I must be the only one here who likes the 4th movie (Resurrection). its unfairly maligned imo. its got a lot of clever ideas going on, although the tone is less serious I think its a smart and well-made film.
Alien 1 is great ofc. love it every time. production design, camera, possibly the most gripping in-camera FX shot ever, perfect understated performances (Yaphet Kotto and Harry Dean Stanton should have done more buddy movies), soundtrack, sound design (the ominous, dead "boop" whenever they open a door)...I can go on and on, but I'm always locked to the screen.
not a huge fan of 2 or 3 or either of the newer ones...
I'm rewatching 4 atm. Enjoying it more than covenant but not sure i think it's actually better.
It's like B movie enough that I can just enjoy it? Though clone Ripley is super boring compared to real Ripley.
3 is too long... but i like parts of it. Everytime i watch it im convinced the warden voiced someone in beneath a steel sky...
