There's nothing 'woke' about the Alien franchise. Ripley is a badass that happens to be female. But her being female barely matters to the plot. Alien is how you do female empowerment in film. The new breed of bullshit 3rd wave feminists have no concept of that fact. |

Bet modern day dipshits would still call it woke.
80% of the screen time goes to the female lead and there’s a black dude. WOKE! On a serious note, that’s a pretty good trailer. Didn’t even show the alien. Funny to see how much they’ve changed over the last 40-50 years. |

Alien 1.5 - Everybody Dies
Looks like a lot of references to what we've already seen before. Not that it's a bad thing, just that I didn't see a lot new here. Hopefully, they can give the characters some backstory so we actually care when they die. Or unlike the 3rd installment, at least make their deaths mean something. Looks fine; has that gritty, dirty work place feel instead of the medically sterile environment of other movies. |

This one looks to be trying to recreate the tension and atmosphere of the first one, it comes off looking like Resurrection did to me, so we'll see how it is, but imo they need to make the next one like Aliens. Bring back the marines, bring back the pulse rifles, the smart guns, actually have them stand a chance against the Aliens due to their weaponry and experience. Have them discuss battle strategies in real time, have back stories and witty banter between themselves. I haven't seen an Alien movie in a long time where I actually thought the humans looked like they stood a chance and were able to go head to head with the swarm of Aliens. You see it in all the video games tied to the franchise, but for the movies they haven't recreated it. The best thing about Predator and Aliens is that even though the soldiers were dying, at least they stood a chance, were menacing and had a believable edge to them, bring that back. |
