It was a decent movie...
Not near as good as Prometheus.
These sequels get more and more watered down every time.
I just gotta be honest, I think hollywood movies are dumb as shit.
These days it's ALL about the sequel, to the point where nothing is really a complete story even when you include the sequels.
It's just a bunch of shit.
The best part of the movie was when the Captain guy was shining the laser at David and he goes "I met the devil when I was a kid" or some shit. I'm like, "WORRRRD."
Cool action scenes or whatever, but yeah...
Just a bunch of typical hollywood tripe. Nothing really that remarkable about it.
I don't know who would really be that excited to see the next one. I could understand having some interest in a Prometheus sequel, but after seeing this I just... really couldn't give a fuck about whatever they do next.
Michael Fassbender/David/Walter isn't really a great villain... I mean it's nothing personal about him, it's just like really? That's what is holding this shit together now? This freakin' robot dude who wants to do the evil thing?
Oookay.
I don't know who would really even be into the Alien style monsters anymore at this point. It's so hella played out. I wanna see some new kinda alien... these aliens are not even intriguing. Predator was way more intriguing than that, and still not even that interesting.
It's just meh.
Spoiler alert... *rolls eyes*
So I mean basically now it's just this freaked out robot dude who's going around to various planets to carry on this virus thingy and kill the "meat" as he put it. Like...
Where's the fun in that?
I think in the next movie, they just need to have shit go horribly wrong for the David dude and kill that guy off and kill his stupid virus thing off.
It's just not even that interesting.
I know some people were super interested in the 'nanobot' and 'nanoparticle' aspect of things because there's some line of thought that nanobots are going to seed the earth and kill us all via various methods and whatnot. Even for the people interested in the nanobot aspect of things, it still wasn't even really that interesting.
I mean it's always fun to see a movie in the theater even if it's kinda crap. And this movie was okay. It wasn't crap. But if I'd seen it outside the theater, I would have been even less impressed. So it's like half as good as Prometheus was.
Prometheus had a fairly interesting parallel between what a lot of people assume is the origin of life on this planet and whatnot... it loosely had a message. Loosely. Barely something to hold onto in that regard. But it was there. With Covenant though, meh... the message was just watered down and definitely not profound or anything.
I would say the main message or analogy was basically that something created lifeforms, lifeforms start wondering who created them, then they start making other lifeforms in their image, and then they eventually die, leaving those created lifeforms to basically follow the same creative/destructive cycles and on and on it goes.
That's basically it.
