Problem was, was that I predicted 250-300M Domestic for the movie and it barely scratched a 100M Domestic, maybe less, if I'm not mistaken.. I ultimately was banned from RT because of this.. LOL!! I trolled like no other back in 2004 at RT.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJsHfa4QwwE when i saw the above trailer i thought the same as you. Now i just shake my head at mine and the films stupidity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Watched it on early screening. Ridley made 100% his personal movie, like it or not. Overall I liked it. I would say audience reactions will be very mixed, even more mixed than Prometheus. Audience reaction at my screening was mixed. There are some really weird story decisions and scenes, and questionable plot twists, especially in the third act. In some places it transforms into dark comedy and self-parody, like Ridley knew he can't scare an audience, so he decided to make them laugh. It's not a huge improvement over Prometheus like some people claim, I'm not sure if there's any improvement over Prometheus at all. Well, I liked Prometheus and I think I liked it more than Covenant. But everyone will decided for themselves when they watch it if it's better or not. Edited May 7, 2017 by Firepower 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigausorus Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 The budget is only $ 111M. Should be profitable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Prometheus was goofy because you had smart people behaving like drunk college students at a frat party. Cat calling an alien species? Really? Trying to pet it like a dog? Really? But that still doesn't keep me out of the theater to see this one. It looks fun, hopefully Scott delivers.

Firepower Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) There are some completely insane moments in Covenant, more insane than the most questionable moments in Prometheus. Prometheus' tone was stable. In Covenant it changes from serious to comedy. I'm not sure if audience digs it, but looks like critics mostly dig it. It's also big F..k You to Prometheus ending and those who liked Prometheus. Edited May 7, 2017 by Firepower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 PROMETHEUS was a mess, but I still enjoyed it, mostly for the visuals and for the last 40 minutes or so. So if COVENANT is along similar lines, I probably won't love it but it'll still be entertaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) I some interviews, Scott says he could do 3 or 4 more Alien movies and that they have a big story arc mapped out with the writers. Edited May 7, 2017 by The Futurist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
