Hmm... none of you crazy guys have mentioned "Logan's Run". We're going on 'carousel' one day. And the clock is ticking.
Logan's Run, one of my all-time favorites. As well as "Alien" and "2001". And "THX-1138" has yet to be listed.
I enjoyed "Aliens". But the tired old cliche of the inept- usually white- Lt. CO, the black NCO, and the tough hispanic senorita was already tired and old in 1986. And I doubt only 'space marines' would be sent in to deal with an unknown hostile alien without some astrobiologists on board.
I especially liked the Alien Queen in "Aliens". I thought they could've done a whole lot better than they did with that franchise after the first two movies. For example, how long was the U shaped alien ship, the one that sent the warning signal about the other aliens, sitting there when it was discovered by Dallas, Lambert, and Kane?
It had been sitting there for six centuries. It crashed there because the insectoid xenomorph alien had caused havoc and on the U-ship. It crash-landed there when Shakespeare was writing plays on Earth.
They could've done one about one individual alien being brought back to a base on Europa. The drone wipes everybody out and morphs into a Queen and lays a bunch of "eggs". When rescue teams arrive, any semblance of man-made structures in the interiors has been converted to the alien's preferred environment, with all that organic stuff everywhere that the alien makes with its excreted resin.
Keep in mind that the "cave" that Kane discovered was of bad alien construction, superimposed over the "good" alien's constructs. So perhaps it was a mine of some sort the "good", 10 foot tall aliens were digging when they stumbled across the "bad" xenomorph and they didn't crash-land after all.
So the 'bad' alien was native to that hostile little world. They were basicall big green-yellow rock eaters who break apart and digest rocks and minerals for sustenance with their "acid" enzymes.
