There are no more Alien movies after Aliens (1986).
Anything produced afterward is, at best, random bad dreams Ripley is having in hypersleep en route back to Earth with Newt, Hicks and Bishop.

I’ll go to all Star Trek, Star Wars, and Alien movies...good or bad....I love them all. Life is short. Have fun.

OMG! Don’t get me started on RLM!
Have you heard their commentary tracks?
They’re hilarious!

There is only one situation in which neutrinos can kill you: in the proximity of a supernova, say a few light years. The neutrino flux races ahead of the visible wave front by a few hours. Both will kill you, but the neutrinos will kill you first.
It is very common in sci fi to treat space travel similar to air travel. You can maneuver just by changing which direction the ship is pointing. But in space there is no air pressure to vector against. To make anything more than a 90° turn while maintaining the same speed, will require as much fuel as it took to attain the original speed.
Using right ascension and declination would work anywhere in space only as long as you have an absolute plane and direction to reference.

Two of the crew are queers. There's no logic in colonizing a planet with homosexuals - I guess Ridley Scott wanted to virtue signal to his Hollywood peers.
The previews even show them doing queer things, so I'm going to pass on this movie.

What was that black goo?
Was the black goo different than the sparkling green goo?
Why did Ridley Scott let his 12 year old son do the make up for Weyland?
Why would the Prometheus crew agree to go on a four year mission when they are not even briefed on what the mission is until right before the mission starts?
What if the mission involved a gang bang?
If the Engineers were running away from the black goo that was attacking them and trying to kill them, then why was the one guy running into the room where all the black goo was when the door closed and cut his head off?
Shouldn't he have been running away from that room?
Did he forget his wallet in there?

Yes I know Sf debris Grace.
We have talked about him many times :)
I have just finished a season of his DS9 reviews.
I also really enjoy Best of the Worst from Red Letter Media.

The plot? A crew of humans on a seemingly very pedestrian trip around the galaxy, stumbles upon a "signal". They simply must investigate. While doing so they also stumble upon a very dangerous and violent xenomorph. It infects the ship and the crew is decimated. One survivor manages to escape but...is there more?
Now...where have I seen that movie before?
The same plot line from Star Wars Episode 4 is used in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Ho and Hum.

UFO’s change direction on a dime seemingly against all physical constraints and the laws of physics. Simply put, we are not going anywhere farther than Earth orbit until we solve the problem of physical limitations. Going to Mars is nothing but a joy ride that could kill the travelers at this point in our technology.
In short, LET IT RIDE just enjoy the wonders of imagination and special effects.

My wife and I watch “Half in the Bag” and their “Wheel of the Worst” and “Best of the Worst” shows like most people watch regular TV shows. I’ve enjoyed “Re:View” a lot, too.
And, yes, their “Blade Runner 2049” skit was hilarious.
