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.

        Yeah! I thought the movie did a great job making sense of the recurring archetypes/ characters. Okay we’re friends now
