I honestly do not know, can not possibly comprehend in my wildest and most moronic dreams what the hell was going on in the heads of the people who came up with this utter disaster of a film.....
It is not even a half decent sci-fi film that can stand on its own.
Trying to understand the reasoning, the motivation, the logic behind this abomination of a "story", all I could come up with is that they tried to introduce "ALIEN" to a whole new generation of an audience to appreciate and grow old with....
Yes, that they did.... to an audience that is lacking basic understanding of common sense, of cause and effect, of average moderately good story telling, of everything known to mankind and it is absolutely necessary to put one foot in front of the other, progress and make sense of its existence.
Shameless, mindless, exploitation of the ALIEN franchise, of the sci-fi genre, for the shake of making a quick buck.
I wish I knew if Ridley Scott has any say on the story or he just directs whatever they give him because he is bound by contract and there is absolutely no f@#$#$%%^ing way he can get out and avoid it like the plague. Someone must ask him that. Somebody please, please do that!
If it has been done already, forgive me, I have not read or heard it anywhere. If he has no say and it is Impossible for him TO STOP, WITHDRAW from directing new ALIEN????? (should have been called Xenomorph) films, then I truly sympathize the predicament he is in....
If that is not the case then... I am not sorry at all for him as a creator and the harsh/trash critics he has received. Just let it go man!!!!!!!!!!!
Let.It.Go.Already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I were an actor, I would not participate in any other installment no matter how much money they gave me.
I urge, anyone who has not seen this "thing" yet, to please please first watch the original film, of which this is a disgrace of an attempt of a remake (the opening title, the music), and then reach their own conclusions.Watch all 4 movies of the franchise. The first 3 are gems. The 4th not so much, but still it has scenes/moments that will make your skin crawl... Hell, AVP was a freaking masterpiece for the ages, compared to this blunt-tasteless mess of nothing!
CGI, explosions, visual effects etc etc can do nothing for a film that has nothing to offer plot wise, acting wise (the cast except Fassbender had nothing to work on, nothing to work with).
If I am not mistaken, there was a trailer which I saw here on IMDb a couple of months before the release of the movie where the whole crew was having dinner or lunch or whatever and there was a scene where one of the crew was seen choking and immediately your mind went to the legendary, most iconic, scene of the first 1979 movie, which in this version was made to mock it!!! Ridley Scott made a scene that was mocking himself, the essence of the original ALIEN... Oh yes he did!! But thank all the known gods of the world for him, it was not in the final cut that hit the movie theaters... and searching I found it= Alien: Covenant Extended Clip & Trailer (2017) Sci-Fi Horror Movie. Check it out and make up your own mind for this "thing".....
After that... what else can I say....
This time around it is not "crew expendable", the whole ALIEN franchise has taken its place.
P.S. Tennessee? Tennessee??? Tennessee?!?!?!?!?!? Tennessee?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Dallas is crawling in his space grave.....
