Isolation recently got me into the series in a big way. It convinced me to by the 4 movie DVD set, and man, I wish I'd have given them a shot sooner - I had only seen the first two as a kid and didn't remember much at all.

I don't see why 3 & 4 get so much flak - or rather, I don't see them as the atrocities that other people do. 3 may even be my favorite despite its subpar sfx, but then, I always love it when someone is bold enough to kill off major characters in a live-action franchise - plus I dug the setting and religious tones. 4 is a super-cheesy action-packed Frankenstein movie with a futuristic setting. It's definitely the worst of the four, but shouldn't be ignored. If Blomkamp is looking to write off 3 & 4, he's just being terribly lazy and taking the easy way out. Although if it's done in a way that can be taken as just an alternate reality, I suppose I could dig it. Please, no fever dream/Dallas-style BS.

Blomkamp has said that he is not omitting 3 or 4 from the cannon, the new movie is set between Aliens and Alien 3. Remember how newt had grown up when they found her body? not sure if they will really explain how Hicks still has a fresh bandage on him but a lot of time has passed while they were in Hypersleep. A lot could have happened inbetween that, and they could explain a bit more about how Ripley managed to end up with a face hugger. Not too sure how they will work around Sigourney's age, she looks a lot different now.
