Martian was amazing. It's a scientific fact, no point in arguing about it. The only recent Ridley Scott film that I'd recommend.
Speaking of, I'm shocked it's been 40 posts and no one mentioned Prometheus

That wasn't really a bad movie, just a decent one.

Or I'm just bitter and angry as I was expecting something as good as Aliens. Take your pick. (I think both are correct) |

I was so disappointed by P... I don't know if I'll be able to survive Covenant Also, I missed it at the movies and am waiting for a good pirate.. I mean, a bluray release. Will probably watch it then Edit: and I have to address this. Scientists that act like they're ****in stoned all the time. A geologist with a huge set of sci fi tools used for mapping is the first one to get lost. A biologist who doesn't follow basic logic (let alone protocol). Oh, I also loved how our heroine managed to run around 40 seconds after a laser cut all her abdominal muscles in half, removing the alien baby from her stomach.. sure. Generally I felt the movie originally was 2 hours longer and had to be cut down to be released, and the story and the plot suffered. There was no logic, no consistency, only plot devices. That's ok when we're talking about a college comedy or whatnot, but this was supposed to be "hardcore SF" right ? Well, baloney. Lazy writing, lazy editing, lazy lazy lazy. |

You can nitpick both of them easily, but I loved both Prometheus and Covenant. I think they're interesting thematically, plus I don't find the characters as unbelievable as many others seem to. So what if a scientist gets excited over a weird alien creature and touches it. He's a human being, not a robot.
