You hear me? THERE WERE NO SEQUELS!! (That’s a double-bang there. It means I’m louder than usual.)

Mr. Scott (Ripley — I mean Ridley) did a wonderful job with Alien, but the cat’s out of the bag. Everyone knows what the thing looks like and does now. It’s harder to jump at shadows if someone’s already shone a light on what’s there. I don’t know how he would have done things with this project, but the suspense-horror opportunity that they had with Alien is gone. IMHO, at least.

Another thing is the problem with prequels (if this is not a reboot… or parallel dimension). You already know what happens next and how the movie must end. Your options are limited. In the first Alien, any one of them had the chance of surviving… well… except the guy who was face-$^#i@*. Once they introduce how they came into contact with the things before the events of Alien, you know what must happen. Again, IMHO, at least.

I liked this one, but would have also liked the “other” ending.
