monkeydelarge: The only bad Alien movie that exists is Prometheus. And there are plenty of worse movies. He could do a lot more damage. Alien 3 wasn't a bad movie. It just made people butt hurt because Alien 3 = death of Hicks, Newt and Ripley.
I feel anyone has a right to hate the movie for killing Hicks and especially Newt, it was a dick move that basically made the majority of Aliens meaningless, not to mention cruelly screwing over Ripley, who has suffered enough. It wasn't a realistic twist, it felt like what it was, a cheap plot device in a terribly written, logically devoid movie heralded by an inexplicable teaser that promised something much more than what we got.

Also, you don't think Resurrection is an irredeemable pile of trash?

Great news! New hope for Alien series after terrible Resurrection. Jean-Pierre Jeunet alias Destroyer from Montmartre knockout this best scifi series.

I like Resurrection even though the movie is inferior to Alien, Aliens and Alien 3. There are some really cool scenes in the movie and they used good actors for the movie too. And the story is nowhere near as bad as the one for Prometheus.

Even though I think the story in Resurrection is one of the most schlocky, plot-hole ridden stories to ever come from a respectable writer... I do still hate Prometheus more.

Insultingly stupid and pretentious plot and dialogue aside, nothing beats a supposedly intelligent character having no concept of lateral movement when being chased by a crashing donut ship.

Prometheus is almost a comedy movie. A ship full of Earth's most retarded scientists on a mission that will have them encounter one the universe's most dangerous lifeforms. The ship is supposed to be full of Earth's brightest and most professional scientists...

I would need to watch Prometheus again to be able to say whether I hate Prometheus more or not but I agree with your comments on Resurrection.

I don't understand how nobody responsible for making Prometheus saw the "crashing donut ship" scene and thought "hang on a second..."

I probably would classify it as great unintentional comedy if it didn't give me such a headache. Seriously, Bio-Dome is a more logically solid movie.

I. Love. Rocks!

*snake like creature comes out of black liquid on a alien planet* "Come here." says the scientist. *scientist tries to touch it*

But they shouldn't of even been exploring outside the ship to begin without first being sure that the area is safe...

Hah, yeah, reacting like it's a freaking puppy or something.

Also, dude gets lost while having a map on his arm the whole time.

This scene is so ridiculous because even a monkey or a chimp would have more sense than to try to touch that thing. If a monkey saw such a thing, it would run away and observe it from a safe position.

"We am smart science mans on a planet we've only just set foot on. So the atmosphere contains oxygen? Ok! Let's all take our helmets off right away we are so super smart that we know there couldn't possibly be any airborne pathogens or other biologically incompatible substances in the air."

And they could of just used drones to explore the planet. Because if the scientists die(even from falling off a cliff or drowning), the whole mission is an epic fail. They are not expendable.

There seems to be a contingent of Sci-Fi creators that seem to have alarming difficulty with the concept of the third dimension.
