It’s difficult to go into it without somewhat spoiling other than it’s pacing felt like it was the first of a new trilogy (I don’t believe the third film has been greenlit yet but the second one is released in Jan 26. There’s a prevailing obvious theme which is quite basic, but even at a more superficial level, the infected were actually quite a disappointment.
I guess, given the return of the Director and screen writer returning to a franchise they started (similar to when Scott did Prometheus) and the trailer, I had raised expectations, but ultimately, I just felt underwhelmed by it.
There is a film in 'prometheus', but we're going to have to wait for the directors cut like we did with BR.
Studio recut alien3 as well.
So far as the 28's go, the first one developed character, we were all gutted when Gleeson turned, the supermarket, the rats, the squaddies, the pile of corpses. It was violent and nasty but there were moments of levity and humour. Hated the second one. What a waste of time. 28 years later seems a bit of a wasted effort, where's the relevance? half the audience has no connection anyhow. If it had been ready straight after covid and took the pish there, then it'd have gone down a storm.
over engineered, committee thought, pandering.
I want trailblazers.
