Sorry, but it really wasn't. Both Prometheus and it set the franchise back a decade, or more.Not bad not bad. Alien Covenant was pretty good.
Prometheus was almost a great movie but tripped over itself too many times. Covenant was outright dumb.Looks good, but Ridley Scott is still attached to this.......arggggggg.
Please good sir, retire and never touch the franchise again.

Did you forget Alien cubed and Alien: Resurrection? It's not like the franchise was doing great (and I'm a bit of an Alien cubed defender).Looks good, but Ridley Scott is still attached to this.......arggggggg.

For real, not enough men lead us against the aliens in moviesDoes every Alien movie have to have a strong female character in the lead role?
No, but a few androgynous androids would be nice...For real, not enough men lead us against the aliens in movies
Are the xenomorphs that dangerous they could take over a planet. Seeing as one small CM detachment took out a fair few along with Ripley it seems so implausible they could win a global conflict.
Always found that threat a little illogical. Anyway I am sure people have said this before but in Aliens I am sure I saw a version where a xenomorph clambered onto the APC and was blown off by the turret gun. Never seen that version again.
According to a plot summary, they're colonists, so I imagine that the thinking was that youth is needed to start a colony. However, you still need people with experience to ensure its success and sending only 6 colonists (literally, IMDb lists only 6 actors being in the movie) makes no sense. In Aliens, Hadley's Hope had 60-70 families after only 20 years, so it was initially settled by well over a hundred colonists, and this movie takes place around the same time (between Alien and Aliens).The cast is too young IMO. Maybe there's an in-story reason for that?
Watching the trailer first then a quick glance at the imdb summary, it seems pretty clear that they should be part of a larger colony they want to 'escape' and signed themselves up for some high risk/high reward salvage mission, or something along those lines.According to a plot summary, they're colonists, so I imagine that the thinking was that youth is needed to start a colony.

There may very well be a story explanation for it, but it's hard to separate that from my cynical belief that it's a lame attempt to appeal to a younger demographic.Watching the trailer first then a quick glance at the imdb summary, it seems pretty clear that they should be part of a larger colony they want to 'escape' and signed themselves up for some high risk/high reward salvage mission, or something along those lines.
