Meh.
David is fun I guess but overall it's just another shitty Alien flick where stupid people do stupid things.

Fassbender squared
you tell me

Bad script.
Good Fassbender.
Great visuals.

You could do a lot worse. I liked the costumes and scenery.

It's a shittier Alien remake, not a Prometheus sequel. With that said some of the scenes are alright but the characters are dumb as fuck

Only if you like Fassbender

These. It's mediocre, but it's fun if you turn your brain off.

I loved Prometheus, but I thought this one was literal garbage.
Still worth a watch if you're into Alien universe, just keep your expectations low

Nope.

It's "Fassbender the robot is behind everything" oh and "here's some Aliens, I guess you want those"

It's a swell time

Yes it is, its actually a robot drama with pet xenomorph as a side dish, Don't get into the meme that new ridley scott movies are bad, this is a phrase parroted only by braindead redditlettermedia drones.
Ridley been improving at every new movie and his only flaw is to listen to watch memba dis millenials wanted and spoiling his own movie ending.

This is a great movie with a deformed ending, but still great overall, go see it.

sums up prometheus too

michael "I'll do the fingering" fassbender is pretty great in it. it's not as bad as people make it out to be

nope.

>Great visuals.
Not really, the aliens look worse than the xenomorphs from the 70s/80s

Are the characters hateable and are their deaths enjoyable? Also does Franco die?

it's alright, it ruins the Alien's mystery though

>Are the characters hateable
Yes. There's plenty of 'why would you do that?' moments just like in prometheus

>are their deaths enjoyable?
i'd say so

>Also does Franco die?
Yes, within the first few minutes

It's pretty bad, I wouldn't waste my time on it.

Wow thanks I'll watch it. I could only stand Prometheus because of the shitty characters dying horrible deaths

It's pretty underrated. Great performances, some cool ideas and typically stellar Ridley visuals and production work. When it turns into a gothic Hammer horror film in the middle act it's absolutely based. I just wish it didn't turn into an Alien film for the last act.

It's worth it for the Medbay sequence and David but overall it's pretty bland.

> When it turns into a gothic Hammer horror film in the middle act it's absolutely based.

Come to my castle in this thunderstorm and I'll fop around and quote Romantic poets and show you my impeccable but disturbing artwork and say cryptic flowery vaguely sexually threatening things to you and maybe I'll take you down to the basement to show your my crude scientific laboratory where I channel my God complex to create horrific blasphemous abominations against God and nature.

Dumb as fuck. No fear from the creatures, only easy gore and blood. The final twist is so easy to anticipate it's embarassing.
Only Fassbender is decent. I think he's actually terrifying. The other terrifying thing is the stupidity of the crew.

just dropped it a few minutes ago. it's fucking garbage. yet more retards entering an alien planet with no protection and touching everything in sight only this time there's swearing and blood! somehow looked worse than prometheus too.

Not really. It could have been a great monster movie or a great artificial lifeform and his human creators but it's just a bland mix of the two.
The rescue by Aragorn Fassbender in a cape was so cliché I burst out laughing. The only bad part of the movie. The rest was just bland. It's not even about muh surprises and subverstion or even muh camerawork. It was just... bland. Like some tired but skilled guy doing a half-ass job of putting a movie together.

Heh I found Prometheus interesting. I didn't really care about the characters, except Elisabeth and David, but the movie itself gave a lot of options of reflexion, imo.
I had a lot of fun finding explanations to what people called "plot holes".

Pretty much this. Wish Fox didn't force the xeno to show up at the end because those last 20mins are just silly fan service. Gimmie Rapey Franken Fassy all day long.

Still dumb characters but I give these a pass, 'cause they have absolutely no clue what's going on around them.

It's basically ridley remaking prometheus and alien without the charm and charisma of the cast of the former.

Promet had good ideas behind it and it makes the movie more interesting than it actually is.
I mean, it's a movie where Charlize theroon gets killed in a way that's straigt out of the fucking Looney Tunes ffs!!
But that ending with the 2 going in the ship made my imagination sparkle... only for it to die a horrible death when I watched Covenant.

>love me some space movie shit that isn't fantasy or capeshit
>watching Covenant
>fantasy castle out of LOTR
>Fassie in a cape
...

It was straight up Gothic horror just as this user said.

Nothing fantasy about it

This is accurate.and its a good thing

I'd never thought of it like that. thanks for the insight user

An Alien in an Alien sequel, that's crazy.

This is my problem. This shouldn't have been an alien sequel (prequel whatever). Scott obviously had no interest in that part and just wanted to tell a story about Fassbender the android, which is fine and all but screws over anyone hoping for an Alien movie.

Scott is also a senile fuck, who interpreted the Prometheus dislike for no xenomorph = bad movie. He didn't want to understand that the script was bad, so he went with even worse script for Covenant and added some xenos.

"Now they'll like it!"

Wrong, dumbass.

Now he's saying the reason Covenant bombed was because of the R rating. No, Ridley, it bombed because about 50-60% of the people who went to see Prometheus, disliked it, and didn't want to see Covenant in theaters.

Prometheus only did so much money because it was Ridley Scott, making an Alien prequel.

only plebs care about those autistic details
Ridley Scott doesn't give a fuck, he cares about life, death, creation, and putting up fantastic visuals

I'll never not be mad that they canned Prometheus 2 and the engineer home planet to give us another incompetent space crew being killed by a Xenomorph
killing shaw off screen was bullshit too

>script was bad
>prometheus was bad

WRONG

prometheus was his best movie.

It looked more like a nightmare version of LOTR than Hammer Horror.

This was sad.

This and the villain winning at the end put a smile on my face.

Lol Ridley was already in his mid 60's and had secured his Oscars and status as a legend (including a comeback with Gladiator) when LotR was released. Knowing what a grouch he is and how little he gives a shit I seriously doubt he even saw them let alone was influenced by them.

It's a frustrating film in that it is a mixture of really great parts and really bad parts.

The entire final act lets it down the most. It's like in the last 20 minutes they tried to shoehorn in what should have been the follow up movie.

The detail that went into the set designs is pretty amazing if you watch the behind the scenes videos. Great OST based off of Alien, great Fassbender (like Prometheus), some good acting overall, great yet underutilised sets due to trying to cram too much into one film.

The film should have finished on the beautiful chestburster shot that David oversees

>movie full of characters acting like morons with a script full of unresolved plot points that were supposed to segue into the sequel but were just dropped completely because Lindelof is a hack is Scott's best movie

Skip any scene that doesn't have david or walter.

>Knowing what a grouch he is and how little he gives a shit I seriously doubt he even saw them let alone was influenced by them
Its not like he ruined KOH with casting legolegs as the lead or anything.

Chad Walter or Virgin David?
Cool Dude or Autistic Tantrum Baby?
Level headead with emotional control or edgy tryhard with daddy issues?
What are you?

Agreed, if nothing else, Ridley did a phenomenal job with the world building in Prometheus and Covenant.

>prometheus was his best movie.

KOH: DC

It's overall a pretty mediocre movie but with some really great instances of brilliance thrown in. The scenes maybe half an hour in when the two dudes first get infected up until the shuttle blows up are intense as fuck. Prometheus was the same, the first deaths and the part where the main lady performs surgery on herself really recreate that atmosphere Alien tried to go for. the only horror movies I've ever liked.

youtu.be/wK8kK4hY6PA
NO

Fuck no. It's like Prometheus with none of the redeeming quantities.

>The scenes maybe half an hour in when the two dudes first get infected up until the shuttle blows up are intense as fuck

Agreed. Also the attack in the wheat field was fucking awesome, even though it only lasted about 30 seconds.

I am biased to sci fi horror and aliens movies, but if you get really high its really good. i enjoyed it.
I enjoyed Prometheus more then this one though.

probably because they're CGI cartoons now

I liked it :3

Shit seriously? I was looking forward to the engineer homeworld. That's what I was holding out for :/

i guess so.
it's a well made movie with good visuals and great atmosphere wherein every character is fucking retarded except the android and they do the worst thing possible when given a choice.
the first thing they do after disaster strikes is ALTER THEIR FUCKING COURSE FOR NO REASON. Then some fucking retard blows up the landing ship. Then they fly the colony ship, filled with hundreds of sleeping colonists, into a fucking hurricane to save 5 people
utterly retarded. Bad movie overall.

>unknown insect like lifeform, scary to think of

>take the best and most horrifying monster design in cinema history and make it into a leddit mey mey

>teh robots made teh aliums xD

>teh big alien human made us and also he made the xenomorph from goo heheh..

>2deep4u

Literally killed the franchise

I put off watching it for a long time because expected it to be prometheus tier garbage but it turned out to be fairly decent movie.

>Wish Fox didn't force the xeno to show up at the end because those last 20mins are just silly fan service
It was Ridley's idea to have an extra ending to mirror the original Alien.

Ridley gets waaay too much credit for the original Alien.

some parts are entertaining
but some parts are really frustrating because of how stupid the characters are

Not really. He was responsible for a lot of what made the original great. Listen to his commentary track its really informative.
Of course not enough good things can be said about the cast, the set design, the score and sound design, and the flawless editing.

i liked it. its schlocky fun.
