Priya C. @Sci-FiTrekkie May 17 Alien: Covenant is a disappointing follow up to Prometheus. What could have been a great sequel exploring ideas brought up in Prometheus instead plays out like a generic horror film. I miss when the alien franchise had good writing, characters and creative direction. The only good parts of this film was Michael Fassbender’s acting and the new creature. Ultimately this film is a let down. See more Benjamin W. @Code70 May 16 A solid, if flawed, Ridley Scott Alien film. I feel like this one’s a bit better than Prometheus, since that one was so fixated on philosophical ideas. This one gives you more action and gore that we can appreciate, and it’s more entertaining. But, sometimes, it does try to veer back into Prometheus territory, exploring these themes and asking these kinds of questions again. And it feels like it’s trying to merge two things that never fully gel together, like it’s trying to be two different movies in one. It also has some more dumb decisions from supposedly smart characters, and kinda cheapens some events from Prometheus by quickly explaining them away, making that whole journey feel kinda pointless. But, overall, this is a solid enough film. It’s entertaining, it’s got the gore and action that you want from an Alien film, and- though it doesn’t do too good of a job at it- is thematically rich.

Definitely a relic of a bygone sensibility, but entertaining enough I suppose.

No thought given to the basics, such as the availability of oxygen on the new planet. The acting by the leads is just about okay—a complete disappointment. See more christopher Z @RT53319256 May 1 Bon on va être honnête 2 minutes ce film et une pure merde. Les personnes sont plus stupide les une que les autres c'est à s'en arracher les yeux. Sinon les effet spéciaux et la tentative de faire une suite a Prometheus qui aurait pu être connecté aux premier Alien aurait fait sens mais le script part dans les sapins ce qui au final rend cette expérience assez pénible. Pourtant fan de la saga Alien et Predator j'y voyais la une nouvelle voit potentiel pour la franchise ce film me laisse un impression de star wars 8 ou y'a des idées mais sa part dans tout les sens. Car ça introduit les Ingénieur pour les wipe en 30 secondes pour nous sortir que David à créer les Xenomorphes car il voulait devenir un créateur (dieu) et c'est cramer direct que Walter sera remplacer par David... heureusement que les effet spéciaux sont là...
