I didn't mind Prometheus. It had some factual flaws but I thought it was okay.
I've watched this one 3 more times since I posted the spoilers.
Its still filled with stupidity.
A bluray will be nice because I can see some nice cinematography going on but that's about it.
Prometheus isn't a prequel to Alien
I was aware of that - it is a backstory based future event from alien that tries to explain why the craft was on LV-426.
Ridley should have walked away
That, sir, is an understatement
I figure he must have been drunk while directing this bonkers script and play.
Either that or, He's using it as a resume for syfy originals with The Asylum.
one small city on an out of the way planet
This also irked me. A race of engineers that seeded Earth all that time ago and they only inhabit one planet? Of course, you could consider that Prometheus ended with them on their way to the Engineer Homeworld.
Christian mythology focus Ridley has going down, and the concept of hell. There's a reason the movie has "Covenant" in the title.
Which is another break from the Alien Universe.
Alien 3 had the religious inmates thing going on but it was limited to that facility and that movie.
Alien 3 tanked too.
The Alien franchise doesn't need or want religious overtones because Giger Aliens are simply bad as hell anyway.
David cannot have achieved what he did
Oh, I can see how he did what he did in this film and why he did it in the previous film BUT...
We don't need Fastbender as a Weaver contrast. Now we have a bad guy to hate instead of a heroine to follow. That is so broken. Bad guys are all over the multi-episode stories of TV shows too. I'm so sick of it.
I could write a better movie than Covenant. Anyone that understands the Alien Universe could too.
