man did they screw up the last half of covenant.  they could have made it totally bad ass.   such a shame.   :'(

It would be stupid to make the same move twice or (three times if you include alien 3) to have the Daniels and Tennesse killed at the beginning of the next film, if there is a next film. While the prequels are inferior in my opinion, I would still like some resolution as cliffhangers suck.
Always finish what you start I say.

Shame they decided to explore the engineers IMO. Just like with the "The Thing" prequel, they explained things which, yes, you will always wonder about but which, ultimately, are just best unexplained, left to our imagination. "Things unknown and unknowable", as HPL would say.

What did The Thing prequel explain exactly?

I hope disney give scott a chance to conclude what he begun. It would be a real shame if disney just kill the prequel series without proper endgame.

I think the prequels in time will be looked at much much more kindly. Nothing's perfect but overall they are quality made films despite what wannabe Colonial marines or HP Lovecraft fans bleat. It was always such a tall order to satisfy everyone. When Ridley gets round to making directors cuts like some of the great fancuts out there they will be not classics but worthy of their place high up the franchise
They definitely will. The ending of Covenant with David regurgitating his hidden facehugger embryos to Wagner's music is one of the most beautiful scenes in cinema I have and will ever see.

As to where the third movie might go, f**k knows. Ridley has said a few random things, but nothing is definite until a script is made. They have a pretty open playing field, with David going somewhere with his ship full of colonists, the Engineers yet having to find out what happened to their world, Weyland -Yutani possibly doing stuff too...

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Apr 24, 2018, 11:19:48 PMPre-production on Alien: Covenant 2 was reportedly supposed to start in the Summer of 2017 but was cancelled following the disappointing Box Office results of Alien: Covenant.

It's still in post-production on Imdb.
Not sure if that means anything.

You mean pre-production? If it was in post-production it would be almost done. IMDb isn't a very reliable source anyway.

Anyway, Scott is "knee-deep" in pre-production on Queen and Country at the moment, so it's going to be a while before he gets back to Covenant 2 if ever.

Yeah, pre-production  :laugh:

I'm just thinking that if it's cancelled, they would change it. Time will tell.

We may well get Scott's last film, but there is no chance it goes into any kind of production until the Disney deal is done, so 2019 at the earliest for pre-production.

And I pray that Scott doesn't get to finish it. Disney should go grab Neil instead and gives us a proper Alien movie. Scott has lost his touch. :-[

Oh and whoever wrote the scripts should be stoned. More plot/logic holes than a block of swiss. "Cinerama Sins" on YouTube went on a rampage with Prometheus and Covenant. Someone lock this franchise up before anymore idiots can do even more harm.

Read somewhere Fox was still gonna do a non-Alien related movie before the deal is done. But that'd probably something cheaper and less risky business wise.

Who says Neill will make a good film?

Cinemasins mostly consists of meaningless dumb critisism and shouldn't be taken seriously.

I'm glad random internet people are not in charge.  :P

Yes but there was clearly massive contradictions to what went before in the original films. So it's not dumb criticism, it's incredibly valid actually. The fact of the matter is covenant underperformed critically as well as commercially. If some people enjoyed the film good for them, but I think for a lot of us, we were severely disappointed with the final product. Even without bad scripts , the execution was still poor, and answering questions with questions only takes us so far before we start to switch of.

Someone make sure this franchise is kept away from anyone who puts any value on CinemasSins.

Lots of people... and that makes it true.  Don't be contrarian.
