The toothy villain is humanised and made sympathetic in this disappointing horror sci-fi – at which point it ceases to be the Predator

    The last Alien movie was good in the same way that Prey was good, IMO. Both of those are in my “rainy day movie” pile.

    It’s funny that they can get things right, and then not follow up on it

        Not who you asked but I liked the last alien and the first half of earth.

        I’m just mad that they had every plot line ready to be resolved but just didn’t resolve anything.

        I was really expecting an anthology so I was willing to sit through the Marcy plot while the show found it’s footing. Now that I know the Marcy plot is all there is I’m not interested.

        It really sucks because the cyborgs, androids, xenomorphs and evil corporations are way more interesting and deserve better than another generic Mary sue story.

        Nope, and I don’t particularly feel the urge. I work with a hardcore fan of the franchise (think: makes replica props and stuff), and he was non-plussed.
