In space, two aliens are talking to each other The first alien says, "The dominant life forms on the Earth planet have developed satellite-based nuclear weapons." The second alien asks, "Are they an emerging intelligence?" The first alien says, "I don't think so, they have aimed at themselves"
Peyton Manning's Buttcheek Yes, I love this inclusive, pacifist view of the xenomorph race - they were being discriminated against, what with all those crazies with flamethrowers running around.
This isn't their home world, because in Prometheus (spoiler ahead) we find out that this world is a testing planet for the engineers(an alien race)who not only created us millions of years earlier on this very planet but after they saw what we do, decided to create thousands of xenomorphs to send back to Earth to wipe us out, but the humans seen in the movie stopped that just in time. Then one of the surviving xenomorph queens on this planet eventually laid her own eggs which led to this. So Alien Covenant is basically a follow up from Prometheus.
not a big fan of the movie but i LOVE the line "you hear that? nothing, no Birds, no animals, nothing!" it's says sooo much and yet so Little. Just small details like no animal noises in the background set the mood so much and it immediatly gives the viewer something to Think about throughout the movie.
I know one piece of life saving information. If it's not a chicken/duck egg, I'm moving the fuck away from it. OK let me rephrase it this way... If it's not on earth and something showing signs of life, I'm locking myself away for good. #itstheblackinme
Actually, I believe Alien and Aliens have happened during the events of the movie. In the "Last Supper" Video it gives a nod to xenos being called bugs. (or that its a cameo, so I could be wrong)
literally every alien movie I saw goes like this: Crew lands on foreign planet, finds spaceship with eggs, gets infected and killed. How can someone make 6 movies from that story line?
Autism is a change in humanoid genetic encoding that has increased at an accelerated rate and the hypersensitivity must be addressed by the highest of quality aethetics in order for the individual experiencing it to feel better. Medications result in allergic reactions and damage to neural encoding... even worse is the damage when stress is forced on the individual. The stress of medicating away hypersensitivity triggers traumatic psychological damage. It's like being able to run and then being forced to tip toe around others.

the xenomorphs are way too overpowered. I like the theory that they were engineered by an intelligent alien race in the distant past specifically to kill and destroy foreign alien life, that would at least explain why they are so overpowered even when operating in outside home turf

I LOVE these movies, I've never cared about what the critics say about this franchise, I love the lore, I love the design, I love Geiger, I love it all. I just wish they would make something very, very, VERY dark, hypnotic, evil, deep, & very violent, something that highlights Geiger's work and something he would be proud of.
i would much prefer a film based on a giger world with the space jockeys not men in suits the jockeys dont even have to talk i would also like to see more of gigers early creations on the planet and nobody created the xenos they have been around forever and we dont know where they have come from. cameron really did a number on gigers work
That Alien on the windshield looks like an insurance fraud for hitting a pedestrain. Good thing they have a camera to prove that the driver did nothing wrong.

0:27 I cannot think of a more useless piece of protective headwear than what these people have chosen to wear for their first steps onto an alien planet.
Well their equipment was made for the original planet and they were supposed to colonize it. They weren't expecting freaky monsters that burst out of their chests..
They already knew the % of oxygen, nitrogen and barometric pressure down to zero points, so they knew it was fine stepping out in the baseball caps! Why waste the Haz mat suits if unneeded.
"Oh look, a weird looking egg thing on this strange planet. Oh, look, it's moving. Maybe I should lean my face in closer and investigate, perhaps touch it." - Future scientist
Well, you could levy the same argument against like 95% of action/horror/sci-fi movies and t.v. shows. "There's a serial killer in the neighborhood--I think I'll walk around topless", "everything is exploding, I think I'll run around looking for my adorable puppy rather than getting to safety", etc, etc
Cucha Racha furthermore, oh hey theres wheat growing here and trees as a space explorer I accidently came across this. The movie is also very similar to the last episodes... so yeah.
I like Covenant as a part of franchise, but I hate it as a sequel of Prometheus. Prometheus was a standalone film for me, so I hope for the development of its storyline
If it was realistic: *hears no animals on the entire planet* "fuck this place we'll find another planet" *aliens die after thousands of years of nobody going back*
That could be true IF we didn't already know what each inch of the Alien pretty much already looks like thanks to all of the previous films. Lack of visibility is simply a part of context and pacing which is essential for a any film...tension and release is what makes horror.
Yes, don't listen to the idiots. The only reason they know it is CGI is because it must be , there are no real Aliens...and there are no animatronics that are that fluid robotically.
David Saintloth why bother responding? people will always have something to bitch about! I bet if they had used animatronics, people will still complain.
ya some people didn't like it,,but i thought it was sick. Im so glad the AI won in the end because the neutral or bad guys never win so this movie had a great twist :D. + Michael faster benders character is so amazing.
I don't think the cgi on the xeno is bad. They can now make it be agile and fast. Back when they used suits the aliens would move somewhat clumsy so I think the cgi will help that out.
The point of the alien is not for it to be agile and fast. Making it some 100% CGI bullshit completely betrays the artistic merit of the original alien. The xenomorph is supposed to be a graceful (if such a thing can be said) creature of the shadows. Having the xenomorph be a man in a suit makes it much more unnerving, as it looks more human. The creature is essentially a metaphor for rape, and thus, humanizing the creature (i.e. making it a man in a suit) makes it that much creepier.
platypus ornitorrinco exactly. Also, if we think about it, then Alien Isolation should be the worst game of all of time because it changed the physical structure of the Alien to make it look more like an animal. When in reality it looks absolutely outstanding and is probably the best Alien game ever made. Recommended to listen the audio commentary made by Al Hope for Alien, he explains a lot there.
platypus ornitorrinco You clearly didn't see AvP:R. Sure, the movie was crap, but the Aliens and Predators were about 90% Animatronic/Guys In Suits. And that looked waaaaay better than this. With only a 40 mil. budget too.
This film has it all: -THE OLD: this is a prequel to Alien, has eggs, facehuggers and a Xenomorph. It also has a spaceship with a likable crew! -THE FRESH: this is the sequel to Prometheus, has David and Shaw returning, the planet is the Engineer home world, and there are Neomorphs (new aliens) and possibly even more surprises in store! There's a lot for you guys! Ridley Scott himself has said he doesn't like to tread on familiar ground, he likes to move forward! So most likely the xenomorph we see here isn't much of a focus in the film, only an obstacle at one point, most likely not even near the end. He also said this film WILL answer the question "Why did the Engineers want to destroy Earth?" and that this film will focus on the theme of immortality. -GENRE: a thriller/horror/action mix, just like Prometheus. I don't understand the whining about this trailer. It's going in the best direction for everyone! Some people are even whining about plotholes already. Really? You analyze something that isn't even there yet!? The only issue I find is the CGI of the xeno at the end, it should be better, and hopefully it will be, they still have months to perfect it. That's it. Otherwise I'm hyped, this trailer is VERY promising.
For 18 years, I never knew the alien story continued beyond the 90s. I first watched it on vhs with a static tv in a barn. Ive had an unfinished story for years until I found out it kept going. Amazing lore that keeps you entangled in the story having detective thoughts. Prometheus was amazing and it left you with questions after every scene. I wasn't even able to smoke during the movie because it kept me so engaged. I love movies that keep you guessing and wondering whats going to happen next. Id give it a 9/10 would be 10 if we got more information and understanding of what was going on, but then it wouldn't be a thriller.
whether you like this movie or not, Michael Fassbender is fantastic as David, the devious android from the excellent Prometheus and Walter, the good-natured android. For me, he is the Best Supporting Actor in movies this year. He has one of the most unusual scenes I've ever seen in a movie before and he's brilliant in that scene and everything else he does. His unforgettable performance makes this movie worth watching!
I hate every fan out there that wanted to see this alien garbage. I was looking forward to a more mysterious approach that Prometheus left everyone wondering. What a complete WASTE.........
@@pokix3775 so when they thought everything was good after the conflict with the species (that was made by David) , they thought they escaped and David was dead . So they went back to hybernation stage to go to the specific planet as it was 8 years away . Daniel was the last person to go for hybernation and just right before she went to sleep , she found out that the robot was David , not walter . As she knew the ship contain 4000 people and embrios of many animals including human embrios . So it was terrorizing for Daniels (for viewers also) after knowing that David will experiment with all the people and will make specis after specis with the embrios mixing with the alien genes . So bacically he will make monsters and possibly he can go back to earth with the ship and destroy earth . Daniel just right before she went back to hybernation (as she was the last person to go back to sleep) , she found out . She screams and tries to come out from the machine but obviously it was too late and she went back to sleep . For me the last scene was really really disturbing and depressing as hell .
@@anubhovgogoi3820 damn, okay thanks and he's doing this for the aliens because they let him survive I'm guessing? Its called "Covonent" which is like an agreement of sorts or a contract "I'll do this if you do that" David is destroying earth in return for him being stuck on the planet and him living the whole tumet
Juan Pablo Torres Bruh..Ridley's directing and it was written by the writer of Logan and the writer of Gladiator,Skyfall and the Aviator..so relax its gonna be awesome.
How many times do we have to see a scientist do something as stupid as stick their face over the top of a "face hugger" egg? Seriously, I mean, no one with any common sense would stick their face stark naked over something moving that they have never seen before, much less someone who was supposedly smart enough for a colonization trip such as this one. Please find a new way to introduce the face huggers to Alien movies. It's been 6 or 7 times that we have seen it work that same way. With that said, I will still go see this movie in its first week.
Well, really just in the 3 Ridley Scott entries. In Aliens, they were colonists, not scientists, they didn't really know any better. In Alien 3 it was a dog, and in Alien Resurrection people were impregnated on purpose. But yes, in Alien, Prometheus and apparently this one, we see supposedly smart people nosing around scary alien biology when they really should be more careful.
On the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons. The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner', but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish.
Am i the only person that actually loved this movie? Prometheus was a very good movie, a slow burner... this was balls to the walls stuff when it started... I really enjoyed it
I actually enjoyed it and re-watching it. I feel bad for the crew they look poorly trained like regular people that worked a supermarket who were taught to fly a ship in space.
Seventeen *days*? Hey man, I don't wanna rain on your parade, but we're not gonna last seventeen hours! Those things are gonna come in here just like they did before. And they're gonna come in here... R.I.P Bill Paxton
And i hate the need to add music over everything too, like that piano in the beginning. Everything about this film is inept, so it's suprising it's made by the guy who made the first one!
Becouse the story line makes no sense ... All of this ... Of a Robot David The first the best ... Sigourney Weaver was stunning and the Xenomorph was new at the time ... We dont care how the eggs get there ... Alien 1979 is pure Claustrofobic Horror Scifi Movie with a simple story

Ridley scott is legendary.. Everyone criticized the movie. Tried to say funny things bla bla.. I've been waiting about alien quality movie for many years. Respect from istanbul dude.. we are waiting
Without HR Giger and Dan Bannon, Ridley would be cleaning toilets. Blade Runner was great, but let's admit got lucky with the leftovers from Jodorowsky's aborted "Dune' film.
I'm still waiting for the day where they stop doing the whole "New Planet, finds alien shit, get attacked by facehugger" Like, when are they gonna implement these aliens into something else? like a worldwide epidemic? or a whole civilzation of zenomorphs? explain their existence?
I don't see why everyone is being bitchy about this film. Alien Covenant is trying to entice fans back into the franchise, by bringing back the Xenomorph as well as the new Neomorph, it will be interesting to see how this links to Alien because that's where Ridley Scott has said this sequence of films will end, just right before that film. I'm stoked for this movie. I hope it really does meet my expectations I love the Alien films
I get your point. Having seen the original "Alien" back in 1979, it created a standard almost impossible to top, and once the "creature" was revealed, all the originality had passed. The film studios made a "franchise" of it for money and I think from all the documentaries I have seen, the writers, Scott and the actors from the 1979 film just wanted this pretty original story at the time to be successful. There was no narrative to continue it, so they have tried to make up one ever since. ;-)
ngon1111 TBH I haven't watched either of the movies. 2016 was all about Superheroes for me... Lol. I found out passengers from another comment... Gotta watch both of them now 😀
The ever brilliant comment section is back again to critique and enlighten Ridley Scott, to teach him how to do it right. Oh cruel fate, why have you let this amateur direct this movie and not thy beloved comment section. Please start work on the sequel to this all of you right now, Hollywood awaits your masterpiece.
john kerry omfg it does. what if one appears in the movie? that would be so fucking perfect. and that predator kills all the aliens and takes the surviving humans into hostage. and that planet is one of the predators hunting planets.
I want them to make Prometheus 2 where we meet Ellen Ripley's grandfather. He wakes up from deep sleep and survives, goes back to earth, marries, has kids, and later teaches his granddaughter, Ellen to be a badass. He influences her to work in space. That would be really cool.
WTF not only would that not work at all with the timeline, that sounds cliche as hell and would completely undermine Ripley as her own autonomous person
All you ppl bitching about the CGI alien at the end of the trailer plz understand its kind of impossible not to use CGI when your having the alien hang from a ship while trying to smash a window with its head. And watch the rest of the video plenty of scene where the alien is not CGI.
Well then maybe don't have the alien hanging from the ship in broad daylight. The point of the creature is to remain in the shadows and move slowly and almost gracefully. It is a walking metaphor for rape. It carefully and silently emerges from darkness to violently assault its victims, much like a rapist. It also serves to make the xenomorph much creepier by having it be a man in a suit. Obviously, this doesn't look good when you show it in its entirety in broad daylight. However, that's the whole point. It ceases to be legitimately scary when you have some CGI abomination running around in daylight. Take for example the original Alien, as well as the film Jaws. Both never showed their creatures in their entirety for more than a few seconds (and even then, the creatures weren't 100% shown). Even though in these films' cases, this was not necessarily intentional, it greatly improved the film in the end. Not showing the creature keeps it mysterious and unknown. And what do humans fear more than the unknown? I'm sorry, but if you think having the xenomorph be some CGI bullshit is good, you have absolutely no understanding of what makes a truly good movie, a movie that you look back on in thirty years and say, "That is a classic." It is the exact reason the original Alien is so remembered in the first place. This film will more than likely not be remembered in 30 years because of its idiotic, ignorant decision to go with CGI.
Alien: "Alien vs. Truckers" Aliens: "Aliens vs. Marines" Alien 3: "Alien vs. Convicts" Alien Resurrection: "Aliens vs. Pirates" Prometheus: "Aliens vs. dumbasses" Alien Covenant: "Aliens vs. Couples"
I think he mean Colonists cause that's technically why they landed on the planet in the first place from their dialogue to colonize it, hmmm feels like the Company is still doing their shady shit wonder when in the timeline this takes place in?
Rewatched the movie for the first time in years. Was tied to some bad times lol.. but I didn't entirely understand the the movie before.. now after context of life.. this movie is a masterpiece
@@ponyclub3198 I am not. It's called learning context, you should try it. A little jarring at first but everything makes so much more sense afterwords. For absolutely everything in life.
Pixiedust8399 I suspect there will be (hope so anyway!) the ship from Prometheus, the mushrooms with weird spores, the thing coming out of the guys back, flashes/glimpses of an alien creature that doesn't look like original xenomorph. Think this trailer is almost to fool us into thinking this is going to be a standard alien movie.
Kris B you mean like how the Star Wars trailers showed Han Solo being killed, or how Jurassic world trailers shows the Indominus Rex being killed by the mosasaur?
that means you are not watching prometheus 2012. we've been waiting too long and all we got are another actors with the same role and plot. they landed to a strange planet and got killed by an infectious alien disease, instead ot continue with the first movie which is prometheus
This Film is Spectacular giving what we know as humans. This was remarkable how David and Walter understand one another and alien evolution. Wow . I'm ready for part 2 3 or whatever.....🔥
Not gonna lie, I like the cgi xenomorphs. Probably the best shot is the one dashing between the alarm lights. The last one is fine too but would've preferred it to be in a darker shot.
+caldarislayer HEAVY_TANKO If she does turn out to be Ripleys mother, then that means three generations of the Ripley family have had experiences revolving around the Xenomorphs. And considering the Xenomorphs are rare enough that the people in this universe don't even know of their existence may very well be the dumbest piece of storytelling imaginable. If that does turn out to be true they should rename the movie *Alien: Coincidence*.
SpeedBoost Tommy Ticklebum You BOTH would be excellent at CinemaSins. However, nothing can top "Superman being spared by Batman because their mothers' names are the same" for stupidity.
In the next movie an alien arrives on Earth, invades Hollywood and puts a final nail in the coffin of Humanity and the Alien Franchise by killing everyone. At least there aren't any Predators in this one.
Honestly a great movie, and the fact that David literally did some genetic engineering and experimentation on the Xenomorph species is just fking awesome. We got probably the coolest variants of the Xenomorphs outside of the books. Seriously epic variants, the one st the end is my personal favorite, waaaaaay more violent, stronger, faster and more agile.
Shouldn't have had the unnecessary backstory, contradicts so much from the original films and explains too many unnecessary things. Ruined the mystery which is what made it "alien". Also now that we know it was created on earth by a humanoid robot with was created by a human, they technically aren't aliens now. They fucked up everything.
***** it seemed tense in the trailer, and the Alien moves really quickly.. could be some intense chase scenes. That always gets me, when they're right behind them in a chase.
They used to appear only in dark environments in previous movies probably to hide imperfections since those were guys in a suit or animatronics. Nowadays's CGI eliminates the issue.
An absolutely badass bombastic score, great cinematography, and dope CGI. I think a lot of the choices that some of the characters make are relatively stupid, except for Fassbender’s “David,” who carries this movie forward. That ending instantly had me anticipating a sequel and what that my entail with David returning to Earth with the Covenant filled with Xenomorphs. I Just hope it hasn’t been canceled, and I especially hope Ridley Scott doesn’t dropout of filming it. 🤞

And then of cause, they breathed something in that killed them. Sry, thia would be a highly expensive and highly scientific adventure! No one as dumb as each one of the crew members was would be let on such a mission, let alone be in command! that Movie had the same RIDICOULOUS STUPID flaws as Prometheus ... why do they keep making those ridicoulously stupid space-movies? Is it for US-Audiences only? Because THEY wouldn't notice how extremely stupid everything is about this movie, except the initial setting? I am already sick and tired of bad/stupid horror movies ... but space horror movies have total different cringe level of stupidity.
@JapaneseGiant Lizard1234 nah, their frustration is not aimed at the guy, just the overall disaster the new cinema has become... and I understand them... milking & milking the same ideas, using the original gold & reducing it to a mere perversion... its just discusting
why is everyone in this trailers comments talking like they already seen the movie? "this movie lacks artistic flare and has devolved from the original aliens" I'm sorry i forgot you can see into the future and already know the movie enough to compare it to the others, if you feel a couple 2:30 minute trailers gave you enough information to say it's worse than the others then you are not credible. It's like me judging a meal from the writing on the the menu it just doesn't work. Anyway the movie looks great, even the trailer is giving me that claustrophobic aliens feel and i can't wait to find out what happens.
Trailer is a disappointment because it lacks any sense of style and class. It reveals the most exciting points of the narrative without masking them to create true suspense. Its very similar to what you would expect from a Michael Bay trailer, rather than that of a truly visionary Director. Its still going to be a great movie, but based on how much is revealed in the trailer, I wouldnt expect many surprises in the theater. The story will be very linear with bad CG( yes that CG looks very bad)
If you've seen a trailer and then the movie in at least the last 10 years or so, you know that most trailers spoil the whole movie. If you combine what you see in the Covenant trailer with the garbage they released as Prometheus, you get a pretty good picture if this disaster called a movie. If it wasn't for Alien and Aliens being such masterpieces, I wouldn't care at all, but since they are, I do care.

I remember watching it a few years ago but man is the ending disturbing. I love movies with disturbing, dramatic or sad endings but this film was something else. I saw that people think this is one of the worst films in the franchise but i think this one was disturbing and violent so i liked it.
This looks like it has a hell of a lot of potential. Potential is the key word, the CGI on the Alien looks a little wonky but I think we maybe in for the 3rd best Alien film 😉
Walter Sean there isnt a true Xenomorph in it buddy, there is two different species a Neomorph and Protomorph, i think the Protomorph is ment to be really tall which might be the one hanging off the ship and its arms and legs are crazy long
HyperViper94 wow! Wasn't aware of that, I love the Alien universe but never heard of them before? Protomorph could be the big bad of the film you think?
What disappointed me most about this movie was that the alien civilization was not explored. How they lived, talked, ate, would have been very exciting to see. This is what I wanted to see. And the most important question- 'why they wanted to kill the human race', was never answered. The movie instead takes a different turn. In one quick scene, the whole alien civilization was destroyed by David. Quite disappointing.
Ive read somewhere that the reason that they want to kill humanity is because they are building AI's that eventually kill them! As if they have some future seeing or visions. Kinda makes sense
exactly!! I was left with SO many questions after watching this, and I watched it over and over to see if I missed something. It just leaves you hanging, esp. like you said, when they could have put in so many different but important little details. and that darn David. lol.
In space, two aliens are talking to each other
The first alien says, "The dominant life forms on the Earth planet have developed satellite-based nuclear weapons."
The second alien asks, "Are they an emerging intelligence?"
The first alien says, "I don't think so, they have aimed at themselves"

Actually, I believe Alien and Aliens have happened during the events of the movie. In the "Last Supper" Video it gives a nod to xenos being called bugs. (or that its a cameo, so I could be wrong)

Autism is a change in humanoid genetic encoding that has increased at an accelerated rate and the hypersensitivity must be addressed by the highest of quality aethetics in order for the individual experiencing it to feel better. Medications result in allergic reactions and damage to neural encoding... even worse is the damage when stress is forced on the individual. The stress of medicating away hypersensitivity triggers traumatic psychological damage. It's like being able to run and then being forced to tip toe around others. I'm 38 and have been terrorized by the medical system and law enforcement that are corrupt.

They even advertise gatherings where they pay 50 dollars for a woman that looks nice to them... she's trafficked with drugs and chained up in the place of whoever winds up recieving her.

But still at the end, humans gonna win
the xenomorphs are way too overpowered. I like the theory that they were engineered by an intelligent alien race in the distant past specifically to kill and destroy foreign alien life, that would at least explain why they are so overpowered even when operating in outside home turf
Hmm here’s an idea...how about we - this is just a thought - stop going towards the egg sack thingys on a strange planet
Just burn them.
Thats perfect. Stupeeeeed
Yep! What a dumb ass captain.
Well the captain was the first to ever encounter one, so he had no idea what to think. Curiosity got the better of him.
so true what happened to common sense
How many times is someone gonna walk up to an alien egg and just stare at it until it attacks their face
Nothing Notable until what an alien egg does becomes common knowledge in the alien universe
Nothing Notable its a requirement for a ridley scott sci-fi horror film
Nothing Notable I think the reason why characters do it always is because no character has had prior knowledge of what the eggs do and the human mind is meant to be curious
Nice observation, Bro.
Nothing Notable People are stupid, I actually think people would do it if it were real.

As a person with celiac disease, I approve this comment xd
I LOVE these movies, I've never cared about what the critics say about this franchise, I love the lore, I love the design, I love Geiger, I love it all. I just wish they would make something very, very, VERY dark, hypnotic, evil, deep, & very violent, something that highlights Geiger's work and something he would be proud of.
Nice…you like living in hell 🤡
Giger.
I totally agree. never cared what the critics say or what the reviews say. I loved this movie
i would much prefer a film based on a giger world with the space jockeys not men in suits the jockeys dont even have to talk i would also like to see more of gigers early creations on the planet and nobody created the xenos they have been around forever and we dont know where they have come from. cameron really did a number on gigers work

The Alien is incredibly fluid and lively. I love it.
That could be true IF we didn't already know what each inch of the Alien pretty much already looks like thanks to all of the previous films. Lack of visibility is simply a part of context and pacing which is essential for a any film...tension and release is what makes horror.
that has nothing to do with being fluid and lively, I do agree maybe trying to show less would work better like his first Alien film
Gerald Deliva not always. Let's just wait for the movie and then see what happens
Yes, don't listen to the idiots. The only reason they know it is CGI is because it must be , there are no real Aliens...and there are no animatronics that are that fluid robotically.
David Saintloth why bother responding? people will always have something to bitch about! I bet if they had used animatronics, people will still complain.
One of the best, and certainly the most underrated, entries in the franchise.
Its certainly better than Alien 3 and Resurrection

My personal favorite comment of all time!😂😂😂
I don't think the cgi on the xeno is bad. They can now make it be agile and fast. Back when they used suits the aliens would move somewhat clumsy so I think the cgi will help that out.
The point of the alien is not for it to be agile and fast. Making it some 100% CGI bullshit completely betrays the artistic merit of the original alien. The xenomorph is supposed to be a graceful (if such a thing can be said) creature of the shadows. Having the xenomorph be a man in a suit makes it much more unnerving, as it looks more human. The creature is essentially a metaphor for rape, and thus, humanizing the creature (i.e. making it a man in a suit) makes it that much creepier.
platypus ornitorrinco exactly. Also, if we think about it, then Alien Isolation should be the worst game of all of time because it changed the physical structure of the Alien to make it look more like an animal. When in reality it looks absolutely outstanding and is probably the best Alien game ever made. Recommended to listen the audio commentary made by Al Hope for Alien, he explains a lot there.
platypus ornitorrinco you have a good point
platypus ornitorrinco there is no "CGI" they actually went to another planet to film this, the aliens are real actors.
platypus ornitorrinco You clearly didn't see AvP:R. Sure, the movie was crap, but the Aliens and Predators were about 90% Animatronic/Guys In Suits. And that looked waaaaay better than this. With only a 40 mil. budget too.
This film has it all:
-THE OLD: this is a prequel to Alien, has eggs, facehuggers and a Xenomorph. It also has a spaceship with a likable crew!
-THE FRESH: this is the sequel to Prometheus, has David and Shaw returning, the planet is the Engineer home world, and there are Neomorphs (new aliens) and possibly even more surprises in store! There's a lot for you guys! Ridley Scott himself has said he doesn't like to tread on familiar ground, he likes to move forward! So most likely the xenomorph we see here isn't much of a focus in the film, only an obstacle at one point, most likely not even near the end. He also said this film WILL answer the question "Why did the Engineers want to destroy Earth?" and that this film will focus on the theme of immortality.
-GENRE: a thriller/horror/action mix, just like Prometheus.
I don't understand the whining about this trailer. It's going in the best direction for everyone! Some people are even whining about plotholes already. Really? You analyze something that isn't even there yet!?
The only issue I find is the CGI of the xeno at the end, it should be better, and hopefully it will be, they still have months to perfect it. That's it. Otherwise I'm hyped, this trailer is VERY promising.
^ This
I couldn't agree more!! :)
Eetu Pennanen marvellous comment if I do say so myself.
Eetu Pennanen You don't know if the crew is likeable until you've seen the film. You can't make a judgement based on trailers alone
Alan Smithee *the OLD*
For 18 years, I never knew the alien story continued beyond the 90s. I first watched it on vhs with a static tv in a barn. Ive had an unfinished story for years until I found out it kept going. Amazing lore that keeps you entangled in the story having detective thoughts. Prometheus was amazing and it left you with questions after every scene. I wasn't even able to smoke during the movie because it kept me so engaged. I love movies that keep you guessing and wondering whats going to happen next. Id give it a 9/10 would be 10 if we got more information and understanding of what was going on, but then it wouldn't be a thriller.
whether you like this movie or not, Michael Fassbender is fantastic as David, the devious android from the excellent Prometheus and Walter, the good-natured android. For me, he is the Best Supporting Actor in movies this year. He has one of the most unusual scenes I've ever seen in a movie before and he's brilliant in that scene and everything else he does. His unforgettable performance makes this movie worth watching!
I disagree
greg herried agreed.
I hated him... well David! haha
the movie sucks hard... just a lot of bad CGI and full retarded characters.
couldn't agree more
Aww, isnt childbirth a beautiful thing - Born out of love!
I hate every fan out there that wanted to see this alien garbage. I was looking forward to a more mysterious approach that Prometheus left everyone wondering. What a complete WASTE.........

The end is depressing as hell .
I forgot what happened gimme a recap pls
@@pokix3775 so when they thought everything was good after the conflict with the species (that was made by David) , they thought they escaped and David was dead . So they went back to hybernation stage to go to the specific planet as it was 8 years away . Daniel was the last person to go for hybernation and just right before she went to sleep , she found out that the robot was David , not walter . As she knew the ship contain 4000 people and embrios of many animals including human embrios . So it was terrorizing for Daniels (for viewers also) after knowing that David will experiment with all the people and will make specis after specis with the embrios mixing with the alien genes . So bacically he will make monsters and possibly he can go back to earth with the ship and destroy earth . Daniel just right before she went back to hybernation (as she was the last person to go back to sleep) , she found out . She screams and tries to come out from the machine but obviously it was too late and she went back to sleep .
For me the last scene was really really disturbing and depressing as hell .
@@anubhovgogoi3820 damn, okay thanks and he's doing this for the aliens because they let him survive I'm guessing? Its called "Covonent" which is like an agreement of sorts or a contract "I'll do this if you do that" David is destroying earth in return for him being stuck on the planet and him living the whole tumet
@@pokix3775 yeah it may be a possibility ........btw David is the one who created those species .
@@anubhovgogoi3820 yeah okay thanks been fun!

Juan Pablo Torres Ya know, back then we just sat down and watched cheesy flicks for shits and giggles
Juan Pablo Torres Bruh..Ridley's directing and it was written by the writer of Logan and the writer of Gladiator,Skyfall and the Aviator..so relax its gonna be awesome.
hey i see u on the official podcast comments
In a script where they put a gay couple in a Colonization mission just for the sake of "diversity", I doubt it's gonna be any good.
at least better than the overhated Prometheus is a victory XD
How many times do we have to see a scientist do something as stupid as stick their face over the top of a "face hugger" egg? Seriously, I mean, no one with any common sense would stick their face stark naked over something moving that they have never seen before, much less someone who was supposedly smart enough for a colonization trip such as this one. Please find a new way to introduce the face huggers to Alien movies. It's been 6 or 7 times that we have seen it work that same way.
With that said, I will still go see this movie in its first week.
Nexus Fantismo 😂
Nexus Fantismo i would, not sure if anyone else would but i sure would lol
Well, really just in the 3 Ridley Scott entries. In Aliens, they were colonists, not scientists, they didn't really know any better. In Alien 3 it was a dog, and in Alien Resurrection people were impregnated on purpose. But yes, in Alien, Prometheus and apparently this one, we see supposedly smart people nosing around scary alien biology when they really should be more careful.
"I'm Coyote Peterson, and I'm about to stick my face over a facehugger egg!"

You are so faint -hearted!!!
Goofiest part of the whole movie
On the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man - for precisely the same reasons. The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner', but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish.
yes, one of my favorite Quotes from that book
cringe worthy
lolol

Dolphins invented the wheel? They had wars?
P.S.: I can't wait to see New Yolphin :D

Am i the only person that actually loved this movie? Prometheus was a very good movie, a slow burner... this was balls to the walls stuff when it started... I really enjoyed it
I actually enjoyed it and re-watching it.
I feel bad for the crew they look poorly trained like regular people that worked a supermarket who were taught to fly a ship in space.
I liked it so much better than PROMETHEUS, which was colossally stupid.

remember how subtle the first alien trailer was? remember how it didnt show you the entire movie?
And i hate the need to add music over everything too, like that piano in the beginning. Everything about this film is inept, so it's suprising it's made by the guy who made the first one!
Uhcip it's a shame but every blockbuster needs a trailer like this to make sure people see it. Funnily enough I'd rather not see it now.
Ridley Scott has lost all elements of 'subtle' in his movies, he is a shade of what he used to be, it is sad to say
The people who make trailers are not neccesarily the same people who make the movie. The former is probably the marketing dept.
It was also VERY VERY scary....unlike this

There’s actually no hate this is probably the best alien movie
because it's trendy to hate on things for no particular reason, especially if everyone else is hating on that thing. People wanna fit in.

All of them
Abhishek Prasad considering these are prequels & took place before the first alien w/ripley, they're just curious.

Ridley scott is legendary.. Everyone criticized the movie. Tried to say funny things bla bla.. I've been waiting about alien quality movie for many years. Respect from istanbul dude.. we are waiting
Its the exact same movie they have been making since 1979
Without HR Giger and Dan Bannon, Ridley would be cleaning toilets. Blade Runner was great, but let's admit got lucky with the leftovers from Jodorowsky's aborted "Dune' film.
Jon Stauffer Edgy.
I'm still waiting for the day where they stop doing the whole "New Planet, finds alien shit, get attacked by facehugger" Like, when are they gonna implement these aliens into something else? like a worldwide epidemic? or a whole civilzation of zenomorphs? explain their existence?
Ridley Scott is the George Lucas of Alien.
I don't see why everyone is being bitchy about this film. Alien Covenant is trying to entice fans back into the franchise, by bringing back the Xenomorph as well as the new Neomorph, it will be interesting to see how this links to Alien because that's where Ridley Scott has said this sequence of films will end, just right before that film. I'm stoked for this movie. I hope it really does meet my expectations I love the Alien films
Adam Winn after this movie comes out, next year a new predator movie will come out and then the next year they will collide
I get your point. Having seen the original "Alien" back in 1979, it created a standard almost impossible to top, and once the "creature" was revealed, all the originality had passed. The film studios made a "franchise" of it for money and I think from all the documentaries I have seen, the writers, Scott and the actors from the 1979 film just wanted this pretty original story at the time to be successful. There was no narrative to continue it, so they have tried to make up one ever since. ;-)
Think about what made the first Alien interesting/scary. Then replay the cgi puppet smashing its face into a window a few times.
Adam Winn this just looks like another Prometheus though

I want them to make Prometheus 2 where we meet Ellen Ripley's grandfather. He wakes up from deep sleep and survives, goes back to earth, marries, has kids, and later teaches his granddaughter, Ellen to be a badass. He influences her to work in space. That would be really cool.
Want prometheus 2 so bad
WTF not only would that not work at all with the timeline, that sounds cliche as hell and would completely undermine Ripley as her own autonomous person

So what are we....some kind of Covenant?
Chase Hutchinson , Bingo- and we are somewhat protected. We just need to learn to watch out for ourselves and each other.
The ship's name is Covenant. But that should be a symbology for something in the movie.
Yeah we're a covenant. A _suicide_ covenant.
I want Something more Scientific!!!
Yes. At the end the Xenomorph turns into a Halo Elite, and from there they reproduce, make plasma weapons and attack humanity.
All you ppl bitching about the CGI alien at the end of the trailer plz understand its kind of impossible not to use CGI when your having the alien hang from a ship while trying to smash a window with its head. And watch the rest of the video plenty of scene where the alien is not CGI.
IKR!!!
finally!! someone with a brain
Well then maybe don't have the alien hanging from the ship in broad daylight. The point of the creature is to remain in the shadows and move slowly and almost gracefully. It is a walking metaphor for rape. It carefully and silently emerges from darkness to violently assault its victims, much like a rapist. It also serves to make the xenomorph much creepier by having it be a man in a suit. Obviously, this doesn't look good when you show it in its entirety in broad daylight. However, that's the whole point. It ceases to be legitimately scary when you have some CGI abomination running around in daylight. Take for example the original Alien, as well as the film Jaws. Both never showed their creatures in their entirety for more than a few seconds (and even then, the creatures weren't 100% shown). Even though in these films' cases, this was not necessarily intentional, it greatly improved the film in the end. Not showing the creature keeps it mysterious and unknown. And what do humans fear more than the unknown? I'm sorry, but if you think having the xenomorph be some CGI bullshit is good, you have absolutely no understanding of what makes a truly good movie, a movie that you look back on in thirty years and say, "That is a classic." It is the exact reason the original Alien is so remembered in the first place. This film will more than likely not be remembered in 30 years because of its idiotic, ignorant decision to go with CGI.
Jesse Mock there is no "CGI" they actually went to another planet to film this, the aliens are real actors.
Rick DLC 😂
Alien: "Alien vs. Truckers"
Aliens: "Aliens vs. Marines"
Alien 3: "Alien vs. Convicts"
Alien Resurrection: "Aliens vs. Pirates"
Prometheus: "Aliens vs. dumbasses"
Alien Covenant: "Aliens vs. Couples"
Prometheus would be scientist tho
I kind of get what Icarus is talking about.
aliens vs predators
IcarusDawn lol
I think he mean Colonists cause that's technically why they landed on the planet in the first place from their dialogue to colonize it, hmmm feels like the Company is still doing their shady shit wonder when in the timeline this takes place in?
Rewatched the movie for the first time in years. Was tied to some bad times lol.. but I didn't entirely understand the the movie before.. now after context of life.. this movie is a masterpiece
You're kidding, right?
@@ponyclub3198 I am not. It's called learning context, you should try it. A little jarring at first but everything makes so much more sense afterwords. For absolutely everything in life.

Rip y'all a new one
Game over, man. Game over.
smoking or non smoking
There better be more to this film than stumble across Alien eggs > get infected > fight some Aliens> one person survives> the end.
Pixiedust8399 I suspect there will be (hope so anyway!) the ship from Prometheus, the mushrooms with weird spores, the thing coming out of the guys back, flashes/glimpses of an alien creature that doesn't look like original xenomorph. Think this trailer is almost to fool us into thinking this is going to be a standard alien movie.
I hope so!
So I'm guessing Master Chief is still asleep
I don't get it.
you are a dumb ass this isn't fucking halo
AwesomeGoldenGamers because in halo you fight the covenant
HALO, stupid.
VortexProductions I don't get how Halo related to this.
Covenant featured the Alien the way it should have been, fast, fit, menacing and angry.
I hate watching trailers these days , they show the whole movie
True, they just want us to buy the ticket
Kris B this trailer showed 2 hours of the movie?
EpicJoystik no it showed us what's going to happen within those two hours of the movie.
Kris B you mean like how the Star Wars trailers showed Han Solo being killed, or how Jurassic world trailers shows the Indominus Rex being killed by the mosasaur?
Critical that's the point of every fucking film. Yes, they want you to enjoy what they've made but they need money to make this film and others.
I'm getting Vietnamese flashbacks from Alien Isolation.
SirAkai xD underrated comment
I watched this in my theater room and it was damn amazing. I don’t care what other people are saying I just loved it.
I myself loved it, idc wht other ppl think
I even enjoy a film which has only 5.4 IMDB but I wil rate like above 7.0
that means you are not watching prometheus 2012. we've been waiting too long and all we got are another actors with the same role and plot. they landed to a strange planet and got killed by an infectious alien disease, instead ot continue with the first movie which is prometheus
taste
The experience is indeed amazing on its own... but this is bitch slapped sequel...😑
@@faqeeha5291 6.4*
This Film is Spectacular giving what we know as humans. This was remarkable how David and Walter understand one another and alien evolution. Wow . I'm ready for part 2 3 or whatever.....🔥
The piano sounds like interstellar's theme
Thought the same thing
Fr
I couldn’t recognize where it was from😂
Yeahh 😂💯
I was literally searching through the comments to see if anyone else had noticed
Not gonna lie, I like the cgi xenomorphs. Probably the best shot is the one dashing between the alarm lights. The last one is fine too but would've preferred it to be in a darker shot.
Anarchy Mode there is no "CGI" they actually went to another planet to film this, the aliens are real actors.
Anarchy Mode The last shot looked amazing. Did you see the lighting on its face?? AWESOME!
Rick DLC It wasn't funny the first time! Give it up!
John Desalvo there is no "CGI" they actually went to another planet to film this, the aliens are real actors.
there will be suit one too.
I already know the short haired girl is the one who survives. a classic case of ctrl C ctrl V from the Alien screenwriters
Tommy Ticklebum We don't know that
Tommy Ticklebum pretty sure that's Ripley's mother
+caldarislayer HEAVY_TANKO If she does turn out to be Ripleys mother, then that means three generations of the Ripley family have had experiences revolving around the Xenomorphs. And considering the Xenomorphs are rare enough that the people in this universe don't even know of their existence may very well be the dumbest piece of storytelling imaginable.
If that does turn out to be true they should rename the movie *Alien: Coincidence*.
Dude, I love your comment.

You BOTH would be excellent at CinemaSins.
However, nothing can top "Superman being spared by Batman because their mothers' names are the same" for stupidity.
Am I the only one who thought this alien movie was actually one of the best? Especially for the rep it has.
I'm rooting for the aliens.
spencerc6 i always do too
You're in luck
In the next movie an alien arrives on Earth, invades Hollywood and puts a final nail in the coffin of Humanity and the Alien Franchise by killing everyone. At least there aren't any Predators in this one.
Jeremy Kaplan And as soon as they get to ridley scott, the movie abruptly cuts to black. True mind fuck

See kids this is why you wear your space helmet when visiting exotic planets.
Holy Sanctus didn't help the first guy in Alien
it'd be better to say "don't stand next to the egg thats opening that contains an unknown life form"
Holy Sanctus but if you actually watched the first movie the face hugger burns right through the crappy lil helmet anyways cx
Kane never took his helmet off... how'd that work out?
Holy Sanctus have you seen alien?? the helmet did not help for shit
How about,"Don't stay near a giant oval shaped egg that contains a life form on a exotic planet"
Honestly a great movie, and the fact that David literally did some genetic engineering and experimentation on the Xenomorph species is just fking awesome. We got probably the coolest variants of the Xenomorphs outside of the books. Seriously epic variants, the one st the end is my personal favorite, waaaaaay more violent, stronger, faster and more agile.
Shouldn't have had the unnecessary backstory, contradicts so much from the original films and explains too many unnecessary things. Ruined the mystery which is what made it "alien". Also now that we know it was created on earth by a humanoid robot with was created by a human, they technically aren't aliens now. They fucked up everything.
they actually made the Aliens scary again.
***** it seemed tense in the trailer, and the Alien moves really quickly.. could be some intense chase scenes. That always gets me, when they're right behind them in a chase.
+ugaaa5 People get scared by different things. The correct question is, are YOU five for asking such an ignorant question.
peter stringer thats what Ridley does
91lifetime23 not in the first Alien, though the slow menace in that film is amazing. Alien for me is the best of them.
***** im always optimistic, i love the first 3 Alien films, though my optimism was dashed for the 4th and AVP films... those were terrible.
There's literally the word "Alien" in the title, dafq are you people expecting? shrek?
It's never ogre
Definitely not Dendi it's all ogre now
Definitely not Dendi Shrek had to get *some* kind of help to keep ppl outta his swamp
Do aliens have layers?
We *all* have layers.
Little do they know they have Magneto in the crew
I can't tell you how much i love this movie.
no birds, no animals, no M41a pulse rifles...
jajajajajajaj THAT JUST GREAT.....GAME OVER, MAN. GAME OVER :(
spidermann5000 hahahaha that is a very sad day.
it feels weird to see Xenomorphs in broad daylight....
hmm so far in my movie experiences, me too nvr seen a film where xenomorphs roamin in bright daylight...
They used to appear only in dark environments in previous movies probably to hide imperfections since those were guys in a suit or animatronics. Nowadays's CGI eliminates the issue.
true, they are more like night crawlers.
***** Daylight...swimming pools and forest at night is not daylight. Moon just steals light from sun
they mostly come out at night... mostly
It's gonna be a completely gory horror movie...until the Aliens find Franco's Weed stash.
XD
You can tell it was having a bad reaction to the drugs. That's why it was banging it's head on the window
WHERES sigourney weaver??
I didn't see Franco in any trailers
Daniel belfiglio Onde está Sigourney Weaver???
An absolutely badass bombastic score, great cinematography, and dope CGI. I think a lot of the choices that some of the characters make are relatively stupid, except for Fassbender’s “David,” who carries this movie forward. That ending instantly had me anticipating a sequel and what that my entail with David returning to Earth with the Covenant filled with Xenomorphs. I Just hope it hasn’t been canceled, and I especially hope Ridley Scott doesn’t dropout of filming it. 🤞
Yeah I'd be fully down for another alien movie.
choices? people in real life indeed are stupid, especially in panic and/or carrying out actions not planned in advance
@@hotdog9262 Astronauts, not so much. Think of Apollo 13. They were in danger and once they realized it they remained calm and did everything to get home.
@@alexanderg1297 yup a perfect example..astronauts on a meticulously planned government mission. a farcry from the improvising civilians in the film. that said.. the story imo would have been better with a slightly more clever people onboard
Yes because characters like Kane, Dallas, Lambert, Gorman and Apone never did anything stupid.....
*I enjoyed the movie although it did have some faults. I'll admit that. It wasn't perfect but enjoyable. ✅🙂*
Hey it’s you
I thought it was terrible compared to the original one
Some faults - all this movie is a big fault :)
some fault? SOME? There was almost NOTHING in order!!
Each one of the character's was a nervous wreck.
They went to a planet for the FIRST TIME and did NOT wear any helmet or breathing device?!
And then of cause, they breathed something in that killed them.
Sry, thia would be a highly expensive and highly scientific adventure! No one as dumb as each one of the crew members was would be let on such a mission, let alone be in command!
that Movie had the same RIDICOULOUS STUPID flaws as Prometheus ...
why do they keep making those ridicoulously stupid space-movies?
Is it for US-Audiences only? Because THEY wouldn't notice how extremely stupid everything is about this movie, except the initial setting?
I am already sick and tired of bad/stupid horror movies ... but space horror movies have total different cringe level of stupidity.
@JapaneseGiant Lizard1234 nah, their frustration is not aimed at the guy, just the overall disaster the new cinema has become... and I understand them...
milking & milking the same ideas, using the original gold & reducing it to a mere perversion... its just discusting
why is everyone in this trailers comments talking like they already seen the movie? "this movie lacks artistic flare and has devolved from the original aliens" I'm sorry i forgot you can see into the future and already know the movie enough to compare it to the others, if you feel a couple 2:30 minute trailers gave you enough information to say it's worse than the others then you are not credible. It's like me judging a meal from the writing on the the menu it just doesn't work. Anyway the movie looks great, even the trailer is giving me that claustrophobic aliens feel and i can't wait to find out what happens.
Trailer is a disappointment because it lacks any sense of style and class. It reveals the most exciting points of the narrative without masking them to create true suspense. Its very similar to what you would expect from a Michael Bay trailer, rather than that of a truly visionary Director. Its still going to be a great movie, but based on how much is revealed in the trailer, I wouldnt expect many surprises in the theater. The story will be very linear with bad CG( yes that CG looks very bad)
If you've seen a trailer and then the movie in at least the last 10 years or so, you know that most trailers spoil the whole movie.
If you combine what you see in the Covenant trailer with the garbage they released as Prometheus, you get a pretty good picture if this disaster called a movie.
If it wasn't for Alien and Aliens being such masterpieces, I wouldn't care at all, but since they are, I do care.

"Why don't we put her in charge?" That was the best quote about Newt! lol

E.T. Go Home I don't think he knows 😅
Hope not all the Alien scenes are CGI....show H.R. Giger some love for god sakes.
That's the only issue I have with this so far, everything else looks great.
Hope not
oh come on, they were dancing on his grave while he was still alive. no chance here buddy
I remember watching it a few years ago but man is the ending disturbing. I love movies with disturbing, dramatic or sad endings but this film was something else. I saw that people think this is one of the worst films in the franchise but i think this one was disturbing and violent so i liked it.
The video begins at 0:00
where am i He's right tho
Mr Email Well, you're not wrong, I'll tell you that.
You guys are life savers
This is youtube, babe. There all videos begin at 0:00
thanks
This looks like it has a hell of a lot of potential. Potential is the key word, the CGI on the Alien looks a little wonky but I think we maybe in for the 3rd best Alien film 😉
***** great to hear they will be using practical effects too! Just hope they can work on the 'floaty' or 'weightless' looking Aliens!
Walter Sean I thought the CGI in the final shot was great
Walter Sean there isnt a true Xenomorph in it buddy, there is two different species a Neomorph and Protomorph, i think the Protomorph is ment to be really tall which might be the one hanging off the ship and its arms and legs are crazy long
MilkGames 4 it looks fantastic on the final shot! Could just be me, not seen these guys jump about in a long time!
HyperViper94 wow! Wasn't aware of that, I love the Alien universe but never heard of them before? Protomorph could be the big bad of the film you think?
Suddenly everyone's a critic, you guys should work for rottentomatoes.
What disappointed me most about this movie was that the alien civilization was not explored. How they lived, talked, ate, would have been very exciting to see. This is what I wanted to see. And the most important question- 'why they wanted to kill the human race', was never answered.
The movie instead takes a different turn. In one quick scene, the whole alien civilization was destroyed by David. Quite disappointing.
Ive read somewhere that the reason that they want to kill humanity is because they are building AI's that eventually kill them! As if they have some future seeing or visions. Kinda makes sense
exactly!! I was left with SO many questions after watching this, and I watched it over and over to see if I missed something. It just leaves you hanging, esp. like you said, when they could have put in so many different but important little details. and that darn David. lol.
