teaser trailer -- what other conclusion is to be drawn but there is some supernatural element going on? I'm sorry you couldn't find that trailer, but it was a teaser trailer for Red Eye that actually had Murphey's eyes glowing red. I can't remember if it was a trailer I saw on tv or in the theater though. You know there are usually several different versions of trailers, right? That the ONE trailer on the IMDB page for Red Eye didn't have what I was referring to doesn't mean I'm crazy or imagining things.

"so vague, confusing (like women usually are lol)"

WOW. So what did I say that was confusing? "I thought the movie was a good thriller/suspense, until the plane landed and the movie followed every single horror movie cliche in the book to the letter. Sigh. Too bad." This isn't clear that I thought the movie stunk? WAS GOOD UNTIL wasn't clear? Your gender bias doesn't excuse poor reading skills.

Good. I'm glad you agree that viewing a movie's trailer is a good place to start, but isn't the end all. "End all" means definitive -- something I think most people would gather from context or minimum google the term. But you did say the trailer had "Alien ripoff writter all over this movie, worthless piece of plagiarism. You would also understand this obnoxious fact, if you had a brain." That anyone with a brain would see Life is a worthless piece of plagiarism -- just from the trailer. I have a brain, even if I say so myself, and I don't see the plagiarism or think it is worthless. It might be a bad movie, but that's not the vibe I'm getting from the trailer even if you are. And you are welcome to your opinion, but opinions are stronger when substantiated with facts.

Jackman didn't bad mouth his own movie (although actors have and do). You really need to work on your reading skills. How did you take my word "comments" and immediately come up with the word "bad mouth?" Again, people have different ideas of what constitutes good and bad, and what he and Mangold are touting as a positive for the movie isn't a positive for me. Difference of opinion and preferences here.

Even good directors have bad movies, or movies that people didn't like. I'm not saying it's impossible, but most people do not like EVERYTHING their favorite actor/director has made. If that applies to you that's awesome. Enjoy, but you are in the minority. I liked Mangold's Kate and Leopold. I enjoyed his 3:10 to Yuma. I did not like The Wolverine and I do not like what he is saying his vision of Logan is to be.

I don't think you're actually interested or care why I thought The Wolverine was disappointing (marginally better than the other Wolverine movies but that really doesn't say much, but I'm happy to tell you if you really are interested.

Which brings me to:

"Sure ok, if you find that guy hot and let your sexual desires guide you... Lol."

WOW again. Could it be I actually think the man can act? Could it be I've liked a lot of the stuff he's been in? The only person thinking about sexual desires here is you.


I keep my expectations low -- then I can be pleasantly surprised.

Re: You keep changing the subject!


I think you need to read what constitutes plagiarism. The fact that the movie is in space and has an Alien in it does not constitute plagiarism. The alien didn't even attack a face or jump out of a torso. There were such movies before Alien, and I'm sure you aren't saying Alien itself is plagiarized. Very few things now are completely original, most of the originality comes from the how.


No I don't, I know better than you probably, alien clones or alien ripoffs like this one, are full of plagiarism, guess what, rippoff = plagiarism, stolen ideas = plagiarism, funny how I wasn't the only one to notice this is an Alien ripoff, the original poster as well, and more ppl, I wonder why!!!!!!!!!!!


First yes, what you are writing about is very subjective to personal preferences. The fact that there are now, what, 5 Sharkando movies out there shows that there is a market. What some people think is quality is different what others think, and what some people might think are positive qualities in a person (like aggression) might not be considered positive to others or just might not be appropriate.

If all the best parts of your favorite movies fit into that short a time span, then I pity you.


So your point now is that Sharknado with a rating of 3.3 is a quality movie? Lol. I never said ALL the best parts. I said simply the best parts. U need to work on your reading skills. Don't complicate everything so much. What now, your point is that they add the worst parts to the trailer? Because fluck logic? Because they want to sabotage their own movie? LOL that makes a lot of sense... NOT!


What is considered "supernatural" varies dependent on personal preferences and/or belief systems


No it does not lol. A ghost is supernatural for EVERYONE. An alien is supernatural for EVERYONE. A vampire, a werewolf, fairies, are supernatural for EVERYONE. Does not vary. If you say something natural like say a flower, the Sun, or the grass is supernatural, what does that make of you???? LOL


I'm sorry you couldn't find that trailer, but it was a teaser trailer for Red Eye that actually had Murphey's eyes glowing red.


I didn't say you lied or are crazy. I'd just like to watch said trailer, so I could comment better on the red eyes, this way it's hard to comment something I didn't watch. I'm not sure if it was just a filter, or graphical manipulation to emphasize that part, or had a supernatural meaning.


WOW. So what did I say that was confusing?


Lol what did you say that wasn't confusing and vague? It's not gender bias, call it accurate perception of reality. Well you didn't rate the movie overall, you never said if you liked it or not. You only said that after the plane landed, you didn't like it was too predictable, but sounds like you enjoyed the part before the plane landed better, so you never said if you liked the movie as a whole or not. If u give it a 5 out of 10, a 3 or a 7. I'm not going to quibble about terms but it boggled my mind how you watch a movie like that one and don't even know what's it about, don't even know if it's supernatural or something else.

Let me imitate you. U go to a restaurant and the waiter asks u what u want to eat:

Waiter: Good evening madam, what would you like to eat? Salmon or chicken wings?

U: Hmmmmmmm I love me some chicken wings so I'll go for the salmon.

Waiter (confused): OOOoookkkaay??

He brings u what u asked, salmon.

Waiter: Here u go, fresh salmon from the woods.

U start to eat and then u go like:

U: Omg ewwwwww I hate salmon, I thought this was gonna have chicken wings, just as I thought Red Eye was supernatural but they made me watch something not supernatural cuz his eye was not red anymore. But, of couuuuurse, my logic and me are not confusing AT ALL! Yeah right.


something I think most people would gather from context or minimum google the term


WOW really?!? Is this what your boyfriend or husband has to put up with everyday? Lol. Poor guy. Are you really this picky, dramatic, confusing, bitchy?

Well, 2 things are required actually, a brain and good moral principles. Most people don't have good moral principles at all. They don't care about plagiarism, I do. I think plagiarism makes the world a worse place and we must fight against it.


Jackman didn't bad mouth his own movie (although actors have and do). You really need to work on your reading skills. How did you take my word "comments" and immediately come up with the word "bad mouth?" Again, people have different ideas of what constitutes good and bad, and what he and Mangold are touting as a positive for the movie isn't a positive for me. Difference of opinion and preferences here.


Lol again the same insult? Well then you need to work on your writing skills.

I asked you what did he say, since you talked about his comments. Well isn't this a big mystery? After 2 big comments, you dance around the subject but still didn't say or post link about what Mangold and Jackman said about the movie that you think is negative but they think is positive.


I don't think you're actually interested or care why I thought The Wolverine was disappointing (marginally better than the other Wolverine movies but that really doesn't say much, but I'm happy to tell you if you really are interested.


There you go, beating around the bush again. Just spit it out already. Why did the Wolverine and his big claws disappoint you? For many years I've been kind of a X-Men fan, in their comic book variety, so go ahead. Also, you forgot to close a ")", what made your confusing text even more confusing to understand. Again, you need to work on your writing skills lol ahhh revenge, is a dish better served cold.


I keep my expectations low -- then I can be pleasantly surprised.


Oh, this is your signature here? Lol I thought it was part of your 1st comment. Now I know.


WOW again. Could it be I actually think the man can act? Could it be I've liked a lot of the stuff he's been in? The only person thinking about sexual desires here is you.


The way you 1st talked about him, your tone, etc. said a lot about how you "admire" him. I was not thinking about sexual desires but I like to be upfront, I know how women think and how they try to hide sexual desires at all costs. I'll be honest and tell u why I didn't attack u too much about that guy, because I put myself in your shoes. There are a couple of actresses I also think are very pretty, sweet (not just sexually), like Elisabeth Shue for example. Kinda hot too. So I didn't judge you too hard because I also can feel a little attracted to some actresses, I'm only human and I have eyes.

Wow again.

I'm not going to define any more terms for you. If you want to know definitions, look them up. But you clearly don't understand what plagiarism is. If plagiarism occurred as much as you claim, there'd be more than a few more lawsuits. IMDB even says this movie is "inspired" by Alien. Inspired could mean a lot of things. I heard 50 Shades of Grey was "inspired" by Twilight. I have no direct knowledge of this as I abstained from 50 Shades of Grey (books and movie) and after reading Twilight (one of the worst books I ever read in my life) and didn't continue with the rest of the series, but I do know that Twilight had vampires and 50 Shades of Grey does not. But the basics of there's a guy and a girl are the same. If we counted how many movies, books, shows, etc had a guy and a girl in it we'd have to be reincarnated or live forever to continue counting. And sometimes what inspires people is so far from what it inspired it's hard for most to see how something was inspired. This does not mean stolen ideas nor that it is automatically a rip off. I think brains and morals are important too, and I think that people do have morals but they differ from ours. That's one of the reasons we have laws, so everyone has a minimum standard of morals to adhere to. And there would be lawsuits if those laws are even perceived as being broken. Hollywood is sue happy.

For all the people screaming this is an Alien rip off, there are others saying it looks like a good SciFi thriller, or a space horror movie, or whatever. Your argument isn't very supported. Is Life similar to Alien? Yes. It is a movie in space, and there's at least one alien, and the alien appeared to be attacking a human. So far that is all we know. I guess Star Wars and Star Trek are all rip offs of Alien. Oh, wait, perhaps Alien is a rip off of them because Alien came out years after Star Wars and decades after Star Trek. Hopefully you can see the logic.

The trailer is supposed to intrigue people to watch the movie. People covers a lot of territory and as people like different things, what is "the best parts" probably won't be the same for everyone. I'm glad you don't think ALL the best parts are in the trailer, because that would be sad. I don't think trailers only have "best parts" as it were because it's trying to get people interested and invested. If it's for a mystery the trailer usually tries to get you curious, and perhaps some exposition is involved (not usually a BEST PART) and if it's action the trailer is usually trying to get you to understand the purpose of the action and why you'd be interested. If it is your experience that trailers only have the best parts of movies even if it's not ALL the best parts of movies, then I have to wonder how many trailers you have seen. And yes, there are good trailers for lousy movies and lousy trailers for good movies. Sometimes trailers have scenes that don't even make it to the final cut of the movie. Other times trailers are edited and of course, due to the editing the scene is different in the movie. I did not change the subject, I am still arguing with you regarding your assessment/comments/judgments on trailers.

The IMDB rating is not the end all of rating systems. And yes, opinions vary regarding quality. The fact that Sharkando has that many movies says something. You and I may not agree what that something means to the people who apparently love that movie/series. Most of the time, even in the WORST movies, I have found at least ONE positive to say (although there are some I can't even say that about). Perhaps it's a "it's so bad it's good," a concept I personally have never understood but some people feel that way. Frequently movies win Oscars that I think are awful. But the concept of "quality" is subjective. Camera people were horrified when the director of Pitch Black wanted over exposure to the film. To them, that was poor quality. To the director, that was the effect he wanted. Who is right? If the effect worked for you seeing the film, the director made a quality production. If it didn't, someone screwed up/made a mistake and made a poor quality film. That is the point I am trying to make.

Yes, what constitutes supernatural is subjective. Witches. Supernatural or not? Ever heard of the belief system Wicca? Witches are not supernatural. Just one case in point.

Ok, to use your waiter logic. Do I want chicken wings or salmon? I want chicken wings but these have BBQ sauce and I don't like that. I'll take the garlic and lemon salmon, thank you. Sounds logical and clear to me. If I didn't like the salmon, it was because instead of it being garlic and lemon salmon, it was actually lemon pepper, and I don't like pepper. Again, sounds logical and clear to me. I said Red Eye was good until it followed every cliche in the book to the letter and then said, too bad. Sounds logical and clear to me. And ever hear the phrase "the end ruined the movie?" And since when was it necessary that people commenting on a movie they liked or not have to put in a rating? I understood you liked Alien and you never gave a rating on it.

I didn't say I went into the theater to watch Red Eye expecting a supernatural movie and didn't get one. I said some people did. I actually saw more than one trailer for the movie, first the red eyed one which had me wondering if it might be supernatural, and then another which didn't have the red eye. Huh, I wondered, and so I went into the movie prepared for either way. Again, there are lousy trailers and good trailers and the movie can still be quite a surprise either way.

I'm confusing because I used a term you weren't familiar with, and instead of gathering the meaning from context or looking the word up, you posted back ??????????. But yes, apparently I'M the dramatic one. How is it my fault that you apparently don't know every single word or term in the English language, or, more importantly and realistically, you can't bother to find it out? Or even politely ask what it means. This is not me trying to insult you. This is me questioning a person going around saying "anyone with a brain" who can't bother to look up a word or a term he happens to be unfamiliar with. If you ask a rocket scientist about how a rocket works, are you going to say he's being confusing or rude because he uses terms you don't know? But I wouldn't blame him for getting cranky with you when you do tell him he's being confusing or dramatic using words you don't know instead of politely asking, what does that mean? But sure, pity my poor husband or boyfriend (I could be lesbian you know). I can tell you that any partner is polite and respectful -- just as that person would expect me to be polite and respectful.

You are actually interested in what Jackson and Mangold had to say? And my thoughts on The Wolverine? Mostly it looked like you just wanted to rant (and get off topic, but apparently I'M the one getting off topic/changing the subject?). I was citing them as examples, not trying to write a dissertation on them -- that's for those specific boards I would think. And you're going to pick on a few typos? Really? Even professionally edited books have those. I didn't pick on you typing "writter" instead of written because I understand typos happen. Savor your "revenge" if that's what makes you happy.

Fine. Let's go completely off topic then:

Mangold is quoted as saying he wanted to make Little Miss Sunshine with violence, and so the studios gave him leave to do it. Yes, apparently Logan is Little Miss Sunshine with violence. Yikes. I didn't understand the acclaim of the movie, and to me, it was full of really stupid people. Not a fan of the movie or the concept of stupid people in my movies. I'm also concerned that the both he and Jackman are pushing the R rated violence and language in the film. Sigh. As if the only thing wrong with the awful Wolverine movies was the PG 13 rating. NOT.

The Wolverine:
Overall gripes: The only good Japanese characters in the movie were the two women but the movie is set in Japan. Um, really? A crazy grandfather, a filicidal father, a deviant/perverted fiancé, and a crazy ex boyfriend who sees the light only at the very end, and I'm wondering, we couldn't have had ONE decent main male Japanese character, in the whole country of Japan? No of course not. Sigh. Then there's the wasted character of Viper. A villainess basically there to walk around in a catsuit and look sexy with some threatening dialogue here and there. I don't know if the actress has any acting chops to do much else, but she wasn't given the chance.

Wolverine gripes:
I understand there are two schools of thought now regarding the character of Wolverine. One is he is a violent berserker who pretty much depends on his healing factor (and the protection of his adamantium skeleton) to help him survive his unthinking charges into a fight. The other, the one I like, is that Wolverine is a very experienced fighter with the other mutant abilities of heightened smell, hearing, and stealth. A character who deeply believes in live and let live but also just as deeply believes in morals and ethics and justice and will fight to the death to protect them. So yeah, if a fight is needed, he is there and he will do whatever it takes to win it, but he also has a brain and he uses it. He's also not fond of pain but he doesn't shy from it either. SOOOO, please explain to me, why he goes charging up the MIDDLE of the village in The Wolverine and gets taken down by 50 arrows? Look, I understand overwhelming numbers. But have him sniff out the enemy and stealthily take out a few before they overwhelm him? Wolverine THINKS. I also didn't like how, completely unfamiliar with Japan, he just "decides" he an the woman he's protecting are going to a hotel. Surprise! It's a love one. Oh, and he doesn't have any money. Wolverine THINKS. He asks questions. Whatever... Despite the issues X Men and X Men 2 had, Brian Singer really handled Wolverine WELL. (Is this where, instead of just leaving this here as an example you want me to go into another dissertation proving my point? -- sorry, couldn't resist). Mangold? Not in my opinion. So now he wants to make the R rated Logan like Little Miss Sunshine. Ok, great, so Wolverine is going to be even stupider than in The Wolverine, and this time when he charges into the fray and doesn't have as good a healing factor to protect him as he's finally aging, we get the R rated blood and guts on both sides (Wolverine and the enemy) and some F bombs thrown in. Disappointing when I want to FINALLY see my favorite X Men character brought to life, and it looks like a Weapon X movie.

Yes, that's my signature. It's a little tongue in cheek, but not completely. I'm quite jaded now and tired of being disappointed. Even when keeping my expectations low, like walking into The Wolverine, I still was disappointed. I can't imagine how I would have felt if I'd actually had high expectations!

WOW. You know how women think? All of us then? Wow. I thought you implied you had a brain? Again, not trying to be insulting, just trying to figure out how you can write something like that and actually believe it. You don't know many women then. We are all individuals with different characteristics and preferences. However, you might want to think why some women (not all of us) hide their sexual interest when the first thing out of many men are that they're sluts. Just like one of the first insults out of your keyboard when I was annoyed you couldn't look up a term or ask about it nicely was that I was a female dog. Notice I simply observed your gender bias, and didn't resort to calling you a name I'm sure you can figure out yourself.

I'm glad you at least attempted to put yourself in my shoes....even if you were far off on the sexual vibe (and pretty much everything else). I do admire Hiroyuki Sanada. I've liked to loved a few movies of his (The Last Samurai and The Railway Man for example), enjoyed many of his performances even if the movie/tv show wasn't good (you know, he was the filicidal father in The Wolverine and I think he did well for the role which wasn't a good role -- curse Mangold -- but it wasn't his best work). The few things I've heard of him as a person speak well for him (truly unusual as many of these Hollywood types are super full of themselves and can be such jerks). But no, I am not physically attracted to him if you really care to know. Maybe it could be an option if he was 20 years younger....don't know to tell you the truth and he ISN'T 20 years younger so...mute point.

Now as I've already stated, I haven't decided if I'm seeing Life or not. Of the three cast members I actually know, Reynolds, Gyllenhaall, and Sanada, Sanada is the only actor I like or respect. Not a fan of Reynolds (or much of his work) and Gyllenhaall is ok. SO, perhaps to tip the scale in favor of seeing the movie, Sanada is the extra weight. That's all my 1st comment meant -- and was clearly stated: "Personally, I'm interested in seeing what they are going to do with Life. I haven't completely decided I'm going to see it, but I AM intrigued. And the fact that Hiroyuki Sanada is in it helps :)"

Goodness, did you read the smile as some sort of lustful leer? It's a smiley face. An innocent smiley face! The fact that I like him doesn't have to immediately mean I LIKE him! Now who is making things overly complicated?


I keep my expectations low -- then I can be pleasantly surprised.

Re: No, I meant you keep changing this subject (comment title)

WOW that was a big comment! Challenge accepted (meme face).


I'm not going to define any more terms for you. If you want to know definitions, look them up. But you clearly don't understand what plagiarism is. If plagiarism occurred as much as you claim, there'd be more than a few more lawsuits. IMDB even says this movie is "inspired" by Alien. Inspired could mean a lot of things. I heard 50 Shades of Grey was "inspired" by Twilight. I have no direct knowledge of this as I abstained from 50 Shades of Grey (books and movie) and after reading Twilight (one of the worst books I ever read in my life) and didn't continue with the rest of the series, but I do know that Twilight had vampires and 50 Shades of Grey does not. But the basics of there's a guy and a girl are the same. If we counted how many movies, books, shows, etc had a guy and a girl in it we'd have to be reincarnated or live forever to continue counting. And sometimes what inspires people is so far from what it inspired it's hard for most to see how something was inspired. This does not mean stolen ideas nor that it is automatically a rip off. I think brains and morals are important too, and I think that people do have morals but they differ from ours. That's one of the reasons we have laws, so everyone has a minimum standard of morals to adhere to. And there would be lawsuits if those laws are even perceived as being broken. Hollywood is sue happy.


So what does the quote from IMDB mean? Someone who worked on the movie said it is inspired by Alien? Your argument is insane, invalid. A guy and a girl? Really? What does that have to do with anything? Maybe 99% of the movies have people in them (human beings), does that mean they all ripoff each other because they have people? U silly sally. Find valid logical GOOD arguments instead.

Have you even watched Alien before, so you can comment informed? Want real examples? Life's trailer starts and you see all the astronauts are hibernating in cryosleep. That's exactly how Alien starts. How many astronauts in Life? I'm not sure. But I bet they are around 7 or 8, BECAUSE in Alien they are also 7 crew members. In Life, this black dude gets attacked by some kind of alien, then outside the room 2 people fight each other on wether they should go in or not... The danger of contamination versus saving their buddy. Yet another idea clearly stolen from Alien. Guy uses flamethrower in Life's trailer, guess what, Ripley also uses a flamethrower in Aliens. Enough for u? Or are u still going to pretend nothing similar is going on?


The IMDB rating is not the end all of rating systems. And yes, opinions vary regarding quality. The fact that Sharkando has that many movies says something. You and I may not agree what that something means to the people who apparently love that movie/series. Most of the time, even in the WORST movies, I have found at least ONE positive to say (although there are some I can't even say that about). Perhaps it's a "it's so bad it's good," a concept I personally have never understood but some people feel that way. Frequently movies win Oscars that I think are awful. But the concept of "quality" is subjective. Camera people were horrified when the director of Pitch Black wanted over exposure to the film. To them, that was poor quality. To the director, that was the effect he wanted. Who is right? If the effect worked for you seeing the film, the director made a quality production. If it didn't, someone screwed up/made a mistake and made a poor quality film. That is the point I am trying to make.


Says what? That Sharknado (not Sharkando*) is a good quality movie??? If I asked 20 intelligent people with common sense if Sharknado is a good movie, all 20 of them would answer no, it's terrible. People who watch Sharknado thinking "it's so bad it's good", will still confess it's a bad movie, but they still wanna watch a bad movie for whatever reason, to laugh at it, or make fun of it.

No, quality is not subjective, it's more like an absolute truth for everyone. Think of a car, a Ferrari 488GTB which costs $249,150 and compare it to an used 1975 Volkswagen Beetle, selling for $7,500. Between those 2, which one has the most quality? Anyone who has common sense knows their quality is not subjective.

Compare Ronaldo, the best soccer player in the world, to the worst player in the world, which one has more quality?!?!? Compare Michael Jordan, the best basketball player, to the worst player, which one has more quality? As you see, quality is not subjective as you said. Sure, some people who are Kobe Bryant fans, could say that M.J. is not the best, for them Kobe Bryant is the best player in the world, but even they will admit Michael Jordan has a very high, amazing, top, superstar quality as a player. that much is a fact no one sane can deny.


Yes, what constitutes supernatural is subjective. Witches. Supernatural or not? Ever heard of the belief system Wicca? Witches are not supernatural. Just one case in point.


Supernatural is not subjective. I'll take your example gladly. Take a fantasy witch with supernatural powers, is she supernatural or not? Yes beacuse she doesn't exist. She is supernatural FOR EVERYONE, for me and for u, so no it's not subjective.

U see some girl in the street who stole your boyfriend, you're salty af and mad so u yell at her: "U COW U R UGLY AS A WITCH DAYUMMMM". In this case, she is real, so she is not supernatural, everyone will still agree.


Ok, to use your waiter logic. Do I want chicken wings or salmon? I want chicken wings but these have BBQ sauce and I don't like that. I'll take the garlic and lemon salmon, thank you. Sounds logical and clear to me. If I didn't like the salmon, it was because instead of it being garlic and lemon salmon, it was actually lemon pepper, and I don't like pepper. Again, sounds logical and clear to me. I said Red Eye was good until it followed every cliche in the book to the letter and then said, too bad. Sounds logical and clear to me. And ever hear the phrase "the end ruined the movie?" And since when was it necessary that people commenting on a movie they liked or not have to put in a rating? I understood you liked Alien and you never gave a rating on it.


Ok, so to try and make sense of more of your nonsense... You just said "Red Eye was good"... "until"... "the cliche" So you say the movie was good but the end was bad? It's good and bad? Okaaaaaaayyyyyy???? Still have no idea if you consider the movie good or bad as a whole. That's what ratings are for, if you said it's a 6, that's barely positive, if you said it's a 4 for you, that's barely negative, if you said it's a 5, I'd say mixed review. But you were never clear. I feel sorry for your bf or husband if they have to put up with this everyday.


I'm confusing because I used a term you weren't familiar with, and instead of gathering the meaning from context or looking the word up, you posted back ??????????. But yes, apparently I'M the dramatic one. How is it my fault that you apparently don't know every single word or term in the English language, or, more importantly and realistically, you can't bother to find it out? Or even politely ask what it means. This is not me trying to insult you. This is me questioning a person going around saying "anyone with a brain" who can't bother to look up a word or a term he happens to be unfamiliar with. If you ask a rocket scientist about how a rocket works, are you going to say he's being confusing or rude because he uses terms you don't know? But I wouldn't blame him for getting cranky with you when you do tell him he's being confusing or dramatic using words you don't know instead of politely asking, what does that mean? But sure, pity my poor husband or boyfriend (I could be lesbian you know). I can tell you that any partner is polite and respectful -- just as that person would expect me to be polite and respectful.


Look, another one of your tirades or rants. I don't even remember which term you are talking about. I can tell from your language you sound from the UK. You know many Americans are not familiar with some UK expressions at all? How about giving them a break? How about you tell yourself "Ok, Maidy Maid or Feisty Maid or whatever your nickname is (can't remember exactly), how about today I'm not going to be a pain in the arse for my bf or husband or lesbian gf)? Give ppl a break already. Don't be a grammar nazi.


You are actually interested in what Jackson and Mangold had to say? And my thoughts on The Wolverine? Mostly it looked like you just wanted to rant (and get off topic, but apparently I'M the one getting off topic/changing the subject?). I was citing them as examples, not trying to write a dissertation on them -- that's for those specific boards I would think. And you're going to pick on a few typos? Really? Even professionally edited books have those. I didn't pick on you typing "writter" instead of written because I understand typos happen. Savor your "revenge" if that's what makes you happy.


Yaaaa.... U picked on me, I had to pick on u too lol. I did enjoy my revenge very much, ty. I was like BOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!...... Also, I think I meant to type "writer", not sure how it came out and too lazy to go search right now.

I suppose by "Wolverine" you are talking about the 2009 version and Wolverine the 2013 movie, right? I haven't watched any of those 2, so I can't really comment on the details you described about the movies. I think I've watched some of the earlier X-Men movies, by Bryan Singer, and one of the most recent ones at least. They are for the most part entertaning. Your favorite X-Men is Wolverine? What a coincidence. I used to read lots of X-Men comic books back in the day, my favorite X-Men used to be Wolverine, I thought he was so cool.

What would you expect, a mixture of Sherlock Holmes and Wolverine? I think he is not that smart, not a genius. Also, his style is not like a stealthy ninja, he's more like a brute force. When you said "berserker" who can't control himself and will attack anyone in front of him, that sounds more like the Hulk. When the Hulk grows big and green, he loses control of himself and attacks everyone like a wild animal, Wolverine is not like that. Of course Wolverine is kinda smart, has a brain, uses it, is not all about strength but more like a combination of strengh and intelligence and he uses them both in battle. Again, I didn't watch the movie you described, but even the most intelligent fighter or person sometimes lets emotions carry him, and jumps into the fray, goes kinda ballistic against the enemies. Even intelligent superheroes sometimes don't make the best perfect choices on how to engage the next battle, they make mistakes like humans do. I've never watched Little Miss Sunshine either, but you want a Wolverine without violence and without F bombs? Violence is a part of the X-Men and superheroes movies in general. As for F bombs, well many sucessful and entertaining action movies use a little F bomb now and then, and if it makes people laugh, if it's not too much, nothing wrong with that.

You didn't like how Mangold handled his Wolverine movie? Fine, finally you make a logical point that makes sense. But sounded like you like him as a director, because you liked other movies by him. You even said you liked the trailer for 2017's Wolverine, so you kinda contradict yourself. Why don't you give the new Wolverine a chance, why don't you give your dear Mangold another chance, when you want to give Life a chance? That's so unfair of you.


WOW. You know how women think? All of us then? Wow. I thought you implied you had a brain? Again, not trying to be insulting, just trying to figure out how you can write something like that and actually believe it. You don't know many women then. We are all individuals with different characteristics and preferences. However, you might want to think why some women (not all of us) hide their sexual interest when the first thing out of many men are that they're sluts.

Notice I simply observed your gender bias, and didn't resort to calling you a name I'm sure you can figure out yourself.


Lol you just literally implied I don't have a brain, which is technically an insult, then you say you are not trying to insult. In many things, women are just different from men, science proved it.

Oh you bring the slut card lol. Yes yesssssssssssssss I'm well of aware of the old cliche, if a guy boinks many girls, he is a hero, a playboy, a Wolverine. Someone give this man a medal. If a girl bangs many guys, she is a slut, a tramp, a hoe. That's how society thinks and acts, not my fault.

I think I never called you a female dog before. I don't have a bias, both genders are simply just different in many regards, both physically, intellectually and in behaviors.


he was the filicidal father in The Wolverine and I think he did well for the role which wasn't a good role -- curse Mangold -- but it wasn't his best work


As I said, I've never watched The Wolverine, so I can't comment on your idol from Japan. Or from China perhaps? LOL come on, gimme a break, I'm too lazy right now to open another tab and look up his nationality.


But no, I am not physically attracted to him if you really care to know. Maybe it could be an option if he was 20 years younger....don't know to tell you the truth and he ISN'T 20 years younger so...mute point.


20 years younger? Hmmm. So that makes you 16? LOL.... Sweet sixteen.

I'll do anything for my sweet sixteen, and I'll do anything for little run away child. Gave my heart an engagement ring, she took ev'rything, ev'rything I gave her, oh sweet sixteen.

It could be an option you say? You mean you think you would have a chance with such a celebrity? Lol wow. You must be something else. Like a Goddess, that even a celebrity like him couldn't resist u lol


Goodness, did you read the smile as some sort of lustful leer?


HELL YEAH lol. As a teen crush :). OoooOOOoooHHH Sanata my sweet summer ice cream come here big boy, :) ... Yummy! :p ... :) crush... smiley face... crush... smiley face... lol silly teen laughter.


The fact that I like him doesn't have to immediately mean I LIKE him! Now who is making things overly complicated?


You are, as always. Well, the fact that I like her, doesn't mean that I like HER and doesn't mean I L I K E her, doesn't mean I L_i_K_e HeR or i l*i*K*E h-E-R.


I keep my signature low -- then I can be pleasantly readable.

Re: No, I meant you keep changing this subject (comment title)

Well thank you for finally coming fully out as the troll I was suspecting you were but was trying to give the benefit of the doubt. You turn to insults instead of facts, deliberately stay close minded, and are even too lazy to really look at anything.

You demand a book of answers and swear I'm being cagey when I suspect you have absolutely no interest in what I have to say. I say such, and you swear you are interested. But when I answer, it's blah blah blah.

Back on topic (and enjoy responding back to me because you want to have the last post), Life is in space. Life has astronauts going to a far enough space that cryosleep is required. Something bad is happening in containment -- gee, should we help or not? These are all generic, typical things that would LOGICALLY happen in such an environment. Just as generic as a story about a guy and a girl. Are they similar? Yes. They are GENERIC. If you actually read and comprehended anything I said, oh wait, you accepted my "challenge" but are too lazy to really put forth any effort to really look at anything, you would know I only said Life isn't plagiarized. You could have a point it may be a ripoff, but as no one has seen the movie that would be impossible to prove.

I don't know how old you are, but years mean nothing against maturity, which you certainly are lacking. I do feel sorry for you, and hope you work on that.

Re: No, I meant you keep changing this subject (comment title)

U just called me immature, among other insults, how immature of u, all u did was resort to several insults.

I turned to insults? Really? No I didn't. If u read my previous comment, I think I didn't insult u.

The "blah blah blah" was sense of humor, in case you didn't understand. Get a sense of humor.

Funny that with all your insults, you ignored all the good arguments I gave and don't care I even debated a few movies and comic books.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Quit being a whiner!!!

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Quit celebrating lack of quality and lack of originality. Go buy yourself a brain.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Maybe all cop shows are ripoff because there is always a bad guy, murderer or thief. Westerns are all rip offs too because I seem to remember seeing a western before where the cowboy battled a bad guy just like a western I saw before.

What I'm getting at any show can be called a rip off of a different movie.

So quit judging a show on what you like and don't like. (You probably haven't even seen this movie yet.) Others may think this movie is great.

Try to use your brain to realize not everyone is like you.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Lol you just don't get it do you?

Just like in Alien, do aliens in Life attack a crew inside a ship or space station or whatever? YES! Just like in Alien, do some of the crew members in Life fight with other crew members about opening or not opening a sealed area with a contaminated human by the alien? YES, YES in both movies, by the way, this is a classical concept Alien ripoffs ALWAYS copy, steal from Alien.

You can't be that simplistic. Do you know what nuances are? It's not just about "space and aliens". Take 100 movies about "space and aliens" as you put it, why do I and other people here classify only 1 movie in that group, Life, as Alien ripoff, and the other 99 movies about "space and aliens" NOT Alien ripoffs? Think a little. DUH!

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

You just don't get it.

Cowboys on horse, meet bad guys on horses. There is a gun fight. Sounds like a rip off to me.

Cops in cars, chase bad guys in cars. There is a shoot outs and car crashed. Sounds like a rip off to me.

Alien face hugger is brought back to a ship. It grows and kills. Alien spore is brought aboard a space station to study. It grows and become a killer. Is it a rip off? Maybe and maybe not.

No one cares if you THINK it's an Alien rip off it's actually whether we can be entertained by the show. Hopefully the cast and and pacing of the show can make it an exciting feature.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT


You just don't get it.


YOU don't get it.


Cowboys on horse, meet bad guys on horses. There is a gun fight. Sounds like a rip off to me.


Westerns (like sci-fi movies) are broad film types, just because you see another western, doesn't mean it's a ripoff of other westerns before, just like you can find 99 sci-movies that are NOT ripoffs of Alien, and just 1, Life which is a ripoff. Do you not know how to read? Do you not understand subtle nuances? Don't you have any sensibility?


Cops in cars, chase bad guys in cars. There is a shoot outs and car crashed. Sounds like a rip off to me.


God, are you really this simplistic, simpleton? Like your brain (if you have one, I doubt it) must work like this: FOOD. ME WANTS FOOD. SEX. ME WANTS SEX. UGH! FLINSTONES MEET THE FLINSTONES YABADABADOOOOO.... FOOD. SEX. FOOD. SEX. SLEEP. SLEEP. FOOD. ME TARZAN YOU JANE.


Alien face hugger is brought back to a ship. It grows and kills. Alien spore is brought aboard a space station to study. It grows and become a killer. Is it a rip off? Maybe and maybe not.


See? Finally you are starting to get there, why it is clearly a ripoff.

Alien facehugger is brought back to a ship. It grows and kills.

Alien spore is brought back to a ship. It grows and kills.

Replace the name "facehugger" with "spore", you still don't notice any similarities?

In Alien:
Crew member comes back to the ship, infected by FACEHUGGER, some members of the crew want to keep him sealed in a separate room from them, while other members want to let him in, they fight each other over the idea of letting him in or locking him outside their area.

In Life:
Crew member comes back to the ship, infected by SPORE, some members of the crew want to keep him sealed in a separate room from them, while other members want to let him in, they fight each other over the idea of letting him in or locking him outside their area.

WOWWWWWWwWWWW!!! SO DIFFERENT! Just screams original right????????????


No one cares if you THINK it's an Alien rip off it's actually whether we can be entertained by the show. Hopefully the cast and and pacing of the show can make it an exciting feature.


I'm not the only one, other people here have noticed it's an Alien ripoff. I care and some people care, because we have MORAL PRINCIPLES, we care it's wrong to steal ideas from other sucessful movies, sure it's harder to be original but also it is the only thing that deserves credit and has value. People like you make this world terrible, without moral principles, without quality, you don't care about anything, anything goes so the world gets worse and worse... You still don't care....... Lies, liars, cheaters, scammers, hoaxers, people who ripoff others, steal ideas, steal anything with value, act like scumbags, you still don't care. I hope someone steals money from you, or from your bank, see if you like that. Stealing ideas is much worse than stealing money, but people like you just don't get it. FOOD. SEX. SEX. SEX. SEX. SEX. FOOD. SEX. SEX. SEX. SEX. SEX. SLEEP. Right? Go back to get fat, eat fast food, don't care about anything. I wonder how medical exams to your head come out, maybe there is a huge void inside your head, where some other people actually have a brain?

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Sounds like your a bit of a turd too.

All shows can be a rip off of another show. And many movies follow a similar path. Have you seen this show or are you just one of those dumb asses that think they are so smart that they know what it's like already? Whether it's good will depend on the acting and it's execution not whether it follows a similar idea as another movie.

Go back to your mom's couch idiot! Let us real people decide for ourselves on what's good and what's not.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT


Sounds like your a bit of a turd too.


It's spelled you're*, not "your". Go learn English. Educate yourself a little. Quit showing how YABADABADOO and basic you are, Flinstone.


and it's execution not whether it follows a similar idea as another movie.


It's spelled its*, not "it's". Go learn English. Educate yourself a little. Quit showing how YABADABADOO and basic you are, Flinstone.

Your typos lol, your childish immature insults, just prove everything I said about you before is true.


Have you seen this show


Dude, Life is not a show, it's a movie. Shows have many episodes, movies don't. Do you even know the difference? Lol. You go on and on, proving me right about your lack of mental capabilities. Can I please have someone intelligent instead, to debate with me?

Between brainless you and intelligent me, it's easy to see who is right (me) and who is wrong (you), Life is clearly an Alien ripoff, I gave many valid arguments, you gave none, end of debate, I win you lose.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

It's spelled you're*, not "your". Go learn English. Educate yourself a little. Quit showing how YABADABADOO and basic you are, Flinstone``

His name is Flintstone not Flinstone. Try to get it right fool!


I'm not here for an English lesson so I don`t really care if I spell a few words wrong. Maybe you`re just to stupid to figure out what I`m getting at.

Yes it is a show, or a movie, or a picture so don't try to act like you're so smart because it really isn`t working for you.

I'm not debating you anyway, I'm just not agreeing with you that just because it the movie is about an alien monster that it's a rip off of the movie Alien. I already pointed out that any movie can be considered a rip off if you want to try to make a case out of it.

I`m just tired of idiots like you who, before they even see a movie have to open there pie hole making negative comments to try to make themselves look like they have some kind of intelligence.

I win you lose TURD! Now go whine to yourself as you go back to mom`s basement couch.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

LMAO omg omg omg you can't really be this dumb can you? Can you? Can you? LMAO! OMG!


I'm not here for an English lesson so I don`t really care if I spell a few words wrong. Maybe you`re just to stupid to figure out what I`m getting at.


More typos by you, too*, not "to" lol.


Yes it is a show, or a movie, or a picture so don't try to act like you're so smart because it really isn`t working for you.


No, it is NOT a TV show. Shows have many episodes, movies don't. No, it isn't a picture, a picture is an image or a photo, a still frame, much different from a movie, or from a video. Lol OMG! Really? You just bring dumb to a whole new level. No wonder you can't spot an Alien ripoff when you see one!

So if I want to immitate you, I've just seen a car, I'll say.....

Yes it is a motorcyle, or a car, or a tank so don't try to act like you're so smart because it really isn`t working for you.

LOL

Or, I saw a microwave. If I act like you, I'll go like......

Yes it is a fridge, or a microwave, or a washing machine so don't try to act like you're so smart because it really isn`t working for you.

LMFAOOOOO!!!!!!!

Thanks for making me laugh so hard at your expense lol.


I'm not debating you anyway, I'm just not agreeing with you that just because it the movie is about an alien monster that it's a rip off of the movie Alien. I already pointed out that any movie can be considered a rip off if you want to try to make a case out of it.


I've already explained before why it's not just because it has an alien, but seems like you don't know how to read, you don't get it. No, not any movie can be considered a ripoff, unless you are nuts or/and high af.

As for more of your childish insults, no wonder someone as basic as you will throw cheap insults around lol.

Besides learning English, you also need to learn how to create quotes on here lol, you tried to quote me but couldn't do it properly with the tools provived by IMDB, like more evolved me does it.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Hey Turd, why do you keep trying to debate me. You already proved you`re intelligent but you`re just not very smart.

You made comments about a show you never saw and I called you on it. Maybe see it first then write a review. If you did that you would have some kind of credibility.

I did quote you just fine since it was a copy and a paste. I may have not did it the way IMDB lets you but I did it my way and that`s good enough.

Now go back to sleep on your mom`s couch and cry yourself to sleep because you`re argument proved nothing. I`m done with you because you are saying the same gibberish over and over with nothing to base it on since you made an allegation about a movie you never saw.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Must you insult me on every comment? Is that smart? I'm not very smart for responding to you? How come? I've already won the debate with you many comments ago, now I just reply to you for fun, you just made me laugh hard at your expense, I couldn't believe someone lacks a brain in such a big way like you do!!!! OMG lol.


You made comments about a show you never saw and I called you on it. Maybe see it first then write a review. If you did that you would have some kind of credibility.


As I said, this is a movie, not a show. What's wrong with you? If you learned that you would have some kind of credibility.


I did quote you just fine since it was a copy and a paste. I may have not did it the way IMDB lets you but I did it my way and that`s good enough.


No, you didn't quote me using the IMDB option. See? ^^^ this is a quote. I know how, you don't know how LOL. Gawd, you're so basic.


Now go back to sleep on your mom`s couch and cry yourself to sleep because you`re argument proved nothing. I`m done with you because you are saying the same gibberish over and over with nothing to base it on since you made an allegation about a movie you never saw.


your*

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

You have won nothing! You have already proved my point that you`re commenting about a movie you never saw which was my point all along. I would say that is my win.
My quoting you in the way that I am works just fine. I already explained that I`m not doing it the IMDB way.

They once called a movie, a movie show. So I guess me calling it a show is legit now dumb ass.

Now grab your baby bottle and have a nap because I`m not going to waste a single second more of my time with you since you never even saw the movie!

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

You understand that that is exactly what a trailer is for right? To judge the film to see if you're interested

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Why would you say its a Aliens-rip off? If you think like that one movie about space is another's rip-off from just being movies about space and of course aliens. This cycle start right from 2001 space odyssey. So don't try to compare a movie that you've only seen by a trailer to a movie that is already a well established franchise. Have no one told you not to judge a book by its cover? So don't ruin movies for other people who actually go to the film hall before having an opinion about a movie. These comments only show your lack of a creative mind.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Omg yeah right you see a lot of aliens in 2001 space odissey? Lol enough said.

No, it's not just about being in space. Is your brain really that simplistic and underpowered? Think a little if you can. Or maybe you can't.

"Movies about space"? Do you even know what nuances are? It's not everything black or white.

I didn't compare it to all the other space movies out there... Gee I wonder why??????????????????? Think a little. Also, I wasn't the only one to spot this is an Alien ripoff, other people felt the same way about the trailer, which proves I'm right.

Simply put, intelligent people will see the similarities, dumb people will not see them, they just don't get it.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

2001: A Space Odyssey is not about space and aliens?Since you don't seem to know what you're talking about I'll break it out to you.The whole concept of that movie is based on space and aliens.Its the skill of the writer and the director to make a movie about aliens without showing aliens. Believe me it makes it hundred times more ominous than Aliens movies when you read those books.Yes, i read the book series before i realized there's a movie about it so maybe for a person who only watch movies the interpretation could be different.
Humanity finds a mysterious, obviously artificial object buried beneath the Lunar surface and, with the intelligent computer H.A.L. 9000, sets off on a quest.....this is the IMDB explanation of the plot. So according to you that object was buried by probably the Russians since there are no aliens in that movie.

IN the books that object was buried by an ancient race of aliens who helped to populate and evolve humans faster than it should have happend naturally.And their intentions.

Go check Interpretations of 2001: A Space Odyssey - Wikipedia


Arthur C. Clarke's novel of the same name was developed simultaneously with the film, though published after its release.[4] It seems to explain the ending of the film more clearly. Clarke's novel explicitly identifies the monolith as a tool created by an alien race that has been through many stages of evolution, moving from organic forms, through bio mechanics, and finally has achieved a state of pure energy.
Wikipedia.

All i wanted to say is that Aliens and space is the most common theme for movies in the genre so it didn't start with Aliens movie and it won't probably end with Life movie too. Since you're superior to us all in MB in intelligence i hope you'll be able to understand that.

Facepalm! Lol

I don't think you understand English too well? Here, let me repeat what I asked before:

"Omg yeah right you see a lot of aliens in 2001 space odissey? Lol enough said."

Do you see a lot of aliens in 2001? The answer is NO! You don't see 1 single alien. CASE CLOSED.

Do you see aliens in Gravity? NO!

Do you see aliens in Life? YES! Do you see aliens in Alien? YES!

2 no answers and 2 yes answers. Notice any difference, genius, or still nay?

Just like in Alien, do aliens in Life attack a crew inside a ship or space station or whatever? YES! Just like in Alien, do some of the crew members in Life fight with other crew members about opening or not opening a sealed area with a contaminated human by the alien? YES, YES in both movies, by the way, this is a classical concept Alien ripoffs ALWAYS copy, steal from Alien.


IN the books that object was buried by an ancient race of aliens who helped to populate and evolve humans faster than it should have happend naturally.And their intentions.

We're going a little off topic now, anyway I haven't read the book, but judging only from the movie, I think they left open the interpretation of who really buried said object, which is interesting because it generates debate. Aliens is a possible explanation, but there are so many more explanations not involving aliens. Ghosts? Humans from the past? Humans from the future? Humans from another galaxy, space or time? Beings from another dimension? Who knows? In fact, there is a scene in 2001 with apes, so there's that possible explanation as well, as for us apes are our predececors in evolution, maybe they are not aliens, just apes.


All i wanted to say is that Aliens and space is the most common theme for movies in the genre so it didn't start with Aliens movie and it won't probably end with Life movie too.


Like I said before, you can't be that simplistic. Do you know what nuances are? It's not just about "space and aliens". Take 100 movies about "space and aliens" as you put it, why do I and other people here classify only 1 movie in that group, Life, as Alien ripoff, and the other 99 movies about "space and aliens" NOT Alien ripoffs? Think a little. DUH!


Since you're superior to us all in MB in intelligence i hope you'll be able to understand that.


Thanks, despite the fact I never said that.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Yet when they do try to come up with something original everyone complains and gives it bad reviews...so double edged sword with not want in it to be another Alien ripoff.

However I will add when they showed the first trailer/first look during I think the walking dead that is the first thing that came to mind upon see I it. "Great another Alien ripoff." Lol.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

sorry u don't have a brain

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

It looks nothing like Alien mush for brains. Try establishing an intelligent thought. I dare you.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Alien is a "rip-off" of several other previous movies. Most notably Planet of the Vampires.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

More like, It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958) - amazingly similar.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Ehh, the trailer didn't remind me of Alien whatsoever.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

The trailer looked like The Last Days on Mars with a bigger budget, but let's make no mistake, the genre's only monster-sized hit was Alien. All of these movies, be it Sunshine, Event Horizon, even Gravity to an extent, borrowed extensively from Alien. Before Alien, there was Dark Star, Planet of the Vampires, Quatermass, and others.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

The problem is, every time most of you people see something to do with Aliens or Alien Life you're "OMFG ANOTHER ALIEN LIKE MOVIE..." even if it is completely different. Learn to differentiate... or do you pass by a tire shop and go "OMFG ANOTHER RUBBER TIRE COMPANY! RIPOFFS!!"

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Well said! I agree, modern movie audiences are WAY too over critical. They cry "RIPOFF" whenever something is SLIGHTLY similar. This is the problem with modern movie audiences, they judge and harshly criticize a film based on only a trailer.

I feel that is why some great films bomb at the box office, because people hate a film without seeing or because the film has some very minor similarities to other films. Tragic.

Maybe

First off, I have to laugh at the idea of Hollywood having even so called big brains!

It's supposedly inspired by Alien, and even if Alien (and all the sequels and prequels etc which in my mind are actually worse than something just "inspired) didn't exist, the archetype of man vs nature is very alive and well.

There's very few things actually original out there anymore. Most of the originally comes from the how rather than the what.

I'm willing to give this a chance.


I keep my expectations low -- then I can be pleasantly surprised.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

It's pathetic how its Alien ripoff and these dumb studios think they can just disguise it with casting some named actors.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Be careful what you wish for. That's how we ended up with Collateral Beauty.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

everything's a remix

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Saw the trailer last night & did not think of Alien but The Thing (in Space)

Re: Another Alien ripoff,great……NOT

Alien was just ripoff of previous films, that's the way movies are made. Nothing is ever original.
