Why do some people prefer Alien over Aliens?

I'm curious to learn why someone prefers Alien Resurrection or Prometheus over Alien / Aliens.

Might've been their entry point.

Such people exist ? 

I haven't participated in Scified for years, but there someone said he liked Prometheus and Resurrection better. Maybe SM is right about first movie experience in the IP.

Prometheus perhaps I can orchestrate some logic behind taking that position possibly, but Resurrection I got nothing.

Why do some people prefer it?

Cause it's better.

I have made this claim repeatedly on dud accounts on several websites. Not saying I trolled you.

But I might have trolled you.

Unless your trolling activities include shapeshifting yourself on a 19 years old Swedish girl nicknamed Feebs, I don't think so 

Now I remember actually. The person was a moderator just like me at the time (2012).

Personally, my reason for liking Alien more than Aliens is entirely based on aesthetics and personal taste. I think they're equal in quality, but Alien hits a certain spot for me, the cinematography, the set design, the slowly increasing tension. To this day, it's still one of the scariest films I've ever seen due to the steady build and the fact the intensity never really drops. The chase scene near the end is my favorite example,

even if Ripley's not actually being chased

, the way it's shot, the camerawork, the sound design, everything is tense and terrifying all the way to the end. I'm also more of a horror kind of guy in general, though I LOVE Aliens a LOT, I'm less of an action-horror guy and prefer pure, unfiltered terror to thrills. Both are still 10/10's from me, though.

Nah, I only post art on accounts with the official [cb] branding, of which there are very few. But my stuff does show up in certain google image searches, and I've seen others repost it very, very occasionally.

I still prefer the world building in Aliens but Alien is a science fiction masterpiece. I love this movie even more now.

Absolutely, Aliens was a great action film but Alien was scary and intriguing.  It's one that you can't walk away from until it's over.

Yeah two different movies, both great at what they do. Can't we just love them both equally for different reasons ? 

[AliceApocalypse]

Indeed, they are both outstanding.

Hear! Hear!

You can't do that, just go on the internet and be reasonable. Where are the insults, slurs and self righteousness?

There's plenty of that indeed ! No need for me to add more.
