"Covenant hits all the right notes for me and I quite enjoy it but it appears people are rather divided"
I really liked Covenant. I would probably give it an 8 out 10. My rankings would probably go Aliens, Alien, Covenant, Prometheus, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection. Also, I think divided is an understatement, lol.
Like I said, I would love it if we got the multiple movies Scott has been talking about. Alien is my favorite science fiction franchise. It's better to me than Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. I would love Alien to be able to explode to those levels of success and fan following. I would love the two more Alien movies to get us to the original Alien. I would love to get the two Prometheus sequels. Give me Alien 5, 6, and 7 as well
I'll take as many Alien movies as I can get. Even a bad Alien movie is alright in my book, because at least it's an Alien movie.
I just don't see the financials being there for Fox to give us all that. That's why I'm just hoping we get a sequel to Covenant to get us to the original Alien.
