Alien franchise that we’ve never been before, and to discover things that you’ve never seen before.

this just smacks of writing a film by devising a bunch of action sequences and reveals then smushing it together hoping that the big shinny sequences distract from the plot and characters being wafer thin cardboard cutouts like last time.

Its terrible writing to work like this, cobbling together a script around predefined points. Its typical of film writing by committee where everybody on the committee has to add in their idea they came up with independent of the script to demonstrate their value.

I just hope the next movie isn't a bunch of kids again. No offense to the 20-something-year-old readers here, but having a variety of age groups is an important part of the diversity in a movie, and something which the franchise has been better with in the past.

Full penetration.

It's ducks and you can't convince me otherwise.

Yeah generally sequels show new things in them

Somehow, Ripley returned…

A good script?

Studio executive: let's do alien cats! Yeah, no one will be expecting that! What about alien cows? I'm on a roll here! Alien dwarves!

Dunno man. I get the best kicks out of arcs that explore the evil mankind is capable of, but the movies seem to keep chucking large amounts of cgi and jump scares. It's like they don't care about the source material at all. Now it's all about scientist or goofy kinds on a jaunt in space, make goofy decision, discover or release alien spawn, firefight, running, showpiece shot, etc

Titties?

I read this as Romulan and was very excited for a whole movie / series based around them... I don't even really care that much for star Trek but I got slightly excited...

Anyway... This is pointless but yeah
