[Taxemic]

I thought the score was great too.

"A failure but an interesting failure" -----Spot on and beautifully said, my friend

Thanks.

Maybe in the future, PROMETHEUS is going to be rediscovered like BLADE RUNNER.

I don't know anymore.

Now thats how you do an Alien movie,  i thought it was totally brilliant. 

Over the years i have been one of Prometheus's harshest critics but Alien covenant was such a relief that they pulled it off. 

Yes there are faults and one dissapointment was the cut scenes of the Alien,  what happened to the red corridor,  where was the scene with Mother "its 4 feet above you"?    We have to remember the incredibly high standards by which we are judging this film,  Alien & Aliens are freaks of cinema,  films like that will never be achieved ever again 10 out of 10's.  But Covenant easily gains a healthy 8/10.

Best scene of the film has to be the birth of the main Xeno,  the way it and David stand looking at each other, wonderful stuff.

Personally I'd rate them...

1. Aliens (10/10)
2. Alien 3 (8/10)
3. Prometheus (7.5/10)
4. Alien Covenant (3/10)
5. Alien (3/10)
6. Alien Resurrection (3/10)
7. AvP (1/10)
8. AvP:R (0/10)

Yes, I know I'm weird for hating the original. But I saw Aliens and Alien 3 before I saw Alien and found it dull and dated after seeing the other two. Would definitely have appreciated it more if I had seen it at release I'm sure.

Strange rankings. I love how different everyone's taste is.

Which is why the opinions here are largely academic, although interesting, and don't really reflect the reality (only our own reality of course).

That's how I felt. I think there was a collective cringe in the cinema I was in over that shite

[juxtapose]

awesome!

I'm surprised​ by some of the hate for Covenant in this thread. Covenant had its problems but overall its a half decent Alien/Prometheus flix... Look on the bright side kids? Think of the worst case scenario? We could all be ultimate Terminator Fans and live and breath Terminator 24/7 and all we have had in the last 20years is Terminator 3, Sarah Conner Chronicles, Salvation and that God awful Terminator genisys to cry over and moan about. Just think of them poor bastards. 

The only way to get the films you want is to reject those that regard you as a mindless consumer of junk. Unless, of course, you are a mindless consumer of junk, in which case you'll be delighted.

Thats the point my 'willing the film to get better' ran out, I think. There were lots of laughs, FFS's, tuts and facepalms going on where I was.

"Hello Mr David!! Screeeeeee!!"

Or simply refrain from supporting endless franchises, sequels, geek communities/culture... and instead, support new films/drama etc. We're all sucking on the same teet...

Haha at least I was enjoying the film thoroughly to that point. Would've been even worse if I wasn't and then that was the icing on the turd cake (had even suspended my disbelief on Orams about turn after calling David the devil and then 180 turn 'oh actually I might trust you after all you old rascal, lead me to my death')
