They should have stopped at Alien. Everything else after it is shit.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I mean this is what I hate is that they started to put out trailers of scenes that are not in the movie. Now I didn't watch the movie but from reviews these characters and story line don't seem to be in the movie.

I really don't get it because when "Prometheus" was announced the story-line was described like in the clip above - meaning that they find way to these founders planet, which is supposed to be the "paradise", the city of gods, and then they start war with them, but needles to say "Prometheus" was not that. Then when "Covenant" was announced that same premise was said to be in the movie and they even made some scenes this time, which will no doubt not be in the movie. Instead we'll get the same group of people going somewhere, picking up alien seed in them, then wonder "what's happening"; then run trough the ship while it takes them down one by one.

Why are they doing this?
It's all about the buzz.

Aliens is definitely better than the original.

Totally different kinds of movies in my mind.  Alien is a slow burn horror-thriller.  It was also the first time most people had seen Giger's work.

ALIENS is your classic action movie full of great characters and one liners.  In my mind they are both are extremely entertaining for completely different reasons.

I was going to write exactly that. They are both my favorite movies *in their respective genres*, however, with Alien taking the overall #1 spot in the general category of SF themed movie.

Come on, gotta love Bill Paxton Big Grin RIP

You really have to take it in.

I give up. Milennials have killed movies.

Any movie where Bill Paxton dies is great.

When the alien burst out of Hurt's chest I told my wife, "everyone gets hunted down and dies, except one person." Tada. (This was in the theater.)
