K1stpierre Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Just got home after seeing this, will post a more in depth review later when I have all my thoughts together. For now, all I'll say is that it's definitely nowhere Alien or Aliens, but at the same time it's not as bad as Alien 4 or Prometheus. It's def in the middle where it has some good parts and things going for it, but then at times can be frustrating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesypoofs Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I know it doesn't mean much but I've been hearing good things on Facebook about this from people who have seen advanced screenings. I'm sure it's exaggerated, but someone said "best alien movie yet". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I can't say it's factually incorrect if that's his opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookson Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) I enjoyed the film but... one of biggest things I feel Ridley Scott is trying to show us is how you get the perfect alien...the Xenomorph. There's been a lot of different ways to get a alien, in Prometheus and Covenant. In Covenant we finally see it, but are we to assume Walter figured out how? How did he know you need a facehugger in the egg? This is where is disconnected and feel like I missed something.

dxmatrixdt Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 did Australia do 3 Million or 4 Million OW. The official number seems to be 3, but I keep seeing other things that say it is 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klingo Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Finished watching this movie at IMAX. Was pretty much disappointed. Good acting but the story wasn't as good and the first half the movie was boring and slow. Felt like hour and a half of slow. Some few good action scenes. Ridley Scott says he is making a interquel as he called it explaining what happened before Covenant and after Prometheus, I would kill him myself! At least make the next sequel after Covenant! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Spoiler Just got back. It really is Prometheus 2. Dumb characters and really bad decision making. One early twist makes you think the movie might be interesting, but it still manages to be dumb. Eh. (Non-spoiler very brief four sentence reaction to the movie above) Edited May 19, 2017 by Travod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobSaibot Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Saw it. Was excited for it. Expected an Alien movie. Got "Prometheus 2.0" instead. Most disappointing release of the year so far. Ridley Scott is out of touch with the franchise that he gave a spark of life to. Let it die. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theStun Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Just got out give this like a 6.5/10 had some great sequences but the whole film just felt really blah to me and left far more questions then it answered. I think it is time for Scott to hand the franchise over to someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
