I watched Aliens with my 10-year-old daughter a few weeks ago. We had watched Alien a few weeks before. She had wanted to watch a real horror, but couldn't make it through the first few minutes of Scream, so we settled on Alien. She thought the alien bursting out of John Hurt's character was really funny. And it is. She thought the beginning of Aliens was too slow and it wasn't all that scary for her, but she enjoyed the film overall. I don't know if I would watch Prometheus with her - I'm sure she'd agree that film was terrible.

Prometheus wasn't bad I think, I just never compared or put it in the same league as Alien(s).

  Ripley would have just ran sideways.

    Right. And she wouldn't have acted all butt-hurt about just having had a c-section without anesthesia.

      That c-section was simultaneously the best and worst part of the movie for me. The scene itself was great. Thematically and artistically, it was on-point. It felt like exactly the kind of scene that belongs in an Alien movie. What I hated is how the rest of the cast failed to react after it was done. They had been trying to capture her, she gets away, gets it cut out of her, and then everyone seems to forget or forgive just because that old guy was coming out of cryo-sleep. They should not have been so easily distracted.

  It wasn't that bad (I was negatively disappointed by it and my girlfriend was pissed off at me for taking her to it, but it was because neither of us realized it's a prequel to Alien) - though I still think the best part of this movie was the TED 2023 trailer.
