This is the early reactions to Covenant thread and not the let's gripe about our gripes thread. I mean it's hard to get to the reactions in between all of the griping. Yes and I too, like to gripe myself but it has become annoying as hell.Now what is this "should've Shaw it coming" thing about? I figure the Alien is the real engineer and there will be 1 million aliens at the end of the movie.
Quote from: cucuchu on May 04, 2017, 10:30:54 PMFor anyone that has seen the film: How was score? A lot of us have heard much of the soundtrack but was it utilized well in the movie? The "main theme" listed piece (I believe it was Planet 4), had a lot of Goldsmith elements from Alien, so was there a lot of musical callbacks to Alien throughout the film?

Apparently the source of David's eggs is supposedly something obvious once you "connect the dots" in ALIEN and Prometheus.

It was a better experience than Prometheus (and the AvPs and Resurrection) but it wasn't pretending to be some lofty film. I loved the characters and the cast. Fassbender still rocks - as David and Walter. The film looks gorgeous as expected.However, it's brisk as f**k. This is Ridley chopping his film up like he did Prometheus. And the way the Alien's are handled...I wouldn't say it ruined the film for me but I'm surprised I didn't smash my face in with some facepalms. That's all I'll say until Saturday/Sunday when I can post my full review.
