Alien: Covenant Early Reactions

[Imbrie]

I'm going to ask again, as my original question wasn't answered, but I'd like to know if the ending of Covenant plots the direction that the next film (might) make?

[GrimmVision]

When is the q&a with Scott?

Tomorrow. 

But how (on a scale from 1 (bad) to 10) will you rate the movie?

It's currently sitting around 6/7 mark for me but I'd like to go see it again to digest it better.

I'll take 6/7! I thourougly enjoyed Prometheus, flaws aside, so I'm happy to know many people believe Covenant to be better than it. I'm hoping it'll break my nostalgic love for the original trilogy and bump 'Aliens' to the 4th spot on my favorites list.

What's your reasoning for using 7 stars as a rating base, as opposed to 5 or 10 stars, Hicks?

I'm pretty sure Hicks means a 6-7 out of 10, not 6 out of 7.

i second this question. Note though that it probably hasn't been answered Bc of the embargo

I'll tell you Sunday (for me, anyway).

Don't s'pose you can confirm whether you think Life or Covenant is better through your eyes, Corporal? I remember sharing the same thoughts as you on Life.

I think I liked Covenant more but maybe just. I intend on buying them both though. I really want to watch Covenant again to pick up on more of it.

lol if only hicks did mean 6 out of 7

[Xenomorphine]

Fox care canon and continuty. Fox will not release Weyland-Yutani Report  and let Alien 5 happen if they don't care

If they think it'll make you spend money, they will.

They'll never force a director of a future film to read through comics, books and play games. They want them to get on with the task of making a film.

This is why it's safer just to assume anything but the films are just 'what if' ideas in their own little fenced-in bubble. They don't affect the films and never really will.

This is what I think possibly bothered HuDa and Hicks that contradicts the original film:

Spoiler

When the alien is born, it won't be the classic chestburster but a bambi-burster.

[close]

As some of you discovered in my recent report.

[GrimmVision]

Ohhhh

Eh, regardless, many are saying they enjoyed it more than Prometheus so I'm happy about that.

Is that really a problem though? Its a different incarnation of the creature. It will probably take certain variables to match the big chap as we know it

If this is actually the case, then it may have even been done on purpose to further push that this isn't the classic Alien creature and we've yet to arrive at that.

Lol, yeah. I can't decide between 6 or 7 out of 10.

I'm in no way asking for specifics, just a y or n. I don't want to be super spoiled.

Honestly I just think of it as neither a true Xeno or even a precursor, I believe David just read up on what the Engineers did and then created his own version.

They don't really care much about keeping to film continuity either really, AVP movies flew in the face of the previous films and  Resurrection went into an odd direction itself, Prometheus too to an extent.

[SuicideDoors]

Give it a 7 Corps, go on.

The xeno must have existed before since they find the fossilized space jockey, which must be thousands of years old.
