MemberNeomorphAugust 14, 2017Alien 3 was made in 1992 and is my favorite movie in the franchise this far. You see how isolated the prisoners are and even though they have made nasty shit they come off as real characters. There are distinct traits between them (Golic, Morse, Dillon, Ripley). In AR it became a joke and I am not sure about what happened.
Prometheus was released in 2012 and the movie is sort of OK (2 of 5 from me) but there is so much stupid shit in that movie and so few good characters so it feels like a sad miss that could have been so much better. Alien Covenant was said to scare the hell out of people and would bring the Xeno back but what happened? Most of the characters were under-developed and it became about a mad android, which I dislike. David was better in Prometheus but was alright in Covenant but I don’t like the focus on a mad android at the expense of human characters. I probably prefer Covenant compared to Prometheus.
What do they need to do to get the next movie right or the franchise in general?
