Alien: Covenant immediate first impressions

Good enough for me, and VERY happy to know it's a highly re-watchable movie!! Looking fwd to the more in-depth review but for now, I'm just happy for this much! :)

BTW, VERY sharp-looking attire, you Genuinely look like you properly belong there!!

Chris Hmmmm I just read your review for Prometheus from 2012 and you gave it 5 stars. I kinda anticipated that people who liked Prometheus too much are going to have some issues with "Alien Covenant". I hope this is not a scenario where the aliens are just the bait they used to make us watch a movie about A.I. In that case it would be even more deceiving than Prometheus.

Blackwinter-witch I thought he was Tom Hardy, who by the way was at the premiere too lol

Great to hear!  Looking forward to hearing more -

Also want to say that the attire is solid, bro - very sharp threads.

Chris Thank you for the heads up and don't forget about the spoiler free review!!!

Did I miss something stating who the pic was of? I might have leapt to a conclusion it was Chris, as I figured it most likely was, given the Topic...and I had 3 housemeows in my face at the time demanding treat tributes :D

Blackwinter-witch That must be Chris. What I meant is he looks like Tom Hardy in that picture :-)

OMG at the avpgalaxy forum people are tearing each other apart. Alien fans are really passionate, no doubt about it lol The contradictions are puzzling though. Some say Covenant is a straight Prometheus 2, others say there's not enough of Prometheus in it.

That's definitely me in the pic hahaha and thanks guys! I wasn't wearing the jacket that came with it, but it was a 3 piece wool black suit. Very comfortable and relatively classy for this event. I wanted to represent us well. Glad to hear you guys dig it! 

And yeah Covenant is a new beast all in its own I would say. It's hard to explain my likes and dislikes in a non-spoiler, few paragraphs. I'm still collating... Haha but without a doubt it requires a repeat viewing. The pacing was rather quick and if you blinked you might've missed things.

OH, ok then, all's good!! Yeah, having a buncha housemeows 'helping' one to Internet...they're NOT as helpful as they like to think. :)

Chris

I would say that you represented the forum, membership and yourself extremely well and very Tastefully!

I love movies that have high re-watchability value, as you can always find little things you missed earlier. I'm just really happy that the review is Positive and gives us an idea of the movie's 'character', and it sounds like it has a strong one!

Forget the movie Chris I'm just gonna watch you!

Where is the jacket or the vest for that .....

Chris

Forget the review...what'ya doing later handsome? ;)

yes chris i'll definitely be your date on the 10th. schwing! there should be an alien/sci-fi fan singles forum/app/website or something. or maybe i'm just a needy lonely nerdy wiener 

Thanks for the update and review. Can't wait for your spoiler filled review : D

Hey Chris!! Finally I am able to see you as a person, not as an admin in typed letters! Your dress, hairstyle and attitude reminds me of Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode,- thats a compliment! Even if you maybe dislike the frontman... Well,- back to the hardly awaited review: I know it is very tricky to write one spoiler-free,- but please give your best and try not to go to deep in the storyboard or twists. Thank you so very much for your work and shared time with us here! Best greetz from Germany! 

Just wondering, would this movie viewing experience be ruined if knowing the spoilers beforehand?

For instance, when I first watched Alien 3, I had no clue to realize Ridley will be dead at the end, and I was so glad I didn't know it beforehand. So in Alien Covenant, is there any big twists (or some kind of big moments) that it's better left unknown for fans? Thanks

CHRIS - How very fantastic! I am so pleased you enjoyed yourself during the premier and am very interested in reading your full review of Alien: Covenant. As an aside: you look quite dashing in the above picture! I am exceptionally proud to have you as the face of our community! :)

@Jonesy

Ripley,- not Ridley! Or did you mean Scott fell mouse-dead from chair after watching Alien3!? Haha. 

I know about 3 twists so far: 2 predictables and one unexpected big third one! So I personally dont want to know more. Its more than enough to know thats "all about David" as Chris mentioned.
