We’ve had enough: Noah Hawley falls victim to Ridley Scott’s low quality Alien prequel cinema
Noah Hawley’s Alien: Earth is closer to release, and that means more details are about to surface.
As we tick away calendar days until launch, a new trailer has arrived to spin more rumours.
What We Learnt from the Trailer
Unfolding in the year 2120, the trailer sets the stage for a potentially frightening prequel. If you didn’t like the idea of Romulus, but still want a new direction for the franchise — then this could be what you’re waiting for. Only, it’s more disappointment.
Wendy (played by Sydney Chandler), a human-synthetic hybrid follows her handler, Kirsh, (Timothy Olyphant) into the wreckage of a crashed extraterrestrial ship.

Leading a team of heavily armed soldiers, the crew delve into the wreckage where they find alien lifeforms, including — Xenomorphs.
There looks to be four to five different species of creature, alluding to the fact that the big crappies aren’t the only threat.
The Verdict
The city the spaceship crash lands in appears to be CGI — big facepalm — moving away from what fans hoped it would avoid. If you’re going to use computer generated effects, then at least set the scene at night so you can obscure some of the lesser outputs of such a technique. Thanks Disney!
It looks like more Ridley Scott slop, proving he has lost his touch when it comes to the franchise, and this is the cherry on top of a very big slap in the face for fans. What happened to the horror? Let’s hope for more, because Noah Hawley has a flawless portfolio; that is if he can turn this around.
