Alien covenant

we'll never get closure because ridley scott has no idea what he's actually trying to say with these movies.

The first, second, and third alien movies feature truckers, meatheads, and prisoners. The new series features trained "scientists" who act like teenagers who have accidentally found themselves in space with a mission.

>scientists

The crew were all hicks who had to run a ship and the people frozen were the scientists and colonists.

you didnt pay attention much to the movie it seems

Same reason people hated The Last Jedi or Beauty and the Beast. They have bad taste. Alien Covenant is better than Aliens.

I'm tired of movies being made to answer questions which were better left unanswered. The alien being a mysterious creature which the crew of the Nostromo stumbled upon in the dark reaches of the galaxy? Fuck that, some big blue road rage dude made them and also Jesus lmao.

i wouldnt go so far to say its better than aliens. But its the best alien movie SINCE aliens

its very good. Has all the elements that make the alien movie great. Shipkino , monster kino , gun kino , medical kino , science kino.

its a fucking great movie

>disregards the plot points of the last movie to have yet another incompetent crew killed by xenomorphs
truely the last Jedi of the alien series

it wasnt even a "mysterious creature" in the first movie.

the company knew about it. They sent them there to get it.

>it was designed by a human AI over years and years
>Something that fucking owns from a creative standpoint
Highly debatable. Makes the universe of the films feel much smaller and removes the "alien" unknowable aspect if the xenomorph was a creation of our creation all along

>incompetent crew

They did better than the other ones. The ship clearing part at the end put aliens and alien 3 to shame.

They BEHAVE like hicks, but even Space Bound and Dumb was a very competent pilot and everyone else seemed to know exactly what to do when the plot needed explanation. The characters were given important jobs to establish a colony but the plot demanded they be retards. It's disingenuous and cheap writing.

Is this bait?

Why are all the biodroids middle aged dudes? Why the FUCK wouldn't weyland make them into hot sexbots? Or maybe they did, and that's how they can afford to send huge ships into space just for fun. Come to think of it, maybe the sexbots+cybernetic wombs are what caused all these colonists to have to leave earth....

>was a creation of our creation.

but it wasnt. It was a biological weapon designed by the "engineers" to wipe out planets. Then autistic AI with daddy issues decides to create his own perfect life form as a hobby while stranded on a rock.

the concept owns when you think about how it fucks shit up in the future.

It was mysterious to us the viewer, and it worked better that way. We didn't need an answer to what it was.

Well shit, when you put it that way, none of the Alien movies are about an alien, they're all about a corporation.

And Predator wasn't about a Predator, it was about a former friend of a mercenary lying to him....

And Halloween wasn't about Michael Myers, it was about a couple girls babysitting....

No they ARE hicks. If you did even a little bit of reading about the first alien movie lore they all went to fucking astroneering community college and had been working professionals for years.

>the alien movies are about a corporation

yes thats exactly what the movies are about. There isnt a single alien movie that isnt about weyland yutani's weapons program save for prometheus

I hate prometheus and AC, but I do like David being the designer of the xeno. It makes Ash recognizing it as a perfect creation all the more meaningful. Ash as a fellow android noticing the perfection of it, and it being created by technically his ancestor was pretty cool.

I love Alien saga and i loved Covenant.

My only regret is that there wasnt any sex scene with the jewish soldierfu.

fuck thank you , somebody gets it

>likely the best "a unrestricted learning ai is fucking dangerous" movie ever made.
Are you going to defend alien covenant > 2001 ITT?

A) don't bring expanded fanfic books into the equation when trying to justify what's in the film

B) if they went to astroengineering community college and were working professionals, then why didn't they act like it. Tennessee risking then entire operation and 4000 lives because he says his wife sounds scared is bullshit. That's not professional.

every day.

2001 a space cranky AI isnt comparable to a bored autistic android marooned on planet he personally genocided spending time cross breeding a bioweapon into his own artful perfect organism

I unironically think this movie is better than 2001 in showing just how dangerous AI as a concept is

Well the iconic xenomorph associated with the films is in fact a product of David's genetic experimentation. The original black goo bioweapon is somehow less terrifying to me personally than the xenomorph. Maybe this is up to the individual but don't like how it shrinks the universe to have David as the xenomorph's creator.

>this didnt sound professional

it wasnt the military. Like i said. They were space truckers/colonists. The concept that a newly promoted captain would not engage in something like that is stupid. If you want to complain about something complain about the fact that danny mcbride was cast in an alien movie.

>David creates the xenomorphs years after the events of Prometheus
>In Prometheus we see a fully fledged xenomorph depicted on the walls
which one is it shills?

Drama that happens because people are stupid and careless isn't exciting. The first Alien is great because it's a bunch of smart people in a bad situation with one of their number undermining them.

In this it's people slipping around and blowing themselves up. Then a lady who knows there's an evil duplicate of her robot, but doesn't seem to care when just one comes back.

It's a waste of time.

the whole alien series is one giant gore porno with scifi themes

>that shower scene
>that necropolis bathroom scene
yeah no thanks, I am not Satanic bruh

I started figuring David created them while watching Prometheus the first time. There were so many 'creation' themes in that movie, plus xenomorphs look like they are have robotic anyway, with all their weird wiring looks and those exhaust pipes on the back.

It also makes Weyland-Yutani's autistic need for the xenos make a little more sense. I mean,
>alien
FAILED
>aliens
FAILED HARD
>alien 3
FAILED AND WERE SO CLOSE
>resurrection
DUMPSTER FIRE OF AN ATTEMPT

If their reasoning was because their creation created them, they need it, then I guess I understand.

>alien is great because its a bunch of smart people

what? did we watch the same movie?

>how come the lady didnt notice the robot
because the robot masked his voice and imitated the other one as well as chopped his arm off.

my best guess:

the xenomorph look is a natural progress in the black goo-face hugger-egg cycle, but it's random and not necessarily always guaranteed to make a viable or even competent organism. David tinkering around and creating a violent creature whose soul purpose is to propagate is his contribution.

This is how I would have fixed it so that they wouldn't have seem so incompetent.

>The movie goes as planned, on till the point they touch down.
>David sees them touching down, at this point we only see him as a shadowy figure.
>There is no Xeno spores laying around, David surprises the guy smoking with a dart by the time the Captain's wife gets to him. He's knocked out and delirious from the goo inside him so he can't say what happened.
>The guy at the crashed ship doesn't get infected.
>They bring him to the ship, all hell breaks loose with the Neomorph breaking out. They call the rest of the landing party back for help.
>David sabotages the landing ship. The girls manage to get the Neomorph off the ship.
>Pilot chick freaks out, tries to take the ship off the ground but explodes because of the sabotage.
>The rest of the landing party arrives as the ship explodes, and the Neomorph running through the brush.
>The Neomorph lunges on the guy that would have been infected on the crashed ship, puts a baby on him. Gets killed by David to the rescue.
>David takes them to the Necropolis, the crew trusts him because he saved them and they want answers and a way out.
>The rest of the movie can proceed as normal. But we get a reveal that David was the one that sabotaged them and got the crew infected. Have the guy that got an embryo from the Neomorph die and have them pull out a Xenomorph egg from his stomach. The egg has a facehuggers, gets attached to the Captain and boom we get the Xenomorph.

If they made it so David was the one pulling the strings, manipulating and sabotaging them while using the crew as his test subjects it would have been much better. Would have made the characters seem less incompetent.

the only legit stupid people in Alien were the guy looking for the cat, and that shrill chick. All the rest die doing things that fit their character

>dallas dies trying to find and kill it
>Bonus Situation dies fighting it and trying to save shrill chick
>Shrill Chick dies from being too shrill and freezes up
>Cat Guy dies like an idiot but he was an idiot

In AC,
>Captain Christ dies following a robot into a dank basement and sticks his head into an obvious trap even though he JUST pulled his gun on him and called him the devil
>The rest just get mindlessly slaughtered and it doesn't matter because they were just alien food from the beginning.

I personally think Alien 3 is the best, because Ripley does the ultimate sacrifice at the end. It's also depressing as fuck as there's never any hope to get out of there.
But that's just me, apparently.
Besides that I'd rate 2 above 1, then avp2 because I actually had fun watching it.
All the rest is trash. Covenant is even worse than trash. Worse part is characters. It's almost as if director doesn't know what human beings are anymore.

No those are unironically the only good disney movies ever made besides pirates 1, otherwise disney is shit

>Alien Covenant is better than Aliens.
Seppuku, right now.

I liked Prometheus and thought Covenant was ok.

Don't like the engineers. The original space jokey as some weird huge alien perhaps should've remained a mystery.

The characters do dumb shit when they should be a lot smarter about things.e.g. they don't protect themselves from atmosphere on alien planet (taking helmets off in Prometheus, not even bothering in covenant)

I can't remember if they explained why Rapeface would ever trust David enough to give him a body. Or did he fix himself?

I liked when the alien fucked shit up in the ending scene. But I don't get what Ridley was going for with the switcheroo reveal since it was so obvious.

in its defense, its not Requiem

Neither Prometheus nor AC are canon. Both are garbage but AC is just terrible.

>lol humans are useless fucktards
>except for all this human-made literature and music and art I keep masturbating over

There is no reason to believe that a robot would value art or beauty. A completely optimized system is unlikely to factor in past times and pleasure. If you were writing a computer program, would you add functions that cause it to stall, terminate, eat up computational power, or conflict with it's own code? Or would you write one that does exactly as intended with no waste?

Prometheus shouldn't have been an Alien movie. There was literally no reason for it to be and all the parts that tie it into the franchise feel tacked on. Reminds me of 10 Cloverfield Lane being a great movie but being let down by stupid tacked on bullshit to tie it to the original Cloverfield. Prometheus wasn't perfect by any means but I still really like it for trying to tackle themes like the origin and meaning of man and not even doing it too badly, for a blockbuster movie. Then Covenant came along and shit on everything Prometheus set up, except for David. Covenant is a mediocre 5/10 horror movie but the David parts alone make it worth watching and make me interested in the final movie of the prequel trilogy.

So, David was pretending to like music the whole time?

Just because he likes music doesn't mean he's going to incorporate it into the creation of a species he wants to be better than humans.

>These creatures will be better than humanity in every way. Vicious killers, beautiful defense mechanism, able to survive most hostile environments, can impregnate almost any organism, and they can play a mad flute.

For all we know, he likes music for it's compositional qualities, and views the xenomorph he created as his version of music.

i loved it and dont care what stupid Aliens fans will say.

>>I'll do the fingering

The communication argument is retarded. No species except for humans with apes has EVER had cross species communication. Also they have been shown to communicate like ants which is far more efficient.
Human's are hilariously inefficient. We need technology because without it we are helpless.

absolute bollocks, the distress echo triggered the emergency stop of the journey. the company policy of investigation was responsible, but at no point is it implied that they are there on purpose

Attached: 1527696842166.jpg (465x700, 77K)

This movie and Prometheus failed at adding a crew of memorable and likeable characters like the crew in Alien. The way the crews get infected is very stupid compared to Alien as well. In Alien it's understandable because they're manipulated by WY into altering their course and when things go wrong they endanger themselves because they're saving a comrade. In Covenant and Prometheus the crew gets into their situation through sheer stupidity, removing masks or throwing out years of research and preparation for their colony mission to alter course last minute. They also wasted James Franco in some stupid accident at the beginning and should have included that youtube character development prequel in the actual movie. Aside from all this after the first 30/40mins this movie is pretty enjoyable. If they just made the crew smaller and developed them more and made the beginning less stupid it would be a great movie.

and who activated the distress echo?

No they never. The ship stopped because of an unknown signal. They literally say that it's company orders to investigate unknown signals.

God I wish this would happen. I wonder what will happen to Alien now that Disney owns Fox

I didn't see Alien Covenant because Prometheus was one of the worst films I've ever seen and I've watched a lot of B movies and Troma films to put that in perspective. Alien and Aliens were kino but everything else has been such cancer that I'm honestly stunned the franchise still has fans.

It's probably Ridley Scott himself, slamming away at the keyboard in tears.
You should've retired twenty years ago, Scott.

"investigate unknown signals"

but mother literally tells ripley the entire thing was planned from the start

dont fuck with me

Right but the issue is when he was given his special order. Before the journey started or en route after suspicious signal was intercepted and possibly decoded? If it was before then yes Weyland Yutani knew about the location of the derelict and the entire mission was a ploy. If during then it could have just been decision made on the fly. Writers exploited this ambiguity in the prequels and made it explicit that humans had run across the xenomorphs earlier and that Weyland already knows a great deal about them

dude wheat lmao

The only digital movie I've ever purchased was this movie for $17 on Amazon Prime, and it was because the Alien trilogy fandom was a major part of my childhood I was so excited it was out and wanted to support the franchise no matter the cost. I was disappointed.

Me banging yer mum was planned from the start

Nice try, but Villeneuve is booked for like the next 4 years at least for the two Dune movies

Covenant is just Prometheus again but will all the same problems that film had turned up to 11.
Maybe it would have been watchable if it at least looked the part but the CGI xenos are trash. Hilariously the only scene in the film where the CGI monsters were hidden darkness well enough to not be distractingly bad was the tacky as fuck shower kill scene that belongs in a straight to video slasher flick not an alien film.

literally no one went into this movie wanting less Engineer storyline and more David the Poofter Cyborg storyline, but that's what fuckstick Ridley Scott gave us. And everything about the storyline we got was fucking dumb and predictable.

Absolute shitter of a film and I have no faith Ridley will ever pull his head out of his ass and make anything good of this franchise again.

Whole series went to shit with the space jockey reveal in Prometheus. I could have written a better nuAlien trilogy in my sleep. I can't believe that senile old fart Ridley made so many gross errors. Come the fuck at me faggot cocksucker

The most unforgivable part was not having Noomi around for three movies as the new Ripley. The Alien movies always need a female lead for prime kino. Seriously FUCK RIDLEY

And fuck, the cast in Prometheus was amazing. And in Covenant we got some faggots and that retard McBride. LOL RIDLEY WHAT THE FUCK YOU STRUCK GOLD WITH THE ENGINEERS STORYLINE AND YOU P-I-S-S-E-D IT AWAY MOTHERFUCKER.

Are the engineers wiped out now? Were they all confined to the Covenant planet or was their civilization spread out to multiple planets and systems?

David nuked them all in a short movie, it's on YouTube.

It was absolutely incredible
in the sense that it was the biggest clusterfuck of this decade after what happened with Star Wars. The only good part was the ending.

The company wasn’t even around in that last one

It's still a valuable property with some potential but smart move may be to let it rest until 50th anniversary in 2029

Man, I didn't remember the xeno looking THAT bad. I didn't really care by the time it showed up since the rest of the movie was plenty frustrating.

Fuck that, give me the reins I'll get Noomi back.

Disney better let Fox do a final part of the sequel trilogy the fucking capeshit loving fucks

Attached: 22032019_03-466x700.jpg (466x700, 26K)

I'm not really sure Fox was gonna let Ridley finish it anyway on their own. Covenant was seen as a disappointment. Maybe if the budget was slashed significantly. But don't think Disney will kill the franchise permanently. There's still a fanbase out there. Might just need to wait a bit and inject new blood and new vision, meaning without Ridley

But i could be wrong and Disney may want to let Ridley finish his trilogy first then let it rest for eventual remake or reboot

Ridley's vision was actually okay. It was a fresh new direction for a franchise that had previously been focused on people running from giant bug monsters. I'll never forgive him for botching the execution so badly that no future installments in the franchise will ever try experimenting like that again.

I agree, I liked it. I just wish Rapace was in it more, she was great in Prometheus.

Did they really can the sequel? Leaving it open like this is going to annoy me.

Covenant made a small profit but I think they were expected a huge return based on the IP name alone. They could have got that with Prometheus if they made it an Alien film and didn't fuck it up. That's why Prometheus was so successful at the box office. The buzz of a Ridley Scott Alien prequel was huge. Covenant just got released around the remake frenzy in Hollywood so casual audiences didn't know what the fuck was what.

Really hoping the new sequel will finally have a tame/good Xenomorph for once. Like Blue in Jurassic Park series. A Xenomorph companion/pet/whatever of the main character who saves the day from the enemy Xenomorphs.

the xonomorphs are a terraforming tool designed to destroy any megafauna that survive the initial black goo bombardment. they're bio-robots with no ecology of their own whose sole purpose is to destroy the very lifeforms they need to reproduce until they and their hosts die off and leave the planet sterile for the Engineers. if you tamed one it would just be a killbot with no personality, not even Blue's animal quirks.

You dodged a huge bullet. I honestly felt insulted by how bad Covenant was.

Please explain what we plebs "don't get", because thread after thread we dismantle the pathetic attempts at defending this movie. What aren't we getting?

>tfw you enjoyed both Prometheus and Covenant because they're wildly different from the original Alien movies
Prometheus and Covenant might follow the same linear path as far as a movie goes but there is a lot more going on than just the surface level shit.
Scott is off doing his own thing and sort of dipping his toes into the creation of the xenos but there are a lot of human aspects that are intriguing in both of these movies.
That being said, I thought that the way that Shaw was killed off-screen was stupid, the humans could be smarter, and the CGI could be better in some areas.
If this thread is still up later I might try and write up some shit in more detail regarding why I like both of these movies.

It's a Masonic movie, starring & written for Freemasons. The movie is all in code, like Kubrick, and telegraphs the political narrative of the next few years. Spoiler: the political doppelganger kills the upcoming female president. Don't worry, you're going to be put to sleep in your pod too. All of you except us Masons.

Both these movies were made to show cuck prn to all ages and types of people. Prove me wrong. Everything produced by hollywood has a political purpose.

I like Prometheus better. Alien Covenant was disappointing because the engineer world scene was so brief in flashback

The 20th century established a pantheon of brand names and franchises. We will now use that pantheon going forward into the future rather than ever invent anything new ever again. Some franchises in the pantheon might rise and fall in prominence over the years as individual movies succeed or fail, but the franchises themselves are all going to persist indefinitely. Because they are gods, and gods never die.

It felt overall weak and not nearly enough story. It also kept a lot of the generic horror/ sci fi weaknesses that those kinds of movies tend to have where everyone is mentally retarded. But the android drama was kino.

Ah, I see. Hollywood wants me to kill myself. Well, it's not going to work.

ahahahahaha is this real? The women slip around on blood and shoot the ceiling? Is Covenant a slapstick scifi movie?

I think the idea is that the Engineers were the original creators of the Xenomorph, but eventually realized their error and set out to completely destroy it as a means of repentance (hence the mural, which acts as a reminder of their hubris). That's why they wanted to wipe us out, because our DNA is an essential ingredient in creating the Xenomorphs. No humans = no Xenomorphs.

At least, that's what I THINK they were going with...

How about instead of a bio weapon, it’s just an alien? The first movie got it right, Ridley Scott is just trying to explain shit no one ever asked about, just like JK fucking Rowling

yes, and that black guy is jussie smollett. unknown then....

It's typical scooby doo horror movie. Bunch of teens in a house with a monster. Boo!
But it does not matter, you can make a great movie with any shitty premise, see original Alien. But there is nothing great about this particular movie. Sci-fi elements are just there to be there, screaming teenagers are called scientists to sound cool etc. No memorable characters, no cool moments or quotes to be quoted. It has no soul.

>all it does it complicate the lore
It's interesting to see that xeno were made by people through hands of rebelled android made by humans. Humans bring this upon themselves. It was also interesting plot mechanic with introduction of engineers being the race which created humans. I was hoping to get more answers about engineers in Covenant though... It's certainly more interesting than "bo ho I am MYSTERY ALIEN from different planet I DO KILL WITH MUH ACID SPIT".

He's right

Covenant what?

There where only two Alien movies.

>the entire post is nothing but forced contrarianism and buzzwords
Stop trying so hard, it's embarassing

This. Scott and the studio bending a knee to the obnoxious "mo' aksun!44 audience" whose enjoyment factor revolve around big CGI monsters being stuffed right into their face was a huge warning sign to begin with. Personally, I have little to no hope for the next one.

There won't be a next one. He's 81, he won't last long.

Here's one reason: the xenos have a very efficient way of contaminating everything in sight with spores: David "perfects" it by making it way more complicated and lengthy.

Also: the movie feels like 3 failed movies in one. It has a sci-fi side, a horror side, an exploration side, and none of these aspects get done properly in the end.

I don't get how a veteran pro like Ridley failed to get the basics right. How is it possible? Is everyone inept in Hollywood?

user, if there's anything the historical remake / reboot wave taught (or should have thought) even for those who have any illusions left about Hollywood is that no IP is sacred or off the table. Do your IP carry even a tiny value in some circles? Congrats, that's free hype compared to a new, fresh one.

No offence, but if you think at least the trilogy won't be closed with Scott or over his dead body, I have a bridge to sell you. And that's the bare minimum, the franchise can be (and will be) milked a lot more than that. Personally, I think Scott himself will want to make a 3rd, massively hyped ending.
