A truly excellent analysis. This is one smart guy and I agree with just about everything he has to say in this video.

I've been waiting for cinema wins to make a video about Alien: Covenant, I really love the Prometheus one they made, really good analysis and positivity.

Great video but watch it not gain as much traction because it's cooler to hate on stuff unfortunately.

^ That's the sad reality of internet today, people like to hate on things just to get attention or to make themselves look smart, I remember when the first trailer for arrival was released, everyone was shitting on it with comments like "How can aliens that have mastered interstellar travel not speak English?" and other jokes with Amy Adams having sex with aliens (like she did with Superman). But when the movie came out, most of that went extinct very quick, because the movie was good (there are still some trolls roaming in the comment sections).

But that's the internet today.

These type of vids encourage blind fanboyism as much as the negative vids encourage hate. You can watch something and acknowledge the good AND bad rather than just skewing it heavily to one side because extremes are easier to defend.

"You can watch something and acknowledge the good AND bad" Indeed but in the case of Covenant a lot of stuff is being misconstrued negatively on purpose because they are unhappy with the direction and vids like this balance it out with facts, not blind fanboyism. But I guess Honest Trailer is more acceptable despite the blind hate, correct?

No covenant just has a lot of problems and just because some members on this forum like it doesnt take those away over some conspiracy theory that everyone else is against it. Honest trailers comes out and its totally off base but this comes out and the comments all saying it's spot on when it is equally off base just in the other direction that the fans of the movie happen to agree with.

I could not follow that guy's chattering all through the end of the review and as much as I saw it did not bring anything not debated here yet.

I was not patient enough to wait for the bad stuff about the movie but I don't believe it's new either.

One thing that is interesting is that it is a very polarizing movie so those that support it and those that are against it exaggerate their likes and dislikes. Am I one of the few that thinks that it is a movie that is OK, sort of in the middle?
