Alien: Covenant (2017)

Not seen it so I don't know if all the negative reviews I'm hearing are deserved.  One for DVD home viewing, I think, and then only when its cheap. Until then; feel free to share your thoughts and reviews in the comment's below.

  2. i was on Perry Rhodan convention in germany
    allot of visitor had watch Alien: Covenant premier on Thursday before and ALL hated the Movie
    there critic points:

    -were bad Acting and zero characterization in persons, more or less "red shirt" situation.
    -were Prometheus lack of Answers, Covenant give the ones, you not want hear at all !
    -for a Sci-fi Horror Movie it lack astonishing of suspense and "give the creeps" moments mostly.!

    i wait until it show up in pay TV, with it's disappointing Box office results
    that will happen faster as Normal...

  3. I didn't care for Prometheus but I enjoyed the bits of the story that were 'inspired by' the HP Lovecraft mythos. Alien: Covenant is a lot better, though still has those similar problems of a smart story played out by mostly stupid characters. Worth a watch, especially for the first 40 mins or so.

  4. I loved it but although it is a squeal to prometheus it is a lot better then that film. It does have some different type of aliens in it which is nice but I was thrilled to see the classic return. There is little to no character development on the crew though. There is more character development on the promo scenes they released prior to the film.
