The real alien is the friends they make along the way. It's a deep message. You should give the film another try.

I enjoyed it for what it was. Nothing is ever "deep" or ground breaking in the series, I dont think. I guess the scrappers kind of made sense in this dystopian setting.
Though, a lot of stuff just doesnt make sense in even the most mundane scenes. Like thinking back to covenant/prometheus, why did he release basically the full fucking payload of alien shit in just one area? A handful of those bombs would have obliterated that city and that would have went on to the destroy the world in record time. But also, if they protected themselves - they would have blown that city up in seconds and that would have been "that" so to speak. Never mind that in modern day earth, if we did a comparable situation - an unexpected war vessel full of world ending bombs showing back up on our shore after no contact for several years - we would have had an incredible amount of military show up on its door step in record breaking time. So for an advanced civilization to not have the same precautions in place is just an obnoxious fallacy. Never mind their actual look - unless they devolved, technologically? Which could be explained somewhere and I missed it? Cause they did look a little archaic.
Its good popcorn flick for me because I like the setting, the theme, etc. This one could have been much better. I was legit hoping that the world this one was set on WOULD ACTUALLY SHOW US what it would be like if Aliens were to be released on a futuristic world and how humanity would fight back against them.

Comes with Hulu subscription now, I think. Saw it pop up when we went to watch an old Amazing Race season.

I’m sure originally it was supposed to be a lot of things. Such as a Hulu movie. Or a good movie.

Still haven't watched the movie but I figured I would post this for those of you that have, no clue how relevant it is but I trust this dude. He's nerdier than anybody else about the aliens and Predator franchises....

Fuck me running. I think I'm 20 minutes into this because it's now five or six bucks to rent, and it's so goddamn infuriating. I was just bitching to my wife about it because I was watching it in my office, and she said why are you watching it. My responses because I can't talk about how bad it is unless I actually see it.
Oh my God it's way worse than I thought it was going to be. Maybe it picks up, but it's just retarded, nothing makes any goddamn sense from a logical standpoint.
I really think I'm right with the force awakens deal that

confirmed. Dude, you probably hit the nail on the head.
I'm going to go pour me a cocktail, and do my best to power through, but holy shit. I'm in the movie looks great which that's what you expect in this day and age, although everything is CGI and I appreciate the model work, which maybe they use that but I'm not necessarily seeing it.
Like I said I'm only 20 minutes in and Andy is probably the most interesting character. I guess I'm at the point where they just got to the space station, but I don't need to know anything else about everybody because they're all forgettable and throw away characters, versus the other three good alien movies.
I'll report back with my findings / rantings, but like I predicted, this is going to be an utter piece of shit.
Thanks old man Ridley, I could have watched a really good alien movie done by Blombcamp, or at least something a hell of a lot more logical and true to the Canon.

Acid time was pretty funny. The old elevator trick was kinda stupid though. Right out of bugs bunny or scooby doo.

I just got done watching it, and I wish I could go back in time and see Alien Resurrection in the theater again and because it'll be like an episode of quantum leap where I was telling myself you should enjoy it, Alien Resurrection better than what the future holds, enjoy it.
This was by far one of the shittiest movies I've seen in a very long while. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around just how bad it is, and probably tomorrow all kind of go through it, but oh my God I wish I could hurt this movie as much as it hurt me.
I know I had stated multiple times within the thread that this was going to be a turd, but I didn't know how stinky and sloppy it was going to be.
Fuck me running...
I just don't understand how you can spend millions upon millions of dollars and years upon years of work on something so shitty, and then still get a paycheck. Well I kind of answered my own question, but it's very obvious towards the ass end that it was meant to be a pilot for that stupid Hulu series, but then they decided to make it a feature film, and it shows.
Surprisingly the only character I really gave a shit about was Andy, talk about some subversion. Everybody else was completely forgettable or canon fodder.
What irritates me the most is I know even if the Neil Blomkampf version may not have been as good as the first three, it would have been oscar-worthy compared to this pile of shit. I do think it would have been a great movie though but you catch my drift.
God damn, this is horrible, and if you liked it on any level, I hope you get alien acid on your wenis.
Even a bunch of tequila didn't help.

I think MST3K and Rifftrax broke me, while I think the ending of this movie kinda sucks overall I don't find it really that bad. Compared to shit I've seen this year like Argylle or Rebel Moon this movie is just a regular ass movie. I put it in the same camp as Prey (predator sequel), a movie I don't mind watching but zero interest in ever rewatching again and inferior to the originals.
its basically just dumb kids getting slaughtered by facehuggers and then bits of Aliens done again (not as well but I did like the zero G scenes) followed by a very bizarre third act
