Listen guys im just watching mimic and thought this film is a relic but an absolute gem. Cast is phenomenal.
Josh Fuckin Brolin was in it.
Norman Fuckin Reedus was in it.
Dude from Alien 3 was in it.
And Mina Sorvino…ok.
Lance freaking Hendrickson was in this bitch too but in the sequel!
Geulmo Del Toro was the director and for its time, the creature effects for a 1997 film, this film had it all and pretty good at it too.
If Predators went back in time, scooped up these casts and dropped them off in an alternate universe to survive and train and against MIMICS and the Predators came in and hunted them all …or teamed up. That would be absolute BOSS!
MIMICS could have been a relative to the River Ghost!
My only crit of the 1997 film is that crushed blacks at the time made CGI far more believable however due to our Big screen TVs and high fidelity I think they would have to remaster the whole damn thing and probably would have to redo lots of shots.
I’m not sure how many practical effects shots were used but because CGI at the time had limited colour depth they would look too dated as a remaster unless they re-rendered everything to be super resolution and polished. They would have to regrade the film to a deeper colour depth and bring back those dark shadows.
One of the mechanics in the film was that if you rub their bodily fluids on you, they would think they were one of their own.
Imagine the Mimics being a type of totem alien species you used like many weird creatures in the PHG2 that you could use to your advantage?
I mean what if you slowed the pace of his game down to Resident Evil pace, you add in between every Predator encounter some Mimic encounter while being stranded on some desolate alien world?
