Alien: Covenant

This is one of Scott’s best-directed movies and one of his most entertaining overall, partly because he’s working in a genre, the science fiction spectacle, that he does better than anyone since Stanley Kubrick, but also because he seems to be approaching it almost entirely in terms of visceral impact and emotion—as symphony of fire and blood, poetry and schlock.

Scott still has a talent for lovely details... He's always used awe as a tool. Scott's art direction is so precise we assume he also obsessed over the script. Surely a spectacle like this has gotta mean something. Like the intelligent-design argument, his eye is too advanced to be an accident.

Alien: Covenant‘s bargain is good enough: come for the Fassbenders, stay for the nihilism and grotesquerie, and emerge with at least a few questions and curiosities on your mind.

The reason to look past the movie’s issues is Fassbender.

Sharper, meaner, and meatier than Prometheus, Covenant's weak narrative drive stalls its brutal good intentions.

We’re still essentially in the Land of Retread: An outer space voyage turns grisly-ghastly as gloppy, befanged creatures invade the crew’s innards and pop out – gotcha! – right on cue.

Presumably, Scott is giving the audience what it wants, but purists may wonder whether simply re-watching “Alien” would have provided scarier, more genuine jolts.

I have watch all the Alien Movies, please give us more maybe even a Series please!

Even the Finest Dish Grows Tiresome When Served Every Day.170723 (1.5)Even the most delicious dish becomes tiresome if eaten every single day. Directed by Ridley Scott, the 2017 sci-fi horror film "Alien: Covenant" serves as a sequel to "Prometheus" and the second prequel installment in the Alien franchise. The story follows the colonization ship USCSS Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy with thousands of colonists and embryos aboard. When a rogue transmission leads the crew to investigate an uncharted, seemingly habitable paradise, they discover a dark world harboring deadly fungal spores and the synthetic android David (Michael Fassbender), the sole survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition. As David's sinister genetic experiments and delusions of godhood come to light, the surviving crew members, led by terraforming expert Daniels (Katherine Waterston) and the newly integrated android Walter, are forced into a desperate fight for survival against horrific xenomorph creatures. Despite atmospheric production design, impressive visual effects, and Fassbender's compelling dual performance, the film relies heavily on repetitive franchise tropes, predictable plot devices, and familiar monster chases that dilute the original mystery and tension.

The most stupid Alien movie I have ever seen. I've seen them all. The level of idiocy is beyond all limits. Ridley wanted the new Star Wars but got Star Dementia.
