Aliens in the future

Steven Jung

Movies that scared me as a child were the first and second “Aliens” movie; and to this day I still enjoy those movies.

Recently Ridley Scott came out with a new movie that is supposed to be connected to the Aliens franchise called “Prometheus.” I bought that movie a few months ago and did not like it. By the end of the movie, I was just sitting there wondering how Scott messed up on this movie so badly.

In the next two months Aliens: Colonial Marines will release, and I am hoping it will be just as good as the previous Aliens vs. Predator game that released in 2010.

When I watched “Prometheus,” I was at the very least expecting it to be how things came about in the first movie, “Alien.” The entire story was off — even how the movie ended. The story also showed how the aliens from the franchise came to be but that part was also disappointing.

When I first played the 2010 Aliens vs. Predator game, I enjoyed it. I felt there were instances when that fear I felt as a child came back as I was playing the game.

For instance there was one part in the beginning where I had to simply just turn on the lights. The character was shocked by some kind electrical charge, and I jumped a little thinking I was just attacked by one of the aliens.

As I watched a YouTube video about multiplayer for the new Aliens: Colonial Marines game, I liked what I saw. I also liked what I saw in the previews for the movie “Prometheus” so I am hoping this new game will make up the disappointment I felt when I saw the movie.

As I looked more into the interviews done by other people, the producers of the game are promising that they will answer questions that were raised about events in … between the second and third aliens film.

All I am hoping for is that this game when its released in February is not as disappointing as the “Prometheus” movie.
