There has been a steady decline in quality with each new iteration. Which is strange, since with the exception of Cameron, the other directors have been people whose work is usually quite good. Frankly, I thought Alien Resurection was about as awful as big budget movies get. Having said that, and also having gone into the theater with fairly low expectations, I wasn't too disappointed. At this point, there's really no profit in expecting that any Alien film will even manage to add anything interesting to the mythos, to say nothing of coming close to the original in terms of creepiness, subtexts, writing or direction. Also, there's really nothing to spoil in terms of the plot that the trailer doesn't mention.
