What happended RIDLEY? Time for Hicks and Ripley

dk, yeah even Alien Resurrection is less incoherent than the mess Prometheus and manages to tell a story better as well, regardless of how people find the quality of it. It has better pacing too imo.

*CASTING MEGA ASS BARRIER +3 ON MYSELF* 

(It's true though)

joylitt Caveat- David was outstanding. I have to agree that the Juggernaut crash was the crown jewel of the movie- and the cartoonish running inline with the path of the crashing ship really pushed it over the edge.

Well Dk if you think that was cartoonish then you are going to have a field day when you finally get to see Covenant. You get campy moments added to that, like when they ask David how long do storms last on the planet and he says "Daaays... weeeeks... sometime months" in a tone that reminds me of Vincent Price doing a self parody. So many WTF moments....

I am more confident about AC. As David said- As long as it is no worse.

Remember in Prometheus after Vickers torches Holloway? That is the moment when the movie stops making much sense, it is very surreal with Shaw fleeing the medics in a very unconvincing way, with nobody trying to stop her while she performs the surgery, etc. That is the feeling you get  while watching Covenant as soon as the second act kicks in.

joylitt Unfortunately I do remember what you describe. I didn't like Shaw or any one else except David- Vickers and Janick were ok but under utilized IMO. And Weyland would have better if they just got Patrick Stewart and made him up a bit.

Here is what the Juggernaut crash scene reminded me of:

way too much use of CGI in this film, yes.

Not sure I could stomach puppets. I think CGI is the lesser evil.

It's taken me awhile to get used to the Hulk being CGI or Groot......But I really can't see a better way.

CGI is 50 years away from being okay...100 years from being great....2017 is only about 10 years from the Avatar breakthrough.
