ALIEN Convenant

[Fake Messiah]

I'm not particularly looking forward to this new film... from the trailers I've seen of it. It looks too similar to the first one, so yeah, I would've hoped they'd try something new.

Sure, the movie is a turd but still sort of mindless fun. It's kind of like straight to DVD movie. And let's rant about it: I seem to realize that I didn't like "Prometheus" not because it seems to me as stretched last 20 mins of "Tommyknockers" but because Scott didn't have any fun in it. While "C" is very derivative Scott did find some fun in some scenes like when Katherine Waterston is waking up. She is in the freezer and it starts shaking and then waking up, it looked interesting and I was under impression that Katherine Waterston had more interesting presence then all of the other actors in "P". I remember how Theron was boring and useless (like a decoration for a movie) and I remember thinking in that scene where she is sitting on the couch how Scott probably spent more time picking that couch and pillows on it then on the script. Plus there was more action in this because it seems they concluded that the "mysterious" part of "C" didn't work.

in that it has scenes from the original Alien film (such as the massive dead creature in a chair) that were never explained in the first one, but which make sense in light of this one (or they did when I watched it last... I've completely forgotten now what all that was about ).

To be honest "Prometheus" didn't make any sense to me and in "Covenant" it seems they distanced themselves from it as much as they could and to be honest if I bother to think more about "Covenant" I would probably conclude that it didn't make much sense especially for AvP movies and that it turned Alien movies into Battlestar Galactica.
