I suppose I should have titled this topic 'do you thing the music aspect overshadows what emtional response you should feel towards the characters' Dont get me wrong,I enjoy Frontier and Love the Mecha showcased,its just that attachment and feeling I used to have with the previous series that I dont feel in Frontier. Like,Anyone could die in Frontier and I wouldnt feel anything for them because the songs and Alto in a dress (I dont care how many times they do it I'd never get used to it,should have just had a female lead) Overshadow. Thats nice,but whats it doing in Macross. no need for it.

Indeed,it can be I know. But the change is pretty apparent. its like with MFmovie 2 they made it like Flashback 2012 but with a few story bits here and there,then music music music. I dont know..maybe it is just me.

I know this may sound like a rant but it has some point. bare with me. Macross/DYRL was and is the best the series has to offer. The war and the characters struggles are the KEY features and are handled brillantly,keeping a certian air of realism with it. Macross Plus,a great rivialy between friends and a AI singer that becomes obsessively dangerous. still,the Struggle and the feeling of what they are fighting for is strong and felt. Macross Zero - Decent,birdman was alright,not great but the combat had a good feeling of desperatness. Macross 7..starts to get abit outragous but retains that core feeling of macross,the music aspect though does start to overpower the actual character growth and combat. Frontier..the series,in some episodes was brillant. But then there where some other episodes that just had you saying 'whats this'. I liked it but it felt like something was really missing,I didnt get that sense of weight or consequence that Macross and DRYL,hell even Plus offered. MF Movie 1 - a decent film,the music aspect is alot stronger and over shadows some of the emotions i should be feeling for the characters,Alto's love triangle at this stage doesnt interest me at all. MF movie 2 - just finished watching it and I must say..Disappointed. The first half was great,good sense of combat.A decent setup for a final goal. 2nd half just fell to peices,became random and it was like I was watching the fall of Macross..I mean (spoilers here) Sheryl gets sucked out into space and saved by a Ai-kun..Grace pops out of no where with a machine gun then pops out a microphone out of no where and says 'sing sheryl'..wtf...shes on stage singing and as soon as Ranka comes up to hug sheryl goes limp and hopless..come on..next we see the Galaxy surfing on debris through the clouds while the bridge springs out a old school sailing wheel...*facepalm*..Isamu's 2 second cameo..why bother..The songs and sheryl/rankas shinenagens overpowered the entire film,even the epic space fights felt more like they where there just to act like a music video. The only character I actually cared about and became interesting was Brera. seriously..I cant be the only one here that feels the music has just overpowered the entire series now,I remember when I used to actually care and the heavy feelings I got from the wars. but it just feels so over the top and commercial now.

I would only agree for a remake if it was just a visual overhaul,if they change anything I will be very disappointed. actually thats an understatment id be ropable.

Is it just me or does the white armoured troops remind you of Cerberus from Mass Effect.

Aliens has been so intergrated into Alien lore now it would be hard for Ridley Scott to not tie into the sequels.

I fully dislike the 'clear visor' design they are saying for the new Robocop...I fear for his design...

I didnt mind the ending. I mean I can see how some people would get annoyed,but I didnt. I was satisfied.

its a prequel to alien but wont have the Xenomorph in it. Says Scott,but he could be just hiding that tidbit. Its set like 30 years before Alien apperantly. Its not a 'Alien' movie,but its set in the same universe,Ridley scott even mentioned that this film could be a 2 parter.

A couple more.. prometheus has landed..

It has one tail though,the reflection of the pod makes it look like it has more. I believe its being taken out of her,if you look closely at her stomach area you can see what seems to be a umbilical cord attached to the specimen. but like I said it 'looks' like a chest burster,i dont think it is one. Perhaps a first wave type. I think she was taken inside the Jockey craft,implanted with something and rescued and then they take it out,thats my take Like she is in the med bay,wakes up but feels something in her gets all panicy and runs to the guys in the other medbay and collapses then they quickly put her on the capsule to take it out,its one theory anyway lol

really cant wait for this. Answers at last. I think the best scene in the trailers is this looks like a chest-burster or progenitor to the alien in early form.

bout time they brought it out. That set looks amazing!

Hey everyone,I havent been here for a long time not sure if anyone remembers me lol. Anyways I hath returned! and I bring a Cowgirl Minmay with me.

pumped.

*casts ressurection* now that the series is under way ,Im interested to see if anyones been watching it. Ive seen all 3 episodes that have been aired and i must say im enjoying it quite abit,the CG takes some getting used to,but it doesnt take long.so far so good.

this slaver arc seems to be going really well ,I loved the Umbara arc. I like the sound of the slaver ships too,real meaty gritty sound.

Do Want.

one other thing i find amusing in the tranformer movies is the military showcase, its like Bay picks out the cool things and just throws them in there for the sake of saying 'thats cool'...

I think working for the shadow broker it has its perks for certain enhancments to appear more tempting to potental people.

oh god that face...its....its....*dies from horror* body is good but that head is just does not look right at all..

by the comments looks like alot of negative feedback,I somewhat agree...not really Liara,really dis-like the face,but the body sculpt is quite good. give me a Tali one. but in all seriousness,Id rather more accurate realistic sculpts of the characters.

Thanks Tober,I knew he started with a 'D' lol, hmm, The Human Alliance Bee does look pretty good.

Alot better then the 2nd film,Glad that Megan Fox was scrapped,the only thing I didnt like was some of the scenes felt too short-cut and didnt have a flowing transition. Example: when Sam is asking if Bee could fly the downed Decepticon fighter and giving the so-so gesture,then quick cuts to Sam getting a gun from the black dude like instantly. no transition,just felt like really quick editing. but otherwise enjoyable. I am interested to where they will go from here tho seeing as they pretty much killed the main antagonists

finally saw Transformers 3 today. ALOT better then the 2nd film,sad to see Starscream go out like that. makes me wonder what they are going to do for the rumoured 4th and 5th films now. what is the best BumbleBee figure out on the market today? and anyone remember the name of the Ferrari in the film? the design was quite good.
