Most of this Poll isn't /m/ related market research-san
And "excited"? In this economy?

The only things I'm remotely interested in
>Alien: Earth
doesn't really look like it captures any of the dreamy vibe I like from the original Alien stuff or Ridley Scott's prequels. At this point idk if I like Alien as a brand as much as I like Ridley Scott and his style of sci-fi.
>Tron: Ares
Haven't even bothered to watch the trailer. I saw the poster on /tv/ and saw people posting about it being set irl instead of the grid.
>Predator: Badlands
Probably more interesting to me than the first two, but the protagonist predator design is anatomically inconsistent with every other entry in the series (except for Prey, which I also hate the look of), so I'm just like - fuck it looks like some kind of off-brand Aldi Predator movie. Otherwise approaches the most interesting ideas to me, with the alien planet, the cyborgs, seems to kind of have the energy of an 80's sci-fi fantasy movie like Krull or some shit, I like the Predators as characters. It has the most (as in amount) interesting ideas. Shame it's so visually off-putting I have no real interest in seeing it.
>Godzilla: Minus One sequel
Need to see the first one. It's something I actually will watch.
Although I'm kind of suspicious about how it showed up and was met with near universal praise from the press instead of generating any real word of mouth.
Shin Godzilla instantly intrigued me with its trailers. It was haunting.
Minus One looks ok, but idk if anything about it really entices me.
>live action Gundam
Uh ... I am morbidly curious. Gundam is pretty important to me and I wouldn't be able to forgive a live action fuckup. On the other hand if a live action movie actually manages to do it justice I'd be pretty happy.
>New Ridley Scott Alien film
Wait, what? Yes please let Ridley do what he wants.

>Romulus sequels, AVP stuff
Didn't care for Romulus. Had some ok ideas but it's just safe in a way Alien wasn't. The underpinnings of all these original great sci-fi things we're still riffing on: it was Nietzsche, Crowley, Jodorowsky, Giger, all these really daring artists and thinkers. I can bring myself to say Romulus was a good start, it has some positive points. Easiest quickest thing I can say is the baby creature at the end had a disappointing and slightly boring visual design. Was unnerving because of the actor, but it just looked like Marylin Manson when it could have been really wild and even more daring.
Also was the least bloody and gory of the mainline Alien films - which is a huge part of the power of the first two.
AVP stuff I do have a soft spot for. The comics, games, and even the shitty 00's movies. I do not trust current Hollywood to do it justice, but combining Alien and Predator creates an inherently interesting collection of sci-fi ideas.
>any new unnanounced Predator stuff
same problem with everything else.
Do you have what it takes to pull it off?
You know most of the appeal of the original Predator movie isn't the monster at all. It's Arnold and the machismo of a cast full of wrestlers.
Where is the energy?
>Anything from James "Testosterone is a Poison" Cameron
Look I can understand when the Greeks talked about the relief that comes from getting old and chilling out.
But I also didn't really like Avatar 1, and haven't really liked any movie he's made or sequels to his movies he's publicly endorsed, since.
>Any new Star Wars film
I do sort of hope for a Daisy Ridley sequel to the disaster that was the new trilogy that manages to justify that trilogy's existence. Something that ends on a positive optimistic note.
I don't really want more than that. If Star Wars must continue, it should get away from being tied to one timeline in the way Gundam has AUs.

Just a final thought
There's a lot listed on this poll that I don't recognize that might actually interest me if I knew what it was.
There's also a lot that seems to be names of things I recognize, that I know I probably won't be interested in because it's a reboot of something that's already been played out and is coasting on name recognition.
I think a way to my heart is originality.
Death Stranding 2 isn't something I totally love, but I do like it. It has its red cyborgs, and they're one of the more interesting and haunting bits of imagery from the past 5 years. It stands out.
Show me new things. Excite me. Show me things I haven't seen.

It's why I like Ridley Scott. The C-Section of Prometheus rivals the chestburster of the original. That's something I never expected to see, even if that film isn't popular with normalfags and critics.

which one is it, lads?
A) they actually have the balls to tell an original story that isn't merely an adaptation of 0079.
B) Amuro Ray is a lesbian now and if you don't like it then you're a racist misogynist incel.
C) Sayla Mass is the protagonist and Amuro Ray is an immature, irresponsible fool who hogs all the glory and is played by Chris Pratt. This Princess Rides a Gundam.

I know you are retarded but this is extra retarded. Minus One's success and critical praise was because of its amazing word of mouth which is why anyone paid attention to it initially. You live under a gay autistic rock you amazing dipshit

iirc Earth's crew has gone out of their way to say this _won't_ be attached to the modern Ridley stuff, sorta like how the dead Blomkamp was going to ignore everything after Aliens

I like Prometheus.
It doesn't compare to the original Alien (or Bladerunner which it has theme overlap with), but I also can't think of a sci-fi movie since Prometheus that's been quite as interesting and concept dense.
And on top of this, despite some of my complaints about the cast, characterization, awkward scenes and so on, it manages to have some really great scenes: like the C-Section and some of the weirder moodier moments. I've always loved the conversation between David and Holloway, where David leads Holloway into giving him permission to spike his drink.

And then, being a fan of Ridley and his sci-fi, I watched a lot of the behind the scenes stuff.
It turns out Prometheus had a script originally that was way smarter. It would have been a longer, more cerebral film, with ambitions aiming to compete with 2001: A Space Odyssey in its scope.
FOX brought Damon Lindelof onto the project essentially to dumb it down for the mass market, because they weren't confident it would make its money back if it were too cerebral.
Alien: Covenant seems to have been much the same story: where studio mandates demand Ridley dumb down his movies.
I see Ridley as a kind of superman struggling against the studio system and mostly succeeding at creating interesting and entertaining, if flawed sci-fi films, in spite of ridiculous pressures at work to prevent him from making the movies he really wanted to make with his Alien prequels.
