That scene with the light being used to see the chest buster looks all kinda of fricked hoping this movie doesn’t end being another Covenant


As in completely illogical and stupid? A rather large alien fetus is thrashing around in your chest and you only realize because of a light that somehow shines completely through your body?

Did you watch a different trailer?


In what way will this not suck lol. It's literally the same shite we've seen over and over and over again.

There are only so many directions you can go with Alien. It's always going to be some version of a smallish group in an isolated location getting picked off by the xenonorph.

It's hard to make an Alien romantic comedy. Every Alien movie is just going to be some variation of the above setup and the quality is going to be determined by the execution.

Horror movie with the well known aliens. Doesn't appear to have any meaningful place in the story at all.

I'm not sure that's a bad thing. I was OK with Prometheus and even Covenant, but the worst parts of those movies were driven by trying to make the movie fit a larger story.

They both got overly complicated and internally inconsistent because they had to fit the larger plot narrative.

My hope for this one is by being outside the larger story, it can be a simple, straightforward, claustrophobic horror movie. Being based on the Isolation video game is a good start. It doesn't have to rock my world or set a new standard, just being simple and effective would put it on a path to be the 3rd best movie in the franchise.

Is one of the best in the biz. If his show fails it’s time to retire Aliens forever.

I fully believe Fede will deliver the best Alien movie since Cameron was in the director's chair. Y'all are gonna be wrong if you think this will be trash.

I'm trying to temper my expectations. I took the bait for The Predator 2018 trailer.
