There is something about this trailer that makes me think and feel that this movie could be a return to form for the franchise. There is perhaps cause for cautious optimism here.

a kind of alien:isolation feel

Thanks for the update!

Forget the movie, get me the RC Facehugger

That looks so awesome!

I don't understand how anybody can tell Ridley Scott how the Alien universe should play out. At this point, you can either like where they're taking the storyline or not; but, I'll still differ to the creator of the franchise out of respect when it comes to where the franchise should go. I can't imagine creating a story and constantly hearing people whom have no involvement in the creation other than being spectators/fans speaking on where the story should go. Everyone has a right to not like any film; however, do non-creators have a right to proclaim what direction a creator should take their work?

I personally thought the last two Ridley films were great and I think you are wrong to say they were dismissed generally, his films, like Bladerunner are slow to become classics and that is reflected in the box office.

I think Ridley has gotten to the age, and "level" (for lack of a better word), where he is simply "mailing in" his movies. He hands off and delegates so much that he basically isn't even the director anymore, he's "only" the executive producer. That was apparent from Prometheus and A:C both, and so, I am QUITE happy if another director---a capable one, like hopefully Fede will prove to be---takes over to preserve continuity and to keep pushing the franchise forward instead of letting it languish with horribly twisted scripts and overpolished, crappy CGI and writing (the direction RS was taking it). I did, however, love the story of prometheus, and thought there were a lot of questions and good bones there, so I still think that that story line can be explored as well, but it sort of needs to be distingushed as the "Prometheus" lineage, as apposed to the "Alien" lineage, so as to not disappoint casual viewers the way it did the first time round.

Watch for spoken spoilers

If it's Disney, it's DOA. This will be a bait and switch, and this will suck. The only way Fox properties get good, is if they are purchased by someone else. Deadpool MIGHT be an exception, and that is only because RR has so much creative control.

Hopefully it's better than Covenant, I couldn't stand that film

Ridley has had some visions for both Blade Runner and Alien that changed overtime and inconsistent with the franchises. Ideas that conflict with the original writers and the best facets. That said I do like Prometheus as its own thing and watch it as such but as an 'Alien' film I can't consider it as canon. Prometheus is a heretical text 😉

Hope I’m wrong but this looks bad. Looks like a star wars movie.

This will flop

I struggled with Prometheus and covenant. I understand it’s Ridley’s creation. But he let Cameron do Aliens, so let Blomkamp do his. The reason Ridley didn’t let it happen is because it would be a continuation from Cameron’s Aliens.

Nothing new here then!

Let me guess, another strong female?

How come the hero is slways a girl??

Young adults as main characters in this genre simply doesn't work...young adults are their target audience and that cannot be good. It is going to be trash movie.

So this is going to be the same movie from 1979? I’m not paying for this crap. This is like the Terminator…it’s done.
