Alien Covenant

See, I disagree, but I can respect that. Aliens is a damned fine action horror. I'd say it doesn't have the raw nerve of Alien, but it does make up for that in sheer kinetic impact.
Respectfully disagreeing is no fun, please inject more apoplectic vitriol in future comments.
 
It will be shit.

There have been 2 good Alien films, and 1 fun sci-fi romp about space pirates. Thats it, and thats all we are going to get thats worth watching.
How many Doctors have been asked "Who"? and how many films have been set in the Skywalkers's neighbourhood?

Didn't you say on the sci fi thread that you have a low bar with sci fi and you were sticking up for Jupiter Ascending... Prometheus was a bit of a mess but come on!
the crime is being boring tbf. And Prometheus, I gave it two goes, just was for me
 
From the director of Legend, GI Jane and A Good Year...
Probably not much room on the sign to mention all his non-spacey, non-alieny films...........

If the sign's gonna mention 'Alien', why not the most recent one? Cos it shits balls, that's why. It's like selectively leaving off crappy jobs from your CV.
 
is that one of the Engineers in the middle there? I couldn't finish prometheus as it was awful

It looks like it might be - it would tie in with the mural we see in 'Prometheus' (a film I quite like despite the flaws). Some of the recently released magazine shots seem to reveal a bit too much in the way of (what we might assume to be) 'Paradise'.

Looking forward to seeing this one.
 
I think Aliens is by far the best film of the franchise.

There, I've said it. Game over man. Game over

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.
IMO it's both futile and unfair to try to nominate a 'best in series' film in the Alien franchise. Alien and Aliens are such different beasts... both have massive merit but are different genres really. One can see how people might have a favourite depending on their personal tastes.

I happen to love both atmospheric horror and sci-fi themes, so I refuse to be dragged into a which-one-is-best argument. But at the least I'm happy to say Aliens must be one of the top three sequels ever made, and one of the best action movies as well.

an outstanding slimpy bastard performance from weyland-yutani company man. Some build up, the balls out all the way. All the best lines 'kill me, please, kill me'
