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.

@Jem587 The embargo officially lifts Saturday May 6th @ 8:45 PM pst. Because of the time difference with other countries this why some are saying they are leaving doing reviews till the Sunday

I have been totally obsessed today with checking out the #aliencovenant hashtag...it was awesome seeing McBride, Fass and Katherine on the Green Carpet.   They all looked really dapper.  Katherine looked really classy.

Did not do any work.

My son is at school in England and he is going to see it next week.  I've told him he must remain in the cone of silence until I see it.  He really liked Prometheus. 

 

Today I have been dedicated to post on as many topics as possible until I pass out from drinking too many beers.

I seen a few negative comments from the Koreans, but no doubt Davids Bombardment will spark some ideas in the North ;)

Probably people who have no clue about the Alien Mythos or story.

I have heard a few weeks ago, which i passed on to Chris about someone who has seen the Movie and i wont give to much away.

But Praises are for the attention to detail for the most part with the odd flaw in how some things did not come across as good as others.

The movie is a brutal slasher, that is similar paced to Aliens, those expecting a Prometheus type movie will be a bit disappointed as its not linked that much. It seems to be a Fan Service Popcorn flick like Alien R is, with some of Alien 3 thrown in with a bit of Prometheus.

Seemed to say it may please Fanboys but could disappoint Alien Fans and Prometheus ones.    It lacks the Philosophy etc of Prometheus, does not quite deliver Alien Horror but more a Alien 3 but most of it is a more Gory Alien Resurrection.

They give it a 6/10 and rate it as on par with Alien 3 and Prometheus.

Quite a Predictable movie not helped by the amount of footage released, and has 3 Twists but 2 are so predictable.

Has some of the flaws that Prometheus had with Characters not being fleshed out, only same amount who you care for.  Big note towards Lope... (Poor Lope).

And those who picked Scientific Faults with Prometheus will have a field day... as well those who did not get Milburn/Fifield and Shaw.

That review doesn't make too much sense to me. I cannot imagine anybody trying to emulate Alien 3 or Alien Resurrection. That would be box office poison. Ridley Scott knows better.

They mean as in terms of the threat and feel i think...

Not quite Plots.

For shame. For all Chris has done for us- his review cannot be waited for? To each his /her own.

Big D - Did you manage to watch the green carpet premier in London?

There are a few links to it on this thread and the whole thing is recorded on comingsoon.net

The review you mention seems to contradict the ' Internet experts' that were being interviewed 

One classed it as orgasmic and another - the best of The series!?

Everyone asked gave positive reviews?

I m very concerned because I m reading a lot of crazy spoilers from London Premiere on the NET about [Spoiler]:

(Shaw's fate) 

(I m afraid it is true)

despite a little crazy rumors, overall, it was a good movie.

@GDTiH yep, universally positive. Zero negative reviews. Nitpickera, sure, but NONE said it was a 6/10...all gave it a 75%PLUS and best of the series, or at least on par with Alien 1 review.
