I just watch this and I have to sayit's okay
okish
It's very fucking far from okay.
Cailee bum Cailee toes
>>214210818I enjoyed aspects of it. It’s not the worst Alien film, that’s for goddamn sure.
>>214210818Yeah its good. Its up there with the first two parts
>>214210818I loved the part where the black android changed. I wish that lasted longer and was more important to the plot.
>>214210818For me it's a 6/10 If it didn't have the groan-inducing unforced errors of Ian Holm's CGI face and the "Get away from her, you b-b-bitch" I might be able to give it an 8/10
>>214210818At least with The Force Awakens I didn't realize it's a complete rehash until they began assaulting the Starkiller BaseWith this shit I was waiting for it to stop being a rehash since the very first minute
>>214211011I mean it's down there
>>214211204those plus some awkward moments where it just looks like bad capeshit cgi like where she shoots them all in zero gravity
>>214210818yeah i guess. i thought we we're getting a sequel to davids arc from prometheus and covenant but no such luck. seems like a liminal story that will segway into a new disney verse alien
it was entertaining enough, especially compared to whatever the fuck Prometheus and Covenant were, but it still wasn’t very good as a movie part of me wishes the franchise would just die as Alien’s and Aliens’ corpses have been abused enough
>>214211204>>214212932Yeah, that sounds about right, It's average, elevated to slightly above only because Cailee is super fuckable.I would watch more like these for sure, though I would like them to try more stuff instead of leaning so much on stuff from the other movies.
The scene where the bald girl gets facehugged was so hot. One of the hottest Ayylmao scenes other than the end of Alien obviously and the scene where the eggs get pumped down that girl's throat
>Prometheus>Alien>Alien Resurrection>Aliens>Alien 3 (the extended cut) >Alien Covenant>Alien Romulus this is my ranking
>>214213195>Prometheus at the topExplain????
>>214213289I like the production and OSTits flawed from a script point of view but I like that it took risks and tried to do something new instead of the same ol>crew getting picked off by xenos in a tight spaceI like the idea of a group of scientists looking for our possible creators and all the things the movie touches onShaw and David are interesting charactersalso has some memorable set pieces
>>214213425I understand and can agree with that, I don't think it's the best, but it's definitely pretty good but it has some really stupid bits for sure, that one in pic related was weird, the scene when Shaw extracts that thing from her is amazing but then she walks around half-naked and looking all beat up and no one seemed to notice or care
>>214213195I like this ranking except swap the first 2. also, if it counts i would place that fan made combination of Prometheus and covenant as first
>>214211011It was for me. Even the nu-Ridley slop at least had me interested in where it would go.Disney is burning the candle at both ends for the Alien IP and even I'm surprised at how little I care about any of it. If it isn't weird, gross, and at least a little psychosexual, then it isn't Alien.
>>214210818>Alien/Aliens>Alien 3>Romulus>Prometheus>Alien Ressurection>Alien CovenantThis is the only objectively true ranking of the franchise and /tv/ will only disagree because they're all contrarian
>>214210993...where the hell was that fucking dog?
>>214211880>with The Force Awakens I didn't realize it's a complete rehash until they began assaulting the Starkiller BaseIt was a rehash from the appearance of Starkiller Base in the poster alone.
>>214216410ew
I am looking forward to seeing the incels on this board seethe in unison over tonight's episode of Alien Earth currently rated at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes as of this writing.The hate bandwagon is fake + forced by anti-Disney MAGAtards who can't appreciate postmodern expression.
>>214213195Prometheus is a retarded movie. The supposed scientists on space exploration act like what they are: Stock characters in a horror film. Meanwhile, David has somehow masterminded every minute detail of the plot as if he as writing the script. It's a terrible film.
>>214216489i didn't even know there is an alien show
>>214216498you write a better onethe scientists act like scientists in real life
>>214216489Not sure what the angle is on your rping babble but the last episode was surprisingly interesting, best one so far. Whatever connections there are to Alien are just obviously a superficial afterthought and the show would be better without them.
>>214216550You can find at least 4 better films right here >>214213195
>>214216618name 4 (4)
>>214216769AlienAliensAlien 3Alien: Romulus
>>214216835>sstopped reading there. that shit sucks
>>2142168353 + Romulus sucked ass.Alien is akin to Star Wars in that there are only 2 good movies in the entire franchise.
>>214216835>Alien 3>better than any other movie that exists, including amateur ones shot by kids on home cameras or phones'no'
>>214216875>>214216883>>214216886>samefag
>>214216835There's a powergap between each of those movies.
>>214216906>brapfag
>>214216923Yes, and from there to Prometheus
>>214216997Shut the fuck up retard.
>>214216997After Aliens, it doesn't matter. Like I'm sure that you can objectively prove that the feces produced by a grain-fed cow is more toxic or carcinogenic than that of a grass-fed cow, but you're eating shit regardless.
I was into it for the first fifteen or so minutes. And then the hackneyed way a group of misfit teenage slaves managed to get aboard a gorillion dollar spaceship kind of took me out of it. Then the first kill happened, and I almost fell asleep. Then the rest of the movie happened, and I did fall asleep.The only thing that I found interesting and/or horrifying was the last fifteen minutes. Not that is was particularly scary, but I did like the concept of the Bloodborne Babby and his(?) initial appearance. That being said; did anybody get the impression aforementioned final act was directed by Ridley Scott? The lighting, editing, and cinematography looked completely different from the rest of the movie and the tone felt straight out of Prometheus. I'm like 90% sure he directed that ending, which feels a bit tacked on to begin with.Anyway. The fucking movie felt like it was four hours long despite only being two. No chemistry between any of the cast and the android was gay as fuck, even if it was a good technical performance, and it was. Shame the franchise could never cast somebody decent to play one of the fifty non-android characters so that maybe I actually give a shit when they die.3/10, never rewatching, zero interest in a sequel.
>>214216410>contrarianuhh actually, Prometheus is higher rated on IMDB than alien 3
>>214217153>They killed muh newt and hicksYeah, it's Alien, people gonna die
>>214217090Not necessarily disagreeing, but Alien 3 has enough cool stuff going to reach uneven mediocrity, while Romulus at least works as a generic teen slasher with a mildly interesting performance by the android guy.Prometheus, meanwhile, was one big waste of time, money and talent for everyone involved.
>>214217196>mildly interesting performance by the android guy.Squinting your eyes like you have Trisomy 21 for the whole film is not """interesting""" at all.
>>214217135The only good bit was the humanoid alien. The regular alien has been done too much before and so has zero weight. Which is probably why they made the hack choice to just throw in a thousand of them instead of trying something new like Prometheus.
>a one-off* vidya gaem from 2014 developed by a comparatively small team of literally whos that only ever developed RTS titles is the only genuinely great work in the franchise since 1979is Hollywood even trying?
>>214217316It was good up until it turned into stealth Call of Duty.Also, vidya isn't art. Hollywood's worst still outranks it.
Theres nothing wrong with a movie having fan references to old movies, even doing it as much as this movie did is fine. As long as it isnt a thing for every movie in the series.
>>214217337Who the fuck cares about art?>The film also draws inspiration from the video game Alien: Isolation (2014).[27] This involved integrating the emergency phone registration points from the game into the film's set design. These phones, which functioned as save points in the game, served as easter eggs that would foreshadow impending danger for the audience.[28] The pregnancy of character Kay was inspired by Dina from The Last of Us Part II (2020) due to Álvarez playing the game while writing the film.[29][30]lul, these niggas can't even write screenplays without >>>/v/. Gaben won.
>>214217393Bullshit.There's no reason for the nigger bot to utter "Get away from her" decades prior to Aliens in the same timeline. It's peak lazy writing & proof that it can't stand on its own.
>>214217337>ArtRoger Ebert said the same, and then he apologized and then he died, don't be like Mr. Ebert, anon.
>>214217397>Alvarez also admitted that TLOU2 inspired RomulusThis man is a dipshit.
>>214217450>then he apologizedFor what?
>>214217316It's good for a licensed game but as a licensed game it also gets away with shit people wouldn't tolerate in a "real game".>>214217337>Hollywood's worst still outranks it.You don't earnestly believe this.
>>214217484It basically goes like this.>Ebert said games could never be art>tons of people called him an idiot>he then apologized for speaking about games without knowing anything about themSo he gave his opinion on something without knowing anything about it, not unlike calling a movie shit without seeing the movie, nonetheless he maintained his opinion, I bet he posted here regularly.
>>214217393>Theres nothing wrong with a movie having fan references to old moviesHonestly, Romulus makes me realize I haven't been hard enough on these superfluous appeals to nostalgia. If you ever want another movie as good as the original, Alien or whatever else, then you can't tolerate that trash in the slightest degree.
>>214217537Look, video games are not art whether you like it or not, pal. You should've listened to Miyamoto. Any project you directly interact with is no longer art, but a toy. Vidya is the latter and what its intended for as electronic products. A moving picture is the director's vision and what he wants the audience to see and not touch.Your method of thinking is why the vidya industry is currently plagued with woke movie games and your kind deserve to be gatekept out of the my fucking hobby.
it stunk like fuck and had a poopy retard ass
>>214210818>it's shit.Fixed it for you.
>>214217316That's a weird way of spelling 1986
>>214217568>>Ebert said games could never be artAnd he was correct.>>tons of people called him an idiotBecause modern gamers are fucking idiots plagued with sonygger-coded brainrot, no different from """people""" who voted for Biden.>>he then apologized for speaking about games without knowing anything about themOnly because he was dying from cancer. His apology had layers of insincerity. He didn't truly think toys meant for children and mentally-stunded invalids could ever surpass the visual medium, and it still hasn't and never will.
>>214217683Aliens fucking sucked and is only loved by paint-huffing genetic deadends like you.
>>214217622You sound like you think before you speak a lot for how many specific assumptions you got from that.Anon, your earlier post came across as though you think too highly of Hollywood and of the concept of art in general. Art doesn't mean anything is good and the ways in which vidya can be said to be artistic isn't 1:1 comparable to film as film isn't 1:1 with prose.
>>214217715You just have shit taste, it's okay to be wrong
>>214217746>Art doesn't mean anything is good and the ways in which vidya can be said to be artistic isn't 1:1 comparable to film as film isn't 1:1 with prose.It's subjective, moron. You're looking at it with an objective lens.
It's one of the better sequels and I imagine people dislike it for having a black character
>>214217753Explain how turning the xenos from eldritch rape horrors into generic vidya-tier space bugs was """good""" in any sense.
>>214217796Hardly, everyone adores this niggah
>>214217796No one complained about Parker you fucking pinko.
>>214210818Most level headed take I've heard on this movie.To me is in the top 3 alien movies. Which isn't really saying much.
>>214217784Well if that's your perspective, why bother posting as though you think it's something objective, to be right or wrong about?
>>214217808How are they not still eldritch rape monsters? Are you one of those fags that's still angry that they changed the ending where the Alien speaks with Ripleys voice?
>>214217836Alien is the only cinematic film in the catalogue. The rest are barely movies, no one should even consider them good.
>>214216410Prometheus whould be the worst
>>214217836>>214217874Stop replying to bait.
>>214218058Fuck i might actually agree with you the more I think about it, they really fucked up the engineers
>>214217957Because they're supposed to be near-invincible predatory stalkers, not jobbers that can be mowed down by mere gunfire. Alien used to be high brow expression before Cameron dumbed it down for plebs.
>>214218166>how do we make it scary?>make it invincible!That's gay as fuck and you know it
>>214210818It's MORE than ok
>>214213289>>214213425Based
>>214218406I like how she never appears in tidy whities like Weaver did in '79 because Alvarez was too chickenshit to yell at her to get half-naked, so she wears boy shorts and an implied diaper when not in uniform.
Romulus was the first time I had fun watching an Alien movie since Aliens.
>>214218406Gotta do something about the hormones in the water stunting growth. The only adult in the cast is the horrible CGI Ash.
>>214217836based
>>214218406Now imagine if she'd been wearing a tank top and panties for the final sequence
>>214218406It would've been more than OK if she had way less clothes in the last 15 minutes of the movie.
>>214218942Yeah, everyone looked too damn young in this film except for the Company corpos.The main cast is supposed to be roughly the same age as the Nostromo crew, but they look like they all just came out of high school. Gen Z really is the most pampered generation thus far.
>>214218638>>214218976>>214218976>>214219071Gen Z doesn't like sexualized imagery in movies compared to older generations. They're more sensitive to it since nudity doesn't add anything to a film's narrative.
>>214219111Sad but true.
>>214219111So it really makes no sense dressing up Rape Monster: The Movie to appeal to that demographic.
>>214217695>>>Ebert said games could never be art>And he was correct.Seems like neither of you all ever played a Kojima game.
>>214218406DUDE... i-is that... a young 6/10 womans???? AAAAAAAHHHH MUST WATCH THIS MOOOOOOBIEEEEE AAAAAAAAHHHHH
>>214216550I just took a shit that was better written than Prometheus
>>214219111>They're more sensitive to it since nudity doesn't add anything to a film's narrative.>nudity doesn't add anything to a film's narrativeWAT
>>214219322WHEN I THINK ABOUT YOU, I TOUCH MYSELF
>>214219235>>214219235>Seems like neither of you all ever played a Kojima gameGayest thing I've read today.
>>214219273have my updoots kind commenter
>>214219208Indeed, but Shitsney is trying to rebrand the franchise for the Young Adult demographic for no reason.
>>214219235Kojima doesn't make video games.He's a westaboo hackfraud who sucks up to Hollywood and rips off his peers. He's also recently drunk up the globohomo kool-aid and went woke with Death Stranding. His creations are an affront to actual video game design & helped accelerate the push for more movie game slop.
>>214219273/thread
>>214219397This. I gagged reading that.
her ass really elevated this 6/10 flick to an unforgettable kino experience
>>214216410The niggahs who hate Prometheus also use words like slow burn and think slashers are cinematic films
>>214219239cope more virgin
>>214216498>The supposed scientists on space exploration act like what they are: Stock characters in a horror film.Science worshippers get the rope.
>>214219682I know rite? Only the chaddiest chads like the average looking girls in the zoomer reboot slop flicks!!!
>>214211114The black android was useless except being a key for opening doors.
>>214219519You barely get a glimpse of it, dude.
>>214211204>we could have just had Paddy Considine playing a synthetic with the same model as SamuelsWhy even live
>>214221431wat Was Paddy Considine on track to be in Alien: Romulus?
>>214218638My nigga Fede more than made up for it with all those gratuitous pit shots >He knows
>>214221563That's what I heard but I can't find any source on it now
>>214219111It's woke brainwashing. They don't like sexualized imagery of women but tolerate sexualized imagery of men.
>>214217135
>>214211011it is
>>214216432Magnus was devoured in a deleted scene, but test audiences found it too traumatic. They ultimately decided to cut the dog entirely from the movie.
>>214219239>6/10touch grass i beg you
>>214217316Based. Isolation is better than 90% of the Alien franchise. And WAY scarier than all over them combined. It's funny how redditors whine that it's not worthy just because they need to actually interact and participate. They'd rather hide behind the couch with their eyes covered and the lights on, screaming that the protagonist is so stupid and they'd have done sooo much better against the monster.
>>2142108975.5/10 (still have to skip through a lot of shit)
>>214210951Only thing it had going for it, everyone knows.
