I fail to see how this is new or interesting in any way. Looks like every other Alien movie. Really, Aliens was the best, but that’s because James Cameron is a prodigy. The sound alone just makes the whole thing.
I think the idea is that this is the opposite of new, that trailer screams “screw all this weird new stuff, we’re going back to the roots”. As for whether that’s interesting… eh, maybe? I’m not convinced a horror film can work when you already know what the monster looks like and how it works. Aliens is a fantastic sequel precisely because its makers recognized that the alien wouldn’t be scary a second time, so they changed genres and made it an action flick instead. The next logical step would clearly be a slapstick comedy. This doesn’t look like that, but who knows, maybe the trailer is deceptive. ;-)
It hasn’t even been released yet
I am so happy to have an Alien movie not helmed by Ridley Scott
To be fair, Scott helmed an excellent Alien movie.
For sure! But only one, and the other ones are very bad
Yeah, almost half a century ago, and he hasn’t repeated the feat since. I’m starting to think it might’ve been a fluke.
Blade Runner was something of a feat.
Maybe his level of inspiration has faded since then, but I don’t think it was a fluke.
That trailer shows lots of overlap with the original. I wonder if their goal is to remake it for modern audiences.
Interesting but the original really holds up well.
The trailer shows…too much?
I’d love to see a different, well done movie featuring and alien instead of a rehash with better sfx.
Like, could you imagine a war so bad that a species created these to fight thier enemies, and humans kind of happen to stumble into the middle of it?
Prey did a great job with the Predator series, but there is so much trash between the original and that, much like the Alien series.

It makes me wonder if Ridley Scott wouldn’t allow them to mess with his story, so they couldn’t “redo” anything from Prometheus or Covenant.
Right? I mean I thought the zeno was a biological weapon? Why not make that happen?
The trailer always shows too much.
Sole reason I will skip trailer videos.
And for trailer compilations I will skip through the announced titles to see what sounds interesting.
I’m cautiously optimistic
