Why does this thing exist (beyond a cynical money grab, that is) like, at all? This reboot appears to be a carbon copy of the original movie, with the exception that “Chucky” is now “Buddi”– what’s with the “i” anyway?–and is powered by AI (artificial intelligence) instead of Vodou.

Initially I thought that an idea of a series of short films based within the Alien universe was a great idea. That is, till I saw Alien: Containment and came to–in hindsight a hasty conclusion–that maybe it’s not such a bad idea that the Alien franchise maybe takes a bit of a break. As I […]
