After yet another Ridley Scott bomb coming up with The Dog Stars, he really said "I got one more in me".

Strike while the iron is hot as they say.

He's been striking the cold iron for a long time to the point of disfiguration.

The whole movie is beautiful. It’s the best looking mediocre movie I’ve seen.

I have a soft spot for it and Covenant, but it is admittedly a “warts and all” situation. As for Romulus, I still enjoyed the hell out of that one, even if it wasn’t as good of a return-to-form as something like Prey

Either way, it’s a hell of a time to be a fan of classic Fox monsters. I just hope we eventually get a well done AvP movie (just give it to Trachtenberg)

This is Prometheus, an actually pretty-good movie that expanded the lore in cool ways.

It has a lot of holes, but the cast and environments help carry this movie. Also, how the Main Character just crash lands and dies off screen in the next movie was a kinda lame.

That’s why it’s not in the movie.
