I was afraid it would be a copy/paste of the same story. Thank the maker it wasn't. It dug deeper to the mythos set in Alien/Prometheus.
The bad; I saw all the major plotpoints miles away. Maybe because of the trailers and pre-release clips like the last supper.
HBO released a featurette snippet with a massive spoiler in it, too.
But it is a very beautiful film, with some minor changes, like the crew meaning to go on the planet in search of their god(s). Bad make up aside, Weyland is searching a way to meet his creators, so they could grant him his immortality. It might not have been what everyone wanted. But even without the xenomorphs the film holds my attention.
And the visuals, oh boy the visuals. Still vividly remember my first time seeing it in the cinema. Movie where the 3d didn't feel forced.
It's been several months since I saw it, but from what I gathered, the Engineers that had survived in cryo had locked themselves away in an attempt to hide from whatever had gone wrong, I'm assuming one of the eggs/other experiments had gotten loose to some extent.
He impregnates her when they have sex, and his infection is what causes her mutated pregnancy.
Not that I've previously cared to overthink this, but that would mean Shaw was sharing blood with the proto-xenomorph. Sure, the alien's blood doesn't necessarily have to infect her the same way the black goo does, but still you'd think blood from an organism as diverse from humans as the xenomorph would have some affect on her vascular system. Overthinking it, I know. The emergency abortion scene still rocks.
I should get around to seeing it by next weekend I'm guessing, and while I know I won't like the CGI Xenomorphs and whatnot, I've heard it's pretty horror driven throughout, which was missed in 'Prometheus,' so I think I may enjoy it.
The tentacle-thing grew inside Shaw's womb via infected sperm and was attached to an umbilical cord, sharing her blood. Whereas traditional facehuggers appear to reside high up in the esophagus (can't imagine how they would dwell in the windpipe without obstructing breathing) and ostensibly don't swap fluids with the host.
That's actually a very good point. You'd think the facehugger would have to absorb something from the host to take on its characteristics. Perhaps the transfer is just one way, however.
Reading up on human pregnancy a little, I actually just discovered that no blood is shared between the mother and the fetus. Nutrients, waste, oxygen, and carbon dioxide is passed while blood is not. Somehow.
I'm bummed the original composer from prometheus didn't do the score for covenant
Are you referring to Prometheus or Covenant, here?
Some music from Prometheus pops up here, too. Plus I must mention that Kurzel did a great job with the new film.
prometheus
has anyone seen covenant yet?
and if so, without spoilers are any of the questions from Prometheus answered?
I have seen it.
Some questions are answered. Not all.
I heard that they may do one thats set inbetween prometheus and covenant
but assuming they dont do that what happens?
Scott originally said that but has since stepped back on those comments and been far more vague with what he is doing next.
I won't be surprised if it actually is a Covenant sequel or is somehow set both before and after with a different crew of characters.
The last scene of Covenant was such a tease that they would be foolish to not take it further on from there.
I liked Covenant a lot, unlike the legions of so-called Alien fans on the internet who have voiced disdain over it.
I too had to think of Blade Runner while watching certain scenes in Covenant. Elsewhere I was also reminded of 2001, even.
