I am so looking forward to this....
Although this film focuses on the Space Jockey, rather than the "Xenomorphs" we all know and love, I can only hope it redeems the series after that awful "Alien Resurrection". I am still incredibly bitter about that "film"...... From various things I have read leading up to the trailer's release, the underlying storyline is not that far removed from that of 2001 and plays with the whole Von Daniken/Stitchin "Alien gods" concept. Looks like fun! What with Iron Sky on the horizon too, it seems to be a good time to be a movie fan.

That is reassuring to know.
Personally, I didn't mind AvP that much.... but, by the same token, I "didn't mind" Dude, Where's my Car? Compared to the first 2 films, AvP was embarrassing at best. I do take the unpopular view that, awfully dated CGI aside, the third one was alright..... mainly because it boasted the remarkable talents of the late Brian Glover.... I am easily pleased like that sometimes.

To me the things are: Alien -> "What's that thing? How can I fight it?" Aliens -> "I almost understand what I'm fighting but can I really fight it?" Alien³ -> "Ok I know my enemy but I got nothing to fight it" These a totally different movies: the scary one, the action movie and the frantic survival (I loved the camera acting as the creature's sight chasing the convicts). "Resurrection"... brrr...
