    It was leaked
    How? Boring scares and story. it wasn't even an alien movie. Animations were awful.
    Plot twist where it was david the whole time was obvious and lame. Chick should have died 5 times while tethered to the ship. Alien should have killed her 5 times. No one needs to know how the aliens were created. Scariest part was in the trailer. Story was so forced
    Only good thing about this movie was the acting and the shower scene

    Yup it's enjoyable just no where near as good as the first two, the Alien was pretty much wasted in the awful climax

    idk, it was an Alien movie, so it gave me what I expected to see :jordan:
    Yea that David twist was predictable af...and there were a lot of slow parts...ok maybe it kinda s----d but it still kept me mildly entertained.

    Would have been 100000x better if Michael Fassbender #1 taught Michael Fassbender #2 how to play Mask Off with that flute :whew:

    I know. Alien CGI was terrible.
    The way the captain just trusted David was idiotic.
    . I guess I was somewhat entertained, but that's only because I love alien
    Story was so forced.
    The way the captain just trusted David was idiotic. How they went to some random planet was forced. Guy sniffing the alien spore was forced. Davids whole character is so stupid
    I could see that becoming a meme soon lmao

    TBH the movie is getting an awful lot of hate, both here and online, which maybe deserved but the first half of AC is Fantastic the CGI is gorgeous bar the aliens although I thought the white ones were fine, and that scene were they first emerge is so tense I really enjoyed, as far as the engineers go and everything there definitely saving them more for the sequels, we still gotta find out how the ship got to the planet in Alien, Elizabeth was totally wasted tho. And the main chick don't even remember her name was pretty much a Ripley rip off.

    I agree. I did enjoy the movie up until the point where
    T brought the weird ship down
    . They could have made the white alien part much more suspenseful. It felt so rushed.
    The ship that was on the planet in alien was the ship that the Prometheus wrecked in "Prometheus." If I remember correctly, they sent out a warning message before they left.

    Dr. Shaw and David took a different ship

    True after the landing ship explodes, they could have done a Jurassic Park tall grass like scene, instead of them just popping up in the city, but up until then was great

    The planet in Alien was LV426 I think, and the one in Prometheus was LV223,
    David had only created the black xeno's now and in Alien there was a ship filled with eggs, and there was a dead engineer piloting the crashed ship in Alien so that must have happened after the events of AC, the ship in Prometheus was filled with the black goo s---, The scene I saw at the Alien day, was just David and Elizabeth taking another ship filled with the black goo kegs, that he used to wipe out the AC planet

    I know, that's what I thought it would be. They killed the potential for that
    I don't know all of the specific planet names, but that's true, didn't think about that. that will probably be revealed in the next 5 movies lol.

    I seriously hope the next one is the last of the prequels and they go back to making good alien movies

    He might have screwed himself, since it's reviewing so bad, for better or worse tho

    I know that the next one is sequel to covenant and is coming out in 2018. Idk about the rest though. Hopefully they end it and take a hint that no one likes the story. We want people on a ship with an alien that they have no idea what it is. Imagine alien 1 with some great visuals. That's what I want lol

    I think the movie was very bad... not unwatchable but it just s----d

    Franchise slander tbh. All of this corny a--- s---. They took every little cliche of the old movies and squeezed them out poorly
