Oh shit, It's hype time fuckboys!!

Yeah, it was good and creepy. Brought back that sense of dread that was missing from all other Alien movies besides the original.

Ending sucked though.

Watch it again before you see covenant and then tell me which you like better.

As for worst Alien movie, I have to go with Alien 3. I am sad to say it, because one of my favorite directors directed it, Jean-Pierre Jeunet who also did City of lost Children, Delicatessen, Amelie etc. I thought he was weird choice and as it turn out the Alien movie is fucking awful.

Jeunet directed Alien: Resurrection
 
Yeah 3 was fincher. It was good except for the CGI.

Still don't understand what is so appealing about Prometheus. It was visually spectacular, but the story kind of sucked and the dialog was very childish for the most part. It was on the intellectual level of AVP2, but took itself very goddam seriously. If it wasn't for Fassbender, I think it would definitively be the worst Alien movie ever. Instead, it's just probably the worst Alien movie ever.

*patiently waiting for Covenant to come out on DVD*

That's your problem. Prometheus isn't an alien movie. It's not even a prequel. It's a loose origin story.
 
Can we all at least agree the original Alienis the best in the series (no not Aliens).

Also, i don't consider AvP to be a part of the Alien or Predator series. Just a hollywood money grab. God those movies are bad.

As for covenant, still better than the last couple starwars movies.

Starwars is turning into a wait for blu ray series for me unfortunately.

Not sure how the juvenile script, "look ma, I'm acting!" performances, and gaping plot holes are acceptable just because its a loose origin story. I thought it was terrible, but I will give it another chance. Hope I can upgrade it to solidly mediocre.

I mean... There's an AvP novel series plus a handful of games. I used to spend a ton of quarters playing the side scroller AvP arcade game as a kid back in the 90s.

Those movies were poor representations of the series but it's not like some Hollywood think tank came up with the idea themselves of putting both franchises together just to make money. :dunno
 
Yeah I like the old AVP comics. Predator versus Batman was even fun

Heh, I actually think the director's cut of Alien 3 was really good. Better than Aliens. The theatrical version isn't so great, but way better than anything that came after it.

I still have the original 'Dark Horse Presents' AvP issue. :)

I also still have the original 6 issue 'Aliens' story line. (That i still think would have made a KILLER sequel!) And the second 4 issue, all airbrushed artwork, series. I have a couple odds and ends after that, because the art and stories went to crap.

I forget which one it was called but do you remember I think it was alien genocide? There were two different alien factions on one planet and then the scientists show up?
 
Alien 1
Prometheus
Alien Covenant
Alien 3 (other than the cgi alien)
Alien 2
Alien Res

I would rank them in that order. I was expecting more from covenant but thought it was a solid movie. Enjoyed watching it. With all the crap movies that come out i was happy this one was solid. It was not a classic like Alien but a solid movie indeed.


Never seen AVP

I'd rank them thusly:

Alien
Aliens (director's cut)
Prometheus
Alien 3
Covenant
Resurrection
 
Great idea. Piss poor execution.

The downhill run started at: Oh, looks! God gave us a Goldielocks planet, right in our path and it will take a mere months to reach rather than the 7 years to that other mote! The entire crew, less three, will be going planetside to see if it's habitable. Yes, including the captain. What's wrong with you? Don't you know it's a common horror flick trope that every one's completely stupid even though we're supposed to be highly trained scientists and leaders? Sheesh. Next thing you'll say is that if we had the technology to launch a ship capable of interstellar travel carrying thousands of people in metabolic stasis maybe we should have packed a few planet exploratory satellite arrays?

And it wasn't that the story would have had to be changed dramatically to have included answers for these and other questions. It just showed how lazy the writing was. Lazy storytelling is the worst. If I want that I'll watch anime.

Fair, which is one reason Prometheus was better

That is the worst in the series.

NO WAY. Aliens 3 was hella the worst. I have seen it twice and decided never to bother again. 1,2 and 4, I have watched many times. Resurrection was fun total Sci-Fi fun. The Basketabll scene? Love it. :laughing

ALIENS is the best one, hands down. Even Prometheus was better than Aliens 3.
