1. Aliens 2. Alien 3. Alien 3 (underated gem) 4. Covenant 5. Prometheus 6. Romulus 7. Resurrection I argue with everyone about Alien 3. For years I hated that one. But the more I see these other story lines the more Ive come to appreciate Alien 3. Secretly underrated. Romulus did not do justice to the xenomorph at all. Clumsy and unintelligent. Thats far from what they are. 6/10

Sigourney was only 3 years older that the actress playing Rain... but they all look like kids these days!!

[@andreioarcea7784]

It is about the increasing attitude towards delaying gentrification of oneself, wellbeing, healthcare, present nowadays in our society, either that or the obsession to look and be perceived young as long as possible. Up until this century it was the other way around, people got to try to look serious in their 20s. This casting represeents our perception of the way our adult life in our 20s would or should look, not how, diegetically, young adults should look on a mining and terraforming colony. They should look, maybe a bit older, definitively more tired. Who knows, maybe face features regression is some sort of evolutionary asset that makes us still uphold reproductive "availability" and desirability in this late stage of tiresome, stressful capitalism, just around the curbe. People who were wondering why the cast looks so teenage like young (including maybe those that might have seen the first movies as youngsters), got to thinking that prime time working class individuals in their 20 would look like people in their 30 now look. It was a little bit more realistic.

Prometheus engineers are the perfect result of the xenomorph compound made by their own ancestors. WEYLAND's product is flawed version therefore Kay gave birth to a mix between engineer and xenomorph.

[@mondsgesandter]

This makes so much sense

[@Kspice9000]

Disagree. Even the engineers don't understand the full potential of the black goo. The use they could think of it was to use as a weapon. Weyland could very well have no control of it, what we do know is that humans share the similar genetics as xenos and engineers just restructured. So it wouldn't be stretch to assume that this is what happens to someone who injected with the goo/has fetal chest burster/pregnant. Now why the hell it didn't mutate Kay baffles me.

[@HDRagnarok]

I had major dead space vibes with the abandoned station and the hybrid all over the movie. I really loved it and this is the kind of sci-fi horror i want to see.

[@SM-ce1uy]

you are right

[@TheAsianPotatoe]

Okay Theory time, I remember in the beginning Tyler says "I know my COUSIN can be a dick" which he refers to Bjorn who was being mean to Andy. Later Kay mentions to Rain that her Baby Daddy is "Some Asshole" right, I'm thinking maybe its Bjorn. Why I say that is because when he gets back up and tries to stop Kay from making sound when the Xeno was hatching in the entrance, they make this weird like connection like they're together(Bro strokes her face). Kay is Tyler's sister we can conclude that I think. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm open to whatever but like wouldn't that baby be a result of Cousin Incest/Xeno/Engineer? I say this because I've seen the movie Barbarian, the monster has the same body structure of the Incested Monster too. Again, correct me if I'm wrong. I just wanted to give you guys something to think about.

[@chenugent]

I think you are onto something

[@chenugent]

Not gonna lie I did wonder if the human xeno hybrid would end up looking like Bjorn 😂

[@J32_]

Also right after she tells Rain she's pregnant, there's a shot of Navarro just down below them looking as if she's about to cry from hearing them

[@insaneworld211]

I think it was confirmed that Bjorn was the father. I just want to know how that even happened? Were Kay's prospects that BAD? Along with you clearly see that Bjorn loves/cares for Navarro. My take, either a one night stand while drunk, or Kay wanted a sexual partner she could feel safe with and Bjorn was the only one who fit the bill.

[@KeiGee29]

i can understand your view. nice

[@SmokeRingHalo]

Aside from the cheesy "Get away from her" line and Xenos going from babies to full grown in a matter of literal minutes (they ARE on a doomsday clock after all), it was still pretty decent. The sets, directing, sound design and sfx (both practical & CG) were all fantastic! A solid 7/10 from me.

That was kinda the idea, a bunch of young 20 year olds that were basically slaves trying to make an escape, not knowing any of the real risks. That young ideology also played a huge factor into why the characters acted the way they did throughout the movie. dude being sour to androids from his mother passing, the girl hiding her pregnancy from her brother and eventually making illogical decisions based on emotions surrounding those issues.

Prometheus is more of a philosophical Alien movie that explores a lot with Christianity. I personally loved it so much. Covenant dropped the ball for me and was just more of a over the top action movie. It should've explored what happened when they got to the planet.

What really bugged me about this movie is the fact that we never got to see how the colony was overturned by Aliens as seen in "Aliens". I thought that was the whole point of this movie to actually show us how the alien got to the planet and then planted more eggs etc, not to just show us another weird variation of the Xeno and for them to die like in the first movie. Where's the queen in this movie as well? We get no explanation as to what the movie point is other than "Oh yea here you go heres them dying again, and just moving off to another planet, you get to see a few aliens along the way as well but yea thats about it" . 5/10 overall.

The substantial difference between Z-01 and Black Goo is that the former was synthesized from the cells of a xenomorph, while the latter from those of a different species, but genetically linked to the previous one.

[@matthiasfsa]

I loved the movie, I loved the aesthetics and how they're going back to the original Alien roots. The one thing that bother me is how HARD they went on the references to the other movies, ranging from props that were in the original movies, sound bites, direct quotes from the movies and even direct frames from the other movies. It felt like a fan service movie that was trying to send a clear message: "hey, look, I'm cool like Alien and Aliens".

I'm trying to figure out if there's something significant about naming the synthetic Rook in this movie, and then Bishop in Aliens.

One thing I really dislike about this movie is that in previous movies, it would take a few hours before the xenomorph bursts out of the host, but in this one, it takes them about 5 to 10 minutes to burst out. Maybe 15 minutes, but it all happens very fast.

Technically, you could continue the story with Rain and Andy in Cryo sleep. A Wayland Yutani vessel is shadowing them wanting to get the Prometheus 5 compound as Ruck sent a blast transmission of the ship they escaped on before the Romulans station was destroyed. The Wayland operatives get the compound and destroy the Navigation Computer to prevent the ship from reaching any destination. They also take Andy but leave Rain.

In script writing there is the device of the 'ticking time bomb' that must be stopped before it goes off. They created this device in a very clever way, a space craft being pulled into the orbit of an ice ring. Adding this element to the movie was a stroke of genius.

if the company had aquired the alien samples and was already experimenting on those, why was it still searching for these things in alien 2 and 3 which are set after this?

[@gosutoman9701]

shit.. good catch

[@telfer3388]

Because they lost them? As shown in the movie the Romulus station was destroyed, the samples are on the "Corbelan" With Rain on their way to Yvaga III. Rook wanted to save the samples at all costs with help of our protagonists but failed. And we dont know what Raine did with them upon arrival at her destination, or even if she ever got to Yvaga III in the first place. The whole ordeal was taking place 60 light years from earth so Rook probably found the nearest Wayland-Yutani mining colony and ploted the course with the decaying station for that colony in hopes he could lure someone from the colony to help him because it would take to long for a team from earth to reach him. So it's safe to assume these were the only samples of the compund and the only Alien specimens Wayland had in their posession.

Saw it last night. Not even close to the third best in the franchise. Obviously the first two cant be touched. But the first half of the movie was looking promising. Story line going along with Alien timeline. The synthetic reminiscent of the original. Then it all went to dog poo. They made the xenomorphs in this one stupid. The thing about the xenomorphs from the originals is that they were in fact somewhat intelligent. The face huggers were clumsy in this one as well. The colonial marines had a hard time handling two with weapons in Aliens. These kids were batting them around like beachballs on a sunday afternoon and there were a butt ton of them. Alien 3, Prometheus (albeit boring), and Covenant were all better. AVP better but I know its not a stand alone Alien film. Love the way they showed the older technology like the original movie. There was some good quality parts to the movie I loved. Just the last half and ending and wonky unintelligent xenomorphs killed it. I can go on and on nit picking the whole movie. Im just passing by throwing in my 2 cents. As an Alien fan Id suggest watching it. Basic movie fan, Id suggest watching it. So basically watch it. I think Alien fans will argue over parts but love it cuz well we are a Alien fans. The casual movie goer will love it or hate it. But will talk about it. Personally for me , wasnt my top 5. Definitely had potential though. 6/10

I haven’t watched the movie yet, but in the first alien movie, the xenomorph showed the ability to morph human hosts into eggs so perhaps they allow this xenomorph to do that with some unwilling subjects?
