@@davebear9825 that's fair enough mate. I liked the characters and this was something I never thought I'd say. I also expected more gore but I think I managed to find a sweet spot between gratuitous gore and not showing enough. I never want to see too much in an Alien film but thinking about it, we never saw much human blood. It was mostly android or xeno blood. Strange...

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Yeah I think that Alvarez should have while on set... produced a long Short (10 Minutes or two say 5 Minute ones that could have been used in Marketing (scenes from The Colony) which could help us flesh out the Characters (like the Alien Covenant Last Super one). These could be added to the DVD extras etc for those who missed them. This may have helped to connect with the Characters.... i feel a little more time with Tyler and Kay may have helped.... but these Characters never came over well compared to say Janek, Vickers did in Prometheus. Overall I think they were not as forgettable as Alien Covenants. I think that Andy was the stand out but Rain was not too bad... a bit more time with Tyler and Kay would have helped or a 1-2 Short Promotional Scenes to get us accustomed to the Characters would have helped.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE As far as the Gore... i think that you can't just rely on the Gore to scare people. And so if your not going for BRUTAL Gore... then your left on the Borderline in the UK to make it a 18 or cut that little out to get a 15 and increase the potential Box Office numbers.

@@user-vr6sd3cr9p she had some of the best acting chops as well

@@LukeLovesRose it interesting how we all vary in our thoughts on this film but I respect you opinion mate and sorry it didn't work for you. Did you not think the android was pretty good at least?

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE After David, this Andy character is Meh for me.

@@LukeLovesRose I didn't even play the flute 🤣. Actually David was expertly played by Fassbender, the guy is one of the best actors out there

100% but it's fun to imagine other scenarios 😉

@@jarvy251 oh you are more likely to be right my dude. The theory is a stretch, I know, but it was fun exploring a different alternative idea.

@@jellymop a good point 👍

Hope you have a good experience. It has many great moments if you are an Alien fan :)

@@gordondafoe3516 I have to these days, not much on..

@@SEPR2 but it was a high ranking position on the mission, enough influence to control certain situations or be a decoy.

@@GameOverManGameOver glad you had a good time but I'm jealous about the whole IMAX thing 😉. Closest IMAX to me is London but I'm not risking getting stabbed to go see a film 😲. Stay tuned for my full review as there are so many details to be discussed.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE❤

​@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Looking forward to your new spoiler review mate. You've quickly become my favourite film reviewer and I like that you reply to almost every comment people make and engage with your audience. Good on you man and I hope your channel goes far

@@bozcoustics5448 I comments like this keep me going, thanks. I have no idea what I'm doing nor do I have a plan. I just speak from the heart in the hopes it is more relatable than some flashy high production video haha. Thanks again.

@@techstacker5361 great reply buddy. Yes I actually replied to someone else today that another Marine combat drop would be nice but maybe it should revolve around a film that focuses on the company. I loved the eerie shots of the scientists working on the xeno so much that I wanna see more of that fleshed out. Then maybe they call the marines for help? Sounds cheesy but fuck it haha!

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE actually that sounds like a great idea 😀 Whatever they do, they should bring Andy and Rain back, their relationship was one of highlights imo.

@@allenwood9967 the hybrid creeped me out sufficiently enough that I can ignore to a point where you're coming from, sort of. But I get you. I feel like the Xenos either all died at once before the end or they made the mistake of creeping towards someone with a pulse rifle instead of ambushing her. It did feel rushed at these later points but I wonder if there will be a directors cut to fix some of these issues

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE the hybrid was creepy but I could see that being in one of Fede's horror films 😁 a director's cut with a prolonged assault by the xenomorphs would be great and the downtime and tension in between but the station had a time limit before it impacted the rings, just some fine tweaking and it could be awesome.

@@harjindersokhi9852 I'll be 🙊 Ng more to the positives and negatives in my full review but sorry to hear it didn't click with you.

@@Fiorwestcoast I don't think we've ever had the goo explained to us well enough to know what it can and can't be extracted from, but I get your point, especially in regards to Ridley. Too many cooks in the kitchen over the years. There was a lot of convenience I realised but I still enjoyed it. Hindsight may play a factor over time so the more times I see it and can analyse the film and what it explores might make my feelings change. Scientifically, I don't even know how that Nostromo detonation would have worked. Contrary to popular belief, I know that if you detonate a nuke in space there is actually no explosion because there is no atmosphere to ignite, no particles etc, just gamma rays. I'm clueless as to how much debris would have remained. Probably not enough for a perfect Nostromo sign 😉

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Ridley was notorious for disliking the Queen I'm 1986. And when Prometheus was made the black goo wasn't thought out. It was just put there as a way of trying to explain the origins. When blomkamp came in with his film Ridley shut it down because it had a queen alien in it. And that's when he did covenant (with eggs in it and no queen) the studio realized covenant was a disaster financially and especially with Alien fans. I guarantee we will find out in time that fede had a queen Alien on romulus. They went to lv426 and picked up an egg or something like that. And Ridley came in and promised to fund the film but had changes he wanted. Fede punched a wall and kicked a door when he read the changes. Ridley has become the studio. The black goo has ruined the franchise and Ridley is trying to keep himself from looking like an idiot.

@@Fiorwestcoast Ridley did joke about Fede punching a wall after being handed some notes haha! You make some great and very accurate points I have to say. The way I see it is, Ridley was there first and he had his own issues with the studio in terms of what couldn't be shown. The queen came later but that doesn't take away from the fact that the goo narrative was bodged and never thought through properly. I'm very interested to know what interactions took place between Cameron and Fede with their early conversations. Cameron made some off remarks about him and the film when recently asked about it but that's all gossip on clickbait sites anyways. I wonder if you are right and a queen was more logical in his conception of the film.

​@@ENTERTAINtheDUDEoh I'm sure Cameron hated the rook character. He probably said that fede brought nothing new. And I'm hoping he made fun of the black goo

@@Fiorwestcoast Oh btw, I just checked out your channel. Watching your spoiler review now and loving the collectables you have in the background. You even look like Ripley a little bit hehe!

haha! Thanks as always my friend. are you seeing it soon? I'll have my full review uploaded in a few days :)

I would love a sequel that focuses on the company and its personnel ;)

@@ianmcgeehan4627 it possible but I never noticed it at all during the film. I need to analyse the film frame by frame really. Unless it was just a trailer trick.

@@marcus_ohreallyus 🤣

Well, the SIM was to maintain the retro future elements of the first film and everything we saw was fairly in keeping with this. I also think that creating superhumans is very much part and parcel of bio weapons as well.

@@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG true, the countdown did get bumped up significantly.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Perhaps the downtime should be placed during the face-hugging and incubation period since it was Navarro that caused the ship’s trajectory to shift. The incubation period also felt expedited. Too fast.

@@aaroncall5274 it's hard to ignore those silly parts, I agree

@@JoshuaRyan-nj1yi after seeing the film, it's remains a little hazy. I guess there were more face huggers either made naturally or escaped from the lab.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE yea I'm 49 been a huge fan honestly they could of left the engineers out of it , I want cocoons, face huggers , chest burst, aliens..THATS IT no extra stuff 😊 edit: Saw Romulus last night

@@JoshuaRyan-nj1yi you liked it? It has flaws but I enjoyed it a fair bit.

@@tibitzu365 maybe 😉

@@djmajor1597 I missed that. You think Ridley requested it or else no movie? 🤣

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Probably! 🤣 He believed the Bladerunner world was what the humans in Alien would've lived in had they been on Earth

I wondered the same regarding how they perceive androids. There were definitely inconsistencies that benefited the convenience factor. Maybe it would have been better if there was a larger crew so that we saw more traditional kills from the Aliens. I think the end part was still done with some practical as a really tall actor did play that thing. I do understand and can relate to your points though. It's one of those films that either you enjoy it or you don't depending on how much your willing to suspend your belief I guess. Either way, I think both sides can obviously see it's flaws.

Cheers buddy. Yeah well, I actually kinda wish we got an extra 10 minutes on Jackson Star, just to take in the surroundings and absorb the atmosphere. I don't know if the pacing was off but i would have liked the film to be longer just to add more sections to the whole narrative, you know. I was happy that I enjoyed it though ;)

@@mikepanick9362 fair enough buddy.

Haha, the ending was decisive indeed. Yeah I'll get to work on a full review this week but may need to watch again as all the juicy parts went by in a flash haha!

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I really liked it, the characters, story, acting, sets and athestics. It captured the dread and fear and the love and hard work were obvious. Solid film and lived up to my hopes. Will be standing by for your considered thoughts..

@@austenpowers did you feel as though the ending was tacked on? Maybe Alvarez didn’t have full creative control and was kinda forced to shoot it. Ridley Scott I’m looking at you!!!!!

@@doctoronishispsychosislab1474 yeah those moments distract and are unforgivable for some people. Shame but I'm just happy I enjoyed it enough to be excited for the future in this franchise.

@@paulclifford2428 I know exactly the eye rolling moments hehe! There must have been forced right? Some intern at Disney lol, I dunno. Glad you also had a great time.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE, lol, I heard a couple in the row behind me give a groan as well. 😂

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE, I did have great time, cheers!

@@thecopperiris haha! Funniest remark so far. I can't do patreon because I don't have the time outside of my day job to create extra long vids that would validate you honest and decent peeps paying a monthly sub. I believe there is a Super Thanks button on RUclips where ppl can donate but I never expect anyone to do that as it feels weird accepting others money for just my thoughts. Appreciate your supporting words though dude 😎

@@jonathanlopez2697 it has many strengths that over shadows it's weaknesses I feel. It definitely could have been better but damm was it a thrilling bit of cinema, a truly great cinematic experience.

In cooking we was Taught a good meal they will tell 3 people about it. A bad meal they will tell 10. Personally i didnt like it. they whole cinema sighed when the anriod said what he did. (i'm assuming you seen it) one bad scence don't break a movie but it was jarring

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I agree. I'm definitely not saying it's a perfect movie, most rarely are, only the greats in history carry that title. but that never makes it a "shit" one as plenty are claiming. Plenty of strengths in this film and overall an extremely engaging experience. 👍🏽👍🏽

Glad someone said it

Did you know spaceships in the future are so poorly lit you can’t see yit? Or that the lead actress turned on the light for 25 seconds? Dark cinematography is ruining movies, if it was this dark in the theater I can imagine it will be complete blackness at home. 😡

@@Lavonne1 sorry to hear that

If you thought a year ago that you would have given a score like that to this film, then you'd be over the moon right? I know I would. I heavily criticised this film early on but my biggest fears such as the cast were my least of problems. So happy it is a very acceptable Alien film, at least for me ;)

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE It isn't cheesy and it didn't insult like Ridley Scott did with his damn irritating prequels which carried his and the studio's meddling.

@@michaelg.1786 we had a similar experience then 👍 Glad you enjoyed it. Mostly, this film excited my imagination into the realm of possibilities and discoveries of what else we can learn about the company and its invested interests. It was a short but thrilling ride. I'll also need to pull a sickie "cough" I mean take an extended break to go watch again this week. Especially if I am to fully review this film. I failed to catch some of the terminology of the extracted pathogen and other scientific endeavours that the scientists had discovered.

@@ControkNonen I'm making a new series of vids where I try to scientifically explain them from the perspective of a Weyland science personnel. I know it sounds silly but I've done so much research into the idea of silicon based life forms and what analogous life in Earth best represents the Xenomorph that I feel I might be able to offer some insight into this. Until of course a real scientist watches it and destroys me haha!

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE It was an explaination how the black goo worked in the movie ? To create new lifeforms by extracting dna from excisting ones ?

@@ControkNonen it is the origin that I'm interested in.

@@cjm753bc8 in a weird way, I hope he does. Only because I don't include those films into canon, so who cares in my mind 😜. Glad you enjoyed it as I knew after watching it there would be a big divide in the comments and understandably so. Never have I been so creeped out in a recent film by the ending here lol!

@@MusicShaneCollins it might be one of those films some may have to compartmentalize and appreciate it separately perhaps to the comparisons of the originals. I saw it as a separate entity and was happy for the ride, but I do understand the flaws you guys point out

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE The meaning with bringing Ash back,is to show that the engineers had the elixir to both bring dead back to life,and to prolongue life.That is the mission of the spaceship "Prometheus"in the first movie.This secret mission was hidden from the crew,and is essential in the first movie,so i feel that a conclusion is needed 😀

@@danielwesther3634 I was watching a RUclips vid on the actor who played the spoiler end segment, very interesting from an acting point of view.

Funny, I thought final part was some of the best. No fan service, it was original, and it felt like a horror movie. The rest of the movie was very good but the line repeating fan service was the only big weakness

@@aaroncall5274 it was so creepy that it made me stop asking questions about how it can exist. True horror should disgust us with the unknown 👍

I think that it was not necessary and that the 20 Minutes could have been used to give us more time with the Characters and Xenomorphs. I can see that Alvarez wanted to make this a love letter to the Franchise as a whole though.

@@davebear9825 I feel like the Xenos died to quick and all at once 🤔 Maybe some extra time with them might have been more productive in terms of their ending.

@@ITSREALLYNOTYOURFAULT you didn't like it then? 😉. In comparison to Prometheus, I much preferred these characters but I understand your complaints buddy. I think many will share your views

Wow. Glad we are all unique in interests. I'm glad I saw a different Alien movie!

@@michaelg.1786 Enjoying the enormity of it all, revelling in the jump scares, appreciating the cinemetography, does not a good movie make. It is not a good movie, it is a few stitched together horror scenes that feel good at the time but are ultimately devoid of any meaningful attachment, a bit like what you get from having a one night stand, it was ok while it lasted (about two hours). It is full of member berries that ellicited the most passionate groans of the night. Ive got nothing against anyone that watches lots of pawn and gets off on having one night stands, btw - you do you, and all that.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE There were bits i liked, thought were great, even enjoyed, but i'm not gonna let any of that get in the way of a good rant. 🙂

@@ITSREALLYNOTYOURFAULT Sometimes you gotta rant to feel better ;)

I want to see how that continues also. Plus, another Marines expedition into a highly contentious area of Weyland interest would be a nice surprise.

@@zzzzzap impossible to have her back at this stage sadly and I never want to see a CGI version of her haha!

Ripley is just one drama. I've moved on from her.

@@Khultan the actress also accepted Alien 4, which in my view kinda finished her credibility 😲. That being said, she is one of my favourite actors and a true legend, just saying 😉

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE Others can bring different characteristics in different situations.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I don't want her back. Disgraceful just like the original STAR WARS cast.

@@bozcoustics5448 if it gets better from here then that will be good news indeed. Maybe Ridley will finally get his Covenant 2 green lit?

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE that would be cool to see mate, we'll have to see how Alien Earth does though for now I expect

@@chination1796 I still have fond memories of Alien 3 imo, but both films have their minor flaws in comparison to the first two. This one was a great cinema experience though 👍

It's a horrible feeling when that happens. There is something to be said about tempering your expectations, especially when comparing to the mighty Alien and Aliens. I also want somebody to make another The Thing movie but i know bloody well that it won't be on par with the original sadly.

Just go watch the original movie. I don't get all the complaints.

Good luck buddy and hopefully I didn't spoil anything for you in this vid, I tried not to ;) The practical elements were very noticeable for me and loved that nothing looked bad in any way. It really did add so much tension and eye candy at the same time.

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE I skipped forward one moment near the end where my Spidey senses thought I heard you getting ready to say something I didn't want to hear yet, but you delivered a spoiler free experience. 😅👍

Don't worry mate, they may be classed as genz in age but they really aren't written as that in my opinion. If you're a fan of 1-4, you'll probably love it. There's references to every one and I loved it as a big Alien fan

@@bozcoustics5448 nice to hear! I'm sitting in the theater now waiting for trailers to start. ⚡🥳 ⚡

@@catbertz make sure you go for a piss early on lol. I found myself having to wait for about an hour half way in because I didn't want to miss anything haha

Makes a boring theory though 😉😉😉

@@ENTERTAINtheDUDE don't get me wrong I'd sooner serve under a bad soldier who was a good leader than a good soldier who was a bad leader. A bad leader will kill more of his own people than a bad soldier.

@@cosmosrunner that's not too bad 👌

@@bsmith6646 I get which parts are going to be devisive but for some reason I enjoyed it quite a bit. I have an overwhelming feeling of needing more as Romulus felt like a tiny chapter in something much larger. So I hope we get further projects and time for things to be fine tuned.

I watched it on Friday and absolutely loved it but I'm a massive fan of Fede so may be biased. It felt like a love letter to all four films with references to each one! The guy sat next to me who was clearly a big horror fan, didn't feel quite the same but still enjoyed it. We chatted for a while as the credits were rolling. I loved it though. I'd have just have liked a little more xenomorph but otherwise it was a really sick film and I fully enjoyed it

@@bozcoustics5448 great to hear. I went at mid day and there were only a few others in the theatre with me. All dad's that grew up with this franchise and sitting alone like me in pure appreciation of experiencing another Alien film. I share your optimism and think the pros far outweigh the cons here. There were shots of the Xenos moving slowly with hesitation or that lift sequence! But then the film more than made up for it with terrifying close ups of Xenos doing things you'd never seen them perform before. It left me with much to think about and I love that in a film.

​​@@ENTERTAINtheDUDEClose up of Xenos doing what? Lol The Xenos didn't do anything special in this movie and were so underwhelming . They were a minor factor and got very little screen time. Heck they were even used as fodder cannon plot device for the acid sequence to take place. The movie was very disappointing !

@@ikaros21 I have to agree. Xeno time was very limited
