The Sci-Fi Masterpiece That Ridley Scott Dismissed as Too “Slow” Is Officially Streaming for Free

Director Ridley Scott made a disappointing return to the sci-fi genre this year, with the post-apocalyptic movie The Dog Stars. Starring Jacob Elordi in the lead role, the film grossed around $40 million worldwide against a reported budget of approximately $100 million. Around the same time as the film’s release and mediocre reception, Scott announced his intention to return to the Alien franchise, which he helped create in the 1970s. The only trouble is that the franchise was going in an entirely different direction, one that Scott clearly wasn’t too impressed by. Scott voiced similar reservations about another reboot of one of his most memorable movies. The movie in question was recently added to a free streaming platform.
