[@bigal1024]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

In the movie the on screen description of the Jackson Star Mine Colony is 65 light years from Earth........not 65 million; HUGE difference

Better than those recent Marvel movies.

Best triller movie I have seen in theaters in years

[@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".

[@SimonLeicester]

Great film. Thoroughly enjoyed it

[@VegasStrong1]

Romulus is good but it could have been better . I think that weird thing at end caused it be 9/10 . But Fede did great . Better than covenant and Prometheus

[@Suikojunkie]

it can always be better

[@abhishekghosh2686]

Nothing is perfect.... But honestly Prometheus is my 3rd favourite alien movie and then Romulus... Prometheus is very underrated but that is one of my favourite movie of all time

[@Mass-produced]

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.

[@bebetob2325]

@@Mass-produced I agree there's so much more to Prometheus than just an alien movie.. but it can be related to alot more than just Christianity, llke Anunaki of Sumerians, greek mthology etc. In the Anunaki theory there was 2 alien brothers one of them kept us as slaves the other loved us and gave us knowledge by altering our dna... In Greek mythology Prometheus loved humans and gave them fire(knowledge) against Zeus will..... In Christianity god warned humans against eaating the fruit of knowledge but Lucifer told them to eat it so he gave us knowledge... you see theyre all connected

[@alexg5189]

@@abhishekghosh2686 I feel the same way. Something about the atmosphere and aesthetic of Prometheus is.. mesmerizing. It had some incredibly tense and underrated horror scenes as well, especially the abominations and Shaw rushing to extract the alien fetus. Great movie.

[@elnavales]

*Question for those who already saw it: (below) I don't get where the company got all of those face huggers from. Big Chap wasn't a queen. There were no eggs in the Nostromo wreckage. So is there a Canonic reason, or is this just another creative freedom that will have to be retconned later?

[@Dragonlady141]

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? It’s just a theory but given it was in the first movie when no queen was present it’s a curious concept

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.

[@discountmorty213]

The next one should have her meet amanda before she went into ice to prevent her cancer

[@Inaworldoflove]

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.

[@caev2698]

Holyshit... you're onto something

[@horitauri]

Yes. They try to ignore that it was a nuclear blast that destroyed Nostromo, so it would have totally disintegrated. If anything did remain intact then it would be hurtling through the vacuum of space at hyper speed away from that point basically forever.

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.

It felt like litt a mash up of the two act 1= Alien act 2 Aliens. With a few other things sprinkled in there. Prometheus and resurrection. This was cool fan service for OG fans.

[@suonoblu6650]

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.

Call me crazy, I got a feeling Kay, might still be alive… because she still has that black stuff she injected herself with inside her body and we didn’t see Rain, eject the body. So anything can happen in that 9 year trip.

[@D.P.MorrisConstruction]

Yes I agree, is everyone missing that? She was being fed upon by her hybrid child, but the scene she were she shows the black goo now her blood leaves me to believe she’s still alive and likely fully recovered & mutated upon the arrival after waking from chyro sleep.

I didn't like that the pule rifle had "400 rounds" when the ones later had 99 before a reload but it wasn't bad.

Different caliber. Marines had higher power rounds.
