I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

    It didn’t. It cost them $30-40M to make, and only grossed $41.5M at the box office. Studios don’t make sequels for break-even films.

    It got good reviews, fans liked it - even John Wagner, the guy who created the character, liked it. I don’t know why it did so poorly at the theaters.

    They filmed it in 3D, a BluRay of which I’m a proud owner, and it’s fantastic in 3D. It also explains some of the framing of many of the shots, even though (I think) they also work fine in 2D.
