I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.
Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.
I always go by audience. The fact that they are critics seems like a type of selection bias.
The audience has its own self selection bias, as it is people interested in seeing the movie. That is the best group to rate whether the target audience is satisfied with the end result.
I only look at audience for horror and comedy.
