John Marston Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 21 minutes ago, MovieMan89 said: UGH. That trailer really does look like a remake of Alien, except now it's an 80's slasher film complete with shower sex scene kills! This couldn't be more depressing. Prometheus was a fantastic blueprint of where Ridley needed to keep going with this franchise, he just needed to smooth out the rough edges in the script and character development this time. But no, now we take three giant steps backwards instead. Hope the trailer is at least a little misleading for what they're going for here, but it matches up with what's been said about it so I doubt it. Alien was a slasher flick with some sci fi thrown in. This is just following the same blue print as that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the trailer is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A film where nothing happens for 80% of the movie until a ridiculous dwarf Space Jockey gets woken up and turns into Michael Myers. God awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charism Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Too many shots from this 'backburster' scene, but overall - great trailer. Almost as great as Prometheus' one. And probably as much misleading about upcoming quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1stpierre Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Have to say, as a huge ultimate Alien fan, this trailer was kind of bleh for me. I think it's because it looks way to much like Prometheus........and just saying that word makes me want to vomit. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Beezy Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 It looks like it wants to be part philosophical Prometheus and part generic Alien slasher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Pre-production for this movie probably started out as Prometheus 2 so the same-y feeling is not that surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Craig Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I finally saw the trailer and it looks very promising. This is one of those franchises from my 80's formidable days that ranks high as must sees every time an installment comes out. The 'hits' about equal the 'misses' so, here is to hoping that A:C is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it looks fun. As soon as I saw the penis-alien attacking the couple screwing in the shower I knew that this had Scott's fingerprints all over it. Seriously, Scott's genital horror fixation and apparent revulsion with female sexuality will be the subject of doctoral theses some day, if not already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did have that alien/hybrid creature, though. And the omnipresent penis cobra that was inexplicably called a "lovely lady" by one of those doomed assclowns. Not to mention another android (who somehow knew that it could implant an alien larva in a man who would instantaneously impregnate his lover with a pop-up hybrid baby), a woman who had a c-section, lost pints of blood and immediately jump out of the ship and outran a rolling (!) spaceship and an Engineer that got sexually assaulted by the hybrid at the end. Or something like that. Prometheus is another guilty pleasure for me. At one point it kept repeating on cable and I would skip the first hour or so and tune in to watch from the point where the idiotic geologist decided to play with a hissing dick. Between watching them buy it and Theron get rolled over because she ran in a straight line, there has never been a big budget sci-fi film so chock full of stupidity. It's enjoyable if I need a good laugh but someone in that production should have known better than to shoot that script as it was. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
