Film Description

Alien: Covenant Movie Poster

“The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.”

In 1979, Ridley Scott revolutionized filmmaking … by creating and creating a cinematic masterpiece, one of my favorite movies, which many call it, the best science fiction film ever “Alien” In 1986, James Cameron, joined the useful to nice and elevated the “Franchise” to another level, with another wonderful work … “Aliens” After these 2 films, there were attempts, but they all ran at the most mediocre … In 2012, Scott returns with Prometheus, a film I personally loved. He divided the fans, some saying it was boring and with many unanswered questions, but the essence of the movie, the suspense, the visuals and especially the tone of the movie, made me love this movie. In spite of everything it had good reviews. 5 years later, Scott returns with “Alien: Covenant” which is a sequel to “Prometheus” There’s a lot you can say about this movie … Starting: Is it better than Prometheus? In my opinion, no Answer the fundamental questions of Prometheus? No Which brings me to the negative part of the movie. Sometimes Scott does not know what he wants to do with the movie … A sequel to Prometheus? An Alien? Ha elements of 2, but undoubtedly is an “Alien” The film has an excellent visual part; in that, I shoot Scott’s hat, impressive … from the most terrifying scenes, to the most pure and beautiful. Speaking of the continuation of Prometheus, I wish, of course, that it had been better explored, there are lots of unanswered questions that Scott might not even want to answer since the fans asked for “Xenomorphs” I’ll speak now, of the “Xenomorphs” the mythical creature of the Alien. The Best Part of this movie is clearly the “Alien” part. It’s Bloody, it’s creepy, it’s ghastly, and it’s been meticulously crafted and performed by Ridley Scott who remains a master of Terror / Sci-fi. There are scenes that make a jaw drop from how extreme, horrible, and genial they are. As an “Alien” movie, the film is what it wants to be, and it succeeds in doing that. As a sequel to “Prometheus” leaves much to be desired and this is really my problem with the movie in general, because a Prometheus fan, does not come out with the questions answered … to compensate has the component “Alien” In general, and in short, the movie is good. Not very good. It’s good, it’s an entry into the legendary franchise of Ridley Scott, it’s visually brilliant, with a wonderful cast, highlighting Michael Fassbender, who was absolutely fantastic with jaw-dropping scenes, with bloody, extreme scenes that honor the Name “Alien”. It did not satisfy all my needs, as a sequel, it’s mediocre, as an isolated “Alien” movie is pretty good, and I’m curious how Scott will be able to link all the movies and finally take us to the “Nostromo” ship, Time will tell.
