Nice little tease. It does at least look leaps and bounds better than Covenant. (But that's of course not necessarily saying much). Funny that they're returning to the Prometheus music when everyone bitched about that movie and made Ridley Scott birth the abomination Covenant.

That music IS bitchin', though...

I like the return to the Prometheus production design. The teaser is nice, and might even work better than the movie itself with the screams and then revealing the blood, but then the last shot of the Alien at the end is boring and overdone. It just looks like it's going to be a repeat of space truckers stuck with Xenomorph(s).

Ridley Scott said it best when he said the Xenomorph is "Done. Cooked." 🥱

But maybe the cool space station-looking setting and atmosphere will make it work.

I'll hold out a little hope, but not much.

There's been 8 Alien movies and only 2 of them have been good. And almost 40 years since the last good one. There's not much to be hopeful about.

Well, until Ridley Scott ruined the lore with Covenant I liked them all, even the flawed sequels. There were things to enjoy.

Movie looks good from the teaser, Holding out hope it is good

Predator got a good sequel recently in the form of Prey, Its time for Aliens to get one.

I mean AvP1 wasn't bad if you want to count that.

So is the Engineers supposed to be in it?

The big goofy very dumb Engineers?

I love these films, I'll definitely watch it when it drops.

I may be being overly harsh. I quite enjoy 3 because I like Fincher's direction. It gets a lot of harsh treatment over what happened to Newt and Hicks. I think the design of the dog Alien is one of the better ones in the franchise.

Yeah, I always felt 3 was underrated. The nihilistic disposal of Newt and Hicks fits the series. It's a pretty big shame we'll never see his true vision of the film, though, because he had such a miserable time he abandoned it, but the Assembly Cut (I think is what it's called) is pretty good.

Apparently Fede says he made everything practical, so that's good.

I have no idea. I doubt it, but it would be cool as shit if they surprise us with an appearance.

I get major Prometheus vibes with the production from the teaser, so it would fit.

I'm going to take back what I said and say this actually looks like it could be decent. Even with the trash cast.

watched the trailer this morning


looks rather interesting

could see

^^^^well you know hollywood just wants to reboot and remake

Same, i don't find them scary anymore too. but i still like seeing them in action.

Give me a proper Prometheus 2 or IDGAF.

^ With Ridley Scott back at the helm?...**** that, Need someone else helming it at this point.

That's why I said "proper." Ridley would be fine as long as they brought Lindelof back to continue what he started.

This just needs to bomb so they'll get a clue.

*Watched New Preview*


They're clearly going back to their Alien and somewhat Aliens roots, so more of the same, and that's fine as it still looks like a decent scifi horror flick.

Not a huge fan of the new xeno design PL posted a pick of on the last page. Looks too much like a xeno/Venom crossbreed. They nailed the look of the xeno early on, no need to change it now.

Unless that xeno isn't a xeno that busted out of a human?

^ I don't know if that's even from this movie. 🤷

Seems to me that there's a new Xeno for this movie, As its an abandoned lab whatever the **** that they were doing.

I got tickets for this because a friend wanted to go see it together. IMAX.

I've looked into it a bit more and the director does seem to be taking a good approach, so I'll maintain some cautious optimism even though it seems it's going to take nearly a goddamn miracle to bring the series back from the dead after the last entry (I think the director even WINK-WINKED diplomatically that Covenant is terrible).

I'm keeping my hype level low, but there does seem to be some decent buzz...

I don't think I know much of the cast except for the girl who was in Civil War. Cailee Spaeny. She's good.

^ So how does it look? I've heard good things, but I'm not watching.

Reveals a bit more about the plot which piqued my interest. Beyond that it seems more a recut of previous trailers. Still looks good though.

I did hear a little more of the premise and I like it. Something about them trying to scavage an abandoned space station. Sounds good, simple, and creepy. I like it.

Yeah that. I was thinking it was another rehash of the settlers moving to another planet stuck on a ship or deep space crew encounter abandoned ship type story.
