I'd probably go to most of the old star treks. Especially 2!
Khaaaaaaan!

Wasn't able to see alien due to it being such a limited screening.

It does seem a no brainer this. Surprised it's not done more.

Unfortunately you missed it. 1 & 2 was shown about 6 or 7 months ago at Cineworld.

Got Aliens and The Dark Knight booked, not much else showing in my local Vue that interests me so far this year.

yeah i double checked too but the April 26 is still blank so might be a surprise showing nearer the time. Fingers crossed.

Aliens has been added for Cineworld on the 26th

Apparently all the chains are limited to around 10 screens for some bizarre reason.

Do you think my Son should watch Alien before I take him to see Aliens?

Nah.

I don't think you need to.

while it isn't a major issue watching aliens before alien. it doesn't hurt to watch alien first so that he knows the back story to aliens.

it bit un fair I wish they be showing it at my local Odeon, as it got the 40th Anniversary return of the Jedi t-shirt. oh well if it doesn't come to local Odeon on April 28, I can always watch the 4k version off Disney + on the night.

No no need. It make sense on its own.

They're showing both movies around here on 26th, do a double bill.

Purely from a purist point of view, my answer is Yes though

(it's also marginally the better movie)

Anyone know if Vue cinemas show these classics in digital format or using original reels?

I'm not even going and it's made me sad they're showing Aliens before Alien.
