Brick Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I have heard nothing but good things about this from behind the scenes, so while I know the Alien franchise hasn't really been in the best place for decades now (Covenant was so stupid), I have faith that this can finally right the goddamned ship, and Fede Alvarez is going to deliver a solid Alien movie at long, long last.

TwinIon Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Nothing wrong with that trailer, but as with any of these long running franchises that won't die I remain skeptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 So, apparently, this was made for Hulu, but after seeing it, studio thought it deserved a theatrical release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I'm looking forward to both this and Noah Hawley's upcoming Alien TV show (probably moreso the TV show because I think Hawley is a better filmmaker than Fede Alvarez, at least so far). I'm not as down on the Alien movies as some are (given my love of the two new ones by Ridley Scott), so now's as good a time as any to rank them, are they all mostly bad? I don't really think we should count the two AvP movies but I did so for completeness's sake. I'm sure most here will disagree with my "good" tier. Great: -Alien -Aliens Good: -Alien 3: The Workprint Edition -Prometheus -Alien: Covenant Decent: -Alien Resurrection Bad: -Alien 3: The Theatrical Edition -Alien vs. Predator -Alien vs. Predator: Requiem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Alien 3 Workprint Edition has grown on me, especially as an adult where I know most of the actors now.

There's no question that Prometheus and Covenant have problems but everything with Fassbender is mesmerizing in both movies. I also love the euro sci-fi aesthetic used, since then also prominently used in The Callisto Protocol, Raised by Wolves, Death Stranding and Returnal.

silentbob Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I liked the tension the trailer showed and the pounding with the chest scene was very well done. I’m interested in seeing this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 It feels very weird seeing a trailer for an alien movie that doesn't immediately fill me with anger, sadness, disappointment and/or complete indifference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I think the trailer for Prometheus was pretty good if I recall... Covenant fell into the "complete indifference" category after having seen Prometheus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I actually did have some high hopes for Covenant, and thought Ridley Scott would be able to address and fix some of the complaints about Prometheus. Instead he went, "fuck you, how about no helmets at all so they just get infected by spores", and didn't really follow up on David and Shaw meeting with the Engineers aside from a quick flashback. I wanted an actual spin off from the Alien stuff, and learn more about the Engineers, but instead it was just a really stupid Alien prequel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
