I remember seeing the first one in the theater, been a fan ever since. The AvP stuff was good and I liked the new stuff also.

Alien 3 director cut is so much better. Gives better depth to the characters. I was ok with Prometheus until Covenant. These prequels have effectively screwed everything up. The scene where David drops the weapon on the engineers...WTF?! And then the xenomorph comes out not as the slithery thing but a mini full grown version?! Yeah Ridley Scott can suck a dick with the prequels.
Answer this. If the ship david and shaw took, docked it, then dropped the black goo....how or why did the crew of Covenant find it crashed?

I liked the theory of Prometheus, just that it got rewritten a few times and the actions of the crew were borderline retarded.
Wish Covenant was a better sequel into the Engineers and not what we got..............

Totally concur. I thought Prometheus was potentially brilliant, except for the INCREDIBLY stupid parts that basically ruined it.

Oh this is a simple answer... what you need to do is forget all the movies and how they were structured, AVP is out the window and such...

First start watching Prometheus. This begins with everything, a crazy cyborg gone rogue, as the film ends David and Shaw head to the "Space Jockie's" Planet, in the meantime, I believe in hyperspace David killed Shaw and begun testing which when arriving too the moon/planet he wanted to test to his creation in Covenant. As you saw in Covenant the species progressed more organically into what you see in Alein and when David coughed up the two specimens that is what leads us in to Alien.

I really wish they would have rebooted the series with today's tech and gotten a new Ripley

Remember David was trained to be supreme to all creations which is why he dumped the black goo.

With today's cinema they really need to say, THIS IS A REBOOT at the beginning of a film. I'm sick of movies like star wars and such that start in the middle, jump to the past and then jump all the way to the future. Just tell the movie goer, were starting the **** over and enjoy the new story!

Me personally? I really wish the movies were released in a chronological sequence. I have never liked the storyline jumping around between past, present and future. JMO.

I enjoyed all of the Alien movies, but some more than others. My favorite was the first one, Alien, in 1979.

If some can write a script, lay me down on a psychologist's chair and let me spit out a reboot while someone listens. I would love to reboot this franchise but now that disney owns this makes me want to think this is over because of kids and crap. Fox, you should have held out
