this is not really the meaning of the film, the alien itself is only the pretext to show the face of society as conceived by Weyland Yutani, that is to say with androids serving the clauses of WY, enormous risk-taking for a crew not trained for this mission (the exploration of the Space Jockey ship), and the place of artificial intelligence in society...

Been done.

Idea: Kryptomaniacs, that's kleptomaniacs whoo search from universe after universe stealing Planets Krypton.

They run into an armed Regiment of Supermen from various universe.

While they have kryptonite-based armor and shielding and weapons, the Kryptomaniacs are up against the Superspeed and strength...

The whole melee turns into a bloodbath.

Wouldn't you watch it?
