I’ll be honest, I have not seen the other Alien movies, so I did not experience some of those negatives you pointed out. However I think this movie was very good as a stand alone movie. I don’t think I have any negative things to say about it. I agree with your positive about the intelligence level of the Aliens. For me I think I may have benefited from not having seen the other movies. I had no idea how intelligent they were until Andy pointed out that it was waiting for them to open the door. That made them much more terrifying for me. Another positive I had was the intelligence of all the other characters as well. Not only did they not make stupid decisions, but they also made some pretty clever decisions, including the moment Rain turned on the zero gravity switch so she could shoot the aliens while preventing the xenomorph blood from eating away at the spaceship. That whole scene was pretty cool. I enjoyed this movie a lot. It has cracked my top 10 of the year at #9! There are still several movies I have left to see in August, and I’m super excited! Do you have plans to watch “It Ends With Us?”
You make a great point! The humans not making stupid decisions was refreshing for a horror flick! Movie is definitely in my top ten for now too! I really want to see It Ends With Us but not sure if I’ll have the time to see it in theaters this month. My work travel schedule is really ramping up this month. If I miss it I’ll definitely check it out on streaming. Horizon hits Max this month and I’m really looking forward to checking that one out!
2013 Evil dead was super good watched it last year for the first time. Anyway was so surprised how good it was considering the last 2 films weren't as good.. I thought the characters made smart choices pretty much through out so will disagree with you on that last 15 min was crazy that alien human hybrid thing was a crazy monster. And a scene to me that was probably the dumbest was the elevator scene when Rain was falling down the shaft I'm like oh no is this actually the end of her no way she's getting out of this one then a xenomorph catches her with its tail. That just didn't make sense to me. What was the line you are talking about? And still loving the longer content keep it up.
Glad the last 15 min worked for you! I think it has potential of growing on me especially since I love Prometheus so much more each time I watch it. And the line of dialogue was when Andy tells the xenomorph to “Get away from her you bitch” Again, it’s an iconic line and it worked in the moment but since this movie takes place before Ripley has a chance to say it in Aliens it kinda takes away from her saying that line in Aliens (imo)
It's definitely moved the franchise back to its horror roots. You are right, those lines were too hammy and clutter an otherwise solid movie. I never got a chance at those facehugger buckets, they get swooped up and placed on ebay by the time I get my wallet out.

@@michael_weer oh right right I laughed at the line and most of the theater did too lol
Mine too! It worked in the moment and didn’t bother me till the next day.
@@michael_weer nah that's fair for sure I can see how it would bother you

I’m sorry you missed out on the bucket!
Can’t stand the scalpers buying up the collectibles before the film comes out. 🤡
