It's definitely sold me a ticket as someone who wanted to know how Prometheus continues. What I get from all of this is Spoiler When they get to the planet it's all full of xenomorphs. Also, never go to sleep in space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antovolk Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Just got back from my double-bill - we had Prometheus first, then Alien, then two scenes from Covenant followed by that 'prologue' posted above. (btw it's kinda funny - UK chains hyping up that you can't see the prologue anywhere else, then Fox release it online minutes before the screenings begin :lol:) as for the Covenant footage - looks rather awesome, basically delivering what everyone has been asking for post-Prometheus. Lots of blood, gore, f-bombs, McBride is awesome, and that backbuster sequence (we got to see the full scene) is epic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of blood, gore, f-bombs I'm sorry, but this is not what I've been asking for. I've been asking for dark, big, epic sci-fi movie with big themes in the vein of Prometheus and good Alien movies. Blood/gore/f-bombs is a natural part of the process, not the main goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if this "only" opens in the 40's, Memorial Day will prevent it from missing 100M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Just seen the prologue. So Aryan psycho bot aka David unleashes the black goo pods onto the Engineers planet to wipe them out and creates de facto the "Neomorph" evolving into the xenomorph as we know it that the Alien Covenant's crew will encounter a decade later. Engineer creates Man. Man creates the Android. Android creates the Alien. The Alien kills them all. Ok, sure. Pass.

Epic for me means grand in scope. Alien movies might have been many things but never grand in scope. It was always about a bunch of people in a rather confined space being eaten by xenomorphs. Dunno about "big themes" either. "Don't mess with the xenomorphs" maybe (hubris of men), and the "company" is bad.

There is rumors that it didn't achieve to make a approved cut in China. I have no clear idea on how it will do, Prometheus did show that the Scott/Alien movie brand was still extremely strong 5 year's ago, but is it still true today ? Maybe it will not as good and giant business like is 400m in 2012 performance (specially without china), but I still expect it to do really well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 37 minutes ago, WrathOfHan said: Who's to say this won't be? The marketing and Ridley Scott himself? On set he told people from joblo "they want aliens? I'll give them fucking aliens". That prologue is going to be the closest thing we get to a Prometheus sequel. Covenant is going to be about everyone's favorite dong monsters with their dong shaped heads and killer dong tongues killing unsuspecting people in dark corridors like the first four movies. I'll see it because I'm not gonna pass up a Riddler sci-fi like most people, but he certainly is caving and giving Alien fans what they were expecting last time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Continuing the threads laid out in Prometheus and aliens gruesomly decimating people is not mutually exclusive. What even is a "proper Prometheus sequel"? A film starring the same main characters?
