Alien: Covenant Early Reactions

[Cheeseburgers]

As it stands, I'd say about 6/7. That said I never really trust my first impressions so we'll see after I have chance to think about it (and see it again. Which I will be.)

Yeah I'm like that too, will probably need to see it a second time.

Ive always found seeing a movie youre so hyped for the first time, doesn't really sink in right away. And typically when you watch it again it feels more like you are watching the movie, stress free, if that makes sense

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.

How they are handled in terms of lore/origins or do you mean fx etc?

Yeah I especially find myself doing that with Star Wars films.

Hicks is it the portrayal of the Aliens you disliked or something to do with their origins? I don't know if you'd be saying too much by revealing that so no worries if you can't. Just worried the Aliens may not act like Aliens but more like dinosaurs.

Not just their origins. It's like Ridley or Logan or Dante or whoever forgot to go and rewatch Alien.

So they've gone the dumb animal route then?

I'm not talking in terms of how it's portrayed in that regards. Sorry to be so cryptic but I can't go into more. It's something I know bothered HuDa and I imagine it's something that'll really bother a lot of you.

Was it like Rogue One were some stuff wasn't in the trailers, or was everything accounted for, and was there a surprise they didn't reveal in them??

Okay, that bothers me. 

[Evanus]

Well that sucks. 

Can you tell if we learn anything new about the engineers or the black goo?

Thats surely by design, Ridley doesn't repeat himself

Hmmm my mind is racing with whacked out ideas of what you mean. Aliens driving space cars?

Im more concerned with Ridleys "dont let it breathe" choppy editing though.
