Alien Covenant Review Roundup

People rapidly birthing chestbursters has always irritated me in EU canon and other sequels, etc. What was the duration on Kane from infection to birth? 12-24 hours? I always believed it was around that interval at least.

Does anyone recall where Ridley Scott said "they want Aliens? We'll give them the f**king Alien"? Would love to reference that in an article. Thank you

65 at Metacritic. Same score as Prometheus, but bound to go down as more reviews come out.

Why do you think it's bound to go down? I can't imagine it having worse scores than Prometheus..?

So again, it's the script I think we have to get use to that.

This board was savaging Prometheus much more quickly than AC. The RT score didn't plummet that much despite fan antipathy and I doubt it will here, as this film seems like much more of a crowdpleaser. (To be clear, I am not cheerleading AC)

The sped up life-cycle has always irritated me too, I mean it is barely plausible as it is with up to 26 hours, but AVP took that too far with 10 mins.
Hicks review basically reveals that Covenant went and pulled a Defiance, making it even worse.

Well the first alien movies were suspense movies, even Alien3.
Either Ridley dont trust himself so he just throws the alien on screen asap like D rated directors or he just doesnt care about the lore and tries to direct a totally different movie to a totally new age audiance.

Hence why I wonder if Prometheus and Covenant are actually set up to secretly be reboots rather than prequels.

I read people hating there is a gay couple on the ship or looking to a open egg....

This movies, including Alien, are not made for the actual world.

And i dont have problem with fast birth, there are diferent species.

Please make your own judment.

In the face of all the short gestation periods we frequently see, has anyone ever stopped to consider Scott's gestation period for the chestburster is the one that's incorrect? 

Personally, I don't think of it as a problem.  Gestations can vary.  Well, why not?
