But I wasn't sure about the intro being set on earth. It feels a little similar to the storyline AVP tried to weave (and it really detracted from the franchise).

 

I really hope that, because of this bit of exposition, that the film is going to be long. I am hoping for 3 hours minimum.

Agreed. I usually hate extra-long films. Inception in particular felt too long recently. I often quote Hitchcock who believed that 'the length of a film should be directly related to the endurance of the human bladder'.

 

But I'd be more than willing to watch 3 hours of this.

 

of course, it's all academic if the cinemas around here are only going to have 3D showings of it. No fucking way am I watching this in 3D

Covenant was a bad call, Roo. It was a bad call.

Yeah that’s the main fucking problem. Same as with Prometheus. Total dumb ass, unbelievable thick as pig shit characters. Like someone going into a public toilet and licking the bowl and surprised som

Scott redefined sci fi. will he be able to redefine his redefinition?

No, probably not. It still looks like a monster movie in space, although the sci-fi elements look to be turned up to 11 and the monster looks like a Fly-type transformation.

 

Just that mix in itself is enough to let me forget about redefinitions.

Ok that trailer showed way too much, what are they thinking? There should be a warning!

 

 

| havent watched it for this reason. Should I be careful?

 

It shows 200% too much for a normal trailer and 8000% to much for a alien prequel trailer.

Thanks for the warning gaarg. I'll probably watch it when I've had a few too many beers and my willpower isnt as strong lol

Nice bits of Icelandic scenery in the beginning of the trailer. That waterfall is "Dettifoss"

Man, I've been to Iceland TWICE and I have yet to see a waterfall. What the fuck?

yeah that trailer assuaged a lot of my doubts. still not crazy about the super hi-tech stuff going on (i honestly would love to see a continuation of the alien(s) aesthetic, even if CRT monitors are outdated NOW...) but that did look quite a bit better than i thought this film could POSSIBLY be. can't wait, now.

It looks one of the members of the crew gets infected, becomes super strong and attacks everybody in the ship. I don't really expect many of those anthropomorphic aliens as seen in the whole series.
