Alien Resurrection might be the most fun I had watching an Alien movie, but like, eating popcorn and having a good time laughing at all the ridiculous directions the movie takes (like Ripley being revived after 200 years and playing basketball on some space station, or the alien becoming more humanlike and having like a relationship with her? Wtf??) is not exactly the kind of experience I'm looking for with an Alien film. It was so bad it's good. Alien and Aliens were so good it's good.
Alien 3 (Assembly Cut, never watched the theatrical) is a pretty decent movie on its own imo, but yeah the way it treats its predecessor stings. Honestly I like to think of Alien 3 and Resurrection as non-canon tbh.
Prometheus is a good movie but I'm not sure I like it as part of the Alien franchise, and Covenant was just... well, I actually liked it the first time, but when I rewatched it my opinion of it plummeted. That movie is so stupid honestly.
Anyway yeah, looking forward to Romulus, will probably check it out this next week.
