I think Fede is a very talented director in this space. His visuals and the set designs are excellent. I'll be checking for all his projects from now on..

Dope film. One of the best looking films in the series and it combines the styles and details of all the other films in a satisfying way. The 2 lead performances are on point too.
Some parts of the movie tie directly into Alien, other parts into Prometheus, but they don't focus on that because the characters and story can hold their own. They can do a few more movies in this series and add more to the mythology that way.
That being said hopefully we still get another David film, or possibly a limited series? to give that storyline closure.
You can't please everybody, like some people want the more ambitious and original lore based films, others just want to replicate 1 & 2. This is more or less the latter, and it works. If you're a fan of the series I think you should like this. Even if its not flawless or original, its just a well made film.

The organism at the end definitely had Engineer DNA. Which is human DNA anyway but still, it was a lot more Engineer than Xenomorph.

I thought the search was for the origin of human life.
The whole aliens and bio chemical storyline was just a what he stumbled upon
It’s really all about the engineers
And that’s why we need a Prometheus sequel

You just gotta come to terms that the actual “aliens” are the side story
They’re just bi products of what the engineers and Weyland were trying to do.
Aliens and horror elements draw you in but the larger story line is actually

You're right. He really was great in that role.
Yeah, that's one thing that I will say...those people who saw early screenings or whatnot that said the 3rd act was "terrifyingly chilling" and other hyperbolic verbiage like that was putting that extra Polynesian sauce on it lol.
It certainly was a good 3rd act (imo) but I wouldn't exactly use those words. I never really thought Rain & Andy were in any real danger fr, even in the elevator scene where I thought they might
have Andy sacrifice himself jumping back down into the shyts. I will say tho they could've fleshed scenes out more like the Xenomorph stalking the pregnant girl to get them to open the door to show off more of its intellect. That moment was close to chills as it might get.

That's not true breh.
They are only the side story because Ridley is HELLBENT on telling his prometheus/A.I storyline and won't let any director other than him do anything new with The Aliens because James Cameron's movie/take was seen as better
. That's why he STOPPED that Alien 5 movie from being made.

What was ALIEN 5 supposed to be?That's not true breh.

I fell like after this movie success any scrapped Alien move can now get the green light
And just maybe they reboot Prometheus and we get 1-2 more films

Merced is 23. They both look good to me. Cute in the face. They just don’t got body

I'm concerned about this FX series. I know it's slightly off topic but wouldn't aliens appearing on earth prior to the 'Alien' timeline fukk up some continuity?
Explain that for me..

I knew I’ve seen Andy before. He was good in this random British romantic comedy from a few years ago
This alien movie kinda makes him out a “poor mans” leading blacks actor. At first I also thought they could’ve cast someone else but…..
He’s actually a decent up incoming actor
Probably will get some major roles after this
