Alien: Romulus (Fede Alvarez, August 16th, 2024) Movie • Page 5

Yeah Resurrection doesn't feel like an Alien movie at all, but it's still interesting.

 

They are worth watching.

 

I'll definitely rewatch the first two and maybe check out 3 and 4 at some point before this comes out. Hell, I might even rewatch Prometheus and Covenant too. I liked those more than most.

 

we planned on doing a full series rewatch (excluding AvP) around the time the Aliens UHD dropped, but the news of a theatrical rerelease of Alien later this month convinced us to start with that as a proper kickoff

 

I would definitely also recommend watching the assembly cut of Alien 3. It’s just so much better imo

 

does anyone ever wish they’d only ever seen the first and or second movie of a series

sometimes the sequels stink so much it ruins it for you

 

You should watch AvP and skip Requiem tbh

 

I've never seen Aliens, Alien 3 or Alien Resurrection. I saw both of the AvP movies and never plan on watching them again. Prometheus and Covenant were okay but I also don't plan on watching them again.

At the very most I'll maybe watch the kill counts for Alien 3 and resurrection.

 

definitely remedy this for Aliens. just as good as the first one.

 

i'll consider it. probably wanna watch the other Predator films first just for a little more context/exposure (even if it's not required). saw Predators years ago at a friend's house. watched Prey when it came out and absolutely loved it, leading me to pick up the steelbook when it dropped.

 

Someday. Romulus takes place before Aliens so maybe I'll finally watch it after I see this film.

 

3 Assembly rips. Resurrection is dogshit

 

Can anyone even actually watch Requiem? Just turn off your TV and gaze at the black screen for the same experience

 

Alien Resurrection is one of the weirdest big-budget blockbusters ever made. It is worth watching.

 

maybe it's the more morbid, isolated tone of 3 (combined with the jarringly rotoscoped rod puppet), but i think i slightly prefer Resurrection.

 

Resurrection was the first one I saw as a kid and I saw it many times. Stuff like the Ripley clones or the baby human-alien are as memorable as anything in the series. It isn't a good movie, but it is a creative one.

 

Agreed

 

I remember that summer our babysitter took us to see something, possibly MIB. The trailer for Resurrection played before and I was floored when I saw the swimming xeno’s.

 

I’ve seen the climactic ending scene of of Resurrection on YouTube before. It’s pretty so bad it’s good. Hilarious and grotesque.

 

Resurrection is campy and honestly kinda fun.

 

do you just not like these movies? lol

perhaps even better, depending on who you ask

truly unwatchable, both from a technical standpoint and execution-wise

 

Never saw resurrection but now I’m intrigued.

 

Resurrection is the worst of the franchise (excluding AVP: Requiem) but it's definitely fun and weird. That's why I like this franchise; the good films are good, and the bad films are, at the very least, interesting.

 

Alien is the better movie but I’d rather rewatch Aliens.

 

The only Alien film I've seen that I liked is the first Alien. The AvP and Prometheus duology I didn't care for, but saw them in theaters. That said I'm looking forward to this one because the trailer, cast, and director.
