ALIEN: COVENANT (First Reactions from World Premiere)

Its my favorite movie of 2012.

Hope Solo is in the the movie!?!?

It really wasn't that bad though. It just had some head-scratching moments, and some mysteries left unanswered as it was a planned trilogy. The core of the script was fine.

Fair enough though. However, the complaints I always hear about it, have more to do with it flat out not being an "Alien film", and little nitpicks like a couple of dumb characters, and the most overblown complaint of them all, why Charlize Theron's character ran in a straight line.

It's one of the most over-criticized films of all time, and for the life of me, I'll never understand why. It's not a perfect film by any means, but people act like it up there with the Start Wars prequels in terms of shittiness, and it's just not even close to that level of bad. Disappointing given the expectations perhaps, but flat out terrible? No, I can't agree with that. For me "Prometheus" is on the same level as a movie like "Sunshine", as far as having some really dumb moments in a otherwise great film.

I would have liked it better if it was more true to the original Alien and wasn't so goddamned boring. Not only that, I just don't like the direction Ridley took it, plain and simple.

Pussy is pussy. I don't discriminate.

Looking forward to this, as I am running very low on scary spaceship movies.

Guy Pearce Returning to Play Peter Weyland for ALIEN: COVENANT

AVP Galaxy.net is reporting that Prometheus actor Guy Pearce is returning for Alien: Covenant as Peter Weyland, head of Weyland Industries. Obviously the format of Pearce's appearance will be different, as Weyland (the old man who stowed away aboard thePrometheus) was old, feeble and killed during the doomed expedition to the Engineers’ outpost.

According to AVPG.net, the moment of Weyland's appearance occurs at the beginning of Alien: Covenant, in which we witness the "birth" of Michael Fassbender's android character, David. The scene evolves into David playing music (Richard Wagner’s "Entrance of the Gods into Valhalla") while he and Weyland discuss the nature of gods, man, creation and the results of that creation.

It is indicated that this philosophical discussion will provide the framework for David's actions in Alien: Covenant, while helping to explain Weyland's motivation for launching the Prometheus mission in the first place.

Guy Pearce to Reprise His Role of Peter Weyland in Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant

Another common horror in space film. Booooring. Seen it ad infinitum. Develop the fresh trend. Give it an enterprising style. Noir set in the future and in space, under the umbrella of suspense. It is time.

Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant find what they believe to be an uncharted paradise. What the crew discover is a dark, dangerous world, whose sole inhabitant is the "synthetic" David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.

Directed by Ridley Scott, the film stars Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace and Guy Pearce, returning in their roles from Prometheus, with newcomers Katherine Waterston, Danny McBride, Demián Bichir and Billy Crudup. Alien: Covenant is scheduled to be released on May 19, 2017.

 

[cabear]

I'm in for this new alien movie!

 

[Pixelated Porn]

too bad that the people they need from the franchise are dead: Dan O'bannon, Giger, Moebius



"the crew of the colony ship Covenant find what they believe to be an uncharted paradise."
- i wonder what gave them THAT idea?

 

[TrueBias]

Hang on, hang on....

I was thinking Scotts Prometheus/Alien sequel/prequel was going to be about the engineers and that OTHER director was going to make an Alien sequel to Aliens, ignoring what came afterwards..
