Alien: Covenant

Never trust an android.

Considering you were "Mother" earlier in the thread (and never answered my question  :'( ), this is one of those logic puzzles, isn't it?

[JudgeDredd]

Well I've just been to see this and.............................................

................................as a person who liked Prometheus, this was a worthy follow on. I really liked it. The xenomorph looked proper evil - 100% happy about that as after Aliens it had a comical look to it (I'm talking Alien 3 and Resurrection).

I don't want to say anything else for fear of getting close to any spoiler territory.

Big  O0 O0 O0 O0 from me.

^NICE.

So it's on par with Prometheus? 

Pass.

Well - some people just can't be taught taste

Hey now. I admire your model making skills :P

I am looking forward to this. Watching Alien tonight in it's honor and just played through another 75 minutes of Alien: Isolation.

Having read and heard a bunch of reviews now, both positive and negative, my impression is that this would be a great movie and a great transition between the Prometheus and Alien stories, if only (like Prometheus) it didn't require repeated aggressive idiocy by the characters to advance the plot. (Plus at least one galactically massive plot coincidence at the start.)

That's pretty much the sense I have too. I'll watch it at some point, but I'm not going to bother with a theater viewing.

[JasonPratt]

A theater viewing, paradoxically, might be the best way to watch it, since then the artistic spectacle of everything will look more evident.  O0

On the small screen, the plot will plot you.

[mirth]

Considering how epically disappointed I was with my theater viewing of Prometheus, I'm going to sit this one out. I don't need to see a bunch of space explorers being profoundly stupid again.

[Gusington]

I do.
