Alien: Covenant Early Reactions

[Xeno_from_Belgium]

Thanks Syntaxx! do you want to rewatch it ?
I want to know if the score (i listened it and i loved it a lot) in the film was good too with the movie of course. And finally did you feel something in the movie, from an emotional point of view with certain characters? thanks again

Good question.

The thing is ... why didn't they call it Prometheus - Covenant?
From a marketing perspective, yes, the reinvigorated the Alien franchise. Again, Covenant is a welcome addition to the Alien franchise and a vast improvement over Prometheus.

I can't go into details about the Xenomorph just yet, but I have no doubt that the outcome of Covenant will be great to some and disappointing to others.

Great for those who liked Prometheus or hated it?

In general, to be honest.
Some will like it, some won't.

Let me state that Alien Covenant is much closer to the original Alien/Aliens in terms of feeling and setting. Because of this, some fans might become upset or pleased by certain outcomes that are depicted in Covenant (damn, that was a tough one to answer).

The score was good. It did it's job well. Although, lets face it guys ... nothing beats the original! 

And yes, I'll watch it again when it gets released here. That's for sure. There's tons of stuff I might've overlooked.
And sorry, can't talk about characters in detail. There were plenty of "ooooo" and "holy shit" moments, that I can answer.

Knew what?   

[Enoch]

Knew what?   

Still not sure... Perhaps I will truly know after I see the movie  
I know that I know nothing...


P.S. Those pale guys always looked different from the ones in Prometheus...

thanks for answering Syntax! sounds very promising while you still couldn't give us definite answers.

SyntaX, besides what we've seen in trailers and official released footage, to what degree is there a Giger-esque influence? As far as bio-mechanical things go.

The only good thing we got out of AVP:R was the Predalien.

YES!  YES!  YES!  YES!  YES!  YES!  YES!

The Predalien was more or less the only thing about the movie that was any good.  I guess 'ALIEN: Covenant' is substantially better than 'AvP-R'.  Looking forward to seeing this soon.

Much ... MUCH better than Alien 3 and Alien Ressurection.

The only problem I had with Covenant is that it doesn't feel "new". Making something feel "new" is a hard thing to do considering everything has been covered before. We all know the Xenomorph. The only thing that remains a mystery is it's origin. And by that I mean, it's TRUE origin.

Thanks for your comments and giving us your impressions without spoiling anything  Exactly the type of comments I was hoping to find. I am hopeful there are still some mysteries left to be explored in further films.

The Giger influence is present in Alien Covenant.
That being said, the Xenomorph = Giger. But we all know there's other ... "things" ... besides the Xeno.

Sorry Dardooder, can't go into specifics just yet. I'm sure you are able to answer your own questions after viewing the tv-spots and trailers though

Thanks man! That's good to hear.

Can you tell us anything regarding the fate of Shaw? I realize that may be too much to ask.

Spoiler

The mystery of the Xenomorph and it's origin should've remained a mystery though

Can't say much more.
