The Res game was miles better than the movie in about every way. It was tense, it was scary, and it had a more interesting story.
Yeah, and while video games are a different kind of media,
Resurrection would have been better as a horror film.
I saw
Prometheus the other day and thought
"ok maybe with a better script and a better edition would have been a better science fiction movie". But it will still be that way. A good science fiction movie, but not a good
Alien movie. Yes, the movie series has different visions contributed by different directors, and that includes
Prometheus &
Covenant since 21st century Scott is another director (and another person) than Scott from 40 years ago. The problem is that, sometimes it's better to go back to basics. Or putting it another way, if you get very experimental the original essence is lost. Prometheus is wonderfull and biblical in scale. But it was never scary, just as Resurrection was always like a comedy and not like the first three movies, which despite being different, were still serious horror movies.
I have mixed feelings because I like the prequels. But sometimes it seems more like an idea that sounded good on paper but was either not well executed, or it was not for an Alien movie.
Raised by Wolves, while not entirely Scott's invention, appears to be everything the director wanted for the
Alien prequels. This fabric of Religion vs science, mechanical abominations, God is the machine and all that shit.
