I am a Hardcore Ridley Scott Fan. Alien. Prometheus. Covenant. Those are the story lines to follow. The rest is filler/action/horror

Not to say aliens Or Romulus weren't good. They're fun and pretty decent in their own right but I look at the Ridley Scott line as more of a philosophical piece that has horror scifi elements. Where as Aliens is a good Action Film. And Romulus is a good horror scifi film. Well. Romulus is a... Fun scifi horror film. Lots of stupid stuff in that script though.
RS is the man. In no particular order, my list:
American Gangster, Gladiator, Blackhawk Down, Matchstick Men, Blade Runner and Body of Lies
All epically good.
Not many people I talked to actually like Body of Lies, but I do a lot (great acting) - nice to see it mentioned here ✌🏻
I hear you, and I appreciate the attempt of philosophy too, but I don‘t think it was delivered properly.
Every time I watch Prometheus/Covenant I feel like I should know something that in fact wasn‘t said.
It might be part of the mystery, and I do like the movies.
But I must say, as a worshipper of the first two films, I was happy when Romulus brought back the good old bloodbath..
Another view - Prometheus/Covenant tried to explain things, but to me, a huge part of the Alien horror magic is the unknown - it‘s a brutal agressive fucking lifeform from deep space, period.
One of my personal cons of the Earth was that it‘s even possible to somehow communicate with it - NO! 😁
But of course I‘m not saying this is the right view, it‘s a good thing that this series offers different takes for different kinds of audience.
