    Alien: Covenant (Ridley Scott)

    Quote Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
    That's bollocks. People complain about Prometheus because it presented more questions than answers- but at least it tried to do something new. Now people complain about this movie because it answers questions (but not the ones I want!), and is basically a remake of Alien. It's a lose lose with audiences and it's frustrating as fuck to read.



    This couldn't be more incorrect. Prometheus was cut... zero slacks.
    Here's where I think your argument falls down:

    1. Trying something different =/= good
    2. Answering questions =/= good

    Pretty straight forward. And as I said, Scott has taken something that didn't need explaining and made it convoluted and inept.

    As if those were the only two things I liked about both films. I couldn't have cared at all if any questions were answered in Covenant. Which is why I don't care about the Queen question. Those are nice to haves. Not musts.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?
