Alien: Covenant Early Reactions

[newagescamartist]

the franchise only took off thanks to the bigger sequel, thats a fact, after that it all went downhill.

Ok...

If Aliens never happened and wasnt made, do you think that would made a difference to the franchise, do you think we still would have sequels to this day?

What does this have to do with Covenant?

You can just read back, and there you have the answer, you quoted me so you probably showed interest in that comment i made.

It surprises me that there only positive to gushing first impressions yet still arguing going on in the thread. Understand the passion but can we just be content that we have a good legit Alien movie that looks like it can stand alongside the first two? I personally am very happy right now.

Infected thinks you're lying to yourself. Stop being happy! It's not right! Because Infected is not happy!

Just thinking ... I thought you said people stop watching Alien after the jockey scene. There isn't even a jockey scene in Aliens, is there?

How was the finished CGI?

Just come out of it.
If not gruesome action flooding the screen, it's mysterious conversations filling the gaps.

Some issues, but need to rewatch to see if any still still stick out.

*They cut out one very advertised shot, which was a surprise.

Oh I hope it's not the bombing scene 

Nope

Alien jumping in the corridor or Weyland scene?

Sadly you are correct, the corridor pounce, one of my favourite shots.

Oh no! I loved that shot.

Absolutely.

LOOOL thats a big f**kin lie.
Alien 3 came after Alien, it would have ended, big time!

Seriously. Especially considering what a sad, weird death march the leadup to Prometheus's release was after the first early reactions leaked. I'm glad to have some good news for a change.

I'm pretty sure there would have been other sequels if Aliens hadn't been made. We'd just have one less great film.

Perhaps it's more productive to focus on the news that initial reaction to Alien: Covenant seems predominately positive?

How was the finished CGI?

Spoiler

Backbuster scene was improved upon and a lot better than the 10 minute footage shown in theatres. The neomorphs actually looked more real than the Xeno to me.

Where would you rank it in the Alien and Prometheus pantheon?

Ouch with that small impression. Hope it's just an outlier.

A mix between both Alien and Prometheus, a lot more of a sequel to Prom than you'd think.

[echobbase79]

Nice. I'm glad I haven't watched that scene then.

Thanks.
