This will do well in theaters among viewers who haven't watched Alien movies. Looks beautiful.

This is one of the best trailers I’ve ever seen. Can’t stop replaying it. Never thought I’d be interested in another Alien film, but I’m more than all in for this one. I’ve always had this uncanny ability where I can know how the movie is going to sit with me just by watching the trailers and this is going to be a masterpiece. Mark my words. I have never been wrong on that feeling.

Another perfectly edited teaser. My favorite sci-fi horror creature getting the refresh it needs. U rock Sir, appreciate the views 🙏🏽🤘🏼

Totally. I think Álvarez has serious chops but I'd prefer to see him develop his own material.

A young cast could be a risk , a trailer is designed to entice the viewer, this does look like a step in the right direction , but on current form , don’t hold your breath..

Completely agree about the importance of a good script.

First thing that threw me out was that is NOT the crew of a spacefaring vessel haha. It's like a freshman ball. Chuck a group of young people in a horror narrative and see which one survives kind of deal. Production LOOKS good though, it may not be just a group of paper thin characters running down corridors. I certainly hope so.

I feel like the young cast is to entice Gen Z to come see this movie theaters.

Unfortunately, Ridley fumbled the ball with some of the talent he assembled.

What would really be subversive is an Alien movie with no xenomorphs. Just space truckers towing raw materials from system to system. It'd be like John Cage's 4'33". You keep waiting for the scare - never happens. 😊

For those worried about the young cast.. Don't Breathe had a largely young cast. Did it hurt the film? Au contrair, it was mind-blowingly effective. Plus, the main female lead is a rising talent, who have already appeared in a couple of high prestige projects, Civil War being the latest. I think Fede Alvarez can bring the best out of his cast.

Alien is probably my favourite franchise so I'm down for all of it fingers crossed for this one few parts in this trailer actually got me going I'm not gonna lie the set is very much Alien same walls same doors and shit the title sequence made me smile just might of hooked me if I wasn't so sceptical

Very good take on the ensemble cast of the first one. This looks like a teenage Alien movie. It needs more star power. The world is more believable imho when you get characters who spent at least some time in it, like the cast in Alien 1 did. This gave me a feel of those teenage slasher movies of old, where character development and interaction, and character moments, are thrown to the trash in favor of thrills and horror. If you only go for visuals and horror I do not think you get what Alien is really about.

Looked pretty solid to me. Is that the same actor who played 'maximus' in Fallout? If the budget was really as low as $40m then that's bodes very well because it looks good and doesn't need a big box office to make money. It will make a profit on ancillary markets alone.

I need to confirm that number with other sources. I'm skeptical it's that low but I'm rooting for the movies to get back to singles and doubles instead of always going for the homerun.

A theory I have to put out there is that the Company find the charred remains of the "Big Chap" in space floating around and with that they proceed to clone it and somewhat succeed but the copy is left with several defects which is evident in the footage. Damaged head, holes ect. But who knows, It could very well be the original Big Chap from Alien. It looks great none the less. I Can't wait to see it 😊

I'm from the school,that less is more. For me...the trailer was way too long. Brevity is the watchword...show me less and allow my twisted imagination to fill in the rest. I must admit that homework has been respected. The Alien opening blockage is like the original....the metal iris opening is very much a homage to the Dallas scenario...nice! This looks good...but I prefer the teaser. Hollywood is in fear mode...they have not learned to dole out just enough visuals to ignite speculation and interest. You have an insightful... genuine reaction...Kudos.

The chain theaters have fault in The May Massacre. Overpriced tickets for movies that are going to streaming within two weeks, for the price of a evening ticket to own. The price of a matinee to rent. Or wait over a month for the film to be on Netflix or Max. For years, theaters were losing its appeal to general audience by overpricing everything and didn't care, until competition showed up.

the main problem with this version of "Alien" is: the cast is TOO YOUNG! they act and react accordingly ... you can make a teenage horror movie - like scream, final destination & co. - with young actors, but sending teenagers on a space trip to a mining planet?!? WHY? My impression after the trailers: Scream with an Alien instead of a mask! Is this supposed to be the future of the Alien franchise? No, thanks! ;-) PS: I am not an Alien "fan" - I saw them all, like them all (more or less), have them all on Blu Ray, but I am also one of those who likes Prometheus and Covenant ;-) Why?

This does look good. But I think the entire cast shown is in their 20 s why not just make them all teenagers. I would have liked to see an Alien film that followed up after David got his new test subjects after the last film. It already looks like there is going to be a very young female taking on the protaganist role. Okay fine...but my lead role choice would be a talented ships cook who is late 50's and a little overweight as the new leader of the survivors to deal with the infestation. I do hope the film as is does well. I just watched the trailer again and now I would definitely see this in a theatre. The director did Don't Breathe which is a movie I liked and actually own on dvd.
