   A huge improvement over PROMETHEUS, and a film that forgives / retroactively gives purpose to its prequel, COVENANT is a majestically shot mash of almost every Alien movie that’s come before it, but it only works because it clarifies that these new films are NOT really Alien movies… Prometheus was about the creation of horror, and Covenant is about the horror of creation, and a much better film for that. Scott and co are smart to realize that Fassbender — who gives both of the best performances you’ll see in a blockbuster this year — is much scarier than the xenomorphs (or whatever) can ever be at this point, and the story embraces that. As a result, this stuff with…

   james franco being cast as the captain of the ship only to fry to death in his cryotube in the first five minutes is the weirdest and funniest fucking cameo i’ve seen since channing tatum showed up in the hateful eight hskehdknsheksjsh

   One of the angriest films to hit theatres in recent memory, Alien: Covenant—Ridley Scott’s prequel-sequel to his sci-fi horror masterpiece Alien—is a deeply troubling work of nihilistic philosophizing and gruesome schlock terror. That anger ostensibly stemming from the polarizing reception to Prometheus, Scott’s bold (if a little misguided) attempt at transforming a beloved perfect organism genre classic into an outlet for his own pretentious musings on the act of creation, an area in which Scott posits that the personal, scientific, mythic and divine all coalesce. Looking back now, it’s easier to accept Prometheus as its own contained space story of human optimism being hilariously crushed by God’s random cruelty, but at the time, and even now, many were hugely disappointed…

   And the award for most predictable movie twist goes to… As a certified Prometheus (2012) enjoyer, I felt as if this one was too cowardly to follow through on its predecessor’s general tone and ideas in a lot of ways. The sole vast improvement this one offers over the previous film is David; an already great character who in this film becomes far and away the greatest non-Xenomorph antagonist to ever grace the series. Fassbender brings such fantastical and disturbing glee to the role, which makes the progression of David’s maniacal God complex truly awe inspiring. Everything else in this movie isn’t. Far and away the least interesting and most infuriatingly incompetent group of protagonists the series has ever seen.…
