    Not saying it’s going to be bad but what’s the point of this movie, or any other new Alien movie for much as I love the franchise. We know the drill, an alien killing a crew one by one until the last one kills the alien, why going over this all over again?

    Nothing really stands out. Looks like just more Aliens. I liked Evil Dead 2013, so I’ll hold my judgement.

      I welcome some good old aliens, instead of the AvP or Prometheus junk. We haven’t had a decent alien film since '92, that’s 32 years!

    I have never seen Alien 3 or the 4th one whatever it was called, but I feel like I’m in the minority group that really enjoyed Prometheus and Covenant (could be because my head-canon is that the only canonical movie is the first) so I’m excited for this
