Alien: Covenant

[FreeOnes_Adam]

I think I made a mistake when I watched the original again the night before I went to see Covenant. Maybe I'm missing something, maybe it needs to grow on me, I don't know. The first 2 are just awesome. This one? Ehhh..

Who saw it and what did you think?

 

[freeones_regina]

What original did you see prior to Covenant?

The old 70's / 80's Alien? Or Prometheus which is the prequel to Covenant and both movie story lines take place before the original Alien.

I saw Covenant yesterday, thought it was OK but not mind blowing, just an entertaining popcorn flick, and I thought the same of Prometheus which sucked according to some people.

Saw it on saturday.

Leaving the movie theater I remembered the words of Jeff Goldblum :

I watched Prometheus a couple of times now, and I am still waiting for me to like it. I really really want to like it, but ehh.

I am just over the whole creation thing. Give me monsters lurking in the darkness of space and I'm gold. I guess I don't need all this extra junk.


The Space Jokey was cool enough to imagine without being hit over the head with it over and over who they were and where the Aliens come from in these new films. The more the movies come out, the less and less "alien" the aliens become. I liked them as proper Aliens I guess.

Prometheus which is the prequel to Covenant and both movie story lines take place before the original Alien.

Exactly and to me Covenant is just a little bit better than Prometheus in other words it is just OK not good, not bad.
Like Prometheus the movie is a little bit boring the action starts almost at the end.

Caution SPOIL if you didn't watched and if planned to do.
It show you how the Xenomorph got created, pretty weird the first time that i see that they come from a kind of mushroom first WTF? :eek:
And then the Bot "there alway a bad robot in the Alien movies" has created them like we know them today, it made some expériences and find out that the human are good for what he searched to create.
End of spoil

If i had to rate this movie i guess i would give 13/20.

The best alien movie to me is and i guess will always be the second one by James Cameron this one is a true masterpiece one of my all time favorite.

Originally I felt like Prometheus 1 was a bit borning, but now that I've watched this one, which is really Prometheus 3, I'm now going to watch Prometheus again to make sure I understand the story, I wonder when Prometheus 2 will be coming out, very strange that they've been releasing them in this strange order, but maybe it will work

 

[FreeOnes_Adam]

MY whole thing is, I don't think we need 3, let a lone 2 films to tell us about the origins of the xenomorphs. Can't they just be monsters? I liked it when they were monsters.

 

[BCT]

They need to stop making these movies.

I was wonder what are you talking about, Then i go to Wiki and read this.

In September 2015, Ridley Scott revealed he was planning two sequels to Prometheus, which would lead into the first Alien film, even adding: "Maybe [there will] even [be] a fourth film before we get back into the Alien franchise."[70][71] In November 2015, Scott confirmed that Alien: Covenant would be the first of three more films before linking up with original Alien, thus starting a new trilogy of sci-fi films,[50][72] and stated that Prometheus sequels will reveal who created the xenomorph Aliens.[73] According to an interview with Scott that took place on the set of Alien: Covenant in 2016, Scott had the screenplay for the third prequel film written while working on Alien: Covenant, so that he could "be ready to go again next year". Scott also mentioned the revived franchise could go on for even longer than previously mentioned; "If you really want a franchise, I can keep cranking it for another six. I'm not going to close it down again. No way", said Scott.[74] In March 2017, Scott stated that if Alien: Covenant and the film that would follow it are successful, he has plans for another three Alien films. Scott explained "It will go Prometheus, Awakening, Covenant", revealing that the title for the next Alien film would be Alien: Awakening and that the timeline of the films would be Alien: Awakening taking place chronologically in between Prometheus and Alien: Covenant and featuring Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender from Prometheus reprising their roles as Elizabeth Shaw and David 8.[75] In May 2017, Scott revealed that Alien: Awakening was originally the name of Neill Blomkamp's since-cancelled Aliens sequel, and that Scott had repurposed the film as an interquel to Prometheus and Alien: Covenant

Damn it! how many they will doing again? that's start to get annoying and if it's between prometheus and covenant we gonna be prepare for another boring one with a lot of blah, blah and no many much action.
Without me this time.

Let me write the next Alien script. I'll give them a story that actually does honour to the franchise. Oh, the things that would happen!

I want a reboot, or at least from aliens 3 on, as if they never happened, or just a nightmare Ripley (and the audience) had while in cryo. I know, lame, but drastic measures and such. That actually was in the works with Sigourney Weaver and Michael Biehn on board but it fell through.

 

[FreeOnes_Adam]

Picture this shit. Alien: The Earth Hive


Fucking yeah. They come to earth and fuck shit up. And humans lose. That's my Alien.

 

[hawk2005]

I've got Friday off, this sounds like a plan, I like any kind of sci fi

 

[HansMoleman]

Picture this shit. Alien: The Earth Hive


Fucking yeah. They come to earth and fuck shit up. And humans lose. That's my Alien.

Get this man to Hollywood...stat! Seriously, I'd watch the hell out of that.

Michael Biehn needs to saw off more shotguns and hunt Cyborgs.

It's all up here. I've been dreaming about that story for many many years. I would love that shit too.

Yay a sequel to ressurection with good old Sigourney Weaver that would be awesome i really want to see Xenomorphs on earth.

 

[FreeOnes_Adam]

Not only do they fucking own earth, I would show a deeper look into their society as a species.

Example, you know how they have the queen and drones? It's like bees or ants right? Well, how about a unique species in their line up known as the royal guard? Evil fucking bastards that protect the queen alien. If presented the right way, I think they could be pretty fucking awesome.

I know exactly how'd they land here, and how they'd thrive enough to start taking over. Its alllllllllllll up here.

I haven't seen covenant yet.
I liked AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004), even though most people didn't because it was set in the present and disrupted the Alien movies timeline.
Instead of a "scary" Alien movie, I'd rather see an R-Rated Alien vs Predator vs Terminator movie, with time travel, space ships, alien planets, lots of action, adventure and hot chicks.
