Alien: Covenant

So it's promising

Wonder if there will be a scene during the credits, I don't think there will but a lot of movies are doing it these days

From what i got read from Joblo's review

Prometheus's David's back in the movie and sounds like he's been messing around on the Engineer's planet.

From what I've gleaned, that seems quite likely.

F#ck there's a bunch of reviews in already and they're mostly positive, so I'm thinking this is going to rock...

Rotten Tomatoes

"Alien: Covenant indulges in a spectacle that's been missing from summer movies for the past decade or so."

"Scott has effectively created a satisfying hybrid of Alien, Prometheus and even James Cameron's Aliens."

Edward Douglas

*Top Critic

"Alien: Covenant is cruel and scary - it's a hard R, and the suspense levels are off the charts. The monsters ... are believable and terrifying."

"Be warned that Alien: Covenant is about 40 percent Alien, 50 percent Prometheus and 10 percent absolutely bonkers."

Kristy Puchko
CBR

"A haunting descent into hell."

Priscilla Page
Birth.Movies.Death.

"Come for the chestbursters, the movie says, stay for the deeper meditation of cruel Gods, mere mortals, and creators gone mad."

My body is fuc#ing ready...

(for alien impregnation)

"It's a masterful piece of world building, epic in scale, with new monsters which will likely delight Alien freaks and HR Giger fans alike."

My t!ts just got hard.

I'm not comparing film to film but Skull Island blew me away at how much of a fun ride it was.

I'm hoping Covenant comes close.

Let me just burst all over yer chest... 😉

We got an Alien orgy going on in here

I'm gonna put my eggs all over your ships.

The trailers just put my dick so hard I could tear the nostromo apart with it.

Let's get super sexy in here..

"War of the Worlds" is the future of the Alien franchise... hell yeah...

Sounds like he wants to expand it, open it up more on the scale of Star Wars...

I'd be up for that, love the alien franchise, it's too bad predator isn't getting the same thing

Seems they're doing the same thing as the first Predator with a group of soldiers but a different location for the new Pred movie.

Hmmm... I wonder, is the Alien franchise strong enough? After all, as Ridley puts it, it's about this alien. And people got to kill it... I wonder how long this stays interesting.

Well, here's hoping for a great Alien: Covenant!

I liked the first 2 films, 3 and resurrection not so much so hopefully covenant knocks it out the park

They released a "Spoiler Free" review...

I'm a little disappointed to hear this...

The Plot

The overall plot for Alien: Covenant was much easier to follow than that of Prometheus. However, the film was nowhere near on the same scale and scope of concept as Prometheus. As someone who enjoyed Prometheus for its profound and seemingly limitless concepts, I found Covenant to be rather narrow in view. The focus was very clearly on David and his personal vendetta, with very little to no expansion of the Engineer mythology, their city prior to David’s arrival and their own agenda and the explanation behind the prevented assault of Earth 2,010 years prior. I was disappointed with the lack of explanation concerning the Engineer home world and the questions posed regarding their society in Prometheus. The prologue sequence involving David and Shaw very clearly explained that David had learned of the Engineer’s ways but nowhere in Covenant does David explain and elaborate on those “ways”. The mystery surrounding the Engineer culture, their relationship with the Black Goo and their agenda to destroy mankind were not addressed, or explained.

However, if you were not that fascinated with the Engineer side of the story, then you may find Covenant more enjoyable – as the film clearly harkens back to the concepts and themes present in Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986).

...but when they've got like 3 or 4 sequels already in the works, whatevs...
