Have you seen the movie?
No, but that doesn't make a difference.

Actually it does. We're discussing something you know nothing about, which is pointless.
Nothing? The entire movie has been the subject of discussion for weeks, now. I've known the plot for months! I have better things to do than argue about something so incredibly stupid. The burden of proof is on you to prove that a movie called Alien: Covenant by Ridley Scott is not an Alien movie, but I'm content to let you be believe whatever you want. I just know for a fact that your criticism of Kermode is irrational and foolishly thought pointing it out would cause you to reassess. Oops! Lol.

I can't read this article until I see the movie, but I thought I'd post it for the people that have.

For some reason this makes me happy. I'm reminded of Heart of Darkness meets Frankenstein. Two of my favorite books.


I certainly prefer it to the whole "Space Jockeys created it as no more than equipment to be used", as opposed to "I studied their ways and created the perfect organism!" OMFG I'M SO EXCITED I WANNA CRY. Lmao. Ridley is awesome.

I'll have to see the film to confirm if the idea works or not. Maybe Ridley should've taken the mad robot storyline and used that for the Blade Runner sequel.

I think so (I haven't seen it, but I like it). Think "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov (since you mentioned authors), wherein humanity seeks the secrets of the universe through technology. Eventually, they end up pouring all of their resources into creating this perfect machine/supercomputer to try to figure out the meaning of life. Eventually, humanity has all been absorbed into a "superconsciousness" of sorts, and they find out that the processing power that the interdimensional machine that they have created requires all of the consiousness of life to power itself to find out the question, and so the superconsciousness organism combines itself with the machine, and the machine says "Let there be light!" and reboots the universe...

I've never read any Asimov. I actually just ordered a collection with The Last Question being included in it. It's funny one review described Covenant as a Asimov meets David Cronenberg.

Callie Hernandez has a very lovely face. Does she have much a role in the final film?

Denton Smalls

Cole looks like a badass in the film, shooting at the facehugger and whatnot. Is he cool in the movie?

Yeah, he is. I watched his interview with Jimmy Kimmel and he seemed very nice and outgoing.

Here's an article from Digital Spy that's says Covenant is one long apology for Prometheus.

They were just promotional fun. Nothing from the film.
