Before going to see any film I used to find what the most of the people says about a film. Otherwise, all the money and time will be drained into the sewerage. So why should you watchAlien: Covenant? According to public opinion, it's a good movie overall. Read what are they saying.
I don't understand all the negative reviews? They almost made me not go watch this movie, then I remembered everyone is over opinionated nowadays that it didn't matter. The movie is good! I had no idea it was a sequel to Prometheus. Seeing Walter back from Prometheus was awesome! Overall I loved this movie and it had me thinking about it for a while. I highly recommend it and have nothing negative to say about it.
As a hardcore fan of the franchise, I feel like this was the perfect next step to bring what started in Prometheus closer to Alien. My only complaint, and it's minor, is all of the creature actors and some practical effects were replaced with CGI.
I would describe this sequel to Prometheus as repulsive, thrilling and boring storywise. Alien: Covenant is not better than Prometheus but definitely worth seeing. Not a bad movie. Visually stunning. Fassbender is the only character worth anything. Terribly forgettable. No real terror or suspense. The climax will leave you wanting more. The ending was kinda pointless. I'll see the third installment but I'm no longer excited about the prospect.
So I do think Prometheus is a better movie. As usual Ridley Scott has an amazing production value and the ships and vehicles and space suits all look a fantastic and top notch. The issue is they used CGI on the alien which is fine for the grown alien but I literally laughed out loud when the baby alien came out the guy's chest....... it just looked so bad. the other issue is the ending. I really wish they wouldn't have told us (trying to be spoiler free) and would have ended it with you guessing if it was or wasn't him.... Then my group would have probably been talking about that after instead of how bad the alien CGI was. Just my opinion definitely see it if you were interested!!
Much potential, but fell short of becoming a classic. No real new ground is created and the film also mostly eradicates/disregards the events of Prometheus, instead of building upon it. Still entertaining, very much a summer popcorn flick, but falls short of being thought-provoking sci-fi.
This movie is a double-edged sword the plot was pretty weak that weighed down the amazing action sequences and the ending was pretty predictable but it is average and rewatchable based mostly because of its intense action and amazing shots it felt more like a filler movie is the Alien saga it'll be interesting where it picks up next
1. The new Xenomorphs in the movie are known as Neomorphs. In the beginning, there is 2 of these. However as the movie chugs along - one of them seemingly never appears again. Being curious, I headed over to the Alien wiki - and read that allegedly one of the Neomorphs died in the Wheat Field scene - however having watched the movie, I didn't see that. It looked to me like that Neomorph managed to scurry away from the bullets - but allegedly it did not. If in fact, the Neomorph died in that scene, it was done in such a bad way that many watchers couldn't see it that way. I have acquired the movie again, and rewatched the scene multiple times - and I do agree on the director intended for it to die there - he shot in such a way that visually anybody with half a brain cell would assume it scurried away. When it 'dies' it is already running away and about to be obscured by tall grass - and it takes a few hits and then the camera pans to another scene almost immediately. You see nobody or indication of death, the Neomorph doesn't even appear to slump in the grass. Overall the director should have had the wit to show the body - even though they vacate the wheat field moments later when they are saved from the second Neomorph. Seriously - 1 second of footage showing a corpse would have saved me from waiting for the entire movie for it to show up - only to be left scratching my head. And - as anybody Alien fan will know - these Morphs can take a heck amount of bullets before being felled - so I had no logical reason to assume it died from maybe all of 4 bullets out of 200 fired making a connection.
2. The movie is 20 years before the original - and makes a huge, huge error in making David the creator of Xenomorphs. You see - when they were first discovered in the first movie - it was in a FOSSILIZED ship - in fact, the dead space jockey was also referred to in such a manner - meaning it was ancient, and therefore the Xeno origins should be ancient - however, this is not the case. Instead, we're now expected to believe they're 20 years old.
We do know we can expect another film, as the movie's iteration of Xenomorphs are not yet the ones we are familiar with, they are largely missing the biomechanical details of their later brethren. I do believe this is directly related to the final scene, where David chokes up some Facehugger embryos, rather than them growing in an egg - it is likely that through some space voodoo, this means they have gained mechanical aspects from David - and he will use those 2 face huggers elusively to turn the species into what we know it to be.
There is only one possible way to write themselves out of this hole now - and it is that in the next movie David will HAVE to encounter another Engineer settlement. Not only that he will HAVE to procure another working Engineer ship - OR the Engineers will have to try to escape with eggs, somehow - overall it's a really big mess and all of that that still fails to explain the ancient nature of the ship in the classic Alien
I'm also puzzled about the eggs in general - we know David is not capable of birthing eggs lol - he can hold embryos, but he obviously is not the one birthing eggs the size of a human - which brings me to Covenant - we also have no idea where those eggs in the movie came from - we know eggs are birthed by Queens, but neither movie has a Queen. The next movie could indeed have one to birth the eggs of the new generation, but it seems like a hole in the plot to me.
They have created a sloppy mess in plotline - and they CAN fix it, but there's very limited direction for them to take and thus the next movie will be a lot more predictable and will have to drop the mystery aspect Prometheus and Covenant had going on for them.
