  • Saw it a few days/weeks ago (2024 Oct, so 2 months since this OP). It’s an alright film.

    Several I personally noticed though:

    spoiler
    • For their first-time appearances as characters, since it’s the very first film they were presented, right from the get-go, you’d know who would be the final survivors or who would have the plot armor from the very start, Android Andy and Rain.

    • The actors themselves, I don’t know, from they’re first appearances there, you know they’re not the same experienced actors of the previous films. It showed, it felt. Hence, the fear and fright a viewer should feel were not the same too. Seemingly, the trailer was a little more scary, honestly. I think such casting resulted to less “scary” than the previous films.

    • More reliance on the Android again, although not as much as the previous Prometheus and Covenant. The babying was made apparent too. Like unwittingly yet somehow seemingly there’s much more, like the way she looked at him at times. And, a fully-functioning whole Android, and not even that supposed “found from the trash” poke was believable. She has such an Android when likely no commoners have one in their lifetime, surely such Android could be utilized for income or something, even plain water buffaloes are utilized for field work, transportation, heavy burden, etc. for centuries in rural even “far from civilization” places. I mean something, somehow that Android could have been utilized, no matter the attempt of the film to portray it as not as very useful or frail, which was not really believable. Andy even had the out-of-the-blue robotic strength to hold open those heavy mechanical doors when no previous film androids were seemingly the same.

    • Final monster was not, um, not as overwhelming. No resemblance to the iconic Xenomorph aliens at all, hence reducing connection. It’s somewhat like Edward Norton’s Hulk who had no tiny semblance of his alter ego, hence the believability of the viewer to see him still as Norton’s Banner but transformed to the Hulk was thoroughly reduced during his CGI Hulk scenes. Looking back, I think it was not the very suited decision to have it as the final design of the alien monster, since it somehow resulted to closer to a generic monster appearance.

    • Surprisingly, even though he was just the CGI/AI likeness of the late Ian Holm, Rook still, exhibited that he was the more experienced actor. Can’t understand really. Rook was still scary. So kudos to them for capturing/recreating such.

    • So, not bad, just OK. But still, I can’t rank it above the other last films no matter how divisive they were, they had their own charm and appeals.






  • Well, they’ll probably see it. I think Lemmy users should post there too to trigger them. The Reddit counterpart Mods with those same names are active in the Subreddit counterpart, not just by Mod activity but they’re actually knowledgeable of yt-dlp usage and other programs like Python, and they actually answer/reply there. So hopefully the Lemmy counterpart becomes active too, like at least cross post.


    1. Alright, I checked your screenshot, your results have no single AV1.
    2. Your -S "codec" seems to be not working as you intended anymore. Sometimes the ranking changes too through time, so you must update your command line. Happened to me too before. For example, use -S vcodec:av01. Again, don’t forget, your results have no single AV1, hence no AV1 could be downloaded.

  • So far works for me. For example Joshua vs Dubois highlight:

    yt-dlp.exe -S vcodec:av01 -F https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZJCDbszAE4

    As you can see, the bottom are 399, 398, 397, 396, etc., all AV1 formats. Last is 399 which is 1080p. The last on the list is the one would be downloaded, especially if you have FFmpeg.
