Things doesn't look too good and we are looking at another mediocre passable Alien movie once again. Prometheus suffered from Indiana Jones 4 syndrome - the "I wanted this movie to be great and IT WAS!!!!!.... was it?" denial syndrome. You will see that its overall response dropped drastically after release. If "interstellar version of Friday The 13th not called Jason X" is what I can expect out of this, I'd take that without much thinking. That sounds pretty damn fun, honestly.

Not too long either. The Wrap review is exactly what I wanted "interstellar version of Friday the 13th". So you're okay with Alien being reduced to a Friday the 13th type franchise, i.e. the lowest form of cinema? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's your opinion. @baumer please enlighten him. But yeh, I don't think Alien is being "reduced" to anything. It's a horror film in space. Nothing more. Prometheus tried to make it more than it was, and it backfired. Edited May 7, 2017 by Krissykins 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Alien and Aliens are another level. Everything else is a lower level. A much lower level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I would never watch a film and post about it throughout. A film has my undivided attention, every time. Even if it's a shite one (like Prometheus). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this very hard to believe. Part of how I gauge how good a film is is how well it holds my attention.

It's a horror film in space. Nothing more. Prometheus tried to make it more than it was, and it backfired. At this point there's nothing left to do with Aliens. It's all been done. It's a basic concept. Humans get chased and killed by a xenomorph. It's the exact same concept as Friday the 13th. So what more can be done? We don't have Cameron to expand the universe anymore so what you're left with is the same tired concept. So what it comes down to is whether or not you identify with the characters. If the characters are well written, then the film will probably be a success....if they are more like they were in Prometheus, then the film will probably suck. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
