The only question you'll now want answered about the Alien franchise is why they screwed it up so badly? Alien Snorathon.

Rating: 2/10 (28 May 2017)

There are many viewpoints on Prometheus but for all its terribly stupid crew decisions and lack of "horror" it opened up an almost endless seam of possibilities to take the mythology of Alien and I'd be very surprised if it didn't make 95% of the audience question something in the series , where what , why. Poorly executed but nice concept.
Alien Covenant is basically Alien made for the millennials.... " we must try and explain everything" we must make it easily digestible, we must get away from any open ended questions - today's society doesn't like open ended questions - it wants to know everything and it wants to know now! Hence this awfully obvious and drab film that takes away any myth or mystery we were getting into in the Prometheus.
It's fine to make a space horror film - look at Alien ! it was amazing...
But all of this film was just exposition and explanation - NOTHING INTERESTING left over.... bar possibly what David will do next and will Tenesee and whoever her name is in the cryotubes survive at all? But as Ridley Scott (surely under huge financial and other pressures from the Studio) does what we know what now to be true over and over - he'll kill off any continuation with any character you might have interest in....
cos if ideas get complicated or edgy its just too much for most cinema goers. (blame the studios for this!) The Alien franchise just had a massive dumbing down regards the mythology of it all -and again the movie on screen was massively dumb in so many areas.
Ridley said he thought it would be more interesting If David made the aliens (or helped create one /his own version of them) rather than those Engineers people.
Who thinks this was big mistake? Uhhh duhhhhh!!! Even if you don't agree with me the alien is now just a hysterical lunatic walking human toaster gone wrong's experiment.
Where's there terror in that ?
where do we go from here? The films are coming out all wrong.
Snore. Snore . Alien Snorathon.
