Looks like this year could offer a bumper crop of seemingly first-rate Sci-fi flicks.
see:
"Blade Runner 2049"
"Alien Covenant"
"Valerian"
To infinity, and beyond!

Huge fan of the Alien franchise
Alien - great
Aliens - great
Alien 3 - very good
Alien Resurrection - ok
Alien has appeared in other movies but those were cheesy
When I heard about another Alien movie
My reaction was yawn
until
I saw its directed by Ridley Scott the original director that I am a huge fan of
Now looking forward to this.
Its just a forum. Nothing here to get obsessed about.

I saw a trailer in the theater, and it looks beautiful on the big screen, but what I could cull from the story, it appears to be Standard Formula "A":
1) A group with good intentions
2) Bad things happen
3) Very bad things happen
4) A surprise reveal
5) Narrow escape at the last second
6) Wait for it... a set up for a sequel
My sense from those two minutes is that it doesn't seem as engaging as "Prometheus", I plan to wait for the Blu-Ray unless I hear something awesome from a trusted source.
Is "Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2" considered "Sci-Fi"?
Interesting that there is only one film mentioned so far that is an original vs. a sequel.

I liked Cloverfield Lane. Does that count?

How about Life, as well. We're looking forward to that one.

Not sure how original "Valarian" really is. From the trailer it definitely gave off a Star Wars vibe. I'm pretty sure I saw Jabba's cousin in there somewhere. The last really original Sci Fi I saw was "Arrival".
My goal of being well informed conflicts with my goal of remaining sane.
