As someone who consumes tons of pop culture, who loves science fiction, and has sufficient disposable income, I find myself stunned at how uninteresting this movie looks.
The first film is the least interesting thing Sigourney Weaver has ever done, had no memorable lines or scenes or characters, and featured aliens that I could not find compelling. Yes it made money, and continues to do so since it keeps being re-released, and to their credit (I believe) they are not re-editing it each time. So there's one nice thing about it.
I am stunned that this has a chance at making money. My students haven't seen the first film, and so I imagine that it's being targeted at me. The trailer looks dull, and I don't know any of the characters. The message seems ham-fisted, and spelled out in the trailer.
Profound disinterest means that I won't be seeing it, ever, I expect.
