Pretty nice movie. Quite thrilling. But of course, you have the usual idiot characters making idiot decisions in a horror movie

Michael Fassbender is amazing

worth to go with MX4D?

I liked Michael Fassbender's acting. I loved him as Walter and hated him as Daniels. The fact that I can have two reactions must mean his acting is good I guess.


It wasnt that much of a horror tho. I closed my ears once.. coz it was soo obvious.

I liked how more detailed they managed to show the thing pop out from the body..

Heres my review though.

Food for thoughts

Ridley Scott is embarking a new movie experience for the alien fans which I have forgotten.

Something I had in discussion with others. For those familiar with the fan forum alien website/Facebook.

A lot of materials are offered in there and not in the movie (itself) such as the 360 view or from POV of the alien - a must see 😳 (Link below)

Such materials like above link is what Neill Blomkamp may offered camera POV if he a stab at it. I do find it exciting for fan experience.

that's y ppl always said better "watch online" or "download full in due time" rather paying over RM15.xx just for a censored movie

and yesterday night the guy next to me keep shaking his leg non stop - even he sit with gal friend (the gal can tahan this kind of habit, wordless) - make seat vibrate

the movie: so-so only, believe many scenes being drop by our honour authority

Hey guys half way I needed to run to the toilet. Can you guys please tell me what did I miss?

So the old man cave in because aliens "fan" was not happy with Prometheus





The future of alien movies needs to be more than just the alien killing people. Alien:Covenant is exactly for fuc sake those who wanted more aliens killings crew/humans, dark corridors & Ripley like heroine blazing guns, expelling ammo at aliens while screaming her head off. 😡

The old man gives zero f about the fan because he got a big fat cheque under his name to cash out. He's been at it for decades and already build his legacy. First of all no one film director is there to listen to the fan except for the studio heads signing the cheques. If I'm getting a salary of USD 1 million or more, please let me know who do I need to blow to cash that.

Those studio exec are no idiot when comes to crunching numbers and their marketing machine is what drives the industry. You are talking people with Ivy League education that knows how to make obscene amounts of money. So don't flatter the importance of a fanboy able to influence their decision.

Geeks and film buffs only a vocal minority factor that do nothing but garner excitement surrounding a movie. It's the silent majority that fuels the industry. Meaning the lame dads with disposable income to spare or young adults who have yet started a family. So don't think the nerd or fanboy is that important in the grander scheme of how a movie perform any better or not.

School ya!

Movie was just average.

that's it, game over man, game over...

The movie was a strange, unruly mix of the first two Alien movies and the androidy bits from Prometheus, often switching between the two in a manner that I suspect the director thought seamless but in fact pretty jarring. It's like it's undecided if it wants to be an Alien movies or a philosophical movie about androids.

That would still be okay if the Alien bits were good. Unfortunately they appear in short bursts sans proper build up and are laughably incompetent. It's a CGI blood splatter fest, far removed from the quality of the first two movies, and the scenes are more similar in nature to the much-derided Alien 3. Heck, Fincher did it better.

I must say the philosophical mumbo jumbo about gods and humans from Prometheus is mostly replaced by philosophical mumbo jumbo about androids and it makes for a more entertaining movie, especially given Fassbender's performance.

You could see the twist ending from a mile away though. I was talking to someone and he mentioned that perhaps the twist wasn't really a twist - the audience was supposed to be in on it.

"If you created me, who created you?"

"you are my creator, yet you will die but I'll live".

"Their species are dying"

Alien Convenant is more about David than alien itself.

Got questions about this movie but later on Ill post.

I want to watch this movie but my hubby not sure whether this is a good and worthful movie or not.

It was okay I guess. Gorgeously looking movie though. Agreed that it was a mix of original Alien and Prometheus. The alien is not as frightening as the original one or even the other alien movies. Another movie with foreseen twist after Life. Acting is commendable especially Fassbender. First seeing McBride in a serious role and he's pretty okay.
