I'm a big fan of the Aliens movies but this seems a little weird. The aliens just seem out of place when they're not in shadows or dark hiding places. That's one of the reasons why I thought the first movie was so awesome. Sure...you had never seen the monster before so it had added shock value...but a lot of it was left to the imagination. I waited like a year and a half before I saw the first film. Big mistake. Everyone built it up so much that when I saw it I was bored to tears. Took a while before I could appreciate it for what it was.

I found a cool article on the continuity...hold on. Here it is... How Alien: Covenant fits in the larger Alien timeline, and what comes next

Just released. Alien: Covenant | Official Trailer [HD] #2 | 20th Century FOX Just saw this. Save your money...it's total garbage. In fact, this movie is so bad it cheapens the entire franchise. My opinion of Prometheus dropped significantly after seeing this movie, as now I see that Scott had no grand vision after all. Prometheus is just a seriously flawed, poorly constructed movie, and this one is worse. Apparently, he's simply making a money play with all these prequels and sequels he has planned.

Upon reflection, I'm amazed at how much 'misunderstood genius' I was injecting into Prometheus. I usually recognize that lens when I see it - where we see something for what we 'want' it to be, rather than its actual attributes.

Well, . Not that I'm forming my opinion solely based on yours, but I believe you love the franchise enough to be swayed into waiting until it's on one of the premium channels. I liked Prometheus, too Maybe I should leave well enough alone, go LA-LA-LA-LA-LA whenever someone talks about Covenant, and limp away with what I've seen so far and finish the rest in my head. Again, .

Again, . I probably wouldn't follow my own advice if given the chance. I love SF, and I routinely watch horrible garbage just because there's not that much out there to satisfy my cravings. Prometheus was eye candy to me. I loved the scenes of the ship flying through the atmosphere and landing...the interiors...stuff like that. So even if the story was weak, and the characters were doing stuff that most people with half a brain wouldn't...it was still enjoyable to me from a visual perspective. Covenant eye candy is there...but it's really just more of the same and not done as well. If you love SF, you should see it...if only to say that you did and be able to discuss it. It answers most of the questions that were raised in Prometheus.

I am a huge, HUGE Alien fan, and everything Ditch states here rings so true. Hugely saddened and disappointed by this pile of poo Ridley has decided to pump out his obviously drained out imagination. Brandywine should be ASHAMED to have had anything to do with this. Ridley, make the end of the stupid trilogy you wanted to grind the money out of, but do it so it seamlessly leads into Alien and for christ sakes, give Michael Fassbender something to work with. I really REALLY want a resolution to where the Space Jockey came from with his payload of Aliens. He is too damned big to be an Engineer. Explain that to us and get it over with. Looking forward to the real Aliens sequel with Sigourney Weaver.

I'm sure Ridley Scott could be persuaded to show us

Being an Alien fan, it's terrible. But to each their own. People don't usually agree with me
