Some reviews have been making their way online as the movie premiered in Korea and today in London. 

 

Attached is is a link for those reviews. There is an embargo on what can be talked about but some stuff has made its way onto Reddit. 

 

The good old news is that the reviews have been positive thus far.

I think Britain gave it a 15 Certificate which meant people had to be over 15? Whatever- as long as it is good I don't care how they rate it.

As for the rating, I have no idea. I know that here in the US it is "R" but that could be intense scenes, nudity and language. 

 

As for the reviews, good thus far and Chris twittered that he will be doing a write up in the next few days. The embargo ends tomorrow, so I am sure that we will see spoilers about the plot tonight at midnight.

I would rather wait for Chris to get ducks in a row for a few days- jet lag and all and do it right instead of impulsive reviews done right off the cuff.

Yeah, I think he is going to do that. He had mentioned in his tweet that there was much to chew on and ponder, which is a good thing and i know that he will write up a good review and analysis.

It would be great if they gave him a press DVD so he could revisit parts he may have forgotten so he can give a measured review.

Long time lurker first time poster - just to let you guys know Paul Shirey from JoBlo tweeted that the film is quality: "AlienCovenant is an intense, strange and nightmarish continuation of the franchise. A great companion to Prometheus & the Alien mythos."

How true this is or whether it will hold up? I don't know. But it's definitely encouraging.

 

Also: apologies if this repeating anything from the link or elsewhere on the forum. I don't think it is, tho.

Hey LV, I just saw that tweet not too long ago. Let us up that his words ring true when we see it.

It would have been great to see the Engineers return and destroy David and take the Xeno eggs in this film but it will go as we already know...it would have made such a powerful impact, but like the prometheus it just fell flat on its face...the first script was powerful, energetic.

At the end only Danny McBride and Katherine Waterson's character survive. David killed Shaw and replaces Walter as the robot, while holding the embryos on the escape ship. It is implied that he will continue to experiment upon humans and eventually become the creator of the Xenomorph, and that is why Weyland Corp. created a second version (Walter) since David is abit fucked up in the head.

Still hard to tell...But good so far...using original alien music...great idea I was hoping for that. It was so good ...if it ain't broke don't fix it!

After pondering things a bit, I'll wait for Chris's review. Then I know it's a review I can place some trust in as he's a fellow Fan and the Forum Admin. ;)

IN SPACE THERE IS NO WARNING
