Alien: Romulus - Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead) to write/direct

Looks ok.

Although not a popular opinion, I liked Covenant and Prometheus, I like anything scifi, a bit scary and real feeling. The Alien films for me always felt real compared to stuff like star trek where everything is perfect and they all wear matching uniforms!

I think some of you want every film to be like Aliens, for me it just had too many .... Aliens in it. I prefer the slower pace of 1 or 3, and the last 2 films for me were well made, had that "feel" that could only be achieved with the big budget.

I also liked both movies, the cinematography is in another class compared to the earlier ones that have some very dubious scenes to say the least.
 
Bit disappointed if its just really "Alien" again, IE, small set cast stuck on a ship with an Alien, we got that already and wont be as good as the first. Was kind of hoping to move the story more without all of Ridleys backstory rubbish.

Aha, it's true! Most say they're fans but only really like the first two.

Unironically think Resurrection is the second best in the franchise after Alien. It knows exactly what it is, has fun with itself and tries to do something different.

I quite liked 3 actually.
Then it got bad.

Seen a mini trailer for romulus.
Looks like event horizon atmosphere with aliens.

That's a great trailer, especially with the sound up :cool:

It's a new addition to the ALIEN saga, what's not to like.

trailer - Had the previous movies ever had swearing ? ..
has time/technology/weapons not evolved too, like the beeping proximity sensor, matter transporter like startrek would change the game too.
looks like the aliens evovled a la Judge Dredds hot-shot.

You do realis ethat throughout all of the Alien films certain things remain consistent right? Things that embody the whole franchise and are the signature style of the story? Bond would not be Bond without an Aston Martin, can you imagine if 007 went eco and got a KIA EV or something instead?

You do know that it's set betwixt Alien and Aliens, right? So why would weapons and technology have 'evolved'?
