While I enjoyed the film upon it's initial release back in May,i like many couldn't help but be a little disappointed with the final product.After all,like so many here,i spent months running theory after theory,obsessing over every little detail from the trailers,only to find i was wrong at every turn.That's not necessarily a bad thing,meaning the film was able to suprise me still,if not underwhelm. The film is obviously imperfect,never fully realizing it's full potential,but that's true of every film since Alien 3 to be honest.Upon my second viewing i was able to let go and forgive it for what it isn't,and accept it for what it is,another worthy addition to the Alien franchise.Where this one truly excels,for me at least,is David and Walter.All the human characters,while a little more well rounded than Prometheus,were secondary to me.Even all the Alien action took a back seat here.This is just my opinion,i liked the movie when i saw it in theaters,loved it when I watched it on DVD the other night.Over time I feel much like Alien 3,Covenant might gradually be more accepted by fans.Any one else feel as i do?
Nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn't let you in heaven for
Me to. it went from about a 7/10 in my book to an 8.5/10 over 3 veiwings.
I think the biggest problem with seeing t theators for me is that if you watch every single trailer and promotional image, there is like no new shots in the movie.
every single set piece was in some type of trailer or image, and I had seen literaly every single shot with the xenomorph in it before I watched it. they should definatly market less and let us be surprised.
