Gorgeous. Poster of the year? I'm glad to see there is finally something excellent happening in the marketing department.
Hi Proto!
The Poster is really impressive. But at the end, its a pure Xeno movie. All those trailers & teasers are simply promoting the bug and all we see is the traditional survival story in the midst of creatures attacking people. A few variations from Xenomorphs to Neomorphs and from Chestburster to Backburster are the only few innovative ideas it seems. A one step short-cut by having spores directly giving birth to a Neomorph and undermining the classical Xeno-lifecycle is something that's spinning off my head.
I remember I disagreed with you. You were right. Going by the spoiler leaks, Alien: Covenant is going away from that something which made the grand universe of 'Prometheus'. Its really disappointing.
I am not at all impressed with the costumes, spaceship designs & even the visuals. Just compare any A:C screenshots with screenshots of Prometheus. Prometheus was RICH. I mean, I can't even stand the costumes the Covenant crews are wearing and coming out of the drop ship, and with that hat Walter is wearing; all of them without helmets wandering in an uncharted planet. I mean, if Prometheus was ripped apart just because the crews removed their helmet inside the pyramid, I wonder would there be people bashing A:C for what it is? I am sure, there will be some reason established in the movie for the crews not deciding to wear helmets, but finally it will be just a ploy to have spores thing work!
Spoiler
David killing the Engineers/humans and getting obsessed with creating perfect killing machine and stuffs like that kind'a looks quite mediocre. David and Shaw are rich characters and some altogether different & exciting things could have thought about.
I am not having high expectations, which in one way is good, if the film turns out to a surprise and holds the DNA & quality of Prometheus.
