Prometheus currently dominates Alien Resurrection 66–34
Scott's flawed homecoming still outclasses Jeunet's strange detour.
The Verdict Decade Duel
Prometheus has problems that have been catalogued exhaustively — the biologist who pets the alien snake, the geologist who gets lost in the cave he's mapping — but it also has Michael Fassbender bouncing a basketball in an empty spaceship, dyeing his hair to look like Peter O'Toole, delivering every line like a machine practicing humanity. That performance anchors a film that keeps reaching beyond its grasp. Resurrection has the underwater chase and Ron Perlman being Ron Perlman, but at 66 to 34 voters choose the Alien film that aimed too high over the one that aimed sideways. Ridley Scott's ambition, even misfiring, carries more weight than Jeunet's curiosity.
