Alien: Nonsense

Rating: 3/10 (7 March 2018)

First, let me say that I love Prometheus. I don't what it is, but I feel that more care was taken to create that film. It rocked!! So, this past weekend Alien: Covenant premiered on HBO. The best thing about this film is the visuals. Ridley Scott really knows how to give his audience a feast for the eyes with the way he creates the environments for his films. That's the only reason I'm giving this review three stars. Beyond that, this movie is absolute rubbish. I read the novelization last year and enjoyed it despite the pathetic storyline the novelization was based on. Alan Dean Foster brings the chills and thrills better than the screenwriters ever could!! The main reasons I was turned off: the stupid decisions the crew made, final fate of a certain character, the process by which one of the parasites cause a crewmember's death, & the ending(which I chuckled at..lol!). Also, the amount of gore was a bit much. Sure, by now my comments are nothing new, but I had to give my opinion upon viewing the film out of curiousity. And now, since Disney has acquired 20th Century Fox, I don't think we'll get another good Alien film. Ridley Scott needs to step away from the director's chair and let someone else have a go at this franchise.
