Have you seen it and what do you think?
I am a huge fan of the original four films (to a varying degree, as the quality diminishes with each instalment), hated the Alien v Predator movies and Prometheus was just ok.
I must admit I left the cinema on Friday night a little bit unsure what I thought of Covenant. To be honest, I found it all a bit confusing, the character development a little on the lean side (probably because there were too many) and the Alien itself underwhelming.
I think the mystique from the original franchise has been killed off a bit and I find the concept of Michael Fassbender's character having developed the genetics of the Alien a massively disappointing origin backstory.
In short, I think its all become a bit of a mess, which is a real shame and a bit of a surprise given that Ridley Scott is involved. What does everybody else think?
I will be meeting some of the Alien cast at LFCC and it would be interesting to ask what they make of it all? Would love to know what Sigourney makes of it!?
