I've enjoyed it on each watch, although I read that future instllments have been shelved

I want to know more about the Engineers
Absolutely. It sucks to hear that the other 2 prequels won't be going ahead. Are there any novels that cover this stuff at least? I need to know about the Engineers!
I just watched Alien 3 for the first time. Guys, I fucking hated it. Maybe it was just the particular rip I got, but I found the sound design to be atrocious. The mixing is all over the place. I also found many of the shots to be jarring and amateurish. Then there's the shitty writing. Ripley's character is weird as fuck. Bitterly disappointed after having my interest in the franchise rekindled recently by Covenant.
I'll be re-watching Resurrection next. I'm still on the fence about whether or not I want to touch the AvP movies.
Which version of 3 did you watch? The “Assembly Cut” is waaaaaaaaay better than the theatrical version. Although if you had audio mixing issues, it might have been the AC since it was never technically finished.

i thought the first AvP movie was a really fun B-movie sort of flick
