Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Running through my mental checklist:
Alien - 10/10
Aliens - 11/10 - dialled it up a notch.
Alien^3 - 4/10 - you little bitch, killing off Hicks and Newt offscreen. Looked nice though.
Alien Resurrection - 2/10 - Wait, how do we get Ripley back?
Alien vs. Predator - 1/10 - Just dog crap.
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem - 1/10, same.
Prometheus - 5/10. Needed a bit explaining that the only scientists willing to go on a 4+ year mission completely blind were the STUPID ones.
Alien: Covenant - 2/10 - I don't remember, did I actually WATCH this? I seem to remember being disappointed that they didn't follow up on the promise of Prometheus by finding the Engineers.
I really like Alien Vs Predator but I acknowledge its a terrible alien movie and terrible predator movie. I just like seeing two big screen movie monsters fight it out. Like Godzilla and King Kong or other crazy crossovers.
Alien vs Predator is a solid 6/10, requiem is like a 3/10 wish i could fucking see the final fight ffs
But I’m sure this new installment on an old IP will be another 10/10. We’re gonna break the cycle and then every new remake and continuation will be good until the rest of time and all of our childhood memories will be restored and no longer pissed on and then they’ll remake Spider-Man for a seventh time and it’ll be the greatest movie ever and then we can finally increase the production of new takes on old IPs and we will have endless, engaging movies and well all start spending the $18 for a ticket to watch a movie in the theaters again and climate change will reverse itself and we can increase our carbon output because it turned out that we weren’t released “too much” co2 into the atmosphere, we weren’t releasing enough!
Covenant was so brilliant it went with the "let's kill off some of the protagonists offscreen" of Alien 3 again! Such a great movie to require watching a video on Youtube to understand that and just ignoring the path they were on in the previous movie.
