Alien: Covenant footage was screened. Results are in...

Yeah.. well, I am not that good at posting thing's, I am still learning but I will get better. I hope I didn't cause too much trouble. I hope you liked the facts:-) (FYI..it's "She's" learning) :-P)

CG alien sucks!
But 'bloody HORROR film'.
I'll check it out once it hit the theaters

A few new TV spots today – and talking of CG aliens that suck:

I'm lost on why Scott is ready to start pumping these movies out. So far, it looks like a copy of Prometheus with more xenomorphs.

My only idea is ego. Maybe he sees himself on the end of the back nine and he wants the definitive story to be his. I will go see it, but I don't expect much.

Just thought I'd throw this out here, but over on my YouTube channel i'll be doing a special pre and post video for Alien: Covenant on the 10th. Basically a very short video of me sharing what my expectations are then a quick video straight after the screening of my first reactions to the movie but no review. Obviously I'll do a movie review but I will want to share my immediate reactions of the movie after seeing it for the first time. Click the link to check out my channel if any of you guys are interested, thanks.

Well this was a nice surprise:

Cool. The Ozymandias line is filled with subtexts.

As soon as David said "our arrival" and saw the floating ships I got deja vu...



Question: why in the **** does Luz still trust David? After Prometheus, giving the guy his body back seems like suicide.

Yeah. That prologue / epilogue makes sense with Prometheus.

Well,

Both Cameron and Weaver claimed to have read the script and loved it. He's just trying to downplay it, because he knows if Blomkamp went ahead with his film it would blow anything Scott had planned out of the water. What's funny is that Blomkamp seems to have a better understanding of what the fans want from an Alien film than the originator. Maybe Covenant will prove me wrong, but the more footage and images I see, the more skeptical I become.

I saw Covenant today, in a Alien marathon and premiere. Really eager to discuss it with you guys, because

(I don't reveal any plots in my spoiler, just my feelings.)

I almost opened your spoiler but better not.

@Dani, I added to my post above: I don't reveal any plots in my spoiler, just my feelings

LOL El! I enjoyed your non spoilery spoiler.

Same. Saw it today.

My God... I was like, seriously? I just couldn't take it... I probably had it worse than you it seemed.

Have to say I'm really not interested in this.
I really think they should just let this "Franchise" go. There were two classic movies, the last of which was over 30 years ago. The rest... not so much.

Ha, me too, early into the movie I thought "Really, Scott? After all the criticism that Prometheus received about its contamination protocol, now you clear the path by simply throwing that protocol away? After the unpleasant crew of Prometheus, now you create a new crew more numerous, more uninteresting, so that none of the deaths will stick out like a sore thumb? Great way to direct."

Acting as the crew was, it's almost too easy to kill them on the new planet. We don't even need the xeno (which, IMO, looks really fake and cheesy here). I really miss H. R. Giger.

It's too easy I don't feel scared even once during the whole movie, and normally I'm a scared cat. I enjoyed "Life" much more, though that movie is not without its own sins. At least it terrified me at the aspect of some "innocent galactic single cell".

I hate to hear these underwhelming impressions. It looks so good, yet seems to be so unsavory on the palette.

I guess I'll just go see Guardians again. Then I'll take my mom to see Guardians.

The trailers are extremely misleading imo.
