I can say, without a doubt, I am pretty hyped up about the upcoming movie. I just recently started watching all the old Alien movies. Damn I love them. Even though they are quite old now, they still are pleasent to watch. I got them on Blu Ray and watch them upscaled to 4k. I gotta tell you guys those old movies look bad ass.
Those movies are all in all just good entertaining movies in all regards. Cinematogrophy, interesting-emotional connected Characters and character development, good stories and backstories, well chosen Art of Horror and Scares. Less jump scares, like just to serve the purpose of having them in the movies. More like the over all feel of Danger and unpleasent (scaring) atmosphere.
I feel and think in the movies from the early 80s. Action/Horror Movies made in Hollywood have had kinda Pause scenes for deeper story development and building a larger scale world around the characters and plot.
Nowadays a lot of big hollywood blockbuster based on the genre they are way more fast paced. Jmup from one jumpscare - another visual effect - another jumpscare and quicker and quicker. The playtime of a movie doesnt allow much more time for those talked about pauses in the movie. Thats kinda disappointing to see.
Critics say the new generation of movie goers want everything quicker and faster and more effectful rather than boring talks of characters.
Best example Star Wars Rogue One i had high hopes for a good Star Wars movie. I went out of the movie rather disappointment. Poor charaterisation. In my opininon a star wars movie full of scenes to just show big visual effects fights and such. The story and backstory was very little to go by. No time for longer talks of the characters. Move from one action scene to another.
Same with King Kong Skull Island. That movie felt also rushed through.big Spider Scene - big tree monster scene couple of seconds - big octopus scene - etc. I remeber sitting in the cinema thinking why so quick i want longer shots with those other creatures and monsters too. Just a couple of seconds maybe longer or a minute or so. Dont know. I felt like unpleased cause how quick the scenes were going by.
I really hope Ridley Scott sticks and goes back to the roots of slow build ups and a scary unpleasent long lasting through the movie wype.
Not a quick rushed, boring, no emotional feelings to characters, full of jumpscared horror movie bull**** a lot of horror movies are today.
I dont want to be disappointed, again. Please!
Maybe I should lower my expectations?!
I hate The Force Awakens for it's weak ass story and disliked Rogue One for it's flat characters. Don't get me started on Jurassic World.
I am sick of shitty reboots, sequels and prequels. But i don't mind Alien: Covenant, because although i am not a fan of Prometheus, i think it brought a lot of new things into the Alien universe. The new Jurassic Park or Force Awakens brought nothing.
I am still worried about Covenant tho. Because i feel like Ridley was pressured into including actual xenomorphs in this one. My theory is that in order to make his proper sequel to Prometheus (Awakening), he had to give the studio a proper Alien film.
I am afraid that they will end this film on a huge cliffhanger, i am also afraid of unnecessary violence "to please the fans".
