They just won’t quit!

[Andrew NDB]

Probably we can expect a Prey-level boiled down Alien thing.

I thought Prometheus and Alien Covenant formed their own spin off series (similar to AvP films) Was Cov. the fifth film and Prometheus the outlier?

Yeah. It's not an Alien movie even though it is.

Prometheus, Covenant and the one that got cancelled after Covenant were the prequel series to the original Alien.

[Andrew NDB]

Going to be Alien: Romulus, apparently.

Sign me up, I really enjoyed Prey.

I know both Prometheus and Covenant have their fans, but... it's a franchise that peaked in the mid-80s and hasn't come anywhere close to recapturing that level of success.

See the Terminator franchise, except the early 90's.

Well, six official installments and three spin-off movies over the course of 45 years is kind of considered a low count these days.

So is this all prequel stuff or how does Ripley even fit into the plot anymore?

It's set between Alien and Aliens.

Ripley hasn't fit into the plot of any Alien movies for almost 30 years. This is an between-quel. Ripley technically sets the plot in this movie in motion by ejecting the Alien Drone from the Narcissus at the end of Alien 1 but spends this movie floating in space asleep, only halfway through her 50+ year journey to Aliens.

Spoiler:

Huh, OK. I guess that would make sense, especially if they're in the vacuum of space. I guess that means the Alien Queen Ripley ejected from the Nostromo in Aliens is floating around the same star system, encased in something similar.

[Andrew NDB]

Aw man... how stupid...

Spoiler:

they literally bring back the "get away from her you B*TCH!" line as a callback. So, so stupid. This is even worse than the callbacks to the lines of Predator in Predators. This is next level stupid. And now if you watch the Aliens movies in order, a newb will be like, "How dumb of Ripley, copying that line from Romulus!"

I'll have to wait till this comes out on the streaming websites in HD. I actually spent money on theaters to watch Deadpool/Wolverine, so I used up my "quota" for the year of paying real money to watch a movie. I haven't purchased a movie ticket in so long I forgot what it was like, didn't buy any of the overpriced popcorn or snacks either. So I watched my one movie in theaters this year.

Everything else I can wait a month to watch on the illegal streaming websites in HD. At this point things come out in like a month or less now. Saves me both time and money. Especially since movies like this may not even be good.

Never change Cubed. Never change.
