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.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

    Great recommendations in here. One thing that surprised me personally was

    civil war (2024)

    great movie, had a blast. Was surprised rotten tomatoes / IMDb seemed to hate it.

      My running theory on this is the Americans really didn’t like how close it hits home/stings, and just gave it a bad rating

      I wouldn’t say 81% fresh and a 7/10 are necessarily bad. I might rate it a little higher personally, but those are decent scores.

      Though as Coaxil says, given curent events I’m not sure I can ever re-watch it. :(

        Oh cool, its audience score seems to have improved considerably compared to last time I checked‽ That is good news for the filmmakers.

        the hitting close to home part - yeah I get it. If you are in a red state I hope you stay safe and find a way out of the situation. It sucks so bad if the government stops working for you.
