Still going to see it at the weekend though It seems it's been **** over by Sony's desperation to have their own juggernaut franchise. I can't say I'm shocked though as from the first trailer it looked like something they'd smeared the Ghostbusters 'skin' over, and Sony are dreadful for trying to make everything they have blockbuster wise into the next MCU. It is a shame though as I agree, Afterlife was good fun and managed to walk the line between fan service and cynicism very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't like Prometheus or Covenant so I don't mind them bailing on that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pissed me off before the trailer even got started I agree with somewhat about the Alien franchise - I really think Ridley Scott screwed the pooch with this convoluted and dreary Prometheus and the other one… so bring back the Space Marines and go for it! Fede Alvarez, in his defence wrote and directed Don’t Breathe - a really decent low budget home invasion film. well worth checking out! Other than that he did a remake of The Evil Dead and involved in the From Dusk Till Dawn series (haven’t watched either) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pissed me off before the trailer even got started In the wrong hands this is always going to be awful. However Don't Breathe was pretty good, and Alvarez doesn't need to stray too far from that to make a good Alien movie. I prefer the first Alien to James Cameron's sequel because of the atmosphere, which Don't Breathe has in places. I'm hopeful (Not trying to start a debate on alien Vs aliens, both are great films). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though Prometheus was pretty good directly after watching it. Then we started talking about it and it just fell apart. Seen it on the really after and I think it's quite bad. Covenant I never liked.

(similar to when Starship Troopers is on for the 623rd time but I still end up watching it again anyway ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(similar to when Starship Troopers is on for the 623rd time but I still end up watching it again anyway ) I think Prometheus specifically is a lot deeper than the surface level, it’s a fascinating film to me. I think Ridley’s only mistake was tying Prometheus to the alien world, it probably would have worked better as its own standalone film. Covenant was his attempt to bring back in more traditional Alien action which probably didn’t satisfy either side enough, still an enjoyable film for me though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
