Anyway back on topic I've finally watched Genisys and, well, it screams fan service from start to finish. It even feels written by fans if you know what I mean.

It's no better or worse than T3, both are just average flicks, but Genisys has that unfortunate 'cocaine for the fans' smell that IMO makes it even more irreleant than the former within the franchise (of course part of T3 is fan service as well but its not trying nearly as hard)

I wish blocking a user blocked when they were quoted too.

Can we at least agree that t2 pin is better than t3, but t3 has better dmd animations.

Too much illogical ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, bad acting and bad direction for all involved, especially the audience.

Just like Alien and Aliens. T2 had more action, one-liners, and pretty straightforward in story telling, just like Aliens had compared to Alien.

Both series had ---smurfy--- third entries, and with either series I only care about the first two movies. The rest are irrelevant.

I love the Alien franchise, so assumed you were wrong about Alien3. Then I tried to remember what Alien 3 was about and couldn't so had to google it. That reminded me of the premise, but I still don't remember a damn thing about the movie despite owning it and seeing it at least 2 times.
....so yes. Forgettable. Or at least denial on my part.

If anyone has an audible membership, Alien: Out of the Shadows is one of the free Audible originals this month.

Shame I already bought it a long time ago.
I thought it was pretty friggin' awesome. Haven't listened to the other two yet. The X-Files originals are even better.

This pretty much exactly summarises my initial Alien3 experience - after watching it the first time I tried to blot it out of my memory, with a lot of success at first. But then I watched it again about 10 years later and didn't hate it as much, even liked some bits, but yes, was probably better left forgotten.

I enjoyed the characters in Alien Resurrection, that movie got me to better appreciate Peter Dinklage as an actor and made me look forward to another sequel with same characters (it never came).

I watched Terminator Salvation. That movie is ridiculous. Anton Yelchin is in it. Depressed me a bit.
