It was surprisingly amazing (quite close behind Predator itself), but it's a Predator movie, not an Alien movie, and it's not by Ridley Scott.Prequels aren't inherently bad. Ridley Scott just doesn't "get" why Alien was a good movie, nor what was good about it, and the dude has been butthurt about not getting 100% credit for Alien since the 1980s. I remember as a young teenager I was obsessed with Alien and Aliens, and read everything I could about them, including a lot of interviews with Scott and others, and even back then, I noticed that Scott was very keen to take 100% credit for anything good about Alien, and blame anything not good on others, which seemed... uncool. He did express some ideas about what was going on that were subtext/unstated.And then Prometheus solidly proved that his ideas were dumb and bad, because he really did use the same ideas to make it. Then again with Covenant. Prometheus' terrible script isn't 100% him, but he demanded what elements were in it and kept firing people and replacing them over and over until it was appropriately horrible, at which point he said "SOUNDS GREAT" and made one of best-looking terrible movies ever made. Lunatic. Then he did it again, with a slightly better script but even worse ideas and less beautifully shot.No questions are needed for this obviously correct opinion.</blockquote>
