Alien: Covenant - A Review

Source: IMBb - Alien: Covenant

I went with a friend to see Alien: Covenant last night, and we were surprised to find it was more of a comedy than an actual scary movie. I don't think they intended it to be funny, but we laughed a lot. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the film - that will always happen for me when there are so many stupid characters who do dumb things and therefore end up dead.

The whole movie plotline wouldn't have even existed if not for one very idiotic decision early on that set the spaceship on an unplanned course. "Oh yeah, let's go check out this mysterious planet that is just PERFECT, but that we somehow never found before when we scanned everywhere for suitable planets." The captain was warned not to divert from the planned course, but he just took it under advisement and went ahead anyway and did a dumb-arse thing.

So, that set the tone for the entire movie - lots of stupid decisions, like "Oh I'm just gonna go do a pee, I won't be long." YEAH RIGHT. YOU WILL BE VERY LONG. YOU WON'T BE COMING BACK FROM THAT PEE.

Basically I was disappointed, particularly thinking about the original movies and how epic they were. And I'm sorry, but this new "bad-ass lady" character can't hold a candle to Ripley.

Alf: Super-cheesy.

So, who is my favourite alien? To be honest I don't really have one, but I could mention a few that have meant a lot to me in my life. For one, as a kid I used to watch Alf, and looking back I think he's just about the cheesiest thing ever to grace the television screen.

Then there's the classic creepy/evil alien from...you guessed it...the Alien movies.

Can it get more creepy than this?

Totally cute!

Of course, E.T. was a special dude, and I loved him when I was a kid.

But probably my favourite aliens of recent times (recent for me, anyway) are the kids of Roswell. I know, this probably seems so very tame and boring to most of you, but I finally saw this series in the last year and I. was. obsessed.
