    You know... I haven't seen any movies since 2014.
    Don't need them anmyway, I just give myself a lot of computing work and have no time at all.

    But I would not see this one even if it were the last movie on earth.

    Exactly. People should understand when to quit. When a franchise is done, and already is good, there is no need to screw it up.
    Two things I'd like to point out:
    1. you cannot fool old-timers, people that were kids at that period or grown-ups will not like these newer movies
    2. they trick young people into thinking this is the first movie.

    Take a look at the music industry, every year music gets re-made (don't have a btter word for it) from older songs. People don't know --they don't care either. They hear a song for the first time and think "wow, this song is sung by X" when in fact it was originally sung by Y. But all credit goes to X instead of Y. See the problem?

    Most of the trailer is filler, and during the last twenty seconds you see an alien killing someone and a facehugger jumping out of its egg, which is what they do, we already know that. If the movie has anything new or attractive, it doesn't show up here.

    Aliens is a classic movie, and a somewhat rare example of a sequel being better than the original.

    I agree. My favorite is Aliens. The third one is ok, the fourth one is forgettable!

    how will they know when it is time to quit? the people involved probably think they can add something to the franchise, something that was not explored yet or previously had little attention paid to (which can include things like: involving brand new visual technology, new angles of a story, new characters, new adventures, new settings, new themes/topics, redesigned old ones,...) - the thing is, usually no director is able to foretell whether his ideas will end up as a successful movie or not, they try and hope for the best

    the same goes for music or anything else man-made
    any kind of digital data consists of binary structures, a combination of 0's and 1's (with a certain purpose given to all of them)
    the contents of our universe is constantly being rearranged into new structures, though all of them resulting from previous structures (past into future)
    all things new are rearranged/redesigned/modified old ones (it is said: 'there is nothing new under the sun')
    new world order is old world order (in a more general sense, yeah?)

    the materialistic reality is conditioned into structures, relationships, dependencies, limitations, all temporary in terms of limited duration (there's even an end of the materialistic reality, and a new beginning and endless cycles thereof), yet not limited in terms of repeating themselves in a new/different way (the aforementioned cycles), so they're limited and not limited at the same time, new and old at the same time, different yet not different at the same time

    An interesting article: 6 Classic Movies You Didn't Know Were Remakes

    And the monomyth theory basically says all stories (which would include movies) are the same one, just with a different setting and characters.

    considering that a not even two minutes trailer is all we have so far it's too early for a proper verdict.

    well, the human story is basically the same for all humans, insofar as: the human being is born (enters the story), lives a lifetime (experiences events in the story) and dies or moves on (exits the story)
    the objective of life is to complete all three stages of the story, all lives are parts of a larger whole (larger story composed of numerous individual stories)
    reincarnation = several stories as chapters/stages with a common theme (experienced by the same individual)
    interestingly, even though one person may have exited the story, its legacy remains a part of the larger story for as long as that larger one is preserved (as long as the materialistic world works, till its end, till the end of that cycle)

    and it is said that all materialistic stories are merely lesser reflections of spiritual realities (like a shadow, compared to the object it came from)
