OT Which was the worst sequel to a storied Sci-Fi franchise?

Discuss.

Alien for me, that was bad. There was a lot that I enjoyed about TLJ.

the fact that this is a discussion means I'm not going to spend close $100 on babysitting to take the Mrs to the theater. We'll probably Netflix/Amazon/AppleRent/RedBox this one.

Neither. Phantom Menace is still worse than Last Jedi. And that's saying a lot because LJ was really bad.

I meant for 2017.

There were 3 major sci fi reboots/sequels this year, Star Wars, Alien, and Blade Runner. A big year for us hard core sci-fi fans. Alien and Star Wars were a bit of a let down.

Blade runner was awful

I liked Jedi, so for the poll I'd have to go Alien

 

[SlyPokerDog]

New additions to the poll and you can vote for 2 of them.

IMO the new Star Trek kicks ass. So good.

Blade Runner 2049 was good, not great, Jedi was disapointing, Alien was OK.

Alien Resurrection may be the worst installment to a popular sci-fi franchise that I have seen. Funny, because I usually like Josh Whedon writing. Resurrection was like taking the worst parts of Scott & Cameron's films and making them needlessly chaotically odd and gross. And although people complained about Star Trek: Into Darkness, for my money Star Trek: The Motion Picture is the single worst big budget sci-fi film I have ever seen. The director of The Sound of Music gives us Vger, who wants to get it on with a "The Creator!"

Independence Day!

The last Aliens sucked because British actors with a cockney accent in a echo room could not be understood. The script sucked too!

Yea. That particular Star Trek movie had a good half hour of boring special effects.
