2018 is coming to an end within the next 2 weeks and it’s been a busy Predator focused year. But 20th Century Fox has taken to Instagram to remind us that 2019 isn’t going to be a quiet year for Alien, promising that the “Alien Universe expands” in 2019.
One of the post’s hashtags is Amanda Ripley, perhaps hinting that Amanda is the one writing the post? We already know that Amanda is returning in Aliens: Resistance, a sequel to both Alien: Isolation and Aliens: Defiance. We’ll also be seeing her again in Keith R.A. DeCandido’s Alien: Isolation novel – which has unfortunately been pushed back to July 30th.
Or perhaps it is related to something else entirely. Only time will tell! Make sure you’re following the Alien Anthology account on Instagram to check out the next 5 dossiers.
Make sure you keep checking in with Alien vs. Predator Galaxy in 2019 for the latest on Alien and Predator! You can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube to get the latest on your social media walls. You can also join in with fellow Alien and Predator fans on our forums!
Update #1: 20/12/2018 – And the second dossier is already up!
Update 3# – And a third one!
Update #4 21/12/2018: The fourth dossier has been posted!
Update #5 – And the last two are now up!

Alien 3 is Alien 3, and always will be.

My non-hardcore Alien fan friends all keep linking me to the little posts they keep making knowing I'm the biggest fan in our friend group and saying, "Is this a new game they're teasing?"
My response:

I haven't watched any since.
Not on my subscriptions.
No Sir.
I agree. Cinemasins is a sin against all things holy.

CinemaSins is cancer.
I'd like to see a genuine critique
by someone good at film criticism at some point.
What Scott should've done was make the movie he was really wanting to make, which was a new blade runner. If he wanted to make small links to alien that would've just enhanced the film for me. Blade Runner is where his heart was, and still is. While somebody else could've done a standalone alien movie with new characters, or perhaps Cameron could've been enticed to come back and do Gibson's Alien 3.
Regardless, we are where we are. And oh, what could've been. What could...have...been.
At least we got BR2049 from Villeneuve. I hope to see the man take on Alien someday.
It still makes it stupid for the guy, managing
"My pups" the mapping equipment to get lost.
And stupid for Millburn to interact with
a potentially dangerous unknown organism.
Especially with the context that he's in a tomb,
on another planet, surrounded by decayed corpses.
Fifield and Millburn didn't know there were acid snakes alive in the pyramid.
Why would the Engineers leave directions (supposedly)
to a system that they used as a weapons testing facility?
The melodrama between Peter Weyland, and his awful monster mash face
and Meredith Vickers is horribly written.
The Pathogen's space magic goo that can do whatever the plot requires.
Most of the dialogue is also... bad.
Like, Star Wars prequels- "people don't talk like that" bad.
Brett let the cat go, and at that point they were chasing something smaller than a Cat-
they had no way of knowing it could've grown to such ridiculous,
taller than a man proportions- in that time.
They don't have to, but many of them did. Scary Movie did a great job parodying them and all their tropes.
I think Scott's most fundamental error was in not deciding on the kind of film he was making: Ontological study on the nature of creation (ala 2001); or horror thriller (like Alien).
Halfway in-between we got some once-over-lightly schoolboy philosophy, mixed with 80s-style horror-slasher tropes. Together, it has the faint whiff of pretentiousness. He should have committed one way or the other, either way would have worked.
TC
What about when Kane let's the cat go and then goes off looking for it on his own?
Or how about those scenes in Aliens and Terminator where... well actually those films are perfect.
I don't remember the other films enough to pick out the stupid things the characters did but I'm sure they're there.
The above was a response to the Old One..
Mission accomplished.
Vickers intentionally hired morons in an attempt to sabotage her father's mission to live forever.
The old argument that horror genre characters
have to do stupid stuff for it to qualify as a horror film or work.
It's B.S, I don't believe it.
Alien, Aliens, Alien³,
The Terminator, Predator and The Thing
off the top of my head don't have this trope.
I think the issue you're having there is that you have elevated the film to intellectual levels while letting go of the fact that is is still fundamentally rooted in the horror-flick genre. Based on that, it adheres to certain genre tropes. It is the same old thing about a group of teenagers in the woods, and one or two decide to go off on their own. Stupid? Yes. But a timeless staple of the genre. Keeping it in mind that the film's creators chose to make it stick to that category of film, where people literally have to do some obviously stupid things, makes it an overall better viewing experience. Would I have wanted the characters to do all the right stuff all the time? Maybe, I'm on the fence about that. Could it have been done better? Sure. Then it could have been 100%. But I'm ok with 85%. Now Covenant,..... that's a 65%. It's like they didn't try to open up the big mysteries. They shut them down as soon as they were opened in Prometheus.
At first I really didn't like Prometheus either but as time went on, I grew to enjoy it more despite terrible choices made by dumb characters. I actually liked and cared what happened to Shaw and Janek. David to me was interesting as well. To be honest, I've felt the same way about A3. I used to hate it but now, I really enjoy it and have grown to rewatch it as much as I do the first two.
A:R.... not so much lol
Until I argued with a friend and she went over how unbelievably stupid,
the plot and nearly every character interaction is.
The characters were memorable enough. They just did dumb stuff. And that comes down to the writing. It's just my opinion that resultingly, the film loses 15%. Other than that, it was very rewatchable, majestic, mysterious, and grand. At first I wan't sure what to think about it, but it filled me with a sense of wonder that was so powerful that it overcame its inequities for me. It is my third favorite film in the series, right after Alien. A great great film. But I don't care to have popular opinions. I like what I like.
Great demo material for a home theater though.
To me it was about 45%, the visuals are gorgeous-
some ideas, generally are intriguing
but the execution's terrible; no substance.
It was a MASSIVE missed opportunity.
I hope not.
Now a mobile game, or an MMO perhaps.
Nothing extravagant, but something to keep the franchise's blood flowing.
I'm happy when I'm happy, and I'm sad when I'm sad.
Right? Why get excited when there is new material being released featuring my favorite franchise? the franchise I enjoy so much i became a member of a fansite just to talk about it.
I know, such a strange reaction for a fan to have.
Why can't we just be miserable and young?
The unfairness of it all.
KIDS THESE DAYS!
Indeed. I'm not the least bit wound up over this.
Watch=Movie
Read=Comic
Me=Too wishful....
Haha perfect. No offense Hicks!
Well sure, there's nothing wrong with a little fun in getting excited over potential new material. I mean, this fandom is no stranger to disappointment so we'll try not to get too excited
Thank you.
I'm trying to find the "Alright, we waste him" gif, but Google seems to be confused as to what I mean.
