Finally got around to seeing this and fuck me, I thought you guys were overstating how bad it was. I found myself consciously wondering throughout the film whether I was supposed to give a fuck about the deaths of any of the crew -in fact the one sweet taste it left in my mouth was that David won and they all died, which now has me wondering whether the two-dimensional characters were intentional after all and Scott is actually secretly a psychological genius. Might be reaching there.

Does anyone have anything good to say about this disappointment?

Why was the only shot of the Space Jockeys showing them as primitive looking folk who gather in excitement because a flying banana turd?

>>86211610

I just accepted going in that it would be shit and went for morbid curiosity. For the record, Alien is my favorite film and I am an Alien 3 detractor. I only see these flicks anymore to stay hip to the culture, and I divorce them from my favorite film psychologically.

The crew were equally as stupid and "vibrant" as that in prometheus, so those two flicks are identical in that sense. This flick is Prometheus' companion in the sense that their (proper, act one and two) crews are equally worthless, ugly and forgettable, in favor of what other stuff is going on /elsewhere/. Specifically the droids (david and his lawful good clone), the engineer people, etc. The prime-age humans are totally uninteresting in these movies, and we only care about the robots, the aliens, the decrepit (if at all). Both crews also do incredibly stupid shit like exposing themselves to alien environments "just 'cos".

that said, I know the art history of Alien, and so I was very gratified that Ridley inserted a very clear reference to Bocklin's "Isle of the Dead" painting" in this film. Even the abomination in the OP is ever-closer to Francis Bacon's original vision from his Triptych, which Giger expressly cited as a direct influence on the chestburster idea.

Apart from these little ego-strokes for me, yeah, the film is forgettable and shit. One thing I remember really liking from Prometheus was the intensity of the "emergency abortion" scene (a nice reply to the male oral rape of the original), but then the energy of the scene just gets snuffed out by her stupidly stumbling into le old mane, oh le whoops, now le real mission. Bad transition IIRC.

I also seem to recall a good 4-5 hackneyed references to earlier films, specifically in terms of line delivery: "blow this fucker off into space!".

>>
>>86212357
>Why did they force the twist down your throat with a shot to David grabbing a knife?

Ridley obviously wanted to leave you thinking throughout the action sequence wether it would be a twist or a red herring, I don't understand how people don't get this.
You're completely right about the rest though, and I'd add
>Why did they go without helmets the moment they stepped off the ship in a completely unknown environment?
>>
I thought the plot was rather weird. That the Xenomorphs were created by David. I never imagined that that was how they came to be. Other than David though a lot of the characters were very boring! It was like Michael Fassbender was carrying the whole film on his shoulders. The so called Androids had more life than the humans. Though Daisy Ridley gave an awesome performance in this film though.
>>
>>86214363
Fassbender is amazing. David and Walter feel so different
Even you didn't know what David did in prometheus you could tell that he was fucked up
>>
>>86211610
I wanted this movie to focus more on the aliens themselves and the crew trying to survive. Instead we got another story about ethics, morals, God complexes and the meaning of life and evolution.

Fuck this shit I wanted to see scary tension like in the old movies but instead we got some Sci-Fi Action garbage with muh ethics as the main subplot.
>>
>>86212243
Doesn't he use a "David-something" code to get into the embryo cryo room at the very end?

For that at least I just assumed David backdoored all the Weyland systems years ago and since the ship is made by them it's all the same root systems.
>>
>>86211610

Why couldn't Prometheus just be a cool series of movies about the Androids in the universe of Alien but with no connection outside the time periods and Waylan.
>>
>- Bluray talks about the engineers trying to repent for their great sin of creation, so the destruction of earth was a huge deal and the ship that was to do this returning would be an event of religious significance.

This is the kind of shit that needs to be IN THE FILM and not on some fucking blue ray disc I'll never watch, because the film made no sense
>>
So why did David kill the Dr. from Prometheus his travel buddy?
>says he feels love towards her
>knows she saved his life and reassembled him

Did they get to the engineer homeworld and David just decides suddenly that all sentient life is shit, not just humans; so he nukes the engineers and kills her when she resists?

Does he kill her en route to the engi world because despite whatever he feels for her she's still human and has to die?

Does he obliterate the homeworld with the goo and fake the crash all while keeping her in the dark about what actually happened?

Why vivisect her remains? Am I to infer from the "classic" alien eggs in the basement that David repurposed her eggs via his weird goo breeding program?

He says to Ripley 3 in this movie that he's been "waiting for mother" - is the idea to get a queen alien bred? Or was his plan to actually alien rape her and see what would happen if she gave birth to the weird fucks?

Like this whole thing was a mess but it ironically could've used more exposition
>>
>>86214765
i think there's an extra scene where he says that she didn't want to join him or something
>>
>>86214814
Join him in the genocide or the experimenting with Evil goo life or the living on the engineer world forever?

What I hate about this movie is that it's actually 3 movies.

Kinda me. I thought that this was stupid, but in the end I started thinking that did it on purpose to escape from those morons
>>
It's one of those movies where it feels like I could have farted out a better script, and I have never written a screenplay in my life.

That part where the main chick pulls aside the captain and says "I don't think going down to the planet is a good idea" felt so utterly forced and out of character, like it was put in there to fulfill a quota.

Her character should have the biggest motivation to explore the mysterious planet, seeing as how her husband had just died and her previous plans had fallen through.

I could see this working but there is absolutely no indication that this is what happening and even a fucking genius would not come to this conclusion by just watching the movies. It failed completely to deliver that point so it just looks like the engineers are a bunch of retards.


Also the general idea of prequels like this is stupid in the first place. You know that it's guaranteed everyone will die in the end since nobody really knew about the xenomorphs existing in Alien 1 other than the corporation kind of having an idea of what is going on. As if you need even less incentive to care about the bland characters.
>>
>>86212357
>How does this connect to Alien?

these were supposed to be answered in the 2 planned pre-quels.

but FOX has put the Alien franchise on hold after the Box Office debut of Covenant.

basically you're going to have to wait probably 10 to 15 years for another try at a Alien movie,again.

t-thanks Scott

i really felt they should just stuck with the Prometheus storyline. then moved on to a Alien movie. all this movie did was make Prometheus look great. i did think Prometheus was decent. i wanted to learn more about the Engineers and what Shaw had planned and stuff.

>sails
>>
>>86215574
They're some sci-fi shit to gather energy.
They just look like sails.
>>
>>86215560
The idea that a spacecraft that massive could utilize sails that gigantic and never expect any sort of incident (like the one that occurs 5 seconds later) just got me very annoyed. Especially when it's implied that's the way it collects a lot of its energy. There's no way a ship like this gets designed and built.

The film then went on and just became even more retarded once the humans woke up.
>>
>>86215602
solar energy and yes normal sails also work kind like that. You cannot power interstellar ship with a solar power
>>
>>86215481
How much time passes between Covenant and Alien? They need to place the new David xenomorps on LV-426, including a queen that has to shit the eggs they find in the crashed spaceship in Alien.
>>
>>86215659
It wasn't solar energy, they said something about netrons.
The accident occurs because a neutron collision or something like that.

Even then, saying that "solar energy" (or any kind of energy source, since it isn't actually solar) isn't enough to power the ship isn't really an argument that can stand by itself since we know jack about the efficiency of the systems aboard. Simply put, this is a soft sci-fi movie, don't expect in-depth scientific dissertations.
>>
>>86215481
Yeah the problem they have now is both Prometheus and Covenant are pretty trash *but* if they can stick it out and give Scott one more, the interesting parts of the narrative arc can be salvaged and the whole thing (sort of) redeemed.

They shouldn't have given him another shot after Prometheus. But now that Covenant happened it'll be even worse to not at least attempt to wrap this whole David arc up.

"Classic" zenos are his creation, fine, whatever. Just get a jockey ship filled with eggs crashed on LV for ripley to find and fuck off. Maybe someone else will actually bother with the engineers properly next time.
>>
>>86215723
>isn't enough to power the ship isn't really an argument that can stand by itself since we know jack about the efficiency of the systems aboard.
unless its a magic you just cannot do this. Also during during such journeys you cannot stop. Alien from 1979 was smart enough not to touch upon this topic. But nooo lets show some fucking sails. We will be the cool ones
>>
>>86212357
>Why would you follow some cloaked stranger just because he fires a flare and scares away the monsters?
This one is valid, they were getting killed by a rabid minime rat that came out of their friend's mouth.
Anyone would go with the cloaked man.

>Why was the only shot of the Space Jockeys showing them as primitive looking folk who gather in excitement because a flying banana turd?
Maybe they were not the Jockeys, maybe they were like us, another failed experiment made by the engineers and they thought their makers were coming back for them.

The only interesting part of the movie was Davids whole speel about creation and his geneitic engineering. Whilst I don't think it should have been the origin of the Xenomorph, it was kinda interesting. Specially with what he did to Shaw and what he is going to do to the colonists, they are literally swinging from meat hooks.

David gets his hands on ANOTHER alien ship.
Fills it up with alien pods.
Flies to yet another star system.

Ridley seems to have read Prometheus' reviews and got the wrong idea. Like with Prometheus he set out to make an origin story, not another film in the Alien franchise. BUT he couldn't help throwing a few hat tips (to himself) in there, and when die hard Alien fans complained that it shit on every reference to the space jockey and used xenos in a retarded way, he thought, "So, they want more xeno and less engineer." and skipped over what was obviously going to be a lead-on storyline to basically create Alien 5, but with enough ties to Prometheus not to break the timeline (ironically obliterating the original one).

What he should have done was treat Prometheus more like its own film and not xeno it up so much out of fear that people wouldn't watch it for what it was, THEN have courage in his convictions and made Prometheus 2 instead of Alien: Covenant and raped it with CGI because he was more concerned about appealing to a wide, action loving audience rather than putting out a quality film that may have made less money but added to the franchise and gave the die hards what they needed. Ridley is an insecure old man who keeps shooting himself in the foot by trying to do what he THINKS people want. I've no doubt the studio didn't help matter, ether.

I think that you are putting more thought into this than ridley scott.

what most likely happened is:

scott lucks into a directorial role of a fluke film that combines old school writing talent / 70s drug art futurism

scott makes other movies for years, some good, some bad. his head goes up his ass

he returns to "his" alien. only, it's success had little to do with him. so he tries to be a creative genius, and turns out to be a mediocre but well-connected rubber stamp

hence, prometheus / covenant are shit and bland

>why was everyone so stupid and incompetent?


>Go ahead and have a look. It's perfectly safe.

>HURR OKAY LET ME STICK MY FACE IN THIS GIANT MUTATED PULSATING EGG...WHAT COULD GO WRONG

If he killed everything on the planet then how did he find subjects to experiment on? We see that he has sketches drawn of insects.
He may have killed every engineer but not every living thing.
>>
>I saw the devil when I was a child
What did he mean by this?
>>
Walter was the only good thing about this shit movie.
>>
>>86225419
He was religious so probably diddled by a priest
>>
>>86225132

maybe you are right, but I don't necessarily thinks is an audience disconnect.

he does some things well, but that doesn't mean he will do all things well.

good science fiction is hard to do well, and in both blade runner and alien he worked on a foundation laid by others, both foundations being very strong.

but with these movies... eeeeeh

maaaaybe studio interference, but the two new alien films are too stupid to be by design. it feels like something is disconnected, because visually they are fine

so, I think source material must be rotten
>>
>>86216924
Same here.

At least Covenant was entertaining.
>>
>>86225339
Naked Gun is better than any Alien movie.
>>
>>86225369

But he says it killed all life on the planet

ALL LIFE
>>
>>86225427
The CGI aliens. CGI lets them show just how insanely deadly a Xenomorph is supposed to be.
>>
>>86225517
He also says "Shaw died in the crash", David is not a reliable source for information.
>>
>Guy gets random space virus
>Better bring him back to the ship so he can infect everything

These people are scientists
>>
>>86225528
>CGI lets them show just how insanely deadly a Xenomorph is supposed to be.
Aw gee because no movie before managed to do this with practical effects, I loved seeing that stupid cg housecat xeno claw and scratch that bitch to death so insanely deadly!
>>
>>86225599
Compare the xenos from Alien/Aliens to the ones in Covenant and tell me which ones look more dangerous?
Alien/Aliens are much better films but the draw back to practical xenos is that they can only move like a person can.
>>
>>86214884
that is such a strange effect
>>
>>86214929
that is annoying sequence to watch
did they really think that looked good? Constant flickering, the same shots every few seconds, same sound effects
>>
>>86225419
You know religious people, they're all idiots.
>>
>>86225665
>Compare the xenos from Alien/Aliens to the ones in Covenant and tell me which ones look more dangerous?
the one that's REAL and can be interacted with in real life, not a fucking image on screen, you dipshit
>>
>>86225954
None of them are real you cock gargling troglodyte.
>>
>>86214929
This information really should've been in the movie
>>
>>86225419

He saw the alien when he was a child, the real alien, the one not created by David
>>
>>86214929

Why wasnt this in the movie?
>>
>>86215730
I thought it was a prehistoric crash site?

AYY?

Kenny Powers in Space would have been a better direction for the script to take.
>>
>>86218478
>>86218527

How did they go from the huge white fuckers from Prometheus to this? Is there a caste system where the militaristic engineers are different looking? Even the fuckers during the intro of Prometheus look different and they were priests.
>>
>pro-David
why am i not surprised?
>>
>>86214929
>David is going to make an alien queen from Daniels' body

Ahaha Ridley finally admitting Jim had the better ideas
>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK8kK4hY6PA
this movie was retarded and if you like it more than prometheus it's time to kys
>>
>>86226433
What if I hated both because they're both complete dogshit?
>>
So what the fuck is the next film even going to be about?
>>
>>86226635
Apparently between Prometheus and Covenant. I imagine more of the same.
>>
>>86226450
you're a pleb too.
prometheus was a good film
>>
>>86225591

>DUDE let go to a random planet bustling with flora and water with absolutely no protection against pathogens!!! lmao!

None of this shit would have happened if they wore hazmat suits or something like reasonable people. There's no justifying this. At least they had guns!!
>>
>>86215942
No it isn't you pretentious dipshit. Aside from one or two iconic scenes the thing just sags all over the place.
>>
>>86211610

>Does anyone have anything good to say about this disappointment?

Very little.

>Main actress was a qt
>Fassbender was great for what he had to work with
>Gore was pretty good
>Absolutely loved the title shot and music
>>
>>86218418
you forgot that at some point, there is one Engineer getting aboard the later crashing ship, because we see one of them sitting in the pilots chair. He also must have at some point got preggo with a xeno.
>>
>>86217005
I like how no one mentions that the entire point of the fourth movie is to do the unthinkable and blend human dna with alien dna. Like, apparently all the breeding shit David was into didn't matter or some nonsense.

Scott is just crazy and old and people give him money because they don't want him to feel bad.
>>
>>86222734
wait, whats that from?
>>
>>86226851
>DUUUDE, lets fucking WALK on a unknown planet to check a signal instead of doing a quick flyover to assess the situation
>>
>>86227049
short from the bluray of David explaining to Weyland-Yutani what happened to Shaw and that he's only got one thing left to perfect which is his Queen (Daniels)
>>
>>86211610
These movies are really more about what if, taking ideas but ignoring the actual movie. You just have to learn to accept movies are usually trash and stop looking for that life changing kino. You should be reading books instead.
>>
>>86227385
>>These movies are really more about what if

That would be fine but that's not what Covenant does at all. Covenant pretty explicitly states "This is what happened. This is why I did it. Fuck humans. Just fuck all humans".

It didn't raise any ideas at all. There was no hope or other questions to be asked. We all know what comes next now.

I'd say Prometheus did raise a lot of those what if questions, but Covenant had no desire to deal with any of those and we go down another tired retread of robots that hate humans.
>>
Is it just me or is the Neomorph way better than the Xeno in this movie? I mean the Xeno's require an egg and some dumbass to get facehugged, with the neomorph you can get fucked up just by spores in the air.
>>
>>86226016
Engineers?
>>
>>86226320
so far it looks like engineers created us and gave life to this entire earth, and they do it often. that is one of their offpsring plantes who are only related to them, a middle thing between. smaller than them but still taller than us, not as pale white etc
>>
>>86214992
No because I didn't even know that was him.

It boggles my mind how they ommitted an entire scene, a scene that would've served as the only character building scene for the entire crew, and put it on youtube as like essential prior viewing for the fucking movie
>>
>>86225665
>compare the xeno that got wrecked by a nobody inside a few minutes to the smooth, silent, practically unstoppable killing machine in Alien
I know whose arse I'd rather tickle.
>>
>>86211685
what movie have you seen anon
>>
>>86227778
Yes, seems like neomorphs are the more potent weapon

Not to mention the xeno jumps right into the claw at the end to be crushed like an idiot
>>
>>86211798
not a twist, man, seriously not a twist
>>
>>86212357
why you peole are not able to enjoy the nice things for fuck sake
