Alien: Covenant is better than Soundgarden

[Rangi Guy]

Just watched this tonight and from the perspective of someone who isn’t a full-on xenomorph fanboy I thought it was great. Fassbender was the standout for sure. Would have preferred a non-cgi alien but it didn’t ruin anything for me overall.

I've enjoyed it on each watch, although I read that future instllments have been shelved

[dimejinky99]

I have no idea what the fuck is going on in here anymore.

I really liked this movie. Ridiculous yet dark--not what I was expecting at all. If/when there's another installment, I won't wait so long to see it.

I want to know more about the Engineers

The sequel is not happening right?

What a shame. I wanted the third movie.

[LoathedVermin72]

Is it not? That’s a real bummer. I loved what Scott is do If with these crazy movies.

[Orpheus]

The weird David shit is great. I need to watch it again, mostly for those parts.

Absolutely. It sucks to hear that the other 2 prequels won't be going ahead. Are there any novels that cover this stuff at least? I need to know about the Engineers!

[Rangi Guy]

Ever since going into this thread, I've been getting recommendations on YouTube to watch Alien Covenant videos.

[VinylGuy]

I like that video yeah. Covenant rules.

I hope Scott gets to do the sequel.

[LoathedVermin72]

Where are you guys hearing it’s not happening? Just assuming, or...?

[VinylGuy]

Yeah just assuming.
Scott wanted the new film to be out this year, and the box office of Covenant was not that good so...yeah, just assuming.

I just watched Alien 3 for the first time. Guys, I fucking hated it. Maybe it was just the particular rip I got, but I found the sound design to be atrocious. The mixing is all over the place. I also found many of the shots to be jarring and amateurish. Then there's the shitty writing. Ripley's character is weird as fuck. Bitterly disappointed after having my interest in the franchise rekindled recently by Covenant.

I'll be re-watching Resurrection next. I'm still on the fence about whether or not I want to touch the AvP movies.

[LoathedVermin72]

Which version of 3 did you watch? The “Assembly Cut” is waaaaaaaaay better than the theatrical version. Although if you had audio mixing issues, it might have been the AC since it was never technically finished.

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

LOVE the first AVP (especially the unrated cut)

[Ello Sailor]

Upon closer inspection it was indeed the "Assembly Cut". The audio totally ruined the experience for me.

A lot of it was mostly fixed on the Blu-ray release, thankfully.

Alien 3 is a divise movie for sure. I didnt loved it as a kid, and now i do specially for how bold it is. I should watch resurrection again soon.

the AVP movies are weird, but yeah, you should watch them. I specially loved the fucked up ending of part 2.

[LoathedVermin72]

I haven’t seen Requiem since theaters but it’s fucking horrible and the ending is dumb as balls
