Distant colony setting, taking place between 1 and 2, nasty violence, all get a thumbs-up from me.

 

Group of teenagers.... again.... iffy.

 

But really, any concept can be good, what matters is the execution.

Fede can make a visually pleasing movie, but aside from terrible concept and cheap cast, what fully sealed the deal for me is Ridley praising it while subtly trolling Fede. I know Ridley very well, it's a terrible sign, he never praises anything unless it's directed by him, Kubrick or George Lucas. He didn't like Aliens, Blade Runner 2049, The Shining and Top Gun: Maverick. So either you believe Ridley really thinks it's better than those 4 or what's more likely he was incredibly insincere as his subtle digs imply, I'm sure he's very pleased with himself. Anyway, it doesn't mean it won't get good critics reviews and I'll watch the trailer because curiosity will take the better of me, but I won't be there to support this in theaters or even watch it on vod, I just want them to stop abusing the corpse and let the franchise finally die in peace, the same with Terminator, that's pretty much it.

Hmm, so sometime this month, hopefully

The way the release schedule looks this should be an easy handoff from Deadpool. And to think people thought Disney would back off of R ratings when they first bought fox

Before these though, The First Omen is R too.

I don't think that's gonna run through the box office the way Deadpool will. But the back half of the summer does not have much competition

Ah I didn’t mean box office sorry, just in your response to them not releasing R rated films through Fox.

Don't Breathe was suspenseful. I think this could be quite good

[JimmyB]

Oh nice! Loved Alien and Aliens and didnt really like anything else from the franchise but this looks good.

[CoolioD1]

It looks cool i like how it emulates the original teaser. A back to basics contained horror flick has been what this franchise needs imo.

[Firepower]

If anything, visually it looks nice as expected, certainly better than Covenant where Ridley dropped the ball hard even on a technical level. Content-wise it looks "been there done that", nearly everything was already done in previous films, that last shot is straigth from Aliens and zero gravity scene is similar to Terminator: Dark Fate. Cast outside 2 main girls looks cheap af.

Ooh didn’t realise this was switched to theatrical. Nice.

 

Promote it as a scary horror sci fi film to bring in younger audiences. 

Oh they did go this route. Like the new trailer. Time to move away from that Prometheus (nonsense) stuff. 

[JWR]

I love how the cinematography harkens back to the eery lighting of the first film while also having the color pallete of 3 and Resurrection. 

[NoobSaibot]

I don't know how its box office will fare, but I believe in Fede to deliver a solid horror film.

[filmlover]

Good teaser. Seeing this for sure.
